I would say also the video cable is different... If you have the ColorSwitch daughter board, usually there is a male cable from the card to the IIGS video port, and then a second port on the daughter card to plug the screen to. I have never seen this female db15 cable solution. The docs I...

Hey I am arriving late at the party (as usual...) but... I am super interested in this! Can you tell more? batteries specs, what did you solder and to what, what else was needed (3d printed spacers?) ...

@Roberto I confirm desoldering gun (this was most of the help I got) did the trick. And low profile sockets for sure in a IIc!

Hopefully piggybacking the RAM chips will identify the wrong one for sure. Then what are you planning to do? I had the same problem, and I personally went a bit further: with some help, I desoldered all original RAM chips, soldered sockets and installed new RAM on sockets... so it is fixed...

Back home and reading the messages on a wider screen I just figured out that your message @nottomhanks was not for me :D my ROM is 1.1.1 as shown in the pics I posted years ago... If anyone else ( @mousehouse ?) is able to dump the content of a 1.1.2 ROM , that will be useful for me too, I guess!

Hey, I am on holiday until the end of next week. Then once home I guess it’s finally time to unpack that eprom reader/writer and see how it works…

Found a simple way to prepare disk images for the usb drive to plug in the Gotek: Using WinImage (on Parallels with my Mac) you simply drag and drop in the window the DOS files inside the zipped directories which many abandonware files will give you as "disk images". Then you can save them as...

Yes I understand that hardware-wise it would be impossible to introduce such an improvement with the actual card... but maybe with the knowledge you gathered about its signals and communication, maybe someone could come up with some complementary module / PCB / Pico / whatever, doing the job? I...

@LaPorta please could you check if the images are preserved online somewhere already? otherwise... it would be great to upload them ;)

This is great news! Please post article's links here in this thread too @Arbee once published - what you mentioned is far beyond my skills so I cannot offer to contribute, but if any kind of beta testing or similar should be needed, I would be glad to help. Meanwhile... can I start dreaming...

Well the PC Transporter is obviously a device designed back then, and so relying on hardware and components available at that time, while the ESP32 if I understand correctly is based on new technologies (Raspberry Pico, wifi...) . Anyway it could be that using the ESP32 card PC emulation layer...

Also, I may have figured out what's happening with the APLCLOCK util : it seems to have "millennium" problems, so it is not able to sync correctly with the system date, while it reads the system time with no problem. I wonder if the GSOS patches to fix millennium dates are somehow causing this...

Success! With this TransDrive adapter, I was able to read MSDOS disk images from a usb thumbdrive connected to a Gotek, using FlashFloppy firmware ( https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy ). Once I connected the Gotek to the TransDrive adapter and the adapter to the card, The PC Transporter setup...

Summer is coming again, and so is a bit more free time to fiddle with my machines... so I am back to this thread to add some more experiences with external drives; first of all, I scored an Applied Engineering Transdrive unit - 5.25 drive only. This is the original AE external drive meant to be...

My SE/30 is looking forward to it :D amazing work @Bolle

Hi @Classicman sorry for necroing this thread but... I can't find anywhere any info about the PSU for the Sonic Systems microSCSI. I am assuming 5v but... which polarity? can you check yours and please let me know? thank you so much.

Hey @twelvetone12 sorry I lost track of time... but if you need to test some prototype, next time you are headed to Bologna just give me a sign and we can arrange a meeting with me and my Portable :)

Hi, I had a couple Jaz external drives (the green ones, 1 GB cartidge capacity) that I plugged in my Iici alternately, to play around and test them. The original PSU was included with one of them, so I could power up both, to discover that one was somehow faulty while accessing the cartridge...

aaaand it works! This was the perfect achievement for this last day of #Marchintosh 2024! Totally zapped the SD card, went for a fresh install of 7.1 (thanks @Bolle for the hint), then first tried with the standard rom and Mode32 extension: everything worked (including ethernet which got me on...

So one month and so many attempts later, it really seems to be a ROMsimm compatibility issue... I tried two and both gave the same results, while original rom worked through the boot until the desktop with the control installed - at least on 7.01. With 7.5.3 I am still getting bus errors so I...
