Thanks for everyone’s help and knowledge! I’m kind of a preservationist and I would like to not modify this if it has historical value. But I’ve been researching plastics and preservation for other historical computing projects and I will remove the tape because I see it as having more potential...

Hmm. And the bolt was added to mount some kind of sensor or emitter for the testing! That would make sense. And then the tape was to… not sure what the tape would be for. It had a piece of translucent plastic taped in an arch over one of the openings. That’s what made me think light was supposed...

Really?! Wow. It really looks like a hilarious RadioShack Special. I swore that these motherboards had the switch mounted on the PCB itself. But I did notice that the plastic clip it’s mounted to looks very original and matches the other motherboard PCB clips. I figured the Tape Applier just...

The tape is very dried. I use very similar tape in other projects and I’d say this was probably applied at least a few years ago, but not like “in 1998”. Pulling up the tape, where the dried adhesive stays attached to the case, it is a very slightly gummy but crumbly powder that easily removes...

Hi! I recently picked up an empty Beige G3 Tower that is odd in two ways. First, and probably less interesting, is that all the openings have been covered with gaffer’s tape. Additionally, the power button has been rigged to just a simple off the shelf red push button. There’s also a clearly...

I just spent some time looking at diffs between the adb subsystem - there are definitely changes though its hard to point at anything specific. The ADB hardware of the Mac IIsi is specifically called out as a separate architecture to support in both versions. A vast majority of the changes in...

http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-1.4/LAST_MINUTE Mentions http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-1.4/CHANGES Mentions Those are the only two things that stand out to me.

I just checked versions 1.4 GENERICSBC 1.4.1 GENERICSBC 1.4.2 INSTALLSBC 1.4.3 INSTALLSBC 1.5.3 INSTALLSBC And the keyboard (adapter) doesn't seem to work with any of them. What's kind of amazing to me now is that somehow I picked the exact last version that works. I suppose the next step...

Also, I should mention I'm using RaSCSI to emulate two HDDs (and occasionally a CDROM drive). It too is booted and stable by this time (and worked fine using NetBSD 1.3.3).

They appear to be about the same. Also, I'm booting NetBSD from MacOS, so the Arduino is booted and running (and working in MacOS) before NetBSD starts.

v1.6.2 has the same issues as 6.1.2, 9.1, and latest-20201228.

And I had to double check in case I had gone crazy - here is a screen shot of the same machine but using the install-GENERICSBC.gz image from NetBSD 1.3.3. Note that it says Then I showed the keyboard working down where it's asking for a root fs device. Also note all the ncr5380 messages that...

First, here's the info on the adapter I'm using: https://github.com/Difegue/Chaotic-Realm/tree/master/adbduino I built that with an Arduino and I'm using that sketch unmodified. At least, as far as I can tell. It has been a while. :huh: I downloaded the 9.1 and latest-20201228 .gz...

I finally got some time to revisit this project. I upgraded MacOS to the full 7.5.3 version and grabbed the NetBSD 6.1.2 ISO (it is the most recent available here). After partitioning up a drive, the installer hangs at selecting the terminal type. It seems that my keyboard is not detected...

After getting my MacCon network card working great in MacOS 7, I went on to tackle other OS's. I have an installation of NetBSD 1.3.3 that boots and seemed stable back before I got the ethernet card working. Now that I have the card working, it kernel panics after a bit. Q1: Does anyone know...
