I had tried to contact ditabeardmemo, but alas he has not responded to my PM as of yet. However, doing a bit of my own digging, I have found out that many Roland sound modules from the late 80's through the mid 90's had a port on the back that was labeled Mac/PC1/PC2. Apparently these modules...

Oh, Ok. I am amazed at all the stuff you do have to go through just to move files back and forth, all in all it does seem like the easiest thing to do is get all the old programs on a floppy disk and forget about the CD-Rom. But at least I know it is possible to do it should I ever want to...

Pulllleeease! I haven't even began to get warmed up yet. You should see some of my posts in the arcade and model train forums. It seems that as soon as a post gets more then 3 paragraphs long, someone complains. Heck if your head hurts, no one is forcing you to read the post, right? Stop...

Ok, that went over my head, but is that the long way of saying push the red self destruct button? LOL! Ok, got it then, just move everything compressed to the Mac and take care of it there. That was my original question anyway. Thanx, Geo

Ok, I just saw that thread under the Classic Mac thread. I will read through it. Thanx for the tip off! Geo

Sounds great! I will see if I can PM him. Thanx, Geo

So then I have to unpack that hqx file while under the Mac and not within Windows, correct? Oh, ok, so then I CAN do it in Windows. LOL! Yeah, I know I was going nuts trying to find it, but as I pointed out...everything kept going back to that notice. Ahhhh, cool! Thanx! I downloaded that...

Bummer! So that means I am probably out of luck with FutureBasic. Do you run these programs on a PC or the Mac? Thanx, Geo

Heck, I had to ask! But it does sound like the SCSI-IDE-FLASH would come closer to reality. That would be an interesting setup...the main question would be if you could boot from it. Geo

Ok, Ok...We are obviously talking about the same page. The Wiki references a link that takes you to a different site. So I did a bit of my own digging and came up with this site: http://www.stazsoftware.com/futurebasic/ This one doesn't work, So I found THIS site next...

Hello all, I had a question that just popped into my mind. I had seen an adapter that changes USB to SCSI and since the hard drives that are in the old 68k Macs are SCSI drives, it did get me to thinking if there was an adapter that would go the other way around, meaning SCSI to USB. My...

Ok, gotcha. So once I get a SE/30 or Classic II, I should look to see if "Mode32" is on the system? Where would I get it if it doesn't have it? I came across this version of Basic this afternoon, but didn't get too far into my readings. I wanted to see what the commands looked like that...

There were several BASIC files there, there was Microsoft BASIC 3.0 (I assumed that was the one to download) and Microsoft QuickBASIC. I went with "3.0". The file extension is .hqx is that the executable for the Mac? And this version of Basic will run on either an SE/30 or a Classic II? Do...

I have looked on Future Basic's website and I don't see a FutureBasic "2". FutureBasic seems to want OS X 10.4 so would it even work on the older Macs? What is the Mac's equivalent to Window's Visual Basic? Geo

So the original 68k Macs were programmed using Pascal? How is that in comparison to something like C+? Is it easy to learn? Sure, I have Basic Stamps already, but Stamps are not without their problems. For one they are very limited and have small amount of memory capacity. A Basic Stamp...

Basically what I would like to do is hook up a controller or interface board to the Mac much in the same way that they have boards for the PC. These boards usually will take standard analog or digital inputs and they in turn have an output bus in which you can turn on/off relays. That is...

Hello all, I am interested in the older 68k Macs and I am looking into getting either an SE/30 or Classic II machine. One of the main things I would like to do with the Mac is to use it for I/O control. I mainly would like it to be used for lighting/sensor controls for a haunted house project...

Hello Aftermac, Yeah, the guys here are a big help. I been mostly asking technical questions about what could be a potentially easy fix for the many Macs that I see listed on either Ebay or Craigslist. Usually I could probably snatch up an SE/30 for a good price that way. It seems that the...

Ok, gottcha. Probably, but you'd have to write software to drive the SCSI port that way. The DB25 connector on the back of the machine is a standard SCSI port using a non-standard connector (25 pins instead of 50). Arguably, it is a 26 pin connector, as I believe that the connector housing...

How big of a hard drive can you put on the Mac's? Since they have a SCSI to IDE adapter, do they also have a SCSI to SATA adapter? According to my readings on SATA, SATA seems closer to SCSI than IDE AND SATA drives seem to be more available now. The thing is regardless of using an IDE or...
