I am working on a project with my Plus. The analog board is dead and while I do plan to fix it, I want to play around with a microcontroller. Anyway, One thing I'll need the microcontroller to do is read the video signal and convert the data to a VGA signal. I'm going to be using the Parallax...
I have a dead LC II. I'd like to see if the hard drive is still good and if possible, copy any data off of it. However, the connector is most definitely not IDE as it has about 1/3 more pins than a typical IDE drive. What is it and can I convert it in any way?
I have the motherboard for a bondi blue 233 MHz iMac. I remember that this Mac cannot use a drive bigger than 6 GB for a start up disk. I remember trying to partion a larger drive for this purpose and could never get it to work. Where can I find such a small IDE drive? Also, the power supply...
I naively thought that StuffIt would unstuff StuffIt files. I need to access the files in a .sitx file and StuffIt 5.5 doesn't recognize it as a valid archive. Doing a little research, it appears that this file requires a later version of StuffIt that only works on OS 9. Naturally, I only have...
I'm using an 68K emulator. The program I have to edit the drive in Windows will not allow me to move the only version of StuffIt Extractor I can find, version 5.5, to the Mac's drive. I keep getting an error stating that the HQX header is missing. Where can I find a working copy? The Mac is all...
My Mac Plus' analog board went out. While I could just replace the components, I thought it would be much more fun to switch out the CRT and analog board with a custom designed power supply and a FPGA controlled LCD.
What I need to know is how the video output is structured. The FPGA will...
I need the diagram for the power/video/sound connector on the motherboard. I found this diagram online months ago, but did not save it and I do not remember the search terms I used.
Any help will be appreciated.
Right next to the CPU are holes for a 68-pin PLCC socket. I'm guessing this is for a 68881, but I cannot find any documentation about this phantom socket. Has any ever played around with this?
