@jibsaramnim Do you have VRAM installed? If so, try removing it. For some reason on the Color Classic, having VRAM installed can conflict with some LC PDS cards. For example, you can't use the IIe card with VRAM installed.

I feel like with 3D printing and homebrew hardware being so affordable these days, that we could actually make functional versions of these design studies. Also ... that would have to be an 8 cm Mini-CD version of the CD 300, wouldn't it?

It was one of the very few games with cross-platform networking. You could actually play Mac vs. PC with Armor Alley. :)

Interesting. I always associated them with crapy quality neon colored 3.5" disks.

I didn't know Imation made 5 1/4 disks.

https://armor-alley.net/ Someone made a browser based, fully networked version of Armor Alley / Rescue Raiders. :)

If you can find one, there are DE-9 PhoneNet adapters, too. Easier and cheaper.

I have the 3.2.6 firmware on my website. It's solved a lot of the finicky issues with my FWB cards, including making one resume working with my IIci. I had one that would work fine, and another that wouldn't. Then when talking to other people, they had identical issues, but when put into...

10px could just be the capture card not getting the porch or some other variable correct. You'll want to see it on a real monitor.

Excellent job as always. A loss for the NeXT forum for sure.

Hmm. Sound issues are almost always capacitors on an LC, but you've already recapped. Did you already try zapping the PRAM?

Your system is missing icons and stuff. Are you sure it isn't corrupted? Have you done a clean install of System 7 for the LC?

There's an incompatibility with the 8600 & 9600 for some reason. CPU won't run faster than 100 MHz or something like that. I can't quite remember what the limitation was. Would be cool if someone could somehow update it and patch it to run G4s and G5s. Haiku just isn't the same. :(

Not to throw another wrench into things, but I've successfully swapped 800K heads into HD drives on numerous occasions to fix troublesome HD drives. They appear to work fine. Perhaps the heads are different, but are engineered with tolerances that make them compatible. Happy accident if...

What if you did something like this? https://www.tindie.com/products/ttdesign/apple-desktop-bus-adb-optical-mouse-retro-board/

But not the original LaserWriter.

The fact that you're even investigating is good enough for me.

While not Apple, it's really hard to go wrong with a HP LaserJet II/IIIP or 4M (regular IIs & IIIs and 4s can be upgraded to a "Macintosh" edition by adding a PostScript module and JetDirect card with AppleTalk.) I recommend them because not only were they ubiquitous and often used with Macs...

@zigzagjoe What about doubling as a RAM card for a RAM disk? Daystar (and a few other companies) used to make the Daystar RAM PowerCard that offered (I think) 128MBs of RAM disk space. I don't mean to pigeonhole, but I am a pigeon.

@zigzagjoe Could a PDS splitter work in a IIci? Or do you think it's better to just stick with NuBus?
