Some little update, while still waiting for the TransDrive card. First of all, you may want to watch the official PC Transporter install video, distributed on a VHS (!) together with the card and now available on Youtube: The same user has a video showcasing how to install Windows 3 on a...

Hi, unfortunately no FDHD controller here... but as I wrote, a TransDrive daughter card coming soon. the colorSwitch output seems to work, but the IIGS video-out processing / switching seems not to... I will need to look into that more. Meanwhile I tried with two different output cables in...

I confirm that the screen connection seems to be the biggest issue - as usual with the IIGS. As I wrote in previous posts, the connection cable between IIGS video-out and PCT ColorSwitch daughter card seems not to work - so I had to connect the two video ports to two different cables - and two...

So far: I connected an Apple 3.5" drive to the card I think the short cable to connect the IIGS video-out to the ColorSwitch daughter card has some issue, because I can't see anything once the card kicks in, so I am trying to connect two separate monitors, one to the IIGS video card (for...

I wish I had one to test it... but if you do, please share your experience :D

Just FYI, I created a specific thread in the Apple II section, where I am going to describe the process of setting up a PC Transporter card in my ROM03 Apple IIGS. The thread is here and in the main post I linked here as well...

Hi everybody, I just made it to acquire the holy Grail of 16 years old me, the Applied Engineering (AE) PC Transporter card for PC compatibility on Apple IIe / IIGS. The card I got seems to be a rev. D, looking like this: I am setting it up in a ROM03 IIGS, and it's a learning process that I...

I think the one in the pics IS an mSATA SSD, plus adapter card to IDE 2.5", plus adapter board to IDE 3.5" and mounted on an adapter sleed.

I used exactly the same components for an SSD upgrade of a 1.25Ghz iMac G4 (sunflower / iLamp) . I got stuck with white screen at boot, and after some panic, it seems I solved putting a slave/master jumper on one of the two spare pin couples besides the 2.5 IDE plug of the adapter card. Someone...

I was lucky enough to score a whole Apple II graphics tablet set (card + tablet + pen) and I already have a spare tablet alone. All manuals and docs are available online, so I really hope this will be a nice way to spend some fun time on my Apple IIe or IIeuroplus. I also have a couple of...

I tried a few of these boxes, and they did not really work for me... I will give it another try, maybe now building my own cable like @magnusfalkirk and providing audio signals to the monitor too.

@AEChadwick that's insanely great :D Now I am curious about the next improvements! After this, if someone definitely better than me at it would ever find a way to use a phone power bank and the other needed components to replace the internal PSU (IIc+) or internal transformer (IIc) we could...

If I should write a user's wish list, underlining the wish part :D and not knowing a thing about hardware limitations, I think it would be: turning on/off RAM test accessing advanced system diagnostics (checking batteries / psu too?) getting a (customizable / nvram?) ROM disk / boot like in...

changing a jumper is what you do on other machines (Iici for instance) to switch to the romSimm, so nothing terrible. I am surely unable to do something like you are mentioning @SuperSVGA but did someone started some similar project? because I would say that would be an awesome one... :D

totally Portable-noob question, related to the memory expansion: since it takes so long to wait until the RAM test on boot is completed, would not be possible to create something like a ROMinator for the Portable? would it even make sense? I mean, there is a ROM slot, and I am aware of ROM cards...

Thanks @LaPorta , I even managed to find a reseller in Europe with direct online shops in Italy (!), Spain, France and UK so I am putting the link here for reference, as I know that it's always a bit more complicated for us this side of the pond :D...

No boot ended up in power off - but anyway I had made a "flying" connection of the battery with simple alligator clips for testing... now I made proper connection cables with faston clips and everything seems ok: it boots without power cable even with blueScsi, it gets to the desktop and the...

You are totally right, it's Ah :D My question stands anyway: I have a new 6V 5Ah sealed lead battery now in my Portable, and it anyway doesn't seem to supply enough power for the boot, even with a blueScsi instead of the original spinner HD. I tested the Portable (with the battery in, and the...

I am reviving my Portable these days, and I am super intrigued by this thread. I guess these cards are kinda rare, aren't they? Also, what about the video-out plug on the back of the Portable? did anyone ever figure out how to use it? It seems quite strange to me that someone would build...

While we keep finger crossed for our Portable wizards @techknight and @androda developements, having a Maceffects 8mb card myself I can confirm it also works in a backlit BUT (as their website states very clearly) you need to set a jumper on the card to make it acknowledge the different model...
