I’d add - BlueSCSI can be picky about SD cards and a lot of the IDE/ATA SD/HD adapters are too. Anecdotally it seems like the cheap cards that work fine in a camera might not always be good enough to work reliably as a hard drive. I’ve seen everything from glitchy performance to random system...

I'd probably dig up a copy of the "Apple Garamond" font and hit up my local makerspace for recommendations on a good silkscreener who takes low-volume weird custom work. That would be the ideal, I think. A clear decal would be "good enough" but you'd know. YOU'D KNOW.

Putting this in here be a use the bracket in question is from a 7300, and is far more brittle than others I’ve seen, but this is a more general question. As you can see in the attached photos I had a drive sled where all of the flex-tabs snapped off like they were made from the finest crystal...

Other than the fact that I have some scrap metal out in the garage I'd probably use first, that looks totally fine. Around here dead floppy disks are saved for art projects. My end goal is an epoxy pour coffee table that's a 5x12 grid of alternating white and blue floppy disks. Maybe a row of...

Yes, I meant route to the analog board. Sorry. That's interesting. Thank you.

I know that some of the youtubers have hacked the video signal from the motherboard to a A/D converter. So I'd assume it's a relatively standard signal type. Honest question here: is there a reason you can't just go the other way - take, say, the green signal line from an analog signal and...

Two things come to mind - power button stuck and power supply has something wrong with the soft power circuit. I'd inspect the PSU and see if it's time for a recap.

can you post the contents of your bluescsi.ini file and log file?

I might be talking out of my behind here, but I think that double arrow means "straight through wired" (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.) and isn't specific to serial cables.

Fixed! I had been, for instance, looking at the packet transmit count on the switch port, which went to a few and stopped. I had been waiting either for DHCP to pull an IP, or trying to ping the manually assigned address. However, you actually gave me the brain-kernel to figure it. Thinking it...

Well the tester ran but it thinks the NIC is ok. ID’d it as device 9 and said it passed the NIC tests. Is there a particular test(s) I should run to verify that oscillator is working right?

Well I built one and it works great! Could be prettier but I glued the plug together because I did all the soldering forgetting the sleeve first. Wasn’t going to take it apart and start again. Blah. Thanks for the advice! 🤓

No bet; I’ll try it tonight and let you know!

Doesn’t sound right to me. I thought an external 800k would be recognized as such? Do you have any other machines to test the drive with?

They look ok but I’d still take any socketed stuff out, spray contact cleaner around, make sure there’s no corrosion in the sockets, etc. Shouldn’t take long.

photos attached Yeah, the link light blinks a fair bit. The collision light isn’t on - that’s just sunlight making it look that way. I had hoped manually setting the switch to 10Mb would prevent the auto detect from being an issue, but I guess Incan swap a resistor. Even after reading the...

Well, I borrowed a managed switch, manually set the port to 10Mb - 1/2 duplex. Still no dice. I found an AUI adapter for a couple bucks. Hopefully that will solve it - I should be able to set the "autodetect" jumper to AUI-only mode on the card, then.

Well, it just randomly started working right. (I was tinkering around with old games, "playtesting" the recap, etc.) I have no idea what I did. It might have been one of the extensions I disabled? Bah humbug.

A cluttered desktop is a sign of a cluttered mind. A clean desktop, however...

Sorry, 2.0x.
