Well, I suppose here's a followup question then. Is there a list of Apple's peripherals with release dates, and possibly even end-of-life dates? I am especially interested in the latter day USB peripherals and LCD monitors, I've got a G4 and a G5 that I'm mostly focusing on here.
Has anyone put together a list of what keyboards/mice/displays/etc were "standard equipment" with each Macintosh? I'm finally making plans to give my systems proper permanent setups, and I think it would be more fun to have the original peripherals, or something like them, as opposed to a big...
Interested in seeing where this goes, this would make a fun (if slow) wifi card for my Mystic. When development is finished, do you plan on offering the boards for sale with the passives stuffed already, or in kit form?
I will point out that RaSCSI devices can act as a SCSI to wifi adapter, among their many other nifty tricks, but they do require a third party driver installation which can be done with the RaSCSI itself.
That being said, these are /extremely/ nifty and I'm very excited by them. Fine work!
I'm at work right now, so I can't check easily, but as I recall, I think I put 8.8.8.8 in the IP address field for the DNS, and left the domain blank. I believe this tells MacTCP to use 8.8.8.8 for all DNS lookups. I could be wrong though? Any MacTCP experts want to chime in here?
This threw me for a loop when I first tried to set it up also! The instructions I wound up following are as follows:
Found on the RaSCSI wiki. Update with how you get on with this info, we'll get you sorted out.
I would never have thought to look there! Wonderful. I'm at work now, but I ssh'ed back home and changed that flag from -nosavepasswd to -savepasswd and restarted netatalk, and I'll try it when I get back to the house. Thanks!
I have my Mystic CC running 7.6, booting off a RaSCSI volume. I'm also using the RaSCSI for both SCSI-Ethernet emulation, and netatalk AFP serving.
(side note: I absolutely, unequivocally love the RaSCSI product, and heartily recommend it. I was able to set up a Classic II to boot off of it...
Hey all, got my QS 2002 out for the weekend. Decided to put a SATA card and extra hard drive in it for more storage, when I discovered that it only had one hard drive tray installed, which was already occupied. Bummer.
Does anyone have a diagram or parts list with part numbers for all the...
Looking pretty good! Let us know how the keyboard ages.
Also, ooooh a Takky. Did you do the harness wiring and everything yourself, or buy it from someone? I have a Mystic and a 5500 that I'd like to one day put together, but it's a daunting task.
I would also be interested in a PCB and socket or whatever! Those eBay FPU cards are nice, but not $100 nice; I only paid $50 for the Classic II I have, haha.
As far as emulating spin up and seek sounds goes: it would be pretty low fidelity, but a small piezo buzzer would probably fit in there. Looks like there's plenty of info on how to wire one up to a spare GPIO pin and drive it from a Python script.
I would love to see this developed further. Is there any advantage to using the BBB platform in particular over a Pi, or is that just what was on your desk when you built it? I seem to remember that a Pi can run a UART over its GPIO pins, but I don't know much about it.
