Been looking to build this since I thought I had the right Discovery board.
Turns out the board I have has a 24MHz STM32F100 (128kb flash, 8kb RAM, 64 pin package). Is there a chance it'll work?
I need it, since I seem to have lost my last ADB mouse during my last move :( (
Depends on how much it relies on the specific features of the PSoC. If it's just bit-banging the GPIO, it should be doable, yeah. The STM32F4 core runs at 168MHz and has 80MHz GPIO...
The Mac SCSI controller would likely be significantly slower than this, though.
I did a quick speed test with a friend of mine with the STM32F4 with SD card connected using hardware 4-bit mode. We seemed to get 10 megabytes per second, DMA mode.
You can get these with ridiculous amounts of GPIO in reasonably easy-to-handle LQFP packages.
A few of the online retailers here list 4 and 8gb SATA SSDs, not cheap (certainly not for the amount of space) but not completely out of reach either. I would like to try this but I'm not sure I will ever get round to it...
I was once able to use my Sawtooth as a glorified external Firewire CD drive by shuffling the IDE cables about so the CD was on the first bus. Then connect by Firewire to other Mac with no optical drive, and start Sawtooth while holding T.
Hi all.
I recently found a beautiful near-mint Color Stylewriter 2200. It's got an ink cartridge in it, but I'm guessing it hasn't been used for several years.
I hooked it up to my Quadra and installed the software and attempted to print out some text. It seems to be working, the paper gets...
Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you add more HDs or fill every PCI slot. That makes it very quiet.
Since the later G3s suck less juice than the G4s (even clock-for-clock, as I understand), there's not going to be a lot...
I'm hoping to get one for the office - it all just comes together in the B&W: near give-away prices, low power consumption for teh quiet, ADB keyboard and optionally a serial port, runs OS9, Tiger and Linux... scrumptious!
