    TashRouter: An AppleTalk Router

    This is a great thread and I'm about 85% understanding the sequence and all. I'm attempting to get my GatorBox CS and the like units (I have all the variants except he MMAC version GatorMMIM) working to participate in the Globaltalk without using AIR. If that is even possible. I do have a...

    Need help IDing this card.

    Yeah, that is an early Sound Accelerator II card by Digidesign. Meant to work with Yes the early Sound Designer and Sound Tools applications that utilize the DB25 1/2 rack interfaces they had at the time. There is an Analog interface and a Digital Interface as well that can be daisychained...

    Radius Rocket Daughterboards

    I know this is from a bit ago, but I did want to chime in that I do own 2 of the PCI adaptor boards for the Stage II rockets. I got them both from an ex-Radius engineer several years ago He said they came out of the Radius fileserver pre-press machine that used 12 Rockets stage II in it. I...

    Local estate find in San Diego

    I can help with the manual and the software from my FutureSound GS board. Sadly I think I will also never see my board back. It's currently in Australia with George Bodie for cloning and well that's been 3 years? now with near zero communication. But yeah, the manual and software I can help...

    Local estate find in San Diego

    Please please please see if you can find the rare Apple /// UniFile DuoFile controller and maybe the zipgs that may be in a box there. Before his death he did have the controller in a Apple /// though as we were trying to get it working with one of his twiggy drives. I would hate for this...

    Looking For DaynaPORT Nubus Bluestreak 10/100 Ethernet Drivers

    I know it's 2 years later, but in the process of rebuilding my Avid Media Processor rig, I needed these drivers for my own Bluestreak Nubus card.  I found them in my own archive. The floppy is here somewhere but not located with it's box which I also have.  Hopefully this helps someone.  I'll...

    Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh - Hail to the king, baby!

    Excellent... A bit offtopic, but the picture of your lab applefreak is AWESOME!!! I'll have to post pics of my kindred lab to yours sometime soon once I get the cubicle area finished and the rest of the basement sorted. My question to you is? I see you have a Tape 40SC there on your storage...

    Apple //GS and iMac G4 20"

    gecko, that is perfectly normal for a IIGS. You will need to either find a 5.25" floppy drive and some software to boot, or a 3.5" drive and some software to boot, or even get a Localtalk box, and AppleShare 2.x (for sure) or 4.x (maybe) to remote boot the IIGS off the fileserver.. It's been a...

    Macintosh IIVX and important lesson

    No doubt! If you ever have used SpotShot! Carpet cleaner and stain remover you probably know how incredibly wicked and powerful that stuff is. When it proved safe on the labeling I was surprised. It wasn't as powerful on grease pencil as I would have thought, so I figured WD-40 would be good...

    Macintosh IIVX and important lesson

    Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to get a near mint condition Macintosh IIvx for my collection. I don't have one of those until now. Down side is that I learned that Spot Shot carpet stain remover works EXCELLENT on grease pen markings by the thrift store. Learned that WD-40 works TOO...

    alphaSyntauri

    Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying chord training software and the system works and sounds great, but the main sequencer floppy came in unreadable...

    IIfx/CD 5 year tune-up . . .

    Hey also curious. You mentioned you had a "little box" for that Sound Accelerator II board. What does that look like? I've seen the Black and Beige small metal boxes that hook up with DB-25 cabling to the back of those cards. They had the analog one and a digital IO one, but they were both...

    New US Copyright Exemptions – Implications for Old Software?

    Now anyone want to tackle the old Digi, and Avid dongles? I'm all for that! It's a nightmare even finding the software let alone the right dongle AND the right hardware! Luckily some of this stuff was done back then when it was very not right, so today we can actually USE the software with the...

    Me Mum found it: Daystar Turbo601 and Radius Videovision!

    If you can wait like 3 or 4 weeks, as I'm uncovering more of what's in my basement and our spare room as we clean out the house. I MIGHT still have my extra Nubus breakout "stick" for that VideoVision card you have. They are actually very nice cards and the conversion is about as close to an...

    Liberation of a First Generation PowerMacs

    Hey I knew I was reading something similar about lockups and the hpv card. NOT sure if this applies to how much memory you have in your machine or not, but I will attribute this to BUGSI! Thanks a lot. Odd trivia may indeed come in handy around here. We never know when! So does that sound...

    My first ever conquest

    Nice Score! A free Mac is better than no mac at all! Besides I do like the blue plastic logo on the sides! Find a Radeon 7000 pci or NV GeForce 6200 pci and mac flash it and use that monitor too. Congrats!

    Guss 1.7 or newer wanted

    Very Very Nice setup for a IIGS you have there. On the Zip drive as long as you make sure the normal scsi chaining for termination is in order you will be fine more or less. There's a chance you will have to make the termination power mod to the high speed scsi card OR use and ACTIVE...

    VOIP setup

    The Microsoft USB headsets are actually pretty good quality. I was surprised when I used one a while ago with my TrixBox setup. In my case it was usb to the main pc upstairs that connected to the TrixBox server in the basement rack via ip phone software. Have fun!

    Performa MIDI Help

    Any chance this could be related to the serial port arbiter extension thing on some older macs, or maybe even if you might have Appletalk ON but not meaning to? Might also be an IAC thing holding the port open. I'm guessing Appletalk has grabbed the port, in which case make sure you go and...
