Thank you for this bit of information! With this I was happy to order (overseas) one of those blades and attempt installing it into an old 3rd-party cartridge (compatible with the HP92295) on my NeXT N2000 laser printer, and I am happy to report that it was a success! Does anyone know a...

Looking forward to what comes out of this, nice work!

Brilliant work! Although I must say I am not looking forward to doing all that work on my camera! Does any of the image sensor deconding rely on analog circuitry, ie. the caps? Ie. did the degraded cap have a visible effect in the pictures themselves?? 🤓 One additional issue that I had was...

I meant about running an AppleShare server with only System 6 machines to do any AFP. I am not sure what to make of that TOPS 2.0 on garden, if that's not a AFP but something custom? If I read it right, perhaps it should work as a file share between the machines, I might need to give it a go...

I've been fiddling with the FlashBoxes but now I have a problem; while I do have two System 6 machines at hand now (SE FDHD and LC) what software I could use to test? I've used to System 7 having the built-in file server parts, but is it doable under System 6? I guess I could get a third...

That's a huge improvement! Hopefully these wipers will be at some point re-produced in some way that it would be easy to replace them. I wonder if there could even be a 3D-printable replacement (there are flexibly materials like TPU, but the material would really need to withstand the heat...

Oh and I found this mentioned in the Hands-On AppleTalk book:

I share your pain on that one 😫 🫂 I just did a clean install of System 6.0.8L on my LC and now the driver installs and loads fine! Interestingly the installer started with this prompt (which didn't show up on the LC so I guess it did some model identification): A quick google suggests those...

@Mk.558: actually no, this was from a local auction and I paid a grand price of 2EUR for the two units, disks and cables :cool: Great info on the different TOPS's. Would be neat if the PAL can be dumped/cracked for reverse engineering. I'll try to set up a System 6 machine and try if I can get...

I tried a fresh install of 7.0.1 on the LC (was using a 7.1.1 previously and that installation had MacTCP etc installed previously so I thought that might have conflicted with something), but it fails the same way on 7.0.1 with row of icons on boot. I wonder if the drivers are meant for System 6?

Thanks ole. I switched gear and on my Mac LC I can run the installer from the floppy image so the image seems to be fine! The installer does its thing but after restart (as soon as the "@FlashTalk INIT" is in the Extensions) I get this on boot (endless string of FlashBox icons with an X) and...

Hello. I was able to purchase a pair of the FlashBox LocalTalk boxes, two floppies and two Mac serial port cables. Before seeing these, I had no idea that Sun had something to do with LocalTalk or all things. http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/sun/TOPS/TOPS_Product_Guide_1990.pdf...

^ This. I go with spinning drives as long as I have any that work; I like the stepper sounds (not the spinning itself) and in most cases speed is not really relevant. For testing and using pre-made images a modern xxxSCSI stuff is great. Now that I have ZuluSCSI boards that have the initiator...

Would be great to have the image conversion built-in (y) For macOS: I came across GraphicConverter (https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/) that can convert QTK files into other picture formats (also batch convert). It's shareware and has a timed nag screen at the start but it...

Interesting; apparently re-conditioning wipers is at least in short-scale possible, as mentioned here (see the quoted block): https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/laserwriters.39467/#post-426488 I kinda like the idea that the old ink cartridges have so much ink that they rather need...

That video makes it look so clean job, I find it hard to believe... 😅 I had a look and there are some suppliers that sell wiper blades as well: https://shop.delacamp.com/en/wiper-blade-for-use-in-ricoh-ipsio-nx-500/item-1-30951-2111.html Would be handy to buy new ones instead of ripping apart...

I've been working a on slightly older NeXT laser printer (based on the Canon SX engine, like HP Laserjet II -series). I've had two NOS ink cartridges and both have issues (with the rubber wiper I presume), one leaks ink dust everywhere and the other works, but still has one or two repeating...

I already tested it and it works great! (y) Also thanks for adding the schematic for the serial cable on the Git Readme. I build my cable with help from the earlier links you had there. You might want to add a note of solder-side or pin-side on the pinout just to make sure (for one I always...

Bumping this thread with a new 📸 And something new, I just learnt about this yesterday: JQuickTake - Modern Software for the Apple QuickTake Camera (Reddit), code and software at https://github.com/Crazylegstoo/JQuickTake. It's a very neat new utility to transfer QuickTake 100/150 photos over...
