An alternative to the Radius Powerview (which has been partially emulated on the PiSCSI), would be timbuktu - basically screensharing over appletalk. It's pretty neat. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/timbuktu

I wonder if the PALs have the security fuses blown. I'm guessing as it is a prototype and still very much a development system there is a minor chance that they would still be readable by a programmer. If so, that's probably the only way to get at least some of the PAL equations for the macintosh!

That's a good point, now I should probably try and see if there's another way of testing if software is actually using the 68020

So I recently picked up a very nice example of a dual floppy Macintosh SE which came with a Radius Accelerator 16 installed in it. Alas, the hard drive was dead, so I've installed System 6 and System 7.0.1 on an external scsi2sd to see if I can get it working. Despite installing the radiusware...

The controller has just now been removed and there is no difference in behaviour.

Unfortunately the SCSI controller has been removed but... no dice. Exact same issue.

Ah thanks!

As per the title, I picked up an empty IIci case recently and it looks like all possible sources of a logic board have evaporated! So I don't suppose any one has one knocking around? I would even be happy with a IIcx board. Please let me know!

Ahhh ok, although I would of thought that the floppy drive would of had priority over the scsi bus?

Bit of an interesting problem this one. I recently picked up a Macintosh SE FDHD which had suffered a battery leak, however, the logic board did clean up relatively well and it appears that no traces had been damaged. Powering it up showed signs of life - it would bong, pass the memory check...

If the case of the resistor isn't affected, then it should be fine. If you're worried you can test it with a multimeter to make sure it still acts like a resistor. 

As per the title, I was just wondering if anyone - hopefully UK based! - Has a spare rear case for a 512k? I've looked for quite a while on the usual places but they haven't really came up at all.  Hope someone can help!  

Yep! A very similar solution, but I'm using a 2gb SCSI2SD for storage, so I just have to worry about the 4mb ram limit! I've also found for some reason soundedit 1.1 doesn't like to run on system 6.0.8 as it keeps running into errors, but system 6.0.3 works fine!  And obviously system 7 just...

Holy moly it worked! Turned the sampling down to 11khz, converted it to mono, booted my macintosh classic off the system 6 ROM disk and with SoundEdit 1.1 I got music! Incredibly tinny and crunchy music, but music nevertheless! Should work on my plus as well! 

I'll try that! I imagine you mean running SoundEdit 1.1 on the 68000, and SoundEdit 16 to downsample the AIFF files on a more powerful Macintosh (like my powerbook G3)?

I suppose a lot of people have asked this, but I've never found something that works properly.  Does anyone know of a method of playing common -ish sound files (midi, mod or perhaps even wav files, but not something like converting them to system 7 sounds) on a 68000 compact mac? The closest...

Hang on I think I just found suitable replacements Does this look right? https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Bourns/4608X-104-221-331LF?qs=zRaq9JBfD9%2B12SkSx27ilw%3D%3D

Just checked, pin ones goes to ground on all three of the packs, and pin 8 goes to termpower

Yep it needs three resistor packs. so they are literally just SIL resistor packs? 

I've recently acquired a pair of 1gb scsi drives which work absolutely fine... so long as the system has an external scsi terminator installed. As it turns out they are both missing the resistor termination packs, which I only now realise are a bit more complex than a SIL resistor pack. Does...
