    Reviving Mike Willegal's 'Brain Board' For Apple II computers

    Recently @jajan547 posted in another thread about Mike Willegal's "Brain Board" for Apple II computers. The two of us decided it would be worthwhile to split a JLCPCB order. Mike abandoned this project years ago, but in doing so, he also generously made the files and source public...

    IIe Enhanced repair and upgrade log

    I recently got a great looking IIe from @LaPorta and took some time to get it up and running. The machine was in unknown/untested condition and I was perfectly fine with this, knowing there may be faults. Here is the system stripped down to start. An Apple IIe doesn't need any cards to boot...

    Identifying cards in a II+

    I couldn't help but spring for a nice looking II+ online. I should get it soon, but, I'm wondering if anyone can identify the cards. I'm presuming the Microsoft labelled card is a language card, the other slotted card I have no idea. Also there is a blue PCB which appears hooked into the...

    P-L4B Apple-1 microSD Storage Card with Briel Replica 1 Plus

    Recently, I built a Briel Replica 1 Plus, which is an Apple 1 clone made by Briel Computers and distributed through ReActive Micro. I built the kit pretty easily, it's a good project for anyone with a little through-hole assembly experience. When you first assemble it and boot it up, you can...

    Got my 1st Mac Plus today

    Having no intention of adding one to my collection, I did always like the look of these guys. I recently saw an ad pop up on Craigslist in my area for a Mac plus, complete with keyboard, mouse, Hard Drive 20SC, 800k floppy drive, cables, and bag. The gentlemen was really nice, retired guy with...

    ADB Spanish keyboards

    Does anyone know what ADB Spanish keyboards exist? I can't find much info on it, but I seem to remember having them in my later high school Spanish classes. I could be wrong; we had 68k Macs with the Spanish version of MacOS on them, and I could swear the keyboards were a special layout.

    Book upload: "A Guide to Computer Music" For Apple II, GS, Macintosh and more

    I had mentioned this book in another thread (I think it was on this forum anyway), and at least one user had expressed interest in this content. I really love using 68K macs and Apple II's for music. I recently was able to track down a 2nd copy of this rare/out of print book, covering in great...

    Simple ZMODEM server for RaSCSI

    Working with my new RaSCSI, and ran into some issues with the Daynaport setup. Open transport doesn't recognize my CPU upgrade, and MacTCP is only working outbound, so I set that aside (I'll get back to it), because honestly, all I really needed was the ability to access an FTP server, HTTP...

    Is there a System 6 compatible Emulator that can send serial data outbound?

    I have a Korg 05R/W (among other MIDI modules) which has a computer serial input. I am wondering if there are any emulators, given a correct serial to USB adapter and settings, that can communicate over serial interfaces. Ideally system 6 as that's what I have currently worked out the process...

    Help with General Midi USB interfaces on OS 9 (M Audio)

    Hello all, I have 2 of these interfaces: I'm trying to get them working on OS 9.2.2. Using the Quattro drivers found on Macintosh Repository, I'm able to get sound out of the cards when connected to my Pismo. But try as I might with OMS I cannot get working midi output (My sound canvas...

    Skate finds a iigs

    Spotted a nice iigs on Craigslist recently. The guy with it was the 2nd owner, who got it from a teacher. The teacher had purchased it through the educator buy from apple in the late 80's and took amazing care of it. Everything was in such good shape I felt almost speechless when I got home and...

    How to share a prodos partition / IIGS floppy woes

    I recently got a IIGS (stand by for a conquests thread), and I've been trying to write floppies for it, but the drives in my powermacs are pretty unreliable. The external 3.5 that came with the IIGS works great with my SE, and the SE can attach to shared volumes on the powermac. The powermac...

    Benchmarking SCSI2SD Devices in a PCI powermac

    I recently decided to test out the v5 and v6 devices in comparison on my Power Macintosh 7500.  The machine has 256MB ram and a 500 mhz sonnet G3 card. Using norton to benchmark the disks I tested the v5 and v6 scsi2sd each on the internal SCSI bus and then on an ATTO PCI SCSI card. The net...
