Not to hijack, but this is my favorite:

$50 can get you 100 tacos at Jack in the Box.

Interesting. I can usually swap around drivers and still read the disks. I'm currently trying to track down a memory leak.

Dumb question, but do you have a good battery? My Centris 610 won't display much without a battery.

@lostkerbal I do not, sorry. If I remember correctly, it was pretty large, and it's supposed to be attached firmly to where the neck of the CRT is.

No solder mask with gold traces does look really cool. My dad has an unpopulated PCB memory board from an old mainframe. Looks really neat.

Is it because they don't have a mask?

I love this kind of digital archeology. :) Nice job.

@lostkerbal I don't know if this one has a similar insides as the AppleColor High Resolution display, but mine had a similar issue that was caused by a large coil being loose. The plastic became super brittle and it broke free from the bracket. I repaired the plastic bar with some super glue...

@beachycove Maybe the LaserWriter doesn't do it. I don't know. Or maybe it was unique to the business line of HP LaserJets. The only time it'd be useful is if you had multiple people printing large documents. It'd spool the print job to the printer and store it there. I don't know if it was...

@slomacuser Unless I missed it, it's everything except the 24AC. :D Thank you anyway. Archiving ROMs for cards I have.

@beachycove A little bit of both. When you set up the printer options on the client to indicate it has a HDD installed, then presumably it'll flag that option as it prints. Then depending on the size of the document, it'll store the print job and do copies. I'm not certain, but it might be...

I forgot which one I have, but it's the original Radius version of the card that Apple licensed. I was going to swap the ROMs so I wouldn't need additional drivers.

@Melkhior Could you also mix in an LC PDS slot? You could use that slot for ethernet. LC PDS ethernet cards can still be had for just $15. Although I guess you could just integrate ethernet onto the motherboard. However, having a //e Card inside a II-style machine would be cool.

Would it be possible to make the NuBus slots 40 MHz? They could slow down 1/4 speed to 10 MHz or 1/2 speed to 20 MHz for NuBus 90. This would give it PCI speed & bandwidth for any new cards designed to take advantage of it.

@willmurray461 Well with no one posting links, would you mind posting the AC ROM?

It did as I predicted. :) I'm guessing the disk header tells the drive to just ignore the other head when it thinks it's a single sided. Whichever platter is face up, that's the side it reads. So this would require some low level floppy hacking to make a double-formatted disk. Or design a...

@willmurray461 Ah, thanks. Although I'm pretty sure it's already been dumped. I was wondering if someone had all the ROMs stored someplace. I just recently picked up a ROM programmer (for arcade ROMs), so I can finally dump and program other ROMs. I was keen on installing the Apple ROM on my...
