@MrFahrenheit didn't at least one certain 68k system have two scsi buses that otherwise with the "incorrect" use of the lower version of supported system 7 would be seen as a single bus instead causing problem if one drive on each bus had the same id? (I think it was 7.6 as minimum that...

@Phipli have to agree with your first post here, i've read a mix of a few 650mb (been written onto to so many times i'm a bit surprised its dye is still reliable..) and handful of 700mb rewrites on a wide mismash of drives including performa-specific apple 2x scsi or an old dos nec's yamaha cdr...

I presume you have already tried the generic (plain or international one on top yeah) 8.5 from here? https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-85-851-update and just curious if do you not have a rewrite disc on hand? either way I would think that osx version might not be really a problem since...

I somewhat recall that the 9200 was one of these sort of card that was sold around a lot (and not just to retail at that) as not surprisingly it was basically 'as cheap as they could get it made out to' position in the radeon family tree at the time. And to confuse things further how about...

noticed this and even read the article on 404media itself too myself https://apple.slashdot.org/story/23/10/10/1546249/vintage-mac-community-begs-manufacturers-for-new-supply-of-rare-dongle-as-resellers-charge-250 and mm well to our own here ofc but being I'm not the kind to have a big room full...

well it is plausible to get quite high but nowwhere close to the 500ma limit yet if you have a keyboard, larger non-wallwart tablet, newer supraexpress adb modem, and the mouse all at once? in theory tho mind you, i'm not sure what the actual averaged total current draw for that would be

I may be wrong but I wonder if its somehow programmed to the clock cycle assuming that was possible within the apple programming world? I know there were many dos floppy (and even some disk ones too) action games that had the silly unhelpful habit of running like they had "gone to ludicrous...

was at relative's lake place so didn't exactly spent a lot of time looking it up initially, didn't think of that one of the two big chips won't be a processor of some sort sorry either way thanks to @Unknown_K too

I checked the archive copy of diamond's site for 1997, 1999, and even after a certain buyout in the 2000s but it doesn't seem like there is any reference to 'javelin' series, only either stealth video cards or hauppauge-rebranded (as the model # sounds too obvious on there) tv tuners, etc .. so...

@Phipli I won't be too surprised if its indeed for a 'dumb' label printer and the card is the one that actually controls it around. I recall quite some time ago wondering about the cheap 'lasermax' (I think that was the name it was) nubus cards on ebay and @Unknown_K mentioned about the...

the scsi/parallel hybrid drive does indeed have its own "autodetect" labelled blue iomega cable to specifically go with it and also I thought I'll quote this tidbit from @avadondragon below; The hybrid drive is known as the ZipPLUS and it has indeed been reported to be unstable. It is supposed...

thanks @GRudolf94 interesting history and i'm not too surprised that it would actually be a custom cpu given the particular history of lisp computers themselves and I don't think I have seen or heard of these older kind of decoupling bars till I saw this particular card now, I'm not exactly an...

just had to wonder what kind of processor these ran? (and I assume they're lga style too since it looks like one card had the original processor removed in favour of an upgrade daughtercard that has a bga variation mounted offside instead) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/364294457442 and if noone minds...

mm thanks cory, and you're right re target names. just had to wonder even then I do agree on that some of the nicknames were quite specific especially gazelle just simply being one board and two macs (and by the way the 7100 has funny codenames if you ask me..good thing they didn't run with...

after writing to defor I realized something I apparently hadn't thought about for quite a while.. did eg the 6300 board even have a serial name or not as so much compared to eg that the 6360 was an alchemy etc? (macinfo list only has names for either the 6100 or the 6360 utilized boards but not...

well the sun was already a little weak not long before supper (as far as the current temp workspace's location went) but I still managed to get these three good photos for now naturally after the last photo I then managed to unplug the board out (and left it dangling unplugged back into the...

ah ok, I wondered if the pink paint was something from factory or 'what were you thinking?' not. thanks for that

hmm I did wonder if the drives actually meant to come out without having to pull the power board itself too, thanks. will try have a look at that whenever I can get around to it later in the week on a side note I wonder whats with the previous owner(s) rapidly splashing pink paint onto much of...

so would the link I had found above be the correct one to try write through the imation superdisk to a hopefully good disk for to boot the macintosh classic to a basic desktop with? thanks (and @ymk if the drive and/or disk won't respond then at least i'll try the rom option instead and cheers)

well it took a while to finally actually take the T15 bit out of the mastercraft bin but hm apparently the previous owner had simply omitted putting the two deep torx's back (I was wondering why nothing was biting at all till I asked relative if there was a little flashlight around and mm sure...
