I was looking in the Read Me file for disk 1 for the Market Software Restoration CDs and it mentions the Apple Restoration CD User's Guide. Do you happen to have that in your collection too?

So, the Volume 6 software for the 640 DOS includes a PC Drive images with DOS, Windows and the SB drivers. I assume DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 since that is what it shipped with initially. Finally a copy of this directly from an Apple CD. The PC Drive image isn't mentioned in the readme...

Thanks! I'm downloading disk 6 now so I can see what they had for the 640, I will also update my site to link to your uploads shortly.

What manual is this image from?

I guess I should also mention the obvious, before someone else does, using eval this way isn't secure so only use it if you can ensure that the JSON text will only be provided by a trusted source.

It depends what you want to do. At it's most basic all you need to use is JavaScript's "eval" function to convert a JSON text string containing data structures back in to objects and arrays. var jsonString = '{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Smith"}'; var obj = eval('(' + jsonString + ')'); //...

Looks like there is some info on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/macworld00unse_eg8/mode/1up?q=%22Reply+dos%22

I update the html version of the TIL document to show your findings, and direct people to this discussion and your GitHub. I'm going to try to do the same for other articles if we find they are incomplete or incorrect. The PDF versions will be a pain though.

Interesting, another example of Apple's TIL articles about their own hardware being wrong.

The Macintosh portable does, but no mention of the PowerBook 100 https://savagetaylor.com/TIL/TA40360.html, and https://www.savagetaylor.com/TIL/TA44724.html

Thanks for uploading this, I added a link to the manual to the brainstorm entry on my list of accelerators. I also found pictures with the Dealer Installation Manual 3.0, but I haven't found a copy yet. Ben Burch posted in the comments of my site that he had one installed, I will email him...

Thanks! I recently got a a Macintosh 512k system, and also a 128k motherboard, so will likely flip through the manuals as part of playing with these early systems

They seemed to be a reseller of old parts in to the late 90s, they were selling 68030/040 accelerators until at least mid 1998 https://web.archive.org/web/19980423123432/http://galaxyhp.com/logic.html I just sent a connection request to David Shipway the previous CEO of GALAXY Hardware, to see...

And posted 68k Accelerators: Connectix Virtual and Compact Virtual. I didn't realized that there were two versions, one for non-68030 compact macs with accelerators, called Compact Virtual, and a different version simply called Virtual, for use with computers that have 68030 CPUs, LC's with an...

Found 3.0.1 at https://vintageapple.org/gamba2/system6.html

I'm putting together a post for my site about Connectix Compact Virtual. As part of that work, I discovered that only 3.02 and 2.04 are posted online, but I haven't found any other version.. I actually have Virtual 3.0 RC4 (attached) in my collection as part of the set of disks I got with my...

I've had good luck with industrial CF cards, they are designed for better IDE compatibility https://www.savagetaylor.com/2023/12/17/ide-replacing-your-old-ide-drive/

Most Macintosh computers that have an internal SCSI drive have to have one installed and terminated for external drives to work. So that would explain why it will not boot without the internal drive. Are all your images initialized?

There were actually a faire number of the 68000 accelerators https://www.savagetaylor.com/2022/06/07/68k-accelerators-fpus-and-other-cpus/#68000_68hc000_accelerators

Many of the images you find online are images of a single drive volume and were created for emulators. For an actual Macintosh computer you need an image that also contains the boot driver. I have a guide on my site and image files that may help...
