Ok I have got to try this.

My 7500 is my main bridge machine. It has a USB and Firewire card which helps, plus ethernet, serial, etc., floppy drive, SCSI... for the most part it's all I really need, if I truly need to use a bridge machine.

I'm not counting on booting from HFS, hence why I'm wondering if the SCSI of that partition is messing things up. Perhaps if it finds a ProDOS one first it would be happier. Thanks for the information though, I really appreciate it.

This is really interesting. I have gotten a BlueSCSI working great (not booting from it), but ZuluSCSI I have never gotten working (I'm emailing with them, and I have every reason to believe we'll get it sorted). How are you able to boot from the Apple SCSI card? Also, my card is the GGLabs...

I doubt I'll ever stumble on one of these for myself, but I love seeing them! My "normal" IIgs I boot from a microdrive in slot 7, so I often put my SCSI card in the printer slot and toggle that to My Card when I'm not using the built in printer port. As far as I know GSOS can't be booted from...

I would open it under the section for the type of machine you're using (68K, PPC, etc) perhaps. There are windows utilities for working with Macintosh volumes, yes. I personally use macs more nowadays and use Basilisk II to manage disk contents before putting the image on a SCSI emulator such...

Can you try to clarify what you may not be understanding? That method should allow you to dump the data. I could see some confusion when it comes to burning another one; If you reprogrammed the data you obtained to a 2716, I believe that's when you would need an adapter to use it in circuit in...

Good on you for dumping them; I have seen it done with a breadboard circuit and consumer programmer: https://www.dmcmillan.co.uk/blog/testing-apple-ii-europlus-roms

On those, an 80 Col card is a video card. Before the IIe, the 80 column videx cards had their own output, hence the switches or "soft switches" to toggle. Awesome photos! Really cool to see these, actually :)

Oh I never power them up on the bags, only set them on them temporarily. Anti-Static bubble wrap on the other hand I don't really have qualms about it. The arcade community has told me the ones with visible patterning on the outside can cause a short... Just what I was told.

Looks really cool, and perhaps an 80 column card with an actual AV jack and not just header pins?

Apple II stuff is [finally?] climbing a bit in price. I would wager since original systems are still present in such numbers that previously clones didn't garner much attention from the average person or collector. Now, since original systems are starting to command some $$, I can see clones...

When I worked in web hosting it was normal for us to get a call either right before or right after a large press release, asking for help to keep the server(s) alive. It was much easier in advance lol, but we always did what we could, especially if they didn't know it was about to happen.

Double boxing is mandatory IMHO for shipping CRTs with anyone like UPS or Fedex. For heavier items I also bubble wrap, and then box, or alternately, fit layers of cardboard strategically around the item and re-wrap that. Then a final box with enough packing material to keep things from...

I believe it's the ones with the visible patterning that carry a level of risk, though it's never bit me either, I avoid setting boards on those particular anti-static bags. Never had a problem powering up [bare arcade] boards on anti-static bubble wrap either. I've done that more times than I...

This is really, really good news if you're keeping up with developments over at BMOW 😞 https://www.bigmessowires.com/2022/09/15/semiconductor-shortage-and-business-threat/

Very kind of you, thank you. I always have mixed feelings about these kinds of services, but that's for another day. Perhaps some day I'll hit the lottery* and buy a direct-to-garment printer 🤑 *(highly unlikely as I don't really gamble)

Nice!! I love it :)

Did you do the recapping yourself? Or do you completely trust the person who did the work?

Nice find; I feel like it would make a nice composite TV for some good old Apple II action.
