BTW, let me say that both SCSI2SD devices work fine. I can configure them with the SCSI2SD-util6 program, and use them in my vintage Macs. So I know my USB cable works. That's how I configured the devices. They just won't update the firmware.

Wow! Thanks Jessenator. Awesome info. I've emailed Herb to ask if he has one available. :)

I'm interested in upgrading the CPU of my Performa 630CD from the LC CPU to the full-floating-point-capable functionality of the standard 68040 cpu. Also, I see there are ways to move some resistors around on the motherboard to increase the Mhz from 33 to 40. So if I did both, I could go from a...

I can't get either of my SCSI2SD v6 boards (one is rev F and the other is 2020d) to update the firmware. In both cases, I get an error message "firmware update failed". That's not a very descriptive or helpful error message. The log isn't that helpful either: scsi2sd-util6 log: 20:08:43...

What do you charge? Do you want me to provide the caps? I'd like to have it done with polymer tantalum caps. Would you do the analog board and power supplies as well?

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm in the USA, Western Pennsylvania (Sharon) about 1/2 way between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Oddly enough, my Mac SE/30 is missing all its caps. That's how I got it via eBay. To make it even stranger, it boots up just fine, only problem is no sound. But I'm sure...

I have a pair of old Macs - an SE and an SE/30 that need recapped - logic boards, analog boards, and power supplies. I was going to do them myself, but I haven't done much soldering in years. I pulled out some things to practice on, and frankly, I just can't see well enough anymore to do a good...

I kinda wish they would just integrate the display mod, the speaker mod, and the encoder mod into a new model and sell it complete. But for $30, one can hardly argue with the results.

Bummer. I kinda expected that was the case, but since I saw some comments on them in my searches, I was a little hopeful. That's OK. It'll be a useful tool in my retro-computing toolbox, just not for my Mac SE.

I did some searching, but didn't get much finding... So does anyone have experience with the GOTEK Floppy Emulators and the spiffy FlashFloppy firmware for them? GOTEK: GOTEK Floppy Emulator @ Amazon Firmware: FlashFloppy Wiki I just purchased one (not delivered yet), but I'm interested to...

Thanks Fizzbinn! Well, that's unfortunate for me. I don't think OSX 10.2 won't run on an Intel-based Mac Mini. :(

So what is the latest version of OSX that supports AFP over AppleTalk?

That should be the retro-computing mantra! The cable is cheap, so 'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work, I won't sweat it. It would be nice to have a way to grab files from the Mac Mini to the Mac SE electronically. But sneaker-net works too. Jeremy: thanks for the tips on AppleTalk/LocalTalk...

Yeah, I kinda figured AppleTalk would be a no-go. Oh well. I'll try it out, just for giggles. Maybe I can use it as some sort of serial connection. I just bought a Mac mini with OSX 10.5 on it just as a transitional device - a device that can read/write HFS and also get on a modern network and...

I was digging around on the Internet and found these relatively inexpensive USB to 8 pin MiniDIN cables... like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Letotech-chipset-Serial-Adapter-FT-817/dp/B07HSQ1L9V And I thought to myself: I wonder if I can do AppleTalk or LocalTalk over one of those cables...

I just tried out two of your MACE executables for Windows. Both had a very high pitch whine over my speakers while playing, and a very loud pop when I ended the games. (Missile and Gunshy). I realize tracking down issues like this can be difficult. Perhaps you'd consider a key command to mute...

Jeff, if you're still around, I just wanted to say thanks! I'm definitely going to give this a go.

I realize this is a VERY old thread, but I just wanted to thank you for pointing out CiderPress. That program has saved my sanity!
