Thanks a lot. BTW looking for a RC16A 68882, I found RC50A branded chips. I wonder how much legit they are, but in case, it could be that there were faster models in the end.

Maybe this brings us a bit OT, but: I have a 68881 installed in my Mac II, and a 68882 ready, that I would put once I can get PAL SIMMs and increase RAM over 8mb - BUT : it is a RC40A, so it should run at 40MHz (instead of the 68881 speed of 16Mhz). I guess that due to the system / bus speed...

I have had the 68851 PMMU ready for months while waiting for these PAL SIMMs, so today I wrote to Garrett on Tindie, to ask if some new batch would be coming anytime soon. Maybe @David Cook if you write too, we can make a bit of a pressure and maybe convince him? I even proposed to make 16MB...

Thanks @jeremywork that copy of the page with jumper settings brought back my card from the dead! It would be great if anybody archived the whole site... I have another 290 card that the app says is not functioning correctly, I get an error code 11 and I wonder what it stands for.

thanks for reminding me, the answer is not yet, as now I have ben dragged into having an internal 3.5" MO drive in my Mac II thanks to some of you guys :D

Italy Milan area here, so if you are traveling south we might even meet and test it in person. 😎

Indeed! 😂

I am specially interested in a Portable conversion 😇

I love LCD conversions of CRTs. I have components sitting in my garage to convert my Apple IIgs CRT (which takes a step more, with a PI zero doing HDMI conversion of RGB signals...) but I definitely need more time... and maybe a competent eye close to me, when I will open the CRT to discharge...

I am arriving late at the (thread) party, but so to say, there are at least a couple offers here on the board, for new IIfx SIMMs and I bought 128Mb from one with total satisfaction and reasonable price.

Here we go with some results: the Sony SMO-F551 worked with Disk Drive Tune-Up 3.41 out of the box, without even installing any extension, with both SCSI external enclosures - so it was definitely the first drive (Sony SMO-F541) which was somehow faulty. Anyone interested in getting it? ;) I...

thanks for all the support @Udo.Keller , @MrFahrenheit and @zefrenchtoon (btw your card is on the way! :D ) -I will spend some time on this tomorrow... meanwhile I got another scsi box and a SMO-F551, so now I will try all the possible combinations to see if it's the box, the drive or the...

yes black terminator for IIfx is plugged to the second plug of the scsi box with the MO drive.

Need to do this sooner or later....

After a more detailed check, here are the results with several formatters: Fujitsu MO Formatter: says device cannot be handled Pinnacle Formatter: does not recognize the device as removable MO TuneUp v. 2.06 (with its extension installed): does recognize the device but waits for media even if...

this is from the SMO F551 manual: any hint? :D thanks

Meanwhile I took the drive out of the enclosure and I am noticing two sets of dip switches at the end of it... everything was set ON and I couldn't find a manual online - I found the f551 manual which has its own switch infos and I am thinking about trying to fiddle a bit with them, but I am...

I will check the software version but I am quite sure I did and it said the drive is unsupported. I will let you know anyway.

these disks are double sided, so the max size is 1.3gb per side... it should be within limits, but I am installing 7.5 to give it a try anyway.

Hello everybody, I am fighting with a Sony SMO - F541 drive in an external SCSI enclosure: the drive is seen in the SCSI chain on my 7.1.1 IIfx (with the proper "black terminator"), but it seems to be unsupported: I tried all the software mentioned here in the thread to format some 2.6Gb disks...
