Hello, More information : Reading the Powerbook service manual I just realized that the cpu board has 4 mb ram welded (8 chips of 512k x 8 bits). Mine show only a total of 2 mb when the system is running. So for sure this cpu board has a serious problem ! I will buy another hoping the price...

Thanks for the reply. About the memory problem I do more test this morning. First I cross the 2 mb module with another one in a Powerbook 100. This computer then continue to boot well so the module is ok. I just noticed that the memory chip located on the cpu board are xxxx-85 so 85 ns speed...

Hi, I am answering myself. Since the beginning I suspect a problem of current leakage somewhere. I was suspicious against the old dielectric coming from the leaky chemical caps. Even the welded connectors between main pcb and daughter board have been polluted by this sh... And my opinion is...

Re, Some progress... I found that if I copy the 'pi apl' into the directory 'f77 overlays' then the program start and run well. Its a pure "console" application. Trying the 'demo apl' which use graphics I have to copy "toolbx.sub" from the subroutine directory again into the f77 overlays...

Hello there ! Okay now I can edit and compile fortran code without error. I got a 'source_name apl' file in the same directory as source file. When I try to launch one of these apl (i have try with many demos sample etc...) then each time I see a windows opening and immediately closing and...

Hello, Okay now I have my bluescsi working on the Mac Plus with 7.0.1 FR. This is working only if I put only one active image on the sd board. Now I try to get two images working at the same time. I use dd to create an empty file with a suitable name on the side of the image with the system...

You are right. Using a 6.0.8 pre made image alone on the sd media the Plus boot. Image made from BasiliskII seems to have the same problem that with minivmac... I have a azerty keyboard so I hope to use 6.0.8 L which can support it. How can I made a suitable hard disk image with this system ...
