The OS is Dietpi based on Debian Bullseye. I checked and found I actually installed the main branch, so I probably should remove netatalk.

I just installed the previous version, but I haven't yet configured or run the install. How should an update be done? Can I install over the existing version or does it need to be uninstalled? What configure flags should be used for someone interested in networking 68k machines? I followed an...

@bigmessowires Thanks for this detailed info on the possible structure of the floppy and offer to help extract files from the disk! I'll see if Copy II Mac can read the disk. I may also end up trying a Greasweasel, but not sure if it is worth the potential rabbit hole of getting into that...

Interesting, so it sounds like a theoretical PDS ROM flasher board could potentially work with the earlier LC machines with some tweaks to the Flasher software. No worries about the replica Lobos boards! This project randomly came to mind earlier today and it was a nice surprise to see an update...

Insane work on the PDS card. That is an exciting proposition to have a retro machine being able to serve as a ROM programmer. Would it also work with an 030 LC III? I am not super familiar with the LC series PDS variations.

Are there any native 68k apps that archive a disk similar to a Greaseweazle with the original hardware? I tried running Norton Utilities and a couple other tools, but they want the disk to be unlocked. I am hesitant to unlock the disk and potentially ruin the disk further. It would be great if...

Any advice for methods for recovering a floppy disk that is no longer readable? I came across an old disk that says it has some files, likely from my first hard drive. It was likely written to with a Mac Plus and stored indoors in a cabinet with some cassette tapes. I tried reading the disk in a...

Really cool concept, and it's an interesting approach to getting power to the board. I had a similar thought of grabbing power from another port like a serial port in case it is needed, but that approach isn't nearly as elegant. Regarding the dip switch settings, I would be interested in support...

@trag I was able to find it, thanks!

Was a copy of this CD image backed up somewhere?

Awesome, thanks! With the PLCC flash chips available, is there a limitation on the max ROM size configuration compared to the flash used for 8MB ROM SIMMs? I'm not aware of any custom ROMs that added a boot disk for the Quadra machines. (Are there any?) I vaguely remember trying out bbraun's...

Damn @dougg3 congrats on proving out the app with your Lobos replica!! It's interesting that you bootstrapped the ROM with the programmer and then were able to program it in-situ. I am also interested in a board if you have any spares! It might be another unexpected use for my new Xgecu...

Haha, oh no, it's soon to be a goner then.

One click or multiple clicks? Sometimes it just clicks away for a long time.

This thread reminded me of a Fujitsu MO drive I have but didn't try out. Is it normal for them to make a light clicking or knocking noise a few times when they power up with a disk inside? I'm wondering if it is a bad sign of some imminent mechanical failure.

I'm guessing the glue was also for shock and vibe in shipping and moving around the machine.

Yeah, that was the comment I read and I found a couple other comments. It's surprising that this battery isn't widely known, but it seems like it is used in different applications and can be found cheaply. I recently saw Bolle's SE/30 reloaded board using the coin cell and thought that was...

If you don't care about the brand, it looks like Amazon had a 12 pack under $5 (in camel's price history), but it looks like it recently went out of stock. There's also an 10 pack for less than $9.

I recently came across a reddit comment that suggested the CR14250 3 V nominal, which I also wasn't aware of. They claimed the "CR" chemistry (Lithium Manganese Dioxide (Li-MnO2)) is much safer than the "ER" chemistry (Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries (Li-SOCl2)). @Breathing The batteries...
