I did the exact same thing with the second sound but failed to share! In fact, if I feed the extra byte through with the equation that I posted a ways back, it sounds even better. The uncompressed sound fades in amplitude at the end and converting this one without the extra byte does NOT fade...

I created a remarkable white noise generator with the integration approach, patents pending. Don't touch! :o) I have a feeling that this isn't terribly complicated, but also that they did something obscure that we might not easily think of. This is a real shame because it may very well be...

The best that I have been able to do with decompressing these sounds always results in a very high-pass sound. This makes me wonder if the data is stored in differential form, because when you differentiate a signal, it tends to high-pass it. This makes me think that maybe we want to...

I suppose we have both the compressed sample of the normal Quadra sound from this ROM and the raw form of the same sound from other ROMs. There may be some clues if we compare the two. It seems highly doubtful that this is a lossless compression so that may complicate things. We're not...

I packaged this data into a WAVE file, which can specify several different compressions, but I haven't had any luck playing it. Wave is little-endian, which may be a major issue with this approach. Being that this came form a Mac ROM, there's a really good chance that the data is big-endian...

Here's an excerpt from the manual: I think that's total BS, he could have added an extra window with some options that would allow you to specify all of these things and open these files. I guess I don't like this guy but he made a pretty cool sound app. I have to give him credit. Attached is...

It just so happens that this is PRECISELY where I trimmed the "snd " resource before. I saved it into a system 7 sound file and tried opening it in sndSampler, and I got an error (see attachment). I named this file "Secret Chime" - so that name didn't get extracted form anywhere. sndSampler...

I did try playing that sound resource in Resorcerer, but I was not exactly sure where to cut off the data. I'll see if I can use the info you posted to do that more accurately tomorrow. When I tried playing, the play button held down for a second, no sound, and in subsequent tries, the button...

Here's what the Resorcerer "snd " Template does to it. I know I've used something that extracts resources from Mac ROMs into a ResEdit file. Maybe that could extract this for us if we can find that program.

VERY COOL, maybe we can figure this out! I've taken each 15th bit, removed it from the audio, and used it as follows: output_audio = audio_data * (0x2C - 15th_bit) * 16 And as you can tell by listening to this: https://sites.google.com/site/benboldt/files/700_boot_beep.wav This is not the...

If you drop a Quadra 700/900 ROM file onto HexEdit and find this selection (approximately): 0xBE344 : 0xC342B This is a special sound that might be currently talked about in some sort of trivia thread elsewhere on this board. :-x I can't figure out the encoding of this sound. If you...

I guess I haven't seen a SCSI hard drive that specifically required Apple firmware to work on a Mac. I thought that all SCSI drives were totally cross-platform. Have you connected the drive with its original firmware and used "Apple HD SC Setup v7.3.5 (Patched)"? That's available here...

Okay, good info. Just a couple of ideas that popped to mind from that: Try the IIfx ROM Format the Jaz drive with different programs, i.e. HD SC setup, FWB hard disk toolkit, possibly a special program just for that type of drive I'm thinking that the hard disk drivers are not...

Definitely try booting from a floppy or CD just to verify for sure that it's not the OS doing it. If that's not easily available, take the back cover off, unplug the hard drive, turn on the Mac, and try moving the mouse when you see the question mark / disk icon. Also try unplugging the...

Have you tried booting from one of these drives manually by holding Apple+option+shift+delete at startup? The drives you mentioned may take too long at power-on and the Mac gives up looking for them, finding instead your internal hard drive. That key combo prevents booting from SCSI ID 0 for...

This is very confusing. It's unlikely that ALL of those parts are bad. The only common denominators are the power cord and the keyboard, but keyboard is unlikely because of no green light when you pull out the logic board. Remember that the logic board must be removed from the Mac for the...

It's only useful if the drive prevents the Mac from booting due to a corrupted hard disk driver, and it only works with SCSI. It is a rare opportunity for this trick to have a chance of doing something useful.

Try unplugging the power cable to the hard drive and booting the Mac from a boot disk that contains the hacked Apple HD SC setup program. Then once the Mac is booted, plug in the power cable to the hard drive. This prevents the Mac from loading the driver from the hard drive during boot (which...

This is parsed directly from a wnd# resource. I have done non-stretching parts of the top and bottom. Stretch regions are going to be tricky. Sides with 1 or 2 stretch regions should be possible. Because I can only split things in half proportionally in themes, I think that we're stuck with...

The analog board is also the power supply if I'm not mistaken. I guess I'm down to maybe 95% sure that the green light should turn on without a logic board... Could somebody verify this? I don't have a 5xx handy. Have you double-checked the connection to the board containing the power LED...
