I recently acquired a Mac SE/30 from ebay. This was a seller refurbished unit that was advertised as having been retrobrighted, upgraded with an HD and recapped. I normally avoid buying seller refurbished items since I enjoy going through this process myself. However the unit was reasonably...

This is awesome. I will try and see how it works. Thanks

Yes, indeed the options in the general settings tab, especially one called something like "respond to short messages" (needs to be checked for the plus)

This is another packet capture while trying to ping 192.168.88.1 (having configured with mactcp and using macping)

I am having a closer look at it. In case you are interested please find attached the traffic generated by the asante bridge (filtered by its mac address) while the classic mac was actively querying for network shares. I think it may not be broadcasting after all...

By the way, does anyone know why packets from the asante bridge do not get forwarded over wifi? The bridge is supposed to convert localtalk to ethernet. My mikrotik access point is bridging ethernet to 802.11. Why wouldn't these packets get forwarded? I have seen through wireshark (wired...

Sorry, I hadn't seen your reply. I will capture the output and send it here. I am sure you will make more sense out of it

Are you the author of that blog? Nice work, I have read every single article and find it very informative. Regarding magicsd, it would be nice if it could be standardised somehow. Then it would make it easier for people to exchange images (same way as MacSD).

Most owners of zip 100 drives know how brittle the plastic becomes over time. You cannot even open the case without braking most of the holding clips. In the direction of preserving my two drives (one parallel and one scsi) I have begun to model a new case. Please note that my 3d modelling...

Do you mean that the HFS partitions mount on their own on your modern computer? At least for me on Mac OS Monterey or WIndows it doesn't happen. I believe HFS support was dropped sometime in Mac OS10. For me the easiest way to edit and transfer files over to my vintage mac (mac plus) is with...

Since I was running out of space, I created another version of MagicSD partitioned as 4 x 1gb partitions. I am uploading here in case someone finds it useful. Tip: Add vmac.rom and a mini vmac executable on the sd for a portable mac experience

Thanks for your answer. I hadn't realised you were on the forum. Let me know if I can help somehow. E.g. do some tests, some wireshark etc.

Hello, I would appreciate your input on getting this to work. I have purchased an asante microprint bridge and would like to use mini vmac to effortlessly transfer data. The way I understand it is that mini vmac (special build) speaks LToUDP, and the asante microprint speaks Ethetalk...

Hello all!, I am trying to combine macipgw (vm edition) with sfiera multitalk and mini vmac but I cannot establish communication. In multitalk I see packets from both minivmac and macipgw however no shares are shown on mini vmac. Has anyone tried something similar? Is this even possible? In...

Try to dd the contents of the image directly to sd card (or use balena etcher in windows, or disk tool on macos) and setup your scsi2sd as follows: setup only one scsi device start sector:0 sector size: 512 sector count: 20972765 (or more - it doesn't hurt) Most probably it will not be...

If your images are mountable in mini vmac, then you can use magicsd (you can find it in this forum) and use mini vmac to copy all contents (at file level) over to the sd card. It essentially formats the sd in a way that is usable with scsi2sd and at the same time can mount on mini vmac. While...

@bdurbrow If it is not too late, could you please reserve a board for me? Many thanks either way, Andrew

Aha ok, I get it now. Thanks for your time and effort.

Hi all, I am trying to build a model for 3d printing the plastic parts of iomega zip 100 drives that break very easily. I have found a 3DM file for the drive, which I plan to use it as the base, however I am unable to convert it to stl. Can someone help me convert it? Thanks

probably yes although I have personally only tried with the greaseweazle "direct connection" board with latest firmware
