Meanwhile I took the drive out of the enclosure and I am noticing two sets of dip switches at the end of it... everything was set ON and I couldn't find a manual online - I found the f551 manual which has its own switch infos and I am thinking about trying to fiddle a bit with them, but I am...

I will check the software version but I am quite sure I did and it said the drive is unsupported. I will let you know anyway.

these disks are double sided, so the max size is 1.3gb per side... it should be within limits, but I am installing 7.5 to give it a try anyway.

Hello everybody, I am fighting with a Sony SMO - F541 drive in an external SCSI enclosure: the drive is seen in the SCSI chain on my 7.1.1 IIfx (with the proper "black terminator"), but it seems to be unsupported: I tried all the software mentioned here in the thread to format some 2.6Gb disks...

I missed this, now I am reading it and I think this would be the best news for the new year @WillJac @warmech TashTwenty Mega will be a huge it :D

That would be great for soldering-impaired like me 😎

Maik actually answered, and shared this interesting link where pinout of the 9pin plug is explained: http://longview.be/mirograph-chroma-v33a.html

Hi everybody, I bought a dead IIfx for parts, and I found a few cards inside, among which a Miro Prisma Plus video card. I found old threads where @Bolle shared drivers archived on Maik site mirosupport.com (I found the site before the threads, so I wrote Maik myself and I am curious to see if...

Answering to myself but it might be useful for other users: on Mac Garden there are images of the MS-DOS C: drive file (10 or 20 megs) already set up, so that solved the drive issue - but what really did the trick was using System 6 (6.07 to be precise, the last localized version AFAIK) because...

This is great but when the hardware will be ready (and I would gladly buy a PowerBook unit, plus the possible Portable version!) I will need some clear instruction because I am a bit lost now 😅 - why the Linux PC now? 🤨🤔

I tried with a similar button battery holder, the one keeping batteries horizontally /parallel to the logic board, and my IIfx would not power up, while oldstyle batteries worked. I thought it was because button batteries in fact provide a little less power, but your experience seems to prove me...

Hi everybody, I am kind of crossposting this from another thread, so sorry if I am breaking some rule - I got one of the excellent Mac286 replica cards made by @max1zzz and I am trying to figure out how to make it work. Max was so kind to add in the package the Mac software disks and even the...

BTW it seems we all missed this. I think one of my cards has an oscillator which detached... should I change it? with a faster one maybe?

Some little update, while still waiting for the TransDrive card. First of all, you may want to watch the official PC Transporter install video, distributed on a VHS (!) together with the card and now available on Youtube: The same user has a video showcasing how to install Windows 3 on a...

Hi, unfortunately no FDHD controller here... but as I wrote, a TransDrive daughter card coming soon. the colorSwitch output seems to work, but the IIGS video-out processing / switching seems not to... I will need to look into that more. Meanwhile I tried with two different output cables in...

I confirm that the screen connection seems to be the biggest issue - as usual with the IIGS. As I wrote in previous posts, the connection cable between IIGS video-out and PCT ColorSwitch daughter card seems not to work - so I had to connect the two video ports to two different cables - and two...

So far: I connected an Apple 3.5" drive to the card I think the short cable to connect the IIGS video-out to the ColorSwitch daughter card has some issue, because I can't see anything once the card kicks in, so I am trying to connect two separate monitors, one to the IIGS video card (for...

I wish I had one to test it... but if you do, please share your experience :D

Just FYI, I created a specific thread in the Apple II section, where I am going to describe the process of setting up a PC Transporter card in my ROM03 Apple IIGS. The thread is here and in the main post I linked here as well...

Hi everybody, I just made it to acquire the holy Grail of 16 years old me, the Applied Engineering (AE) PC Transporter card for PC compatibility on Apple IIe / IIGS. The card I got seems to be a rev. D, looking like this: I am setting it up in a ROM03 IIGS, and it's a learning process that I...
