    nice, final edition

    What OS to put on a Quadra 840AV?

    Probably not, just ordinary video and network cards. What are you running IRIX on?

    Building an internal grayscale card for the SE/30

    The image on film made by an SLR camera is not... dots. It captures the image from light (which has no stepped gradations or dot) using optics, and duplicates at whatever the film density is, but I don't think we can just hand wave away what is going on at literally the molecular level on film...

    Building an internal grayscale card for the SE/30

    You'd scan your B&W film and prints with 1-bit depth? I can't really agree with your characterization re: randomized matrices of silver, poetic though, nor the insinuation that your analogy is somehow more than an analogy, and literal, that ultimately the universe is in halftone with dots so...

    Building an internal grayscale card for the SE/30

    The Xceed MacroColor 30HR supported the Apple Portrait Monitor, which was grayscale, in 24-bit, at least according to gamba's Xceed spec chart. There are a handful of photogravure presses that will duplicate B&W images from film burned to metal plate to paper without a halftone dot, meaning a...

    Building an internal grayscale card for the SE/30

    Just out of curiosity, is internal 24-bit grayscale @1024x768 possible? What are the drawbacks?

    another SE/30 restoration

    Sorry for what amounts to a tease, idk when I'll have time for getting this online. I have a bunch of stuff to do, but suffice to say the hardware works, and I'm very pleased with the result of Mr. Anderson's assistance. AAAAA++++ Recommended! Will use again!

    Why!!!!

    Cool! We can both race the Paris-Dakar! FWIW, I think mine is the nearly same as a GT, with a different grill and lights (circa 84 style), as well as the Lambda Sond emissions thing, an overdrive (5th gear is it's own little transmission on the back of the M46), which is nice on the highway, and...

    Why!!!!

    Hey bewicklund, I have a silver 1984 factory intercooled 242 turbo with less than 200K miles that I'm about ready to let go of. Engine is great. Turbo still whinneys, but it should probably be replaced. Syncronizers in 2nd gear are bad, so it will slip out of second when clutching, but that...

    another SE/30 restoration

    I looked at the board, and C6 was missing. I contacted Thomas, was confused by what he said at first, and then I had to look closer. (There's considerable artifacts from the messed up plastic loupe I used to get this image, the board is clean as a whistle.)

    another SE/30 restoration

    I saw that in the image, which he sent before a few days before he decalred he was done. I haven't yet had a chance to look at the board itself, still packed. I keep getting distracted, and don't want to be interrupted when I reassemble. I'm just assuming it's there. When I get to it, I'll take...

    another SE/30 restoration

    Quick update, more to follow when I can get into it. The estimable Mr. Thomas Andrews of Amiga of Rochester has completed the recaps to my specifications, as well as the fan mod, and my boards have arrived back home. He refuses to charge me for work until I test the boards. (Have shaky hands and...

    ANS 700 Power Supply

    I think for a $1500 quote, you should put a name next to it. They earned it for not being forthcoming and just confessing they're too busy. They don't want to be bothered with it, that's all it means. But then ignore, put it out of your mind, and just get some more quotes.

    Mac SEs won't boot with external SCSI attached

    Another option to try is boot key combos: Cmd-Option-P-R /zaps the PRAM Cmd-Option-Shift-Delete /forces a boot from external drive Cmd-Option-Shift-Delete-<SCSI ID#> /forces a boot from the specified SCSI ID Option /allows boot volume selection

    interesting Classic video artifacts

    Just window shopping. This machine is available, but I'm not interested. I've just never seen this particular video sickness before, or I don't recognize it, at least. Anyone else seen it? What's causing this?

    Modern OSX Floppy Drive Format

    I think that is exactly right. From a cursory examination of the hfsutils hmount manual, it's all about partition format; media is irrelevant. I am considering mucking with free ESXi on a 2012 Mac mini bare iron (dragging feet due to giving up a beautiful console for a stinky web interface)...

    Modern OSX Floppy Drive Format

    Hey, congrats macuserman. That is excellent. MacPorts is good stuff, and now you have easy access to build and install qemu (which, among many other OS, can also run Leopard btw https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10784 ), various minivmac emulators (another method to hfs mentioned...

    Modern OSX Floppy Drive Format

    I didn't realize it at first, but there is. Here is a recipe. First, you have to have or get a free Apple Developer account. Then download and install XCode from developer.apple.com (Monterey can run XCode 13.1 & 13.2, and probably recent earlier versions as well) Then install MacPorts...
