Well it sure ain't pretty, but here is my Asante Micro EN/SC to 50-pin SCSI adapter. I haven't tried it out yet, and the chances are high that I've stuffed up my wiring! I'll give it a go in the next few days and report back :)

Great, thanks for the info. I'm super keen to know if my wifi extension works with the VAR11N-30. If you get a chance, please download the extension and try it out on your SE/30? Stuffit File of extension is here: https://github.com/antscode/MacWifi/releases/download/v1.0/MacWifi.sit Cheers.

I just stumbled across this thread - but I thought I'd mention that I recently upgraded the ROM in my Turbo 040. I've got a few PLCC32 rom chips left (they came in a pack of 5), and I have a programmer - so if anybody needs a 4.11 ROM I'd be happy to send you one. All you'd need is an extractor...

Good question - I don't know. A while back I tried to get AppleTalk working between my two Mac's over wifi, but to no avail. From what I understand, modern routers do not forward the extra packets that AppleTalk sends over TCP/IP. So the problem might be solved by using an AirPort router which...

Cool, I wonder if it's the same firmware? You could try the wifi extension and see if it works. I haven't compiled a PPC version yet though - do 68k extensions work on a PowerPC?

It’s with great relief I can say that the first release of the MacWifi Extension is available. You can download it here: https://github.com/antscode/MacWifi/releases In the interest of getting something out the door, the extension has been stripped back to basics. You can view available...

I've got a few Retro68 projects on GitHub, which include the Visual Studio project files (.vcsproj). If anything, you can just grab the project file, delete all my files and then add your own. Also, check the Properties of the project in Visual Studio, as there's probably a few hard-coded folder...

Here's an example of what I get in Visual Studio: Toolbox functions are identified by the IDE, function parameters are shown, variable highlighting etc... possibly better than any original Mac IDE??!

By and large, code completion and other refactoring tools work well in Visual Studio. The only thing I've struggled to get working are some of the standard C++ classes (such as std::string) - but I haven't really invested much time in trying to fix the issue. In Visual Studio you just specify...

I use Visual Studio on a PC, but I managed to connect the Build button in my IDE to trigger a Retro68 build. I've never used Codelite, but below are the commands I run when I build from Visual Studio: cd $(ProjectDir)$(Configuration) <-- Move to your build directory (you might need to do...

I remember also banging my head against a brick wall when I first attempted to get data from my PC to my Mac. I also got an Apple CD 300 - can you confirm that the second SCSI port on the back of the Apple CD has a terminator on it? If there's no terminator, the drive simply won't work - no...

Update: The wifi extension is now feature complete. It's running well under emulation, but on my real SE/30 it's got a few issues that I'm working through. Hopefully I'll have a first release in the next few weeks, time permitting...

The issue with Cloud 7 is that it's HTTP only (no SSL) - over the web your data would be unencrypted. Although perhaps there might be a way of setting up a https proxy on your network...

Thanks for sharing @Trash80toHP_Mini, it's amazing what people are still able to achieve with an ancient computer.

Don't sweat it... It's all just a bit of fun. I actually figured out the http commands for connecting last night - was pretty straightforward. That said, the more is use the VM300 the more I realise how flaky it is. Who would have thought for a $25 device! ;) I'm keen to hear your...

Small update: I've been teaching myself Apple Events - so that the Wifi menu can send requests to the background application that does all the heavy lifting. Things like connecting to a new network or refreshing the list of networks can now be sent from the menu to the background app...

Great to see you got it working. I love the theme on your powerbook - what do you use to do that?!

@bibilit thanks for your input. I don't think it's been mentioned on this thread yet, but development of a Wifi extension is now underway: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54476-wifi-extension-development-thread/

@olePigeon your summary of the project is spot on. Thanks for the offers of help with devices & testing, inevitably this project will need a heap of testing. I've made a start on the password dialog, it just doesn't do anything yet...  

@CC_333 I knew somebody was going to ask that :p   The functions provided by the toolbox in System 7 only allow for a single icon on the left (which I assume is the same for OS 8 and 9). However, I believe it's possible to write a custom Menu Definition (MDEF) which would allow for whatever...
