whoops sorry my bad... I should have checked the thread before :(

Not directly related but can you check the card’s firmware number? There is a specific thread looking for a dump of v. 1.1.2 rom…

Might be useful to others: I managed to properly setup the Apple Ethernet CS twisted pair card ( = rj45 ethernet for the comm slot of the Performa 630) and surf the web with Nescape 2.01. How? I switched to MacOS 7.6.1 and manually moved the Apple Ethernet CS extension (from the Apple Talk...

After some contact and slot cleaning, the card now shows up in TattleTech: (interesting board name BTW... EtherNet hack?!?) now I just need to figure out how to install drivers. NSI 1.4.5 offers to install Ethernet Comm Slot Card drivers, but then the installer says it cannot replace the...

More questions: is there a modern battery model model that we can use in the Performa 630, or should I connect a button battery to the logic board pins? In this case, any idea of the + and - pins position?

Thanks for the advices. I tried the IDE2SD on a beige G3 (IIRC) and it worked flawlessly, being only a bit slow when booting (and it was a different model from Aliexpress, while the one I am trying, comes from Amazon). I will try the CF2IDE and let you know!

Hi guys, I am tinkering with a 630 DOS compatible... I added an ethernet card in the comm slot, but it doesn't seem to be recognized... do you have any experience with it? Also, I am trying to replace the IDE HD with a IDE2SD card, but it shows up on the Drive Setup utility only from time to...

Yes it's a torn connector! Thanks to the pics on FB I finally got it :D I also have another card revision with a daughter card for RAM, but I never managed to make it work... so at least 3 different models are out there. Now how to make it work: connected video and disks seems to be needed in...

I would say also the video cable is different... If you have the ColorSwitch daughter board, usually there is a male cable from the card to the IIGS video port, and then a second port on the daughter card to plug the screen to. I have never seen this female db15 cable solution. The docs I...

Hey I am arriving late at the party (as usual...) but... I am super interested in this! Can you tell more? batteries specs, what did you solder and to what, what else was needed (3d printed spacers?) ...

@Roberto I confirm desoldering gun (this was most of the help I got) did the trick. And low profile sockets for sure in a IIc!

Hopefully piggybacking the RAM chips will identify the wrong one for sure. Then what are you planning to do? I had the same problem, and I personally went a bit further: with some help, I desoldered all original RAM chips, soldered sockets and installed new RAM on sockets... so it is fixed...

Back home and reading the messages on a wider screen I just figured out that your message @nottomhanks was not for me :D my ROM is 1.1.1 as shown in the pics I posted years ago... If anyone else ( @mousehouse ?) is able to dump the content of a 1.1.2 ROM , that will be useful for me too, I guess!

Hey, I am on holiday until the end of next week. Then once home I guess it’s finally time to unpack that eprom reader/writer and see how it works…

Found a simple way to prepare disk images for the usb drive to plug in the Gotek: Using WinImage (on Parallels with my Mac) you simply drag and drop in the window the DOS files inside the zipped directories which many abandonware files will give you as "disk images". Then you can save them as...

Yes I understand that hardware-wise it would be impossible to introduce such an improvement with the actual card... but maybe with the knowledge you gathered about its signals and communication, maybe someone could come up with some complementary module / PCB / Pico / whatever, doing the job? I...

@LaPorta please could you check if the images are preserved online somewhere already? otherwise... it would be great to upload them ;)

This is great news! Please post article's links here in this thread too @Arbee once published - what you mentioned is far beyond my skills so I cannot offer to contribute, but if any kind of beta testing or similar should be needed, I would be glad to help. Meanwhile... can I start dreaming...

Well the PC Transporter is obviously a device designed back then, and so relying on hardware and components available at that time, while the ESP32 if I understand correctly is based on new technologies (Raspberry Pico, wifi...) . Anyway it could be that using the ESP32 card PC emulation layer...
