2.1 is actually an unofficial patch that is applied to 2.0.6 and is available here.

Oh, I haven't used 2.0.6 in so long I forgot how weird it could be. But if 2.1 needs more RAM it certainly can't be very much it still has a tiny memory footprint. I use it on all of my compact Macs.

Yep you can use ANY range. I have to change mine to the 10.x.x.x range to use my PowerBook170 on campus. Then switch back to 192.168.x.x for home.

I had this happen on a PB160 display too. :( Luckily I got to my 180c before too much cap goo damage could take place.

Nice job! I always enjoy seeing people's success with this stuff.  Plus if you hang around long enough you get to see may of the things that could go wrong on your own hardware.  Would have never guessed a system could boot sys6 but not sys7 because of a bad trace!

Wow that's REALLY interesting!  Dual CPU support under Mac OS pre-X?  I wonder how it worked.

I did this to a IBM PC Convertible that I was attempting a EL panel backlight mod on.  In my case I ended up breaking a couple of the retention clips on the metal bracket.  I keep thinking I will machine a new metal piece but have never gotten around to it.  Probably never will sadly.  I think I...

You seem to have a very good grasp of the situation now. :) The ROMs are easy enough to copy (you could probably even find an FDHD ROM dump onine) if you can get another SMIW from somewhere and Sony floppy drive then you'll have yourself an upgraded SE FDHD.  I did exactly this on my own SE.

That's an odd problem.  My first inclination is to think it has something to do with boot media.  What are you booting FROM?  Floppies?  Is the sys6 disk 800k and all the sys7 disks 1.4M?  If so can you read the sys7 disks at all on that machine?  Can you boot another machine from the same media...

The SWIM is not a ROM so it can't simply be copied with a PROM burner.  You must duplicate the logic inside the thing and then replicate it in a custom logic device.  I once had the fantasy of reverse engineering the SWIM chip and recreating it in a cheap PLD.  Seemed like something fun to put...

I think even my tiny RepRap could handle a CDROM Bezel if I fit it diagonally so almost ANY printer could probably print one.  Modelling from an original part isn't difficult at all.  I really enjoy it actually.  Some of those mac parts have some absolutely crazy geometry though.  I spent a...

We need to start a Wiki page collection of 3D printable Mac parts for easy access.  Scrolling through pages of discussion is sub-optimal. I've also seen other people have modeled some of the same things I have which is a silly duplication of effort that could be invested in creating even MORE...

Unfortunately not usable - unbarably slow.  But it is still a nice proof of concept.

I sent a message to Paul and it turns out mini vMac 3.4 has had 68k support broken all along but no one had reported it.  He said he will see about getting it fixed in 3.5 at some point.  Anyone have an older binary like v3.3.3?  Couldn't track one down yet. Here's the older vMac 0.1.9 running...

There's a link to MacTCP Ping at the bottom of this page.  You REALLY need a copy to help figure out network troubles. Might be some other useful stuff there too.

I found the files! :D For strength it must be printed vertically with supports.  I tried many times to print it face down without supports but the long pieces that actually press the buttons inside the Mac always sheer off between layers. MacSE_Debug(vert).stl.zip If anyone prints one I'd...

As far as I have been able to tell there isn't one available in the wild.  I modeled one a year or two ago and printed a couple.  I lost my original files though.  The fact that someone is specifically asking for it might be motivation to go looking.  I think I emailed the STL file to someone...

I'd love to see a modern implementation of Faralon's EtherWave that plugged into the printer port and provided an external clock to drive the speed of the RS422 port higher.  From what I've seen online RS422 can max out at 10Mb/s! Some time I would like to see a speed comparison between the...

The guy working on The Tiny SCSI Emulator mentioned getting a SCSI video converter box thingy (a SuperMac SuperView) to play with back in January.  He may be working on something like this.

Awesome.  I remembered seeing the emulator inside an emulator thing that galgot mentioned earlier on the web somewhere once.  Pretty sure it was the original vMac on Basilisk II.that you just demonstrated.  How was the emulator's responsiveness?  Seeing your demo I managed to get vMac-0.1.9b to...
