    Made ROM SIMMs, wrote ROMdisk driver, need help debugging

    Congratulations on the ROM working. If I remember correctly, there was a way to set MacsBug settings, for instance I remember I had customized colors, some shortcut macros and panels on mine. It had to be some file in the System Folder, but I can't remember whether it was some text file or a...

    Made ROM SIMMs, wrote ROMdisk driver, need help debugging

    BTW, Norton Utilities although commercial, is a powerful utility pack and the company does not exist anymore. Edit: Apparently Norton still exists. Symantec Utilities for Macintosh is another set of powerful disk tools. Not all of them are useful though.

    Made ROM SIMMs, wrote ROMdisk driver, need help debugging

    Have you ever encountered any of the viruses it's supposed to protect against? Nevertheless any of them for the past 30 years or so. Also, I'd vote BBEdit Lite (freeware) to be included. TeachText is severly limited in text editing. For instance, it doesn't support a text file over 32kB in...

    Made ROM SIMMs, wrote ROMdisk driver, need help debugging

    Stuffit Expander does have an alternative: MindExpander. It's not open source, but it is Freeware IIRC. I used to use that in the late era Mac OS before moving on to Mac OS X. Seemed compatible enough and was less bloated than Stuffit Expander, and I can't remember having any issues with it either.

    LC 475 floppy disk controller issues

    I've cleaned the entire board with isopropanol after working it, it's spotless. Also no obvious shorts anywhere and I reflowed all the joints on the board (using hot air). I also did the rework on a anstitatic table surface and shouldn't have caused situations of static electricity. I'll try...

    LC 475 floppy disk controller issues

    No, definitely not. Like I said, I've primarily been using it with the FloppyEmu; you know, the device by Big Mess of Wires. There are no microswitches on it and the floppy drive itself is as dead, yet both did work before and both work with other Macs. I've therefore narrowed it down to either...

    LC 475 floppy disk controller issues

    Hi, I recently recapped my LC 475 that was having all kinds of stability woes and extremely unreliable SCSI before recapping. Now it boots solidly from a SCSI2SD (and HDDs), but the floppy disk controller no longer works. I used it extensively with FloppyEmu before recapping, so I know it did...
