Hi all, I have got an SE/30 with a nic card to successfully connect to a netatalk 2.x share. I've also been successful in connecting the se/30 to a mini vmac share through a tashtari raspberry hat (using tashtalk daemon which converts appletalk packets to multicast UDP and vice versa). Is...

Hi all, I am considering in purchasing a non-functioning mac portable that throws the following error codes: 00000014/0000CD36 and 00000083/10001CF6. The first one is: Power Manager board power on. During send, no start of a handshake. I was not able to find information for the second one...

I recently acquired a Mac SE/30 from ebay. This was a seller refurbished unit that was advertised as having been retrobrighted, upgraded with an HD and recapped. I normally avoid buying seller refurbished items since I enjoy going through this process myself. However the unit was reasonably...

Most owners of zip 100 drives know how brittle the plastic becomes over time. You cannot even open the case without braking most of the holding clips. In the direction of preserving my two drives (one parallel and one scsi) I have begun to model a new case. Please note that my 3d modelling...

Hello, I would appreciate your input on getting this to work. I have purchased an asante microprint bridge and would like to use mini vmac to effortlessly transfer data. The way I understand it is that mini vmac (special build) speaks LToUDP, and the asante microprint speaks Ethetalk...

Hi all, I am trying to build a model for 3d printing the plastic parts of iomega zip 100 drives that break very easily. I have found a 3DM file for the drive, which I plan to use it as the base, however I am unable to convert it to stl. Can someone help me convert it? Thanks

Hi all, does anyone know if such a thing exists? My scsi zip 100 drive fell down and broke into 100 pieces. It seems that the plastic that makes these thing has become very brittle. I am wondering if an enclosure could be 3d printed. I've done some research online but couldn't find something.

Hi all, I recently acquired a scsi iomega zip drive and wanted to share my experience using it with a mac plus. a) The 4.2 driver is required in order to auto-mount the zip disk and to eject it. b) Once you perform a normal format on the disk, you can copy a system folder, and immediately you...

Hi all, I am rebuilding the MagicSD thread because it was lost in the recent data loss event and I know that at least some of you found it useful. What it is It is an image that you write to an empty SD card and is meant to be used together with SCSI2SD. In contrast to other devices/projects...

Hello all, I have been using scsi2sd and mini vmac and transferring images back and forth. I think I am doing something wrong with writing sd can using dd, because the mac will not boot. When I write the same image file to the same sd card with balena etcher, it works fine. Could you please...

Hello all, I just bought a used mac plus. can someone help me identify this addon? It looks as some kind of rom expansion. Functionality-wise it does not make any difference. thanks

Hello all, just wanted to say I had success in reading and writing 800k disks for my mac. Of course credits go to the developers of the above programs. I am more than happy to make a simple guide if there is interest.

Hello all, browsing the internet I have found a few projects for creating a pc-interface in order to read a 800k disk (low level magnetic flux transitions). A couple of them are arduino based but are targeted towards amiga disks (e.g. https://github.com/RobSmithDev/ArduinoFloppyDiskReader). Do...

Hello everyone, happy new year. I just became an owner of a working Macintosh Plus '88 from ebay. It has analog board 630-0108. Upon initial inspection, the battery had been removed, no corrosion whatsoever, and all caps seem fine except rifa C33 and C36. These two seem to have a lot of cracks...
