What are all these modes and stuff? I don't get it... Is there some sort of detailed, plain-english (no assembler) explanation as to how to use this thing?

Hi! I've been trying to decipher how the Mac interfaces with the Suprdrive floppy drive through the ISM part of the SWIM chip. I've almost got it, but I don't understand what the PH0 to PH3 lines are trying to do. In particular, when the drive is idle, they emit very brief pulses at a rate of...

To create a disk image from a floppy, you need to use Disk Copy 6.3 (I've got it and I can email it to you if you want it). However, Disk Copy 4.2 is fine for copying one floppy to another (although you can do that from the Finder) or for writing special format image files to floppies (although...

Or you could just grab some switches and do it yourself!

Have you checked your copy to make sure it's all in working order?

I think I found an OS 8 disk tools floppy in Apple's archives (or I can email it to you since I've got it downloaded).

The board which was disconnected was probably disconnected because the previous owner found that the CRT was not working, so for safety reasons they disconnected it.

With missing character boxes and stray apples everywhere!!!

Or use Conflict Catcher. If you're running System 7.5 or later, you've got the Extension Manager control panel, but I'm not sure if it will let you change the load order.

You could also try booting from a floppy to test it if you don't want to reinstall the system software.

I would be sure to copy the system disk first, so that you still have the original.

I've heard that sometimes the support material is made to be water soluble, or at least weaker, in order to make it easier to remove. Therefore it could fall apart with age. Are you sure that the model was not too large, so it added support material because it couldn't do it all in one go...

But why must the Pi go in a floppy drive enclosure?

Why do you want it similar to your raspberry pi?

It's probably the result of a reaction between the capacitors and the battery acid.

I'm just telling you not to worry that your code only runs on the SE/30. (Also, such checks are easy to do, and you would merely have to display an alert saying something like "This Macintosh does not support this software.".)

Yeah, that seems to work! But now I'm getting unexpected quit with error code 4 after about 30 seconds :( .

^ Most software doesn't work cross-platform anyway. They usualy find out what Mac they're running on and then execute the appropriate code. That goes particularly for software which uses low-level access to the hardware.

I'm running Basilisk II in full-screen, and the problem is that the mouse is moving to the edge of the (Macintosh) screen.

Hi! I've just gotten hold of Microsoft Flight Simulator 4 for Macintosh, and I'm running it on the emulator. I'm using the mouse yoke option, where the plane is controlled by the mouse. The problem is that I can only move the mouse so far (i.e. to the edge of the screen), where it then becomes...
