Don't mean to resurrect from the dead, but the ArcaneByte emulator (repackaged/form-factored cameo/aphid adapter) is indeed EOS due to the PocketBeagle itself being EOL. There is or will be a PocketBeagle 2, but AFAIK it's not a direct replacement. I always want to point out that it's Tom's...

Fond memories of downloading these beta and golden master releases from IRC back in the day. IRCle and XDCC FTW!

Hello all, Recently picked up a Macintosh II (Rev A, I think) and am attempting to get it setup with System 7.1 Pro. I had success installed 7.1 on a MacSD scsi emulator, but over the last week I've experienced some oddities with relation to SCSI, specifically "locking up" during writes. At...

I have two Sun Rem RAM boards, and one has RAM errors while the other one seems to work fine. I'll have to pull both out and try them in my 2/5 to see if it's an Error 45 like you've got or something else entirely. Been a few years since I paid attention to it.

For the 2/5 and 2/10, the I/O, CPU and main motherboards are all reproduced (w/ improvements) and sold by Sapient Technologies (via VintageMicros, usually). There have also been efforts to reproduce some of the boards, including memory cards, and whose KiCad files can be found on GitHub. The...

There's an app on the iPhone called "DSLR Camera" that allows you to change the shutter speed to match the refresh rate of the Lisa monitor and capture images with little to no banding. I can't recall the speed offhand, so you'll have to play with it. Didn't realize you figured out how to...

You can make one pretty easily with two DB25 connectors and the color cable of your choosing, but a crimper comes in handy here. Unless you plan on sending that cable back, just remove Pin 7 from the cable or cut it out. I find needle nose pliers work well enough to bend the pin, or some small...

Thanks for the update. My battery case does not seem interested in being opened, and rather than destroy the battery permanently, I've decided to just run on AC whenever the machine comes out to play.

It is with a heavy heart that I share our friend and mentor, Ray Arachelian (sunder), passed away this week after a hard-fought battle with cancer at the age of 51. Ray was a member of 68kmla for over fifteen years and is well known within the hobby as the creator of LisaEm – “The First Fully...

Currently researching what it will take to rebuild both the main battery and the PRAM battery in my Wallstreet PDQ/300. I've got a good feel for the PRAM battery rebuild, since the removal is documented on iFixIt and the VL batteries are still around. I'm a little more worried by the main...

FWIW, EETools recently added the TBP28L22N to its list of supported ROMs after I sacrificed a few for another project I was working on. So, if you can find someone with a TopMax you should be good to go. I have some blanks if you have the image. Feel free to PM me. 

I appreciate the tips! Upgrade to commence shortly.

Don't mean to hijack, but curious to know the details of your SSD drive(s). My TAM doesn't seem to like this mSATA/IDE adapter combo I'm workin' with.

Appreciate the update. I'd rather do away with the Mac-in-the-middle, but I'm also trying to use some powerline-ethernet adapters that may be giving me grief. 

Well, not sure what to say here other than installing 8.6 seemed to help things considerably. Currently using a switch capable of 10Mbit and another Mac with Internet Sharing enabled, as I could not get DHCP to work. Regardless, things are in a good place now, and AppleShare via home NAS works...
