Have you tried booting with the floppy drive (and Disk ][ interface card) disconnected? Also, does the floppy drive zero when you boot it (sounds like 5 or so clicks), or just spin?

On floppy, here ya go: http://inside.mines.edu/~jrosenth/random/mactv.tar.xz Not going to guarantee it'll be at that address forever, someone might want to mirror this at some point.

Thanks a bunch!

I presume that one of those would happen to be video card compatible with the 5150? Looking for one...

Pretty sure this was a PDF file that came with some version of MPW (described using ResEdit & MPW in harmony in a good build system), but for whatever reason, I cannot seem to find it on any of my copies. Anyone got it?

I was eyeing that CL post for a long time... never jumped on it because the prices were a lot of $$$. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of a deal did you get?

Mind sharing? Got an idea I want to hack on sometime...

An FPGA board may be a better candidate than an Raspberry Pi for this; give you some programmable logic to interface with the hardware, then you can translate that at a software level to ethernet. On such a board, there may even be a chance you could throw out video out all using the FPGA chip...

If you're looking for something particularly exotic, Mac OS X Server 1.0 will run on that model I think (you have to fool the installer by going into the configuration menu). Plus, you can run 8.5 on there as well using Mac OS.app.

Yeah... I was lucky to only have one release fumes. I was in a well-ventilated area, so was not a big issue.

Used a hot air rework station to recap a Classic II this morning... highly recommend for future recaps! I had all the caps off in less than a couple of minutes, no need to worry about lifting pads. They came off like butter.

CD drive works fine... I guess I will have to plug into a monitor and see.

Left my fully working PowerBook G3 Wallstreet running and on the charger when I went to a meeting. I had recently replaced the display on this thing. When I had returned, the display backlight (or inverter board... or whatever) gave out, and the LCD showed the OS still running (very faintly)...

Yep, you can run ZTerm on both 68k and PPC. I run Mutt on Linux, but I'm fairly certain it will run on Mac OS X as well. No idea on Windows... USB serial ports do wonders...

I can send and recieve email on my macs using ZTerm and a serial line to my desktop computer running mutt... yes, it's cheating. Many of the older mac email clients lack security features like SMTP authenticaion, SSL, and (the deal breaker for me) PGP. So I'm OK with cheating.

Their site seems to be serving up the CGI script itself (yes, the source code) right now rather than running it...

Yep, it's a Maxell.

I saw your post... always sad when this stuff happens.

Another "conquest" arrived... this one is not for the faint of heart. Poor SE/30 :( This was the first computer I had to give a bath before I could open it, the top screw holes were completely filled with corrosion. The logic board... The villan... After a little bit of...

Me too!
