Nice! So very good card then, for its intended target anyways.

Is that good? I’m used to the newer cards not the older stuff so I have no idea where that puts this card in the lineup. Ok let me see what I can do.

I can see the similarities, I wonder why they rescrambled the entire board layout though? Also not sure about the Delfi branding, I get a big splash screen with the Delfi logo when it powers up. What's the easiest way to dump the ROM? Do I need to pull it off the board and put it in a...

Ah ok!

I’m not sure which are the VRAM chips, but you should be able to zoom in and read any text you want in my photos they are a pretty good resolution. Let me know if you can’t and I’ll get a different one.

Some better pictures of this card for history sake. Also I just noticed this card has a block of switches by the video port. No idea what those do but I haven’t touched them. Any ideas on that?

I think a big part of that is rarity, I mean they are just so uncommon, even on yahoo the really don't come up very often. Might be that a youtuber has yet to actually get there hands on one.

lol I wonder how many things I've bought that way thinking surely someone would bid.....

Nice I'll have to try that, although after carefully reviewing the bug cards posted, I do think this might be one not previously documented it really doesn't seem to match any of the known cards.

Oh good eye I didn't even notice that before, but you are right it does say BUG and even Pickles on some of the chips. That's a good start!

Taking inspiration from the other thread like this. Has anyone found any more info on this card here? I can’t seem to find much about it online. Original specs or anything like that would be cool. Markings on the card are: Defi HFS HFVC-24. Works well in my Mac II, but no idea if it's...

This was it! When the cage was dropping down the little tab on the microswitches was not being depressed fully, I was able to tweak the little metal arm on the switch and I've now got one working drive and one complaining of disk initialization. So some huge progress, thanks for that tip, this...

That's a good suggestion, I'll check the switches and make sure the cage is full seating when it has a disk in. I"ll report back!

Well I just remembered I have a Floppy EMU somewhere and I dug it out and it works fine with the Mac II, so I guess I have two completely dead 800K drives, drat, any ideas on how to resurrect drives that do nothing? Not much about that online, mostly tips for cleaning and adjusting which isn't...

I'm trying to get a functional floppy in my Mac II and so far it's not working out very well, I have two 800k drives but neither one of them seems to do anything when I insert a floppy, no motor action of any kind just nothing. I'm not sure since I don't have any way of testing the 800k drives...

Nice! I will check that out.

Edit! I'm an idiot and did not have the control panel, in the control panel folder... Duh! Thanks to @Phipli for pointing out my error.

I'm not super familiar with these machines so I don't really know but I can't seem to enable the cache in the control panel, I can click it but after reboot it is unclicked, this is in a Mac II with the daystar adapter if that helps at all.

Alright finally found a cable that wasn't the same on both ends, I think I can adapter from there I'm going to try this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234800769776 and then use this to get back to DB25: https://www.ebay.com/itm/391809752041 Fingers crossed this works!
