Video graphics generator? Controls for CNC?

Very impressive guide! Makes me glad I sold my QT while it still worked..

I saw this the other day. Congrats! What a terrific project! :)

Highly unlikely the drive is partitioned. If you need confirmation that your Profile is 5mb open it up and check the label on the HD.

Those were very common back in the '90's, particularly in the cubicle environment that was prevalent then. It kept people from walking by and seeing that you were really playing solitaire instead of working.

Yep, some version of a Novy. I have one just like it. I made a thread about it few years back. I never found a manual for this exact model.

Very cool. That's a pretty early pair of chips on that board.

Sounds like a plan. I doubt there's any reason to downgrade the iPod firmware. I don't think the TAM will run anything past 9.1 anyway.

According to this: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/specs/ipod.html The 1st gen iPod requires OS 9.2.1 or later. If you reformat it using another system your TAM may see it, I don't know. The Sonnet card may be an issue too.

Way back around 1997-8 in the the heady days of the Apple Clone Wars when I was at Motorola we had one of those PowerStack systems running NT in our office. Our admin had it set up as a server since everyone else in the office was still using Macs. I don't know what became of that PowerStack...

Shame about that one for sure. It's just what parts can be salvaged.

Agreed!

The 128K-512K Macs were realistically expensive tech demos. They lacked the memory and applications to be truly useful. Imho, the Plus was the first truly useful Mac. But you're right, the small screen and lack of color hurt the Mac. As far a low-end Mac I think it really took until ~1990 or so...

Nice summary! Andy Hertzfeld and Steve Capps were geniuses to shoehorn all that functionality into the original Macintosh software.

SoundJam was/is a great program. I still have my copy around somewhere. I'm still mad the Apple bought it. :mad:

I too used the pads from TexElec.

Cool find! $9346 in today's dollars is an eye-popping $24,675. For 16mhz! Interesting that the 851 is "XC". It's a early part and means it wasn't fully qualified at the time it was released.

So 1600x1200 resolution. Full 1080 would be better but for the price that's pretty good.

I thought I had one of these around somewhere. I remember running (processing) these back-in-the-day at Motorola.

Neat score!
