To wrap this up - I ordered a SCSI model, works great - it came with a power adapter, and by that I mean a USB to barrel jack adapter lol. But that works! It does take 2A, I checked the adapter I do have.

I checked the RAM, and OWC's label matches what I ordered. I looked at the individual chips, which are labelled as 48lc32m16a2. There are 8 of them. From googling these are 512Mb chips, so 8 of them would make 512MB. I'll contact OWC to see if they have any ideas about it.

I'm really excited for this project! Do you think the 3D engine you've written here is something that would be reusable for other projects? If so, and if it was something you were interested in, I think it'd be a great boon for the community if you were able to open-source that portion of it...

I don't know C++ super well (far more familiar with memory-safe languages), but I could give it a go depending on the lift. Is there any estimated amount of hours/work it would take to accomplish this?

I just installed a 512MB RAM stick from OWC into my clamshell iBook. However, in Apple System Profiler, it's only showing the stick as 64MB (plus the 64MB built-in to the logic board, so 128MB total). I'm running Mac OS 9.2.2. Normally I'd assume that I got a mislabeled part, but since I assume...

Thanks - so there are some models that *do* do both? I'll be sure to check for the "Plus" and switch, in that case. As a side note, I've noticed a lot the drives listed lack PSUs - I'm assuming they're standard barrel jacks and not some goofy proprietary thing?

Sorry in advance if this isn't the right place to ask or if it's been answered elsewhere, but: Are there any plans to bring the SCSI Video Card into the main branch? I'd like to try the feature out but it looks like that branch is pretty far behind, and I don't want to lose out on recent &...

I recently got a USB Zip drive that came along with a bunch of other stuff, so I thought getting a SCSI one would be a good way to moving files between my SE/30 and modern machines. Unfortunately, it looks like SCSI Zip drives are relatively rare (at least to find working models). What's been...

Correct, what *should* happen is that the bleeder drains the charge immediately when the monitor is turned off. If that didn't happen, it will eventually discharge on its own, but there is no amount of time where you can guarantee that's happened. Sticking a grounded screwdriver under the anode...

Chiming in about the CRT discharge thing - "pulling the plug while the machine is running" seems *more* dangerous to me, because 1) I'm not sure it's actually any different from turning off the machine from the PSU, 2) it's still relying on the bleeder resistor, which *should* work, but...

Ah yeah, that would make sense since the OS 9 Disk Utility thought there was only 190GB or whatever on the disk. I guess that's the lesson here, lol

Leopard does seem like it should work, but when I try to resize any partitions in it I get the error message "MediaKit reports partition (map) too small". If I just try to add a partition in the empty space, I get "Filesystem resize support required, such as HFS+ with Journaling enabled", which...

How early? I was using Tiger's Disk Utility, and it told me I can't modify the partition table without deleting all the data on all my partitions. This may be an OS 9 driver thing, though.

The main thing I would recommend is planning out your partitions ahead of time - one of either APM/HFS+/Disk Utility doesn't support modifying partitions without wiping the drive, and since I made the partitions initially in OS 9, I'm stuck with about 80GB of unused space that OS 9 couldn't see...

I was able to solve this by just re-formatting the Tiger partition. Works fine now!

I have 128MB, so I don't think that's the issue :D

I found the problem with the DaynaPort drivers - I think it was trying to update AppleTalk or some other system software, and that's what was blocking it. I used a custom installation and only installed the driver for the device I'm emulating, and that worked without any issues. That said...

Yes - unless I'm mistaken, that's the only partition scheme available in the OS 9 disk partition utility.

I could try that - I already have them installed on my 7.5 drive, so I'd just need to find the correct files and copy them over I guess? I'm not sure if Mac OS drivers typically just place new files, or modifies system files, or does some other "hidden" things that wouldn't be visible in Finder...

Oh nice, thank you! That was the main appeal of OS 8 from my quick interaction with it (aside from the feeling of "doing something that shouldn't work, but does"), so that'll be great!
