You've just found me a weekend project to do 😅

It’s possible I suppose. I am a bit ham-fisted and might’ve checked continuity incorrectly. I’ll check again out of curiosity. 

Funny enough, this did not end up being the problem. Long story short: I randomly ordered a vintage Apple serial cable (with the actual Apple logo on the ends), figuring that it had a 5% chance of fixing the issue. Remember, I tested continuity of each of the pins on my first cable and it...

Ah yes, I should've mentioned that. AppleTalk is always disabled, and I've even tried booting with extensions disabled except the ones related to printing just to make sure there's nothing else trying to use the port.

So this is a weird issue that's taken me many months to diagnose. Picked up PowerBook 2400c from @JRL in February and it works really well aside from this issue; absolutely my favourite Mac ever despite the tiny keyboard. Ordered a StyleWriter 2200 shortly after that in almost mint...

I'd love to know this as well. For now, I stuck some small transparent bumpers (the ones you can put on the bottom of small furniture items) on those holes. Not really noticeable and it keeps the display from hitting the palm rest and trackpad (important to protect this).

To save you time, I'll reproduce this setup on the weekend and link to non-copyrighted files and provide a bit more detail. But for now: I tried 691-0924-K_MTP-PPC_12-98.iso, and I tried mounting a .img of that created with DiskCopy 6.2 when it was mounted in SheepShaver. These did not work...

I have the same card as you running under 7.6.1. I didn't even bother with any encryption since WEP is broken. I created a separate VLAN and DHCP server on my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, and created a separate wifi network (called 2400, speed limited to 3Mbps and with MAC address authentication)...

Just found this thread. This is so cool! Love that you’ve added the correct sounds, especially playing from the correct part of the case. 

Got mine yesterday evening and had it up and running in 30 mins with my Pi Zero. I did see an issue trying to freshly format a new blank disk with Lido (crashed before finishing formatting, and crashed on reboot), but no issues after a reboot with it unplugged. I did try other disk...

This is great! So this is separate from the regular RaSCSI web interface, correct? I recall seeing the regular one was written in PHP and wishing it was Python so that I could effectively contribute. I see this is Python + Flask which I use for Mosaicbin (Feedbin client for Vintage Macs). Are...

Ah, that makes sense! I ran into this issue yesterday so I pulled out my PDF copy of Mac Secrets 2nd edition. The solution: hold down Cmd-Opt-Shift-Delete after hitting power, and it ignores the internal drive (in my case, SD to IDE in my 2400c) until it boots off an external drive. (Of course...

That's awesome! I was on the fence for $70 but I have more money than time these days being busy at work, but $45 is great! Just ordered it. I have no problem booting the Pi before the Mac; I assumed this would be the case. I'm actually confused why this would be an issue; is there a situation...

After futzing about with my scsi2sd 5.5 for the past four hours and having slow writes, unreliable mounting, and disk errors, I've have enough of it. I heard about this project back in 2019 on HN and stumbled upon it again today. Progress looks absolutely amazing!! If I were to buy one (fully...

That is wild! Were you able to verify if the prototype Blackbird have a 68040 CPU? Looks like the screen is the usual 640x480 panel from the rest of the 500-series; is it the same grayscale screen as the 520?

This is great info! I didn't realize they used polymer caps in these. Curious how many of them are electrolytic. Thanks for the massive post; I got a 2400c a few months ago and have it working really well now (PRAM battery removed of course). 

Hey all, just thought I'd post and mention that I've released a massively improved version of Mosaicbin. I've been using this version with my PowerBook 2400c for the past few weeks and it's the first time I've felt like I can sit back use Mosaicbin without running to my MacBook to fix a bug of...

Funny, I picked up a MacSprint II a couple of years ago for $5 from an electronics shop. I didn't know what it was and the only info I found was from a MacWorld magazine clipping (I didn't save the issue number).

I ordered one a few weeks ago and started using it when I picked up a 2400c a couple of weeks ago. Moved and didn't bring any vintage stuff with me so it was just my 2400c and the SCSI2SD. I found it to be very flakey, but no different from what I've heard about other models. When it works...

That's great to hear! I caused a brief GLOD when I installed my SD to IDE adaptor; ended up just needing to reseat the CPU module and it was fixed. I replaced all the missing screws, picked up an Asante PCMCIA Ethernet card which works well in 7.6.1, and I've got a Japanese keyboard and a...
