Honestly any classic MacOS, my 'Nostalgia' ends around when OSX starts. But I Most use 6.0.8, 7.1, and 9.2.x

This is really the way. The new RevC can act as 2 5.25's at once on a single unit.

Wow wow wow! I thought I got lucky snagging a few extra machines when I found my SE/30 but this is a hell of a haul!

I received an email that the BOOTi is retired and all customers (myself included) are removed from the waiting list. This was just a few days ago I feel like. I am always a fan of the MicroDrive Turbo for internal fast storage, and for a IIgs ir can be a great primart drive. However with an...

I hope you enjoy assembling your kit, this is a pretty quick portal to the mid 70s computing experience. The Apple Cassette Interface manual will be your friend, if this card is in slot 1 you can just follow it verbatim, if it's in another slot just invoke the ACI at D000 instead of C100.

Recently @jajan547 posted in another thread about Mike Willegal's "Brain Board" for Apple II computers. The two of us decided it would be worthwhile to split a JLCPCB order. Mike abandoned this project years ago, but in doing so, he also generously made the files and source public...

Right on, appreciate the information and hard work!

That is awesome, do I just configure the AirTalk in chooser on an extra machine, and then plug that AirTalk into the ImageWriter II?

I would have to see if any of my SE logic boards have that IC socketed. Exactly which chip is it on the logic board? Is it usually in a socket? Otherwise I do have PICs, a means to write them, and a logic analyzer

You are awesome for uploading this. If you want perfectly straight scans you often have to risk or agree to destruction of the materials, so in the spirit of preservation, I would say you did fine.

Like I said, 1A isn't much for 3.3v. The crashes under load are a tell tale symptom. I would be pretty surprised if a beefier regulator or different PSU didn't sort it.

That makes sense 🤔

Does the Sonnet CPU pull 3.3v? My thinking is both devices drawing on 3.3v would almost certainly sink it.

BlueSCSI is well maintained if you want an open source solution. The ZuluSCSI is capable of faster speeds, but if your use is 68K macs, a BlueSCSI is probably fine.

Levels are good to check, but if the data sheet for that regulator is right it only has 1A max, which isn't much as far as modern PCI goes.

The reason it came to mind is actually from other systems I've seen crash in similar conditions. Older TTL logic is usually 5V. For a lot of stuff that drives the main logic, but, when you get to more complicated IC's, 3.3v logic is way more common. Overdrawing that is common when CPU or GPU...

Is the PSU recapped or new / have you checked voltages? I could see a crash if 5 or 3.3v is overdrawn.

Does that ATI card have a heat sync or fan? If so has the heat sync been re thermal pasted? I have used a couple sonnet CPUs with various ATI cards and never had and straight up hardware compatibility issues. Not to say they can't exist but I have had very good luck.

I did mine all on a modern Mac, see my posts above. I have some spare PCBs and parts if you are in the US I would be happy to help you out like I did @davidg5678

At this point I have a Drakware, Wombat, and a few of the open source QMK ones with pro Micro / Elite C boards https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/cheap-and-simple-adb-to-usb-converter.39402/ I really like those. I should learn more about QMK but it's an easy enough project if you don't...
