    Issue with IIci and Display Card 24AC

    Hello, I got one of these cards... As far I can see this is the version sold by Apple of the Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24AC. As per the sticker in the ROM chip, it seems to be version 1.1 I'm using it in my IIci with System 7.5.5 (supposedly it should work as the ROM is 1.1). The card itself...

    Can't get AppleTalk to work on System 7.1.1 Pro

    I have a PowerBook 145B where I installed 7.1.1 Pro... This version includes "PowerTalk", which I never used and I typically disable. In this Mac I can't get AppleTalk to work, I can't see anything in the LocalTalk network. By default I didn't have any "Network" item in the control panel, so I...

    Seeking basic example in C/C++ using the Process-to-Process Communication Toolbox

    Hello, for a project I want to send short messages from an app to another in a different Mac (both running System 7). I was pointed to the Process-to-Process Communication Toolbox documentation, but I'm not clever enough to build a working program in C using the code snippets in Pascal. Is...

    Weird problem with PowerCache and SE/30

    I got a PowerCache 50MHz (P33) and the adapter made by @Bolle I tried it with the logic board outside the case, using a cable extender and all works fine. I tried to do benchmarks and I got quite nice improvements. But... now comes the weird thing... When I try it inside the case, the Mac...

    Daystar PowerCache 50 MHz on SE/30 ???

    Hey, I got a Daystar PowerCache 50 that I was initially thinking to add to a IIci, but now I'm thinking that maybe the SE/30 could be a nicer host. Does anyone has experience with this? Where could I find the adapter board? Is it compatible with the Rominator II? Thanks!

    How were the floppies included with the Plus?

    Hey, recently I made these replicas of the floppies coming with a 128K or 512K, to complete my 512K. I used as reference this page to a Museum. I'd like to do the same for the Plus, but I don't find a clear reference of which disk came with the Plus. I only found this one, but I guess some...

    Battery holder for 512K

    Hello, I got a 512K that is in pretty good shape, except for the battery holder, which has one contact gone due to corrosion. I guess this battery holder is not easy at all to find, but does anyone of you know about a practical approach to restore it, or to retrofit another solution? Txs!

    400K drive too noisy

    I tried to look for information about this, but I couldn’t find anything useful. I’m restoring a 512K which is good shape, and the floppy is giving me most of work. The mechanism was stuck and I managed to solve it. Now the disk inserts and ejects fine. But is too noisy when spinning. It...

    Hotline Server for Linux

    Hello, I'm building a Hotline server (for the fun, basically). I managed to have one operational already using Mobius (hotline.retrobyt.es, it's in hltracker.com). Mobius seems to work well but I'm having issues with the integrity of uploads and downloads. Does anyone know of another solution...

    Can a SE/30 with ROMinator II run System 6.0.8 (or earlier)

    I want to test this, and I was wondering... what's the earliest System version that will boot in a SE/30 with a 32-bit clean ROM (ROMinator II in my case). Txs!

    Problem with IIci and NuBus cards

    Hello, testing an Ethernet Card that works on my IIsi and not in my IIci, it seems that I could have a problem with the NuBus slots. I found this: The Cap next to this IC did leak and it was replaced, but I didn't see until now evident damages in this chip. Did you have similar experiences?
