10.3 doesn't need XPostFacto - it's the last system that's officially supported.
I was able to mostly solve the issue - I repartitioned the drive with Drive Setup (and not Disk utility from the OSX install disc) and situated the OSX and OS9 partitions within the first 8GB of the drive. I think...
I have here a Powerbook G3 Lombard/Bronze keyboard that I can't for the life of me get to hold an OSX install. I can install 10.3 just fine, but after one or two reboots or cold boots, it refuses to start up - I get the "prohibited" icon screen no matter what. I can't even boot to OS9 on the...
What Is The Apple IIGS? and it's contributors managed to find the driver and put it on one of their compilations. I haven't tested it as I managed to find a better SCSI card, solving the problem. However, anyone else who wants to try and boot from this combination of Rev. C SCSI card and PCMCIA...
I was trying to see if there was any way around the problems I've been having with removable drives and this bit from the Apple II FAQ came up:
Searches for this driver come up empty. Does anyone have a copy of it?
I have an Apple IIGS booting from a CompactFlash card in a PCMCIA-SCSI adaptor (Microtech PCD-25BH). Most of the time, It works OK. Every few minutes or so, however, it ejects the boot disk and all other cards in the adaptor!
I have to manually eject and reinsert them to get them to show up...
Nice to know that someone finally found that goddamn pinout. The way old-world mac monitor port sense lines work can make that sort of thing really difficult to beep out.
Fixed! I went and bought the iisi PDS version of the card, dumped it's ROM, and it turns out they are cross compatible! Pivoting works perfectly now, even under 7.5.5.
Here's my dump of the ROM: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8r41g8
Holding down the Shift key doesn't change anything. The Mac in question is a IIci running System 7.5.5.
The card DOES work correctly if I connect a regular monitor to it, which is strange. It's as if the Pivot's weird sense codes are confusing it.
I really think I need the later ROM at this...
It looks like you'll need to find someone with a working specimen of that display and the cable it came with, and ask him to beep it out for you. No idea if there's anyone here with the original B&W Pivot, but at least the card you have should be able to drive not only any Pivot display, but...
Suppose you have an accelerator with a less-than-stellar compatibility rate installed, and you want to play some games that die horribly on an 030. Is there any way of wiring up a switch to the PDS slot that disconnects a pin or two and disables the slot?
If what you have matches up with the photo of the Pivot card in terms of wire color coding and so forth, I say you should buzz it out. Especially if that Full Page Display card is color-capable.
I'm having a problem like this too. I have one SCA drive that jams the SCSI bus no matter what, and I have another that refuses to work if you plug in a terminator (the drives themselves have no termination options). I don't think either of these drives are broken (they spin up and so forth)...
There's a gigantic pile of IIsi Radius Pivot video cards on eBay right now that are missing the video connector breakout cable that goes from the card to the back panel.
Does anyone have this card, and can they figure out what the pinout for the cable is?
Also, is there a chance in hell of...
