    Custom 68K IDE with CodeLite, Retro68 and pce-macplus

    Hi, With some time recently, I explored how the PCE/macplus emulator https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/pce_macplus can be used with CodeLite and Retro68 (https://github.com/autc04/Retro68) to form a very good development  environment for 68k Mac apps.  I have written an article here...

    Dove Fastnet SE Extension\Software

    Did you ever find the driver for this card? I also have the same card and couldn't find the driver. See my thread here https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54757-driver-for-dove-fastnet-se-nic/

    Driver for Dove FastNET SE NIC

    Hi, I have a Macintosh SE with a Dove FastNET SE NIC card installed but couldn't find the driver for it anywhere. This is what I've gathered about this card:  1. The card was manufactured by Dove Computer Corporation (https://fccid.io/HY7) whose main business is network/telecommunication...

    troubleshooting PowerBook LCD backlight issues

    The 190cs only has this problem when it boots from the hard drive. It does not exhibit the issues when booting from the floppy disk. And the problem always happens shortly after the "Welcome to Macintosh" text is displayed (backlight is turned off, making it very hard to see the screen)...

    troubleshooting PowerBook LCD backlight issues

    It could be caps on the 165. However I am reluctant to open it, since the cable between the LCD and the motherboard is 'almost' broken and I do not want to risk ruining it. For the 190cs, I doubt so. I checked the inverter board and it looks very clean, almost like the day it left the factory...

    troubleshooting PowerBook LCD backlight issues

    Hi, I have a Powerbook 190cs and a Powerbook 165 that are having weird backlight issues. On both laptops, upon power on, the backlight will lit up for a while (5-10 seconds), then turns off. With this, I can still use the 165 since the screen is B&W, whereas the 190cs with color screen is...

    troubleshooting SE/30 motherboard

    I tried shimming with no effects. I realize that if it's going to work, just a standard socket insertion would do and no additional press/shimming is required on the module. If it's not going to work, shimming isn't going to help either. Anyway the board failed on me again today (horizontal...

    troubleshooting SE/30 motherboard

    I still think it's got to do with the RAM modules, or the circuits surrounding them. I did run a thorough test on all of the 16MB SIMMs using the SIMCHECK II RAM tester, and all tested good, which is expected since they are new. I suspect one or more of the 74F253 multiplexers are dying and...

    troubleshooting SE/30 motherboard

    The SE/30 works fine again with the stock ROM after a second wash of the logic board. I leave it running for the whole day today with no weird behaviour observed. Strangely it still doesn't work with BMOW Mac-rominator II (chime of death upon power on). I will have to investigate this on another...

    troubleshooting SE/30 motherboard

    The shrinking display is a different story - I will check the analog board on another day. The 6 or 7 socketed chips above the 8 RAM slots get hot together, so the shorts must be something common to all of them. I have tried to power the on with each individual chip connected and others...

    troubleshooting SE/30 motherboard

    Hi, I recapped 2 SE/30 around 2 months ago. One of them still works fine, while the other has developed some weird problems. First, I notice that during operation, the PAL and video chips above the 8 SIMM memory slots are very hot, to the point of burning my hands. Secondly, the machine works...

    PCE/macplus emulator

    Correction: any Quickdraw functions that are declared as ONEWORDINLINE should work fine. Other functions may result in a linker error if used.

    PCE/macplus emulator

    Unfortunately I tried and Quickdraw functions are not supported. The author did not migrate the Quickdraw .o files in the MPW disks to be compatible with GCC. That said, most other applications should compile fine with only some minor modifications.  I also wrote a review of Retro68 and share...
