Excited to see what happens here! I’m still blown away by the TashTwenty...

In a Color Classic I it’s just a drop-in install. I actually tried it in two different CCs and it worked in both. If you really want to give it a shot let me know and I can trade one of my CCs for your CC II, but remember, I’m doing you a favour!

Wow - @max1zzz shipped my new Interware Booster from the UK last Friday and it was delivered to my home in Canada today - that came a lot faster than I expected. I put it into a Colour Classic and the difference is pretty notable. Most operations (including booting, app launches etc.) seem to...

And it works! I was beginning to second guess my soldering, but finding an issue would be too much of an ego blow to a dedicated vintage hobbyist! The issue was I hadn't jumpered J3 on the Demik TashTwenty. Jumpering J3 allowed both my Transcend microSD card and the regular size Transcend SD...

So this is a bit odd... My Transcend 2GB MicroSD card arrived today. TashTwenty Rev 2 - Success I was able to boot my TashTwenty Rev 2 by writing the 1704 image to it linked earlier in this thread. Demik TashTwenty Tiny - Not yet... I then put it into the SD Card adapter and tried it in my...

Thanks @tashtari I will look into the pickit3. I just ordered some transcend cards from amazon which should be here tomorrow and Wednesday and I’ll try those first.

Any tips for troubleshooting a code of 0x05? I built both TashTwenties and am having the same issue with both - Not recognized by my Mac. I have tried a three different SD cards I connected the cards to my oscilloscope and both flash b00000101 I am pretty sure it’s still an sd card...

I just received mine today! Really professional looking kits and I’m excited to put them together!

Out of curiosity any benchmarks on the speed up offered by this board? Curious given the LC II’s 16 bit data path how much of a bottleneck that is and how this compares to an LC III?

I hear you on this and I am looking forward to seeing the results of your completed throughout tests by Monday or so!

Great thread and write ups! Very theatrical!

I am in the same position here. I don’t know the background of the prior disagreement but I thought this was an updated BlueSCSI originally. I would have picked a scsi2sd related name personally.

Its Zane K on this project (not Kai). Zane seems like a pretty incredible engineering type. It would be great to lock him in a room with Bolle for one month and see all of the great new retro hardware that would result. Oh well. Stupid kidnapping laws….

There is a full thread on it here. Seems like a super neat project. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/wip-25-mhz-68hc000-based-accelerator-for-mac-se.253/

Did everybody see the post on Facebook about the 25mhz 68000 accelerator for the Mac SE? If it ends up happening I would buy a couple. it will be open source and it would be great to adapt it to the Mac Classic.

This is wrong on a few levels. There is no correlation between 16 bits and 4MB. Beyond that, the 68000 had a 24 bit address width which would translate into 16mb of addressable memory space. Indeed, the Mac portable which was also a 68000 machine and supported 8MB. The limitation is ROM based...

I had mentioned the same approach re: the panel mount cables in the Scuznet thread but in the context of having a Scuznet with an IDC50 connector to avoid needing to piece together the various adapters. I don't have the skills to modify the Scuznet to sport an IDC 50 instead but if somebody was...

The comment was recommending replacing those parts not trying to troubleshoot. It seemed that you had already recapped the analog board and replacing those parts is not any more complex. I am pretty sure i posted the specific part numbers I used here at one point as well

I have a 128k that had a similar issue, although it as quite some time ago so I can't recall exactly how similar it was. Apparently at one point in the Mac's history it smoked when it was turned on and the guy never turned it back on. I ended up buying it (in a box) for $35. I did my standard...
