    PowerBook HDI-30 to CN-50 adapter

    I haven't played with the HFS driver in Linux, but I would have thought they would have figured out resource fork handling. Pretty straight forward to present them to the OS as "._" files I'd think.

    Help needed getting A2SCSI card visible on Apple IIgs

    FWIW, here is the original end user manual for the card: https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/hardware/storage/disks/AppleIISCSICard.pdf Apple's description for setting the SCSI ID is pretty terrible. They call it "priority" and say nothing about it needing the ID to...

    Help needed getting A2SCSI card visible on Apple IIgs

    I don't know what GGLabs changed on the card that required a change in the driver. Apple's cards are pretty straight forward, they expect drives to be partitioned with a valid Apple Partition Map. I would try the following: -Install the SCSI card in Slot 7. -Set a blank (zeroed out) 40MB image...

    Definitive listing of Beige G3 models/features?

    The "Wings" A/V card supports an external TV tuner adapter. ATI sold it as an option for their cards (ATI XClaimTV) and connects via the S-Video input with extra pins. I have one of these boxes as it came with my XClaimVR 128 card. The manual clearly states that the Beige G3 is supported...

    Transwarp GS: how to remove WD65C816 CPU from this deep socket?

    That full size crystal with the bent legs IS the original part shipped with the card. I was able to push my card to 12Mhz. Anything above that was a crap shoot, but I haven't upgraded the power supply yet.

    Transwarp GS: how to remove WD65C816 CPU from this deep socket?

    6.25Mhz points to an earlier card I think. The GAL set installed is a good indication as well (more rev A parts = earlier card). A better date would be the ROM revision if you had the original 8k cache card. The 32k cache upgrade was offered separate and usually came with v1.8. What GALs is RE...

    Transwarp GS: how to remove WD65C816 CPU from this deep socket?

    You should be able to lever is out slowly with a pick or hook style tool. At least that is what I did on my card, but I think mine has a more traditional style PLCC socket with slots on the sides for the extractor tools. I would be prepared to replace the whole socket though because the...

    AS/400 Connectivity

    None of this is a surprise. Tons of "green screen" applications are in use today. I use a TN3270 session daily at work along with many other IBM CICS applications that were, ahem, "upgraded" to a web interface. A well designed 3270 or 5250 terminal application is WAY easier to work when than a...

    AS/400 Connectivity

    Surprised Apple didn't have a Twinax solution as that was the most common way to connect 5250 terminals at the time. Today all this stuff is obsolete with the advent of TN5250 gateways so not surprised this stuff got tossed. The client performance quoted is pretty terrible. These are block...

    Netbooting a IIgs (ROM01) using Netatalk 4.x a2boot/atalkd with AsanteTalk LocalTalk to ETH Bridge

    I'll try to respond the best I can here and on the github issue request. To put it simply, I don't have an AsantéTalk bridge to do actual testing of the various Netatalk services. The only AppleTalk "bridge" solution I have ready access to is Apple's LocalTalk Bridge running on a Mac. The rest...

    Checkmate Retro LCD Monitor

    A lot of those Dell monitors have GENESIS "Display Perfection" video processors in them. Seems that supporting down to 15khz is an undocumented feature of them. Believe it or not, I have TVs that support 15khz, but only via the HDMI port. This is mostly only available when using something like...

    Duplicating a file with a resource fork won’t produce an exact copy

    AFP has a function called FPCopyFile that can duplicate a file 1:1... well at least it should. Its dependent on the server's file copy routines, which at least with Netatalk DOES produce an identical file. What I see here is a Finder bug..... and there are MANY. Not surprised there are bits of...

    Apple IIe Card: An Apple IIe INSIDE my Macintosh LC475!

    Does the drive work on a real Apple IIe 5.25" card or IIgs? I'd rule out if the drive is working first if you haven't tested it elsewhere.

    Apple IIe Card: An Apple IIe INSIDE my Macintosh LC475!

    The Apple IIe card only works with the later "Apple 5.25 Drive" (model #A9M0107). If you have the identical looking "Unidisk 5.25 Drive" (model #A9M0104), it will not work with the LC IIe card since the card doesn't output the required -12v on its 19pin connector.

    Disable NAT on MacIPGW?

    Either do the above, or implement proxy ARP in macipgw like the hardware MacIP routers do.

    recommend me a ... Printer

    These were so called "QuickDraw" printers. All the rendering was done on the machine itself and sent to the printer as a raster image. Generally no 3rd party drivers exist for these printers. The best printers to find are the ones that use Postscript and hopefully have Ethernet along with...

    Release of MacIPRpi 6.02

    The ImageWriter doesn't reply back as a plaintext papstatus response. It outputs 2 bytes, and the various bits need to be decoded to get the current status. The current versions of papstatus now decode this, but the output might not be what this script is expecting. Sending PostScript to an...
