It doesn’t start up when you press the power key on the keyboard, or when you short the PSU pins to turn it on, or both? I had to replace a few SMD diodes and ICs in my IIci soft power circuit to get it going.

CD-ROM support is a great add! While there may be better ways to do it, I wonder if it would be fairly straightforward for one of our Mac programming gurus (@cheesestraws, @Scott Squires , @Crutch among them) to write a Mac App that would look for a Scuznet device, issue a custom scsi command...

I had an SE30 with a very dim image. I recapped the analog board and replaced the power supply, but that didn’t fix it. What did, was a transplanted good CRT from a Mac Plus.

The only reason why Apple did it was to preserve their margins. The original Mac came out in 1984 and in 1990 when they introduced the Classic the increase in processor speed after six years was exactly zero. They could have bumped the Classic to 16mhz but they saw no reason to. Adding the...

The main drawback is the Classic ii is still dog slow. The SE30 is probsbly twice as fast in regular usage for most tasks. Somebody did a YouTube video that shows them side by side and it feels worse in person. It’s ridiculous that Apple crippled the memory datapath in the Classic ii, lc ii...

The overclocking angle is interesting! I did some tests of the (then?) current version a week or so ago trying out the nuvolink again - I tested on my PB 145B and got ~104kb/s down and 80kb/s up on Appleshare and about 100kbps with Fetch. I did get a freeze at shutdown. (I also had a freeze...

Works great! Thank you!! Please use this thread as you see fit. Since requesting that update went really well and was turned around so quickly, my next feature request for Force32 would be to add on a web browser and a mail client that supports encryption. Please let me know when those...

I had a chance to try the current firmware with the various fixes on Nuvolink emulation. On my SE/30 at least preliminary results seem to indicate pretty good stability. No crashes or other issues after transferring a 6mb file up and down via AppleShare and a 70mb file by ftp. Performance is...

@cheesestraws Awesome! I have to pull my SE down from the shelf and will report back. It might be a couple of days though. Thanks for this!

And the conclusions (all on my multipacket Daynaport firmware): 1) Either the Daynaport driver or the ENC doesn't like an old-fashioned 10 BASE-T hub. Plugging into my Wifi access point (gigabit switch) allowed the IIsi to work fine on AppleShare. 2) The IIsi itself kind of sucks. While...

So I pulled my IIsi out and plugged in the Scuznet with my current Daynaport firmware and, completely surprising to me, I ran into problems: (Note that I booted off the Scuznet, so same System Folder that is working fine on my SE, SE/30 and PB 145B). My IIsi only had 5MB of memory so I started...

So I pulled out my That’s correct for a Mac that supports OT but Macs without enough RAM or without an 030 switch to Classic networking, even if OT is selected.

I should re-benchmark with Classic networking on my SE/30. I should have noted that I was running Classic networking on my SE when I was testing it earlier - OT requires an 030. (I was actually a bit surprised, booting the same 7.5.3 image which is normally Open Transport automatically...

Thanks @saybur - Those results are interesting - network setup must play a pretty significant role - Your software setup seems to mirror what I had suggested before maybe with the exception of not updating your Open Transport to 1.3 - 68k custom install. (I am assuming you're running Open...

Good question on whether or not it would keep restarting! I actually pulled the extension out before I could try it again so I don't know what would have happened if I left it in. Fully agree that a CPU check would be good enough. I would think that anything that's on a 68000 could be safe to...

@cheesestraws - Force32 is awesome and saves a fair bit of time fiddling around with PRAM-battery-less Macs. I know the Github page indicates that the extension doesn't check for 32-bit addressing capability but it would be awesome if if would check the gestalt ID and not do it's magic if it's...

Interesting... I assumed Fetch estimates of kB per second would be accurate but a point in time estimate. i.e. it shows the current rate of transfer but not the average speed to the current point in time. I will try the stop watch test on the 6mb test file I use for AppleShare. For the dma...

That is still a bit odd though. Once the Nuvolink connects successfully reconnects to the Mac, I think it keeps sending packets until it gets asked to disconnect so you’d think it would be able to keep up. I am also pretty sure I was getting around 50kbs on Appleshare with Nuvolink before on my...

Something seems weird there. I am not seeing any real speed differences on the forked Scuznet Daynaport firmware I posted earlier between AppleTalk and FTP and I haven’t messed with the buffer space at all. I am also not seeing any retransmits. I have tested on an SE30 and pb145b. It might be...

I think you had mentioned before that you weren't too keen on it but the killer v 2.1 feature for me, assuming somebody can come up with a 2.5" powerbook size scuznet, is a Scuznet that includes the IDC50 and DB25 options, and a 2 prong header for a secondary power input. I wouldn't be...
