About every 6 months or so I'll search the web again, because I'm curious too. It's most likely a 25-ish page thing or less with a summary of Inside AppleTalk, Second Edition. That information is mildly interesting but doesn't go over the stuff a Phase 2 spec document would. An example of one...

It has the 12-pin connector, and has the Gambler ASIC chip in the upper right, so it most likely is the Color 30HR with the higher resolution options, but you may have to double check that. CRT neck boards are manufactured, but in low numbers.

I believe someone on Macintosh Garden said something to the effect that you can check if a disc should be bootable or not. Open the disc image with a hex editor or advanced text editor, like Notepad++. Hex editor would be better though. Check the first two bytes of the file: if it says ER you...

Updating: My oh my that disc doesn't want to be mounted on any platform. The .bin/.cue thing didn't work, the .iso wouldn't mount, not in QEMU, not in Basilisk II, not with Toast. Ended up working as a BlueSCSI on a real machine.

For anybody searching: To convert a disc image, made from a .BIN and .CUE files, one way to convert it into an .ISO image on Windows is the following: Download this software. https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/releases Pull up the Command Prompt. Navigate to your download folder where you...

The Portable can also support 3 floppy drives, but the special case assembly(ies) to make it possible are fabulously rare. Apparently there was some bloke in Germany that may or may not have had one. AFAIK, you could have ordered a SE/30 without a hard drive.

Well I'm glad I posted a query for this. :) Nice find there superpete. I've dug through a handful of developer CDs and other CDs from the time but haven't found this one. Downloading and checking out immediately. I wonder if we could disassemble the HD20 INIT and see how it varies from the...

I just use some ViewSonic Macintosh video -> VGA adapter thingy. I don't have a sync separator or anything else fancy. Aside from the IIsi leaving shop, nothing else has changed besides some settings. I've used it with a IIfx, IIci, IIvx, IIsi, Quadra 700, Quadra 650, Quadra 610 and PM Server...

8 months later... Digging around Apple CDs looking for goodies, I found InstallerSpy on the AppleLink beta10 disc. It only works for Installer 3.1 to 3.3 scripts, and is a script decomplier. There's a lot of dirty laundry being shuffled around Apple in those days, and the Installer affair...

Although a different topic, perhaps about time we revisit this issue. https://savagetaylor.com/TIL/TA44724.html This originated out of this post. I'm going to hunt around some more.

Please fax the cover sheet to this message if you would please. If you would be also be so kind as to mail me the film negatives as well. P.S. Little Snitch was pretty great, kind of miss it.

The original IIci board is 4 layers deep? If so, I'm told the SE/30 is 8, which must have been expensive in the 80's.

I agree. The program does what it is supposed to do: take up a small amount of space and facilitate file transfers via two of the most common file transfer protocols: ASCII text for binhex files and XMODEM for binary files. Adding ZMODEM would be cute but you may as well write a whole 'nother...

Pretty sure that's just the clock rate, and using an higher rated clock SO-DIMM on a system with a slower clock rate won't cause any problems. PC100 and PC133 went through this phase back in the early 2000s.

I prefer the IIci over all the other Mac IIs and Quadras because it boots System 6, is reasonably fast, has built in color should that be needed and doesn't have many of the fancy gimmicks that the IIfx has which, realistically, most weren't even used fully. The compact form factor of the...

Fascinating dive on your part. Thanks for the quotes! Have you looked at FDDITalk?

I've been fortunate to handle an unused FDHD Upgrade, stickers and all. If you look in the Working with Disk Images section in the link below, you'll find it there.

I have a RasterOps display card. No problems. However you've got a good point. Compatibility and the Rocket are a rough pair.

You'll find that performance with a Rocket is subpar with built-in video. 8MB on the Rocket itself is ... meh. In your defense though, finding a decent video card these days is not easy. One, they're obscenely expensive, and two, most of them are not accelerated. The Rocket however, can...
