    Netatalk 2.2.7 Released

    Bear with me, I'm a linux amateur. Anyone know if this will be picked up by the package managers/distro for Raspberry Pis?

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    Tested the other internal 1gig jaz drive. Long story short: it is bad too. My SE/30 wouldn't ever recognize that there was a disc inserted. So that's two internal jaz drives that are bad... I wonder if they can be repaired or even combined parts into one working drive... It would probably be...

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    Tested the one internal 1g jaz drive as an external setup with an ATX power supply and a ribbon-to-din adapter. My Mac SE/30 properly recognized the drive and its SCSI ID (6) and even recognized that there was a disk inserted! SCSIprobe didn't report any SCSI termination issues and my other SCSI...

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    It definitely could be... I'm not sure how to test it definatively. The internal jaz drives are supposed to auto terminate. I did pick up a couple 3-connector 50-pin cables, so I'll try the internal drive on the middle connector and a 50-pin terminator on the end connector. I just haven't gotten...

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    I very much appreciate the info, RS! And even more, I _really_ appreciate your site! I've learned a lot of things from your pages. I use your System 7 image files all the time. I think I might have a pair of bad drives. I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I tried the same jaz disks in a...

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    Thanks JB Hmm... Interestingly, the drive is assigned a drive letter. I tried the commands in that link, and they all showed a drive, but no volumes on it. Most reported that it was a removable disk and did not have any disk/media inserted. I may try booting off a GParted live cd and...

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    Thanks Unknown_K, but I have the SCSI card sorted out. It's the Jaz drive that is unrecognized by Windows 10.

    Jaz SCSI Card in a Windows PC?

    OK, so I finally gave up trying to get the Iomega-branded SCSI card working. I stumbled across a page on SavageTaylor's website that showed how to get an Adaptec 2900-series SCSI card working on Win10. So I bought an AHA-2940U card and followed their directions, and it works! Well... at least...

    Very cool, Andrew! Have you made any further refinements to your design?

    Admin: please delete this thread.

    Ugh. Nevermind. I asked this same question earlier and forgot. Admin: please delete.

    What to do with an iMac G4 Flat Panel (800MHz)?

    All fantastic ideas! Thanks gentlemen!

    What to do with an iMac G4 Flat Panel (800MHz)?

    I just got a free and totally working iMac G4 Flat Panel (15", 800MHz). I wiped the drive and installed Tiger 10.4.6 and ran all the updates. I connects to the Internet and even opens up the Apple website! Of course, it opens Macintosh Garden... But, I'm really not familiar with these machines...

    Introducing (and interest check) AirTalk: Wireless plug-and-play LocalTalk dongles

    Ooooo! I'm interested in these as well. Can't wait until they're on sale. I see you're in Wales. Is there any plan to have any made across the pond (in the US) to avoid the probably expensive P&P ? Regardless, put me down as interested.

    Apple IIc - no beep, no drive seek, no video (maybe) - worth repairing?

    I dug around on Big Mess O Wires site a bit and found: You can't boot from floppy EMU 5.25" images while it is plugged in externally You CAN boot from Smart Drive images while plugged in externally, if you set the correct mode via text file on the EMU's config So that's what I did, and booted...

    Apple IIc - no beep, no drive seek, no video (maybe) - worth repairing?

    Hooray! I have ROM v3 and the built-in diags come back "System OK", which is awesome. I'm having trouble getting it to recognize my floppy EMU plugged into the external drive port. Since the IIc is working properly, I really don't want to take it apart and risk snapping any brittle plastics...

    Apple IIc - no beep, no drive seek, no video (maybe) - worth repairing?

    Thanks gentlemen! I truly appreciate the help. Now... I have to figure out how to get the floppyEMU working and get this booted properly. First I'll give the on-board diags a try. I hope it has the later ROM...

    Apple IIc - no beep, no drive seek, no video (maybe) - worth repairing?

    Some progress this morning... Composite video works! On first boot, floppy drive seeks On first boot, you get a nice POST beep On first boot, it displays the "Apple IIc" insert disk screen. (I don't have any IIc disks) Consecutive boots fail and show more and more garbage on the screen. The...

    Apple IIc - no beep, no drive seek, no video (maybe) - worth repairing?

    A friend gave me an Apple IIc that hasn't been used in decades. It worked when it was last used. It was dusty but appeared in good condition. He no longer had the power supply, mouse, or any of the disks. So I ordered a power supply online (yikes the originals are pricey!). I got the PSU and...

    WPA2 for PowerBooks/iBooks?

    Thanks gentlemen. I kinda figured that was the situation. I'd rather not create a separate WEP/WPA1 network for these devices. The risk/reward quotient just isn't worth it. It'll just use a wired connection when I need to. It's not like it happens very often.
