@BobDenford do you have 32 or 24 bit memory addressing turned on? Also, Virtual Memory?

Just put in an order :) looking forward to giving them a try! Also put in an order for the LCD bracket. Going to see if I can use it in a leftover SE/30 case that I have (original computer went into a MacEffects case years ago), and pair it with a Raspberry Pi. @Geekybit is there a good LCD...

Of course 7.1 will run faster than 7.5. Same as 6.0.8 is faster than 7.1. Less features and overhead, etc. That said, if you’re putting the features to use then it isn’t bloat, it’s added functionality at the expense of performance. In my case, I have 2 SE/30s, one of them at the stock 16mhz...

Depends on how much much RAM you have installed. 4MB or less: System 7.1.x More than 4MB: System 7.5.5

This was an adventure. Tried installing WSL on an existing Windows 10 Bootcamp install on my old MacBook (16gb RAM). For whatever reason something wasn’t working right with it, strange errors and never got it to get to point of encoding video frames. Ended up installing Linux Mint on a spare...

Thanks for the quick reply! Okay sounds good, I’ll give it a try on another system.

@avadondragon did you ever get this working on a raspberry Pi 4gb model? I also am running into an issue with it. Reads around 4100 frames then crashes in Terminal or the entire Pi freezes.

I’d be interested in a G4 kit.

I have booted my tangerine iBook G3 from USB, I’d always figured these other machines could do it as well. It was incredibly slow to boot and install Mac OS 9 of course, being a USB 1.1 port.

Having owned both and used Tiger on both a long time ago, I’d say the Pismo is the oldest/slowest powerbook that can still provide an excellent 10.4 experience. Tiger worked on the Lombard functionally, but not nearly as responsive or smooth in my experience. Guessing the system bus speed and...

Awesome! Thank you @croissantking! I should have some time later in April to give it a try.

Back side of 820-0971-A Wings AV card:

Images of Wings AV Card 820-0971-A below. Looks like this one could support the USB controller and a single USB port.

Not sure if you have tried, but have you tried removing the RAM from the PC Card and just share main system memory with it? On my 6100 I have found the PC Card to be very picky about RAM, some sticks would work intermittently. Took a long time to find one that worked reliably. Also as a point...

I’m interested in trying this! I was looking at the cards I have (one installed, 1 backup), both are the AV variant. However, after looking close they are completely different layouts. One appears to have the space for the USB controller chip, the other doesn’t. I’ll get some photos and part...

I believe that version works with 8.1 on the 6100 as well, so at least one non-PCI version has it working.

I have 8.1 on my SE/30. I used a 32bit clean rom, pretty sure one is required and that Mode32 won’t get the job done (unless there’s an alternative method). Only need system 7 disks for initial install. Once set up though, it has worked great ever since. Nice to have HFS+ support.

I believe the Zip Tools v4.2 boot limitation only applies to the Mac Plus. Specifically, when formatting the Zip disk, the machine doing the formatting needs to be using v4.2 for the Plus to be able to boot from it. In my experience, other machines don’t seem impacted by newer versions. That...

Very cool!

My first guess would be a power situation. Has your power supply ever been recapped? If not it may have drifted down a little. There’s a way to check the 5v and 12v lines on the external floppy port on the SE. might be starting every so slightly low then coming up high enough after a second on...
