I think these restore images are pretty cool. What did your retro Mac actually come from the factory with vs. the Legacy Restore CD that can just give you the base OS for your retro Mac? While perhaps less interesting then the "Restoration CD for Market Software Series", which I think is all...

I see the Volume 2 & 3 Restoration CDs for Market Software are on Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-restoration-cd-market-software-series-june-1994 @Realitystorm Sounds like you are saying you can't find Volume 6 anywhere but are any of the others available somewhere?

So I need to make a correction, the Ableconn mSata to IDE adapter does work in a Lombard! My mistake was not double checking the jumper, like many other Macs of this generation IDE hard disks need to be set to Master, which for this adapter is nothing connected/no jumpers on either 45-46 or...

Yeah, In my test above I clicked "Ignore" after inserting a blank CD-R into my USB attached Apple Super Drive before running that command in the Terminal app to burn the .toast file to CD. I think the "hdiutil" command line utility must look for an unmounted burnable CD in an attached CD-R/W...

On this advice I picked up this 16GB Yansen IDE SSD and it works well in my Lombard :) Thanks! Yansen 16GB 2.5-inch PATA/IDE 44-Pin SSD Solid State Disk (MLC Flash) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZWRJC72

Actually I can't seem to get Disk Utility (macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 on M1 MacBoon Pro) to open that image. Just a brief flash of something appearing and disappearing in the volumes list. :-/ However the command line tool still works: user_id@MacBook-Pro-M1 ~ % hdiutil burn...

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use Disk Utility on an Apple Silicon Mac to burn an ISO on a CD in a USB attached SuperDrive. Mac OS 9 cd images on Macintosh Garden

I guess we just need to agree to disagree

Why does it offend you so much that anyone could find this useful? I don't get it. I totally agree it's completely non-compliant with how Ethernet devices are required to have unique MAC address. And it's not like anyone is arguing that it would not be better if every unit had a unique MAC...

Yeah, it kinda is... This limitation is clearly stated on the page and this is a hobbyist niche product. Just don't buy it if it bothers you, there are plenty of folks that will be glad to live with this limitation and if it ends up in some future hands that person can google and find about...

I guess you are out of luck, you can't have two devices with the same MAC address on the same network. Don't think this is a problem for most folks but I guess if you are trying to outfit a lab or something it could be. Definitely glad this is out there even with this limitation vs. not out...

Totally agree these are awesome! Def performs faster than the Apple 10Mb CSII card too.

I haven't found an IDE mSATA adapter and card that will work in my Lombard, including that Ableconn that I use successfully in my 3400, Pismo, iBook G4 and Mac mini G4. There has got to be something about the IDE controllers used in the generation of machines between the 3400 and the Pismo...

I recall my high school computer science teacher getting a 5300/100 in 1995 when we were learning to program in his class using Turbo Pascal on Classic II's. We were all amazed. I'd love to find a reasonable 5400 (dreamworld be a black 5500)

Curious, what's the downside of the AFP server functionality? Do you have another solution for that or just prefer sneaker net? Years ago I setup a Raspberry Pi sever running MacIPRpi (which has many useful features) and quickly found it to be instrumental in how I work with my retro Macs on my...

Sure, other than the somewhat unique (cool IMHO) way it connects to and is powered by one host via AAUI it’s just an Ethernet hub. I wonder if Asante manufactured this for Apple, it’s a lot like their “NetEXtender 5 Port Hub“ just with AAUI instead of AUI: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384211894460

Interesting. Probably a case style available for PCs too, not that any of those would be easy to find either.

64... 68 pins, whatever it takes... yeah, I didn't look close enough

Wild guess, "GWorld" SIMMs? https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/64-pin-4mb-simms-for-apple-display-card-8-24-gc.42396/post-468337
