Those are the largest simms the 650 will accept, and the speed is plenty fast. Looks like you should be good to go.

It's my understanding that the 250mb drive is significantly slower in dealing with 100mb disks. I don't recall whether that was reading or writing or both. Just FYI

It seems like it was for both. Problem is I'm too lazy to google at the moment. The other file format is MOOF. There's an applesauce discussion going on in the Peripherals section.

There are a couple of image file types from the Applesauce drive interface that would allow for copy-protected disks. WOZ and another newer one that escapes me at the moment... Would be very cool to have those supported on the front end.

I seem to recall Apple in the late 80s/early 90s touting ADB as capable of being more than just an interface for keyboards and mice, that it could be used for scanners and other devices. Apparently Global Village took them at their word.

Seems like somebody here designed some sort of 3d printed clip to help hold the rom simm in place...

In addition to the roms and the drive, you'll need a SWIM chip to replace the WIM

I've been scratching my head trying to remember what Apple called the official testing software for repair providers. ServiceSource? AppleTest? It's been too long and my brain is in a cloud at the moment. I'll keep thinking and if I remember I'll let you know.

The old Apple service test software used what they called a "serial loopback cable" which you would plug one end into each serial port, but I couldn't tell you how it was wired. Perhaps it was just a plain null-modem cable but i honestly don't know.

Is the SSID and password information stored on the Mac, or on the AirTalk dongle itself? It would be really handy if it could be configured on a mac and then plugged into a remote LaserWriter or something.

This is fantastic! I've often wished Gibson had written some of his excellent software for those of us on the Mac side of the fence.

File transfer over ADB? Never heard of such a thing. ADB is Apple Desktop Bus and is the connection for keyboards and mice from the Mac SE up till USB took over on the iMac. I have no idea what possible use that cable might have.

I believe the bezel you're using for a zip drive was originally intended for a tape drive. Nice work though making it all fit!

A null modem cable, perhaps? Plugs into your modem cable and the other end plugs into another computer.

Thanks for that link. I've got a Flower Power iMac which I adore but the inside bezel is all broken up and I don't dare mess around with it until I get a new inner bezel.  Now at least I have some options.

Some models of the SCSI2SD are over $100, and all the ones I've seen on ebay are similarly priced, but go to Inertial Computing's website  https://store.inertialcomputing.com/SCSI2SD-s/100.htm and they start at like $60.  It's not the fastest model, but should be fine for a 7500.

I'd probably be interested in probably a half dozen sets. After all is said and done, you might be wishing you'd ordered more  :)

The simms on that memory card look like 256K simms, which I don't think will work.  You're going to want a pair of 1mb simms on that card.  You can try removing the 256k simms and reinstalling the card, which will give you 2mb to play with which is the minimum for system 7.

Seems like I hear a lot about people having a dead Egret chip?

Seems like the IIfx is very particular about SCSI devices, and required special terminators internally and externally.  Maybe they were active terminators or something, all I remember is at the time it was something special.
