@joeventura try this and see if it boots for you

@saybur while messing around with my takky color classic system (Performa 5400 Logic Board currently overclocked from 200 to 220mhz) im using a fast compact flash card on the IDE port with the scuznet connected to the ssci port as the only device and im running Mac OS 9. r/w speeds are around...

Macgui.com and Macintoshrespositry both appear to have macnosy available for download edit: noticed you said ‘legal’ so forget what I said above lol

im a bit confused, I just downloaded and tried out After Dark for OS9 running on 9.0.4 and I was just able to copy the control Panel and the a'after dark files' folder into control panels, after I did get info and ceclicked the locked Botton and it runs fine for me. just wondering what version...

as long as you replace it with another NPN bipolar Power Transistor that meats or exceeds the original part specifications, you should be fine to 'up-rate' with a modern part. as mentioned above refer to the Datasheet to confirm not only the pinouts but also that Vces, Vebo, and hFE are similar...

I think they are called sstabalizing wires or something like that, as far as a know only trinitron displays have them. being that TV's used interlaced signals back then they tv geometry was more often or not factory tweaked so that the lines would be hidden in the scalines of the interlaced...

yup, its more specifically a part of the Trinitron screen design, larger trinitron screens will even have a second line a 1/3 from the top.

@saybur I think that was the issue, using mode=forcefast appears to have fixed the slow random r/w issue I was having. I tried mode=fast but it seems to perform the same as mode=normal. I know 100% that my the hdd image im doing my testing with is contiguous fwiw regardless that issue is fixed...

haven't done much but I did use the CD-ROM support on my Takky Color Classic Build to boot and install MacOS 8.1, the scuznet seemed to work fine doing the install

ive actually just mostly finished a collar classic conversion, my advice would be to do the Takky, its a bit more work with modifying the case, but its not to hard to do really. this will give you the most options for either 68k/PPC logic boards. modding the analogue board to support 640x480 res...

not sure if this is helpful but UDIF, the Universal disk image format that replaced NDIF when OS X came about is from what I read awhile ago based on NDIF, my understanding is that an uncompressed NDIF file internally should follow a very similar data structure/layout as UDIF files do. might be...

going liPo is probably the best option for power density vs physical size. not to mention that a LiPo can handle much higher initial current draw. modifying a existing power banks output voltage probably isn't the way to go, off the shelf power banks generally only follow specific voltages...

ive done a few quick tests using the latest dev branch. the expat option in compile slowed down the boot up to a crawl where it just wasn't working so I didn't pursue that. I just reformatted using FAT32 and from what I could tell my ftp transfers are the same, disk speeds have gone up to around...

@cheesestraws thanks, yes I know I haven't posted in awhile, lifes been a bit crazy over the last year or so with time commitments. ive still been coming here occasionally to see what's new but its only recently where I actually have free time to mess around with my vintage machines. so even if...

it appears to be 5 slow blinks then I think 13 fast blinks then it repeats. I totally understand the being distracted with life, being at university and then covid happening has kept me away from my Macintosh hacking for quite some time. however im glad to hear you still have plans to continue...

Also I tried the latest firmware in the dev branch as I was going to try to the cdrom iso stuff but I had no luck, I set the correct config settings for the 128 variant of the atmega and I get some flashing leds but nothing else. I haven’t tried the boot loader yest just tried PDI programming...

@saybur that's absolutely fine, my intention was always to offer the files free to anyone who wants to print them also @cheesestraws I love the backplate, im working on a dual PDS adaptor for my SE/30 atm so I'll make sure to add a few of these back plates to my next order

hi saybur, I have been absent for quite awhile due to a busy workload with school, just wanted to say that I think its great you're still working on this and have a bootloader work, also I noticed a few post later that you have some initial CD-ROM support working. I have a couple weeks free from...

ive recently dug out my old color classic and awhile ago it was working, the logic board has been recapped about 2 years ago however upon turning it on now I get the startup chime and it appears to boot/read from floppy disk. however the display is completely dead. I hard replaced 90% of the...

hey saybur, been pretty busy with university lately, so haven't posted in a little while, just wanted to see were things are at and what I can do to help with testing etc..
