I really want to know if that actually works. That would be awesome.

If they are 256MB modules then having 16 chips will indicate that they are compatible. I had to go and check the developer notes and I was incorrect earlier - The Grackle memory controller only supports 128 Megabit chips not 256. So if you have 16 x 128Megabit chips you'll have a compatible...

I have heard from a reliable source that these won't be available to the general public before winter.

The memory controller in the Lombard can only address up to 256 Mbit density chips which is the limitation. It can theoretically handle up to 1GB if you could manage to cram that many memory chips in the machine but unfortunately the practical maximum is 512MB with dual 16 chip SODIMMs. Low...

Agreed. If I'm giving up the aesthetic of having the original apple hardware I don't want to be paying that much. Hacking an old ball mouse is the way I'd go for those DE9 machines if I had to have a substitute. Much much cheaper.

Can't find anything about that UniMac drive in the photos but I'm guessing it is SCSI so it probably does have some interesting upgrades.

You will probably need a Ethernet switch to connect the two machine but internet sharing is easy to set up in Windows 10.

Definitely some confusion going on. While the A/V ports on a 6500 would be inputs if it has them I don't think the OP cares about doing the capturing ON the 6500. They want to capture the output of the 6500 on a modern machine. Firewire isn't going to be helpful for that. As mentioned you're...

Great now I want a SPARC based laptop. Oh and in researching the thing I found out Tadpole made an Alpha based laptop too! I need both of those things. Big fan of the were-panther!

Have you tried this one? https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-922-universal

That's what I thought as well from looking at the picture.

He doesn't draw attention to it but a lot of the machines he's playing with don't officially support OS X. It is nice people are still discovering XPostFacto in 2023. ;)

Wow 16 year necro-thread... Sean (aka Action Retro) uses XPostFaco all the time in his videos.

It is SO awesome to see young people interested in this stuff! I've continually been impressed with @3lectr1cPPC 's knowledge.

No problem! Only wanted to educate not embarrass or make you feel dumb. Like I said VERY confused about it when I encountered m.2! I'm sure if you and I got it mixed up there are a LOT of people who are confused by this as well.

While they do look very similar - mSATA predates the m.2 standard and is in no way physically compatible with any m.2 connector or form factor (which is also part of the standard). I was very confused about all this too when m.2 came out.

Yep. That's correct. They could be larger. That looks like Mouser in the screenshot - You'll have to check the "Case Code - mm" section of the datasheet for the part you're looking at to see what size it is. I think 7343 is the right size. As a side note: I recently bought a bunch a parts...

The tolerance value in the screenshot is the extent to which the actual capacitance is allowed to vary from its nominal value. Thus a 100µF capacitor with a ±20% tolerance could legitimately vary from 80μF to 120μF and still remain within tolerance. It is unrelated to the voltage derating which...

The board Phipli posted is the CPU dauterboard out of a PowerBook (170 I think). He was just showing the picture to illustrate that they eventually made MC versions of the 68030. It isn't the accelerator being discussed. Incidentally there are two clock chips on that board which are the black...

Good question. It was posted just a couple of days ago. I figured I'd draw attention to it. Here's a direct link to the project: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Apple_Macintosh_SE_30_Motherboard_78143494.html
