This is awesome. Should sell these as a kit or something.Soon… I’ll have it tested one of these days.
Thank you, appreciate the tips!The ones I've seen the most are the Novy Systems or Total Systems ones, they tend to be already installed in machines and sometimes pop up on eBay. But you have to have saved searches and be persistent - you will find one, it will just take time.
You're making a Plus accelerator??Soon… I’ll have it tested one of these days.
Some of us have better luck than Action Retro with the Gemstart drivers. There is something more going on in his video but there wasn't enough information shown.im probably wrong but don't those micromac Plus/SE boards have driver issues or something with respect to reliability?
I haven't seen action retros video, its not really the kinda stuff I watch on YouTube. a friend of mine had one of these a few years back for his SE I seem to remember him mentioning there were some issues. like I said last post though im probably wrong, in fact you mentioning about the different versions of system 6-7, makes me think it was a driver/init problem for action retro...Some of us have better luck than Action Retro with the Gemstart drivers.

First things first, most of the drivers say up to 7.0.1 and he was running 7.1. Also there are drivers for 6 and drivers for 7... and other things. I don't know what he has tried.
Ah sorry, it sounded like you were repeating his experience. He released a Plus accelerator video two days ago.I haven't seen action retros video, its not really the kinda stuff I watch on YouTube. a friend of mine had one of these a few years back for his SE I seem to remember him mentioning there were some issues. like I said last post though im probably wrong, in fact you mentioning about the different versions of system 6-7, makes me think it was a driver/init problem for action retro...
no need to be sorry, I did just watch his video actually as I got curious. and I agree there's most likely something else going on with his Mac and that accelerator being used together, the scsi booting issues he had would probably have me looking at the scsi controller and related circuitry along with looking for other drivers to try on the software side of things...Ah sorry, it sounded like you were repeating his experience.

holy crap!Soon… I’ll have it tested one of these days.
I think it was the BlueSCSI I was using, since it did boot from floppy nicely.Some of us have better luck than Action Retro with the Gemstart drivers. There is something more going on in his video but there wasn't enough information shown.

Did you try the System Folder from the floppy copied onto the bluescsi? Guessing you did.I think it was the BlueSCSI I was using, since it did boot from floppy nicely.
Tempted to separately clock a 50MHz 68882 Bolle?Confirmed to work in the SE... I'll have to dig out the Plus to test it in there as well.
