Hey bud, so glad to see you drop into the fray whilst I was typing what appears to be outdated as I was doing it! Whatcha think of somnolent morning dreams of putting BlueSCSI II/Wireless in IIsi/SE/30 slots? Two birds with one interrupt stone on your NIC adaptation of ProtoCache1?

Yep, same thing deadended the deal with the HALs on the first release of the Macintosh II. @Bolle when we were working on the NuBus interface many years back, ISTR that being the case? There's a veritable crapload of documentation on this setup in the initial Apple Tome for SE hardware...

Sweet! Thank you, from the location I was hoping the EMULEX IC was a stock SCSI interface chip! The 86C05A has 32bit NuBus heading into it from the transceivers and would be spitting an 8bit stream out to the 68000 I would think? If it's function is set up on the pins and not a programmer of...

Roadblock on first search, dammit! :rolleyes: EMULEX 2400092 is a Programmable Logic IC. Can't find a Datasheet, why is an IC available from so many companies and only one I've found even gives its function, much less a datasheet? Anybody got WebArchiveFu? NCR 86C05A is a generic bus...

Is the Rabbit Hole Card compatible with OS9, site doesn't say?

Yep, but I don't know of one offhand that supports Fast/Narrow so the MoBo connector works fine?

Are any devices Fast/Narrow SCSI II other than mass storage in use for the hobby? Linotronics and such may have employed it in the day, but can't think of anything else?

YOWCH! That'd be an actual development project! :oops: This is not that at all. Everything looks to me like stock parts in a known, decipherable design with traces visible? Fast/Narrow BlueSCSI is an open source licensed design and so it will be a simple add-on feature, no? Adding DB-25 on the...

Love that Diagnostics Port! @Bolle Are they using a 68000 CPU to do the magic later cards do in ASICs? That's a whole lotta ROM for it right above the CPU. DeclROM is off to the right.

Looks like it's all stock parts with only three PALs to read? All traces appear to be on outer layers? @max1zzz whatcha think? Have you got another practical target card? It's not close to my FWB JackHammer of course. But if it can be cloned, it appears to be perfect for BlueSCSI Fast/Narrow...

Cool beans. Attempting to achieve total n00b status when it comes to finally start running Mac Emulators. :oops: Micro SD card arrived today and I got a Win10 machine back up and running to get the Ubuntu Image set up for the CM4. Total n00b when it comes to all things Pi as well. Played with...

You need to know a whole lot more than which connection goes where. To date, I've not heard of anyone deciphering any driver/cable interface for a PowerBook. LCD. A card translating the digital interface of that cable might be possible. Feeding those signals to a RAMDAC driving the analog...

Thanks for the help gang! :) I've started documenting the hardware end of this project over where editing my posts is better supported: PowerBook fun and games begin with Raspberry Pi CM4Lite and its I/O board! Will summarize in the Hacks forum here if/when actual progress is made. ;)

A bit off topic: it would be very interesting indeed if someone might design a NIC for that slot with WiFi bridge on board. Looking at it in the past, feeding the connector cable up thru the hinge to antenna wrapped around the shielding envelope of the LCD would be very cool indeed. I've got PC...

If using a different resolution, you'd likely have the ghost screen problem, same thing for 640x480 native resolution.. The 190/5300 "VidCard" is exactly that, full blown function setting up an external display as an extended screen or in mirror mode. Connector looks very similar to the ones...

I've got the VidCard in hand. The place to look for the board signals would be on expansion connector I'd think. Native resolution shouldn't be problematic? Higher output resolutions of the card are enabled by 512K of onboard Video DRAM: M5M482256J

I've looked into switching to a modern Panel from a VGA interface controller board for the 190/5300. Setup occupies the FDD bay, but who uses that these days. FDD not necessary even back in the day due to addition of the SD card slots. Would require: video out board VGA input panel controller...

Oh well. Don't really need OS9 for this hack to be very, very cool I'd think. are 7.5 or 8 might be a reasonable target for emulation on a Pi4 class machine? BTW, printed out the 192mm x 120mm active area of the 2K panel linked in the OP. It's all but dead on width wise. A very, very thin slice...

I'm not actually using Pi4, but the topic is on target. I'm using the Compute Module 4 with the I/O reference board similar to the one at top of page. CM4 is the CPU WiFi section of RPi4b. The I/O board is pretty much a splayed out array of the 4b ports, lined up neatly in a row. It's the...

:ROFLMAO: How big would the performance hit be when putting NVMe on an adapter for USB3 port? Found an IDC PCIe 1x extension cable. Should be easy enough to desolder the connector and wire up the extension. That would allow a zero height RA connection moving the adapter straight forward...
