    DIY Localtalk - Ethernet converter

    So as soon as I came home, I grabbed a OS9 machine and a Leopard machine and my Linux laptop to act as hallway monitor. Fired up Wireshark --- and......a TON of packets from my wife on the LAN, because she's doing homework. And it's too much to sort through. So I brought out a old dd-wrt...

    ADB to USB adaptor

    Exactly. I dont have a really nice ADB mouse/keyboard, and right now I live in a condo and only have so much room. So the thing I would like to do is cut down on redundant mice and keyboards, and just hook a USB keyboard/mouse to whatever computer i'm using at the moment (which I do with my PC...

    ADB to USB adaptor

    https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0 Oh my! There's a shield for the arduino already made (I'm going to proto mine) but this makes my goal a bit more reachable.

    DIY Localtalk - Ethernet converter

    The wirehark logs make the bitstream look a little cryptic, but it certainly follows *a* pattern that I can see. I just need to do more research on what each "message" across the ethernet wire looks like, document those, and then move onto the serial side to see what the serial side looks like...

    ADB to USB adaptor

    I need the ability to plug in one keyboard and one mouse into a device, and on the other side, emulate two ADB devices (a mouse and a keyboard). I have breadboards and three Arduinos available so I'm going to try and see if I can get this to work. The way I see this working is one arduino...

    DIY Localtalk - Ethernet converter

    I have a EtherPrint ethernet-to-localtalk bridge that seems to work well enough to netboot my IIGS from and connect to a netatalk share I have locally. I'm not sure what the traditional baud rate of the serial side is -- I assume 230K -- but I'm pretty sure I could emulate this functionality in...

    Any way to install OS 9 on an Aluminum Powerbook?

    So I was looking for a way to boot OS9 on my Powerbook. The Hardware Test CD is a OS9-looking environment, and it appears to load the same way as OS9, but alas it's simply a script that just launches some OSX-like loader. Not entirely sure why it looks like OS9, but I assure you it's not OS9. I...

    Macintosh Portable - No Sound?

    I'm just now beginning on this --- strange how life seems to get in the way of important things like recapping Mac Portable caps. I just got married and my wife is encouraging me to fix the stuff in our storage unit.

    I'm really excited!

    Because the only front panel I've seen on ebay is $85 bucks I have plenty of time. Are you saying to glue the cracks together, straighten out the vents and then sandpaper/emory board the roughness out?

    I'm really excited!

    Well it (according to the guy who sent it to me for free) wasn't like that when he sent it, but I don't know anymore. It was a major bummer seeing it all cracked up. Most of the damage is in the front though, the back of the unit is still pretty OK. I looked on ebay for a SE/30 front, and...

    I'm really excited!

    I made a Network Access disk using my 1400cs (I love that machine, too bad its battery is dead) and got the SE/30 to boot from it. Once there, I dragged the HD's extensions folder to another area, and rebooted from HD. Once *that* booted up, I was able to go into the Memory control panel, enable...

    Well the problem i'm having now is I can't even get it to boot.....

    I'm really excited!

    Is there a special way to zap the PRAM on this guy? Every other machine was apple+option+P+R but this chump just ignores it I've tried doing the four finger salute as soon as I turn it on, after it beeps, after the screen comes up, etc no dice...

    I'm really excited!

    It was ... the unit was in two layers of bubbles and the box around the unit was filled with peanuts. Must have been dropped really hard. It's just the front that is bad though. I accidentally turned off 32-bit memory addressing, and now the machine wont boot though. :/

    I'm really excited!

    So I was trolling my email box, when a email popped up saying free SE/30 and LC to a good home. Usually I miss these and hit my head against a wall, but I got really excited and replied as quick as I could and sure enough, I was the first to reply. $60 and a few weeks later a SE/30 arrived at my...

    3D models of mac plastics

    Ya know, this is something I want to do someday. I went to a local conference and went to a Kinect seminar where the host (he works for Microsoft) was talking about leveraging the new API for Kinect, and that by using it, you can somewhat get a 3D model of an object in space. The example was...

    Booting OS9 on newer (unsupported) macs Part II

    I already looked at that image --- the AHT-BootInfo (the only Mac OS ROM-ish file on that CD) script does boot, but its a smoke-and-mirrors trick. It executes a file called 'exec' and that file is coded in Objective-C which came from Next which means its not what we're looking for. It only...

    Booting OS9 on newer (unsupported) macs Part II

    Problem #2: There's a script that gets executed to determine whether or not to continue loading the ROM into RAM, or just puke all over itself. So there's still some digging, but at least I can test this on the new powerbook. I accidentally changed the COMPATIBLE section of the chrp-boot...
