I've often wondered if it would be possible to replace the PRAM with one of those flash-overlaid RAM chips that save their contents to flash on power-down. Unfortunately I think the PRAM chip is a custom part.

It's a long shot, but try changing the order of the SIMMs. Those are the long thin cards that rise up from the logic board, and there should be some kind of clips holding them in place. Release the clips and slide the card out. Take them all out and put them back in a different order. That will...

Have you thought of posting it on github? You're likely to get a lot more contributors that way (and those who do make changes are more likely to give them back to you).

I can confirm that it is only the Lounge (and perhaps one or two other forums from the "Community Collections" category) that is private. I have browsed this part of the forum many times as a guest. Also as far as I know, a surprising amount of antivirus programs still detect old Macintosh...

Yeah, I know.

Yeah but I still don't have the disks.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get round to posting this but about a week ago a friend of mine was trashing an old PC and I went round to his place and took all the bits that I wanted. Most interesting was an internal IDE Zip 250. I don't have the disks for this thing and it's not really a Mac...

Don't know why we can't just post the link here, but PM sent anyway. Also, it's OOM, not O1M.

Found the archive - PM sent.

I actually did find an archive of old viruses somewhere, but I can't seem to find it now...

Just don't open the thing and then find out that you don't have the right system to run it on... then you'll be sad.

Seriously that disk looks beautiful. I'd try to do as Unknown_K suggested and try to get another (or an image) if you are interested in trying it out. However if it turns out that you are unable to get another one given a reasonable length of time, and there are no locatable images of the disk...

I wasn't sure which was "the source code" file for the CPLD, otherwise I would have probably found what you are referring to. But I did find the information that I needed in the documents provided by one of the previous posters. I was using a microcontroller to implement the floppy drive...

So? I want something that: -uses real floppy disks and and old PC drive that I had lying around -doesn't cost 89$ -can be built using parts from my existing electronics collection

Actually I think that document gave me what I was looking for.
