My feedback on this project: The photos and the list of caps is really helpful. Being able to know ahead of time what I need to order before sitting down at the bench and disassembling the machine helps a lot. The links to Mouser aluminum electrolytic caps was unexpected and a bit...

Thanks everyone! Cloud 7 0.5.4.cpt.hqx This includes tt's updated cloud image, centering-ish of © line, and a bug fix when connecting after a disk image had been mounted, unmounted, remount->sadness. FWIW, all of the image placement is handled in the resources. If you open up the control...

Just a random thought on the IIsi. Since most of us have amounts of memory that would have seemed crazy at the time these machines were introduced, the 1MB of onboard RAM isn't particularly significant. It also has the performance penalty of shared RBV access. The RBV interleaves memory...

Cloud 7 0.5.3.cpt.hqx New version. Changes are: - Renamed by popular demand - olePigeon's icon set - tt's graphic in the CP - opens the MacTCP driver on demand instead of during boot. This hopefully avoids problems on boot on systems that either don't have MacTCP/OT, or it hasn't loaded...

Icons here too would be great! I just kind of recycled the HTTP Disk icon. :)

Thanks! That looks awesome. I'll integrate it in this weekend. How's this for including your graphic, tt? I'll plan on integrating these graphics changes, maybe a couple other minor changes, and throw together a little release on Sunday if my weekend goes as planned.

A full set in ResEdit would be great! Also, good idea on the graphic in the CP, tt. That hadn't even occurred to me! I'll see what I can figure out there. Thanks again both of you, this is awesome.

Yeah, it's a work in progress, but a half gig in a 68k mac ain't bad. A larger RAM disk than stock HDD, and more available memory than the stock ROM allows isn't terrible.

Thanks mcdermd! This plus http://support.apple.com/kb/TA46376 helped me fix my 128k.

Very nice, I like them both tt and olePigeon. The current icon was whipped up by a friend that is way more graphically inclined than I. I'll see if I can figure out how to do the GUI magic to scale them down for the smaller icons and generate the icon masks and stuff. Thanks guys!

Yes it could. But it does not work now. I'm interested in this, partly due to having just acquired a pile of these old machines. I've also got several other things going right now, so if someone else wanted to jump on this, go for it! Some more investigation is necessary, but here's just off...

Um... What? I'm not sure what you mean by conversion PCB. AFAICT from the drawing above, you're talking about making a ROM SIMM that takes DIP sockets instead of PLCC? Or are you trying to get something that plugs into the DIP sockets on the logic board that you can also put the ROM SIMM on...

I've been having a heck of a time getting my hands on a 650 or 800. After several purchases that never materialized, I have paid for one that in theory was shipped 6 days ago. Only time will tell if it has actually shipped, and if it will ever arrive. Doug kindly sent me a couple simm sockets...

The djMEMC memory controller contains a DAFB variant. Which means the Q700, 900, 950, C/Q 610, 650, 800, 605, and Performa/LC variants thereof have basically the same video controller.

Going over my 68000 machines, I haven't found any with a socketed CPU, which AFAICT means the ide68 style interfaces won't really work "out of the box". One could probably rig up some kind of solution soldering on top of the existing CPU or (shudder) killy clip or some other hack, but not...

Hah. Thanks for that. The naivete of youthful optimism made me lol.

No appletalk here. Just RS232 and disk images.

Theoretical limits are about 2GB and most of my testing has been in the 5mb to 500mb range. You'll be much happier if you format the disk before using it over the serial link. Formatting works, it just takes a long time to touch every 512byte block over the serial link. Especially with larger...

Stemming from previous discussions I've got a pretty usable Serial Disk driver. It currently uses a program on a linux, osx, or other posixy type system to serve up disk images over the serial link. I've got several versions to work from System 7.6.1 (and probably later) all the way back to...
