I ordered one of these from the Tindie page this weekend and am quite excited! Trying to decide which of my too many systems I'll use it on first, but I think it's going to be my SE.

It was in the system when I purchased it this summer, but I couldn't test it until recently as I had no CD caddy until the last few weeks. I assume it's the original, since it's an Apple drive and it matches the case. It's attached to the middle connector on the SCSI cable, which looks just...

I assume you mean that you need to have Toast on your classic system? For what it's worth, I have burnt many a .toast image on a Linux system by changing the file extension from .toast to .iso and using any old burning program, typically Xfburn. Just used that technique last night on a couple of...

I guess this should be here instead of Peripherals? I have a 650 here with its original caddy loader that seems to be dead. Will take the caddy in and immediately spit it back out again, and the OS won't see it on the SCSI chain. I assume that sounds like a recap is in order? Does anyone have...

We got it here in central Illinois too. Where are you located?

Are you planning to make a revision of the board with the through-hole header? I'm not very experienced with surface-mount soldering, and while I think a small IC is probably within my abilities, I'm far less confident soldering up a 50pin SMD header, haha. I am probably interested in taking...

AWESOME. :D How much are the parts for this, roundabout? EDIT: looking over the way you put together the service now. I had pretty much the same idea of using Python to both write to the OLED and control the rascsi process; great minds think alike!

How many gpio pins are left unused on the Pi? I wonder, if we have enough to run a small i2c bus, if we could add a small LCD or OLED and a few buttons to the board to switch CD images or the like. I've been dreaming of a FlashFloppy-style device for SCSI CD emulation since I got my Mystic a...

I recently uploaded a disk to the Garden, and realized I should probably scan the face of it for the archive. I had this old HP ScanJet 3c in storage, and I thought it would be more fun to do the job with vintage hardware 'cause that's why we're all here, right? When I pulled the scanner out, I...

Like these? Good idea! I could probably find them cheaper elsewhere, though.

Picked the aforementioned up today from a guy in Bloomington, IL. I have several Power Macs, and a few compacts, but other than a flaky/crumbling 660av, this is my only full-fat 040 in the house. I love my Mystic CC, but I don't feel like doing the 640x480 upgrade, so now I have a good 68k...

My main goal here is to figure out a non-destructive way to use the higher resolution on my Mystic CC, but since it involves trace cutting, I guess that isn't very feasible. I wonder how much a spare analog board would be? Probably prohibitively expensive, haha. 

I have approximately nil analog electronics experience. Would it be possible to add a circuit to the Color Classic's analog board that would allow one to switch between the original resolution's signal path and the VGA signal path? I would assume the switching would have to take place while the...

You might have better luck in the Trading Post forum. Good luck, those 2400c's are beautiful. 

I think that they deserve to be liberated, if he can dig them up. Please share with the class!

Well, I went and answered my own question with a Google search. Silly me. This xlr8yourmac article lists details of a Gigabit chipset that is compatible with OS 9, using the drivers linked to on the page. This eBay search currently finds several quite reasonably-priced cards with that chipset.

The 9600 has 10BaseT Ethernet built in. I'd like to speed up file transfers. Are there 10/100BaseT Ethernet PCI cards out there that are compatible with OS 9.2.2? I'd imagine there would have to be, but I have no idea what chipsets to look for, if any.

Mark me as officially interested. Thanks for your work!

Do you hate Linux or BSD more than you hate Windows 10? Just a thought.
