That C4/5/8/9 combo reeks all sorts of havoc. I’ve recently restored a Classic II and both serial ports didn’t work due to broken traces and blown vias in this area.

Actually, the Console5 kit doesn't include any ceramics - as the quagmirerepair.com page might imply - they're all aluminum electrolytics of decent quality. [Though I'm certainly not a spokesman for Console5 .. see https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/a-mostly-successful-iisi-restoration.3912/...

Here's one list: https://quagmirerepair.com/replacement-capacitor-kit-for-sony-mp-f75w-11g-3-5-floppy-disk-drive.html?srsltid=AfmBOorrqI87XaeDQRt3tdpqK8dkrb9guE_Gsj2Qkx1zj35oHYFdqgHV I got a fairly economical set from Console5.com.

I ran into this panic trying to run Jaguar on a machine (PM7600) with a Sil3112 SATA-PCI card. I've successfully used a reflashed Sil3112 on various G3s running MacOS9, Tiger, etc. I was disappointed that the PM7600 failed. I can run various flavors of Linux and classic Mac on this hardware but...

I've just restored an IIsi and I've also noticed buzzing as the mouse moves. My ADB is connected through a switch (actually an S-video switch). Observations: When the keyboard/mouse is directly connected, there's no buzzing. There'ss no buzzing on my comparable machines - IIci, SE30, LCIII...

Oh, and: 6. 8390 registers are indexed in ascending (not reversed) order.

So, yes .. it is possible to get Glenn's driver to work with this card .. but it's tricky: The register base offset of 0x80000 is different. The memory base offset of 0x40000 is different. The board ID is 962 (0x3c2). The byte lane wiring is awkward so register space mapping is convoluted and...

I've now modified the NetBSD-9.3 ae driver (supporting Apple/Asante/Farallon/etc cards with 8390 NICs) to match this odd-ball Sonic card and communicate correctly. The RAM base offset is 0x40000 and the register base is 0x80000. The tough part was figuring out (by trial and error) the register...

I wondered too. And tried. Nope :( I am making some progress on the NetBSD front. I have a NetSBD9.3-based 8390 driver that reads and decodes the Declaration ROM, sizes the RAM, reads the MAC addr, but then gets confused .. I'm not sure I'm correctly configuring the register space.

Glen's driver fails to match my card. Doing some archeology, in the Linux kernel, I see: /* Known <Cat,Type,SW,HW> tuples: (according to TattleTech and Slots) ... * Sonic Systems Ethernet A-Series Card: <4,1,268,256> ... * Farallon ethernet card: <4,1,268,256> (identical to Sonic Systems...

268/256 by the look: I could try patching Glenn's driver to match this and see what happens.

I've confirmed that my PROM read is identical to the slotrom dump. @eharmon I've also used your ROM Fiend extensions to HexFiend to see that many of slotrom's debugging messages make sense.

@cheesestraws I'm now sure that this card is from the "Sonic Ethernet Series". Trawling MacWorld's from 92/93, I see a number of models for various Macs .. but no PDS versions for IIsi or SE/30 specifically. Does your card work on an SE/30, and if so using what driver? @halkyardo Thanks for...

I do have an SE/30 with a good Asante card installed. I'm reluctant to disturb it, though, since I'm not sure what can be learned that's not already known. Yup. TattleTach and friends all see the card and confirm it to be a Sonic. And 16Kb of device RAM is seen. Yet no installer I've yet found...

I've tried the driver from the Asante 5.1 release with System 7.1 but the card isn't seen. And standard Apple code should recognize MacCon anyway .. the MacCon in my SE/30 is.

I wasn't sure about reading the ROM directly from the host, so I pulled the chip. It turned out to be a DM74LS417N which is a 256byte TTL device that's far too ancient for my TL866ii+ to understand! So some fakery was required to approximate it to a familiar 1kb 2716: But I got a dump: So, as...

Tried another machine and got a good copy. Don't the love floppies:cautious: No driver match for the card found though.

That's an excellent site. I tried Sonic Systems EtherLAN 6.1 Drivers but no joy. And Sonic Systems EtherLAN 7.8 Drivers is sadly unusable: incomplete or corrupt.

Thanks. I haven't tried the Asante driver. I'll give it a (them) a go.

I've just successfully restored an IIsi (detailed discussion posted on TinkerDifferent) but the machine has an unidentified PDS ethernet adapter. The card isn't recognized by Apple network code or by NetBSD. Its vendor code is 0x0410 which might be Sonics Systems, Inc .. but I've found no driver...
