Yes, i've done that without the colorswitch card connected to the IIgs. But I've never tried composite

I'm still struggling to get a gotek working with the replacement Transdrive board from Japan :( Has anyone made this work?

I've booted with no floppy disk connected. Yu won't get a signal out of the Apple's composite output. Do you mean a composite monitor connected to the PC Transporter card?

I've never tried composite output from it, only the rgb via color switch. Do you have a floppy drive configured and connected? You can get into the "BIOS" by doing shift+caps+caps I think? And reconfigure drives and such

Add a screen shot of what you end up seeing on your PC Transporter output? Does it say that MSDOSVOL is not a DOS Disk or something to that effect? If so, that's correct - the MSDOSVOL is just a small DOS volume that holds some utilities from Applied Engineering folks. I saw that...

Figured out my colorswitch problem!!! The wiring doesn't make sense based on colours, and it turns out that by reading the schematics here https://github.com/patdie421/pct-connectors-rebuild/tree/main/hardware/colorswitch/v0.3, and following a facebook post by Chris Satterfield in Apple II...

I ended up only able to fit the mostly empty 20mb dos "partition" (from the pct-connectors-rebuild github) onto my Alltech CF card's 2nd partition. But got it to boot! I'll try a bit longer with the color switch and floppy stuff, and see if I can get anywhere further. Then, it's all for sale!

So no matter what I do, i can't get 720K 3.5" drive emulation to work via Gotek and the nanja.info adapter. How did you get this working? Meanwhile, any chance you have a MSDOSVOL type "hard-file" that is bootable and functional so I can test with? So far, i can get this thing to pass all its...

Progress! Switcher doesn't work, but video output does! Got to figure out how to configure stuff now. The TEST feature says it's going to erase the card. What do s this mean, any concern?

Unfortunately, even after chip replacement and proper wiring harness, i still get no IIgs video output via the colorswitch. I'm going to hook up two monitors in parallel and see if i can get PC Transporter signs-of-life or not. Have to figure out how to get software into this machine, which is...

Confirmed. I plugged a IIgs video cable into the back of a IIgs, and then measured pins 1, 6, 13, and the shield, and they all have continuity to each-other, so are all a common ground. I'll wire up my DA15 (?) the same way.

@micheledipaola do you know the pin mappings from the colorswitch board to DB15 connector? I'm *guessing* it is: ColorSwitchDB15 Black (Ground)Pin 1 Blue (Blue signal)Pin 9 Green (Green signal)Pin 5 Red (Red Signal)Pin 2 Brown (CSYNC)Pin 3 Mine is a Rev.E, no ZIP memory, not...

Awesome possum! Now I can start cross checking stuff. My color switch card does nothing when connected, so I just threw a few bucks at it and replac d these parts... Let's see.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me! Yeah, eBay in USA occasionally has Sonnet CPUs at $399 (from Japan, subject to import duties now), so it's just painful. :( Interested in anything cube friendly (which already has an updated VRM). Or alternatively send you my existing CPU board for upgrade...

@herd do you have a sales listing or do you build to order? I have a g4 cube and want to upgrade. I already have an updated VRM module. I may want to dual boot MacOS X and MorphOS, not sure if that intersects or not for compatibility. Sorry to stomp on another thread, but seems related
