How do the four pieces stick together and does it matter with respect to rigidity? I seem to remember the bezel was a structural part.

I know this is a necropost, but I have some relevant follow up info. I was looking at the SuperMarioProj source code and found a few interesting initialization routines related to a flash memory card (a 'Romulator') that goes in the RAM expansion slot of the Blackbird. I'd be curious to know if...

Great work!!

Great to see it up there.

Can’t be booted from seems like a bit of a serious issue?

I wonder if the 68040 requirement is artificial.

It's not as bad as you think - I've tacked down the chips with low temperature solder, so it requires only a little heat to lift them. The tricky part is getting good contact with all the pins in the ZIF socket on my T48, but contact cleaner helps. I'm still planning to make that adapter...

Are you having this wake from sleep problem? This is quite an old thread and our dear @jmacz has created an extension which has solved the issue https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/sd-aide-for-scsi-emulator-power-up-lock-up-issues.47822/ Not sure if it would work on the Portable, but maybe?

Same as the PB 500 series @frontein1 ! And I guess many other models. I don't fully understand why the ROM gets moved from 0000 0000 on first access, and in general why there are duplicate images of it.

65 megs is enough that skipping the memory test would be helpful.

I wonder what desktop ROM the 500 series is most closely related to. It’s 2MB, so would that be the AV Quadras?

After typing ROMDISK and pressing enter, I see the following flash up for a split second, then I crash with an illegal instruction.

I did a little investigation, and it looks like the backlight driver is not loaded when booting the custom ROM. I'm not sure if I understand the way the slots are assigned, but could assigning .ROMDISK to a different slot number (maybe something between 57 and 93) help here?

See my attached photos - the start of ROM disk code is visible in the memory dump. Your ROMDISK driver is also listed in bbraun's utility as well as Tattletech. So we are getting somewhere. I hesitate to tell you – lest I put you off the project – but you seem to have introduced a bug in the...

I had a 7600/132 once. I remember thinking at the time how rock solid stable it was, and now (thanks to you) I have a bit of context for that.
