There is a "zoomin" extension too, it accelerate windows opening. Another tip, set flash menu bar to 0 in general control panel

Yes without the proper roms and swim chip (1.4Mb floppy controller), you won't be able to use anything else than 400/800k floppies! But an original (non upgraded) mac II is quite rare and is much more valuable/collectible than any other later macs II, consider it ;)

With any other mac (Plus, SE...) HD20 support is buit in rom so it isn't an issue anymore. Probably one of the reasons I like the 512k so much, is the fact you have to load from a floppy before it swiches to the HD... It makes this mac unique :) For apple II I can't answer since I never owned...

Sadly, I doubt it will ever be possible... The 512k has one internal floppy port and one external. Even if it's able to boot from external floppy drive, I don't even know if the hd20 could be plugged into the internal connector (never tested). But that's not the main issue here. The problem is...

Every mac that owns a 20 pin internal floppy connector or a DB-19 external floppy connector can use it in floppy mode!!! That takes us to the mid/late nineties, so more than 10 years of mac existence ;)

But this leave a lot of models out! Mac II, IIx, SE/30, IIcx, IIfx All powerbooks (except my 100) LC III, 475, 630, color classic All quadras/centris All powermacs...

Like how you play with words... ;) To extend, a LC I can use this mode if you plug the emu in the left connector, a LCII works if you solder a wire on the SWIM to enable 2nd drive, even a powerbook 100 with custom HDI-20 cable works :D

Every mac between 1984 and 1996 at least can use Floppy mode, but for HD20 mode only 512k, plus, SE, Classic, Portable, IIci and IIsi are able to ;)

Yes but remember only a few mac models can use HD20 mode ;)

Mount your 12Mb image on your modern computer and look if any of the files would fit on a 1.4Mb floppy. If it is the case, make as many "writable" 1.4Mb floppy images as needed, and then convert them to DC42 format ;) If one or more files are bigger, try to compress or split them with...

More seriously, here is a pic of closeview running, maybe there's a way to get rid of this stupid rectangle using resedit? Edit: Just looked inside the file with resedit, doesn't seem to be any easy way to get rid of it... Maybe a "software" guy mastering macbugs could try?

Maybe easier to find a software init which does that... Closeview maybe? I remember of one funny init when I was young, "1st April" which inverted all the letters in the words on the screen lol. The menu bar for example: ELIF TIDE WEIV LAICEPS :) MiniVmac screenshot:

The way I make use of these big images, is via FTP protocol from my PC (server) to my 540c (client), then I can mount them on the desktop ;)

13700k!!!! This isn't a standard floppy image (400k, 800k or 1440k) this is why you can't convert it to DC42 format and also why your emu can't use it since it's waiting for floppy images  :)

Yes but even the case is in very poor condition ;)

A long time ago I was given from one of my brother's friends an outbound notebook (with plus roms and 4mb of ram) but it threwed it away in the late nineties... sadly!! First  the screen hinge got loose and I had to fix it with a string... one year later the power adapter gived up, followed by...

It is the 1Mb card, with 32 "256 kbits" chips, as many as on the logic board ;)

First thing to do: replace all those old leaking smd caps!!!!!!! For the battery, even if any 6v "lead acid" will do the job, this one fits the battery case perfectly:

I agree with that, but even if I can consider people who spend more than $1000 for a real and rare apple product (Lisa, mac 128k...), I doubt these card will get more value in time (and they don't actually mark as much anyway!), especially if someone one day makes a "clone"... But there are...

I already own a SE/30 with a video card inside, the card works well for driving external monitors (640*480 up to 256 colors) but lacks the internal greyscale feature (As far as I remember I only paid $50 for the mac and the card). Many years ago I was looking on Xceed with greyscale adapter (and...
