    Not a Macintosh SE build

    Looks more like 832x624. With 512k of VRAM, the LC 475 supports 512x384 @16-bit color, 640x480 and 832x642 @8-bit color and 1024x768 and 1152x870 @4-bit color. With 1 MB of VRAM, it supports up to 832x624 @16-bit color and 1024x768 and 1152x870 @8-bit color. It is about the same size as the...

    That'd be an amazing coincidence if the LC monitor tube pins just happened to be the same as the tube in the SE/30. That is not an SE/30 neck board, I don't think, so maybe it was just that easy.

    I'd like to see how the modder got the video working, unless that's just a 9" VGA monitor with a DB-15 adapter. That is very interesting jeremywork.

    Not a Macintosh SE build

    Well, sure. Thanks robin-fo. For abandonware, Shoebill is a nice piece of alpha code, even stuck indefinitely at version 0.0.5. I could even build NetBSD for Pi and build Shoebill there. Raspberry Pi is definitely a viable option. But I'd still like to explore the possibility of Intel and AMD...

    SCSI2SD (v6) vs. RaSCSI vs. BlueSCSI

    There's a nice wiki here comparing the various versions of just the SCSI2SD. So even if the SCSI2SD v6 is capable of 10MB/s, and the SCSI-2 bus in 68k Macs is also 10MB/s maximum bandwidth, it doesn't mean you'll ever see that much throughput, and apparently SCSI bandwidth in 68k Macs also...

    Hi AndyO, my info was out of date. I thought the Pi B maxed out at 4GB, which is a bit confining. 8GB is much better, but I think a minimum of 16GB would be best for my purposes, if not 32GB or 64GB. But I'll have to keep the Pi in consideration now I know it supports 8GB RAM, so I thank you for...

    Not a Macintosh SE build

    I'm starting with an empty SE case with internal chassis CC_333 is kindly selling to me. There's going to be a lot of preliminary work getting the case ready, but I want to think ahead towards what its brain could be to give a longer lead time before I pull the trigger. One way to go is just...

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    So the connector was upside down?

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    Thanks for the diagrams aplmak. I think I have it, sorry for my confusion. The pins on your DAT drive are a horizontally paired implementation of the jumper pins that on the OEM drives are vertically paired. I thought initially it was for choosing a bus speed, but you're right, it's for setting...

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    I'm pretty sure the SCSI bus chips assign SCSI IDs to devices, but this is immaterial. Regardless of the absence of the RAID card, all ANS motherboards have an external SCSI-1 bus and two internal onboard fast wide SCSI busses, and SCSI always requires termination at both ends, and any devices...

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    It's parallel SCSI, so you need one device with terminators at each the end of the bus. The RAID card itself is automatically terminated, and whatever device is at the far end of the bus needs to be terminated. If there's only one device, terminate it, if there's two, terminate the second...

    Kermit, the super green SE/30

    I hope it's not too late to give congratulations, elemenoh, nicely done. Your greenest Green Jade is awe inspiring. Green Green: It's Not Easy Being Green: I'm So Green: I have to mention, Can release this B-side in 1972, but it sounds like, say, the Circle Jerks could have released it a...

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    Korn is so unforgiving, with none of the bells (at least in 1997). NetBSD's sh (escapes me what it actually is, but it) is Bourne-like, which is close enough to Bourne-again that I feel somewhat at home. It's not as if I have experienced all the shells, but generally I find BSD superior to AT&T...

    Apple Network Server 500/132

    Did not expect so many with ANS. I have a 700/200, dual PSU. But I was uprooted soon after acquisition, then uprooted again, then a couple more times, so it still sits in storage. What is everyone running? AIX 4.1.4? 4.1.5? NetBSD ? LinuxPPC ? (linuxppc.org is no more :\ Hope it and...

    Macintosh SE/30 Schematics (modernization effort)

    Ouch. I saw it mentioned, so I found and skimmed though the crash post-mortem thread earler to see what happened. It explained why my very old login was extirpated. But I gained an appreciation for forum sysadmins and dbadmins. I thought it was like webmastering, which I hate doing for anything...

    Missing SE/30 SCSI Controller Chip

    Thanks TPope. Unlike the Total Systems Gemini 68030 Accelerator for SE, the ATTO Silicon Express IV and FWB Jackhammer for NuBus are not accelerators, per se, but distinct and faster SCSI busses run through NuBus. OP cannfoddr was missing the SCSI controller chip, and bdurbrow noted a faster...

    Macintosh SE/30 Schematics (modernization effort)

    This thread is a great read that ends like a book in which someone tore out the last chapter. What happened with the SE/30 logic board redesign? I saw the unpopulated SE logic boards for sale. As impressive as that project's result is, I don't understand why, to begin with, that effort was...

    Missing SE/30 SCSI Controller Chip

    But for the WGS 95, with the fast Apple SCSI card, not built-in, PDS, yet OEM. Thanks for the links Fizzbinn... stealing that rather upsetting first page of the table from the second link. I'm having trouble believing it. The SE/30 internal SCSI-2 bus is limited to 1.25MB/s by the 53C80? Or...

    Missing SE/30 SCSI Controller Chip

    from the Logic 53C80.pdf Also seems to answer my question about bus speed... has to be SCSI-1, 5MB/s. Except I just read this at Low End Mac ...which again has me believing the SE/30 internal SCSI bus is Fast SCSI-2, 10MB/s. By whatever method, I want that 10MB/s. 1-5MB/s is no way to live.

    Missing SE/30 SCSI Controller Chip

    Thank you for the reply. Good to learn SD2SCSI saturates bus bandwidth, though I suppose that means there could be no r/w speed gain using more than one bussed SD2SCSI in a hypothetical softRAID 0. I am not clear on RaSCSI. I know it emulates SCSI, but I don't understand what actual the...
