One year later, no one ?

I have try that with two Farallon EtherWave adapter (LocalTalk to Ethernet) : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2020/08/17/localtalk-rapide/ There is a special driver (with a specific interface) and the speed is higher.  With a classic LocalTalk adapter, i can transfer at ~160 kb/s (real). With...

Technically, it's (perhaps) possible, but Apple don't do that. Even if you flash the card (or use a "compatible" card), the driver don't do that.  I suppose it's a little bit complicated to make a new driver to do that, and by the way, many Mac can use an AirPort Extreme (compatible) card. 

The first AirPort Card is a "subset" of PCMCIA. Actually, you can use an AirPort card into a PCMCIA slot, but not a classic card on the AirPort slot (i think Mac OS and Mac OS X just block that). And you can't use WPA2 with this sort of card. To have WPA2 on Mac with AirPort original slot, the...

One thing to know : i have a 12" monochome and the display works only with old Macintosh. I have searched many times to found a solution : the display need composite sync avec many modern computer don't do that with adapter. I have made an adapter for that...

I have buy an "ADB" joystick on eBay, a MacFly. But when i have received the joystick, i have discovered one thing : the joystick use a serial connection And i have not the floppy with the driver I have searched on the net, and i have not find a copy ANyone can help me ? It's a MacFly...

It depends. It will work in a Power Mac G3... if there is a jumper to disable the BIOS from the card. 

I search a specific things, can you help me ? I search a ROM dump from the LaserWriter 810 Pro. Actually, i have found many pages with reference to an easter egg with this printer, and i will verify that... and i must find the ROM. I have not found a printer to make the dump. My article about...

Actually, it will be complicated. The QT200 use Smart Media 5V card, and many readers can only read the 3,3 V card. But it's possible to find an USB reader (i have a Fujitsu model for that) or just use the serial cable. I have made a Python script to transfer the photos, and it works with...

I have tried on a Mac, and it's buggy. I have a Smart Media version : it's slow, you must insert battery into the fake floppy, and on the Mac, you can only read files. I have a Memory Stick version too, but it will not work. And i know there is a Multimedia Card version, too.

Actually, i can force 640x480 @ 66 with SwitchresX, it's not the problem. The problem is the sync : i see the image "scrolling" when i use the correct timing.

Hi,  I have a little problem. I have found a 12" monochrome monitor (High Res) and i will try to connect the display to a modern Mac. And it will not work : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2018/08/17/crt-apple/  The display is working with an old Mac LC, with a Power Mac G3 (beige), but not...

The solder pad is for a ROM slot, not for a RAM slot.

Hi,  I have a question : i have two QuickDraw 3D Card from Apple, and i want to test the card with QuickDraw 3D benchmark. And for that, i search CineBench 2000 for Mac. The file on archive.org is corrupted, and i can't find a copy. Can you help me ? Actually, i have tested one card with Havoc...

Hi. It's old, but i have found a GM ROM with 8 chip, and i have dumped the content : http://down.dandu.be/ROMb With this ROM, i can boot the Pippin from an hard drive.

The ZV Ports is also used for the MPEG2 card for PowerBook G3.

I have found the information into the LPX-040 motherboard developer note : https://web.archive.org/web/20030410054223/http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-PPC_Desktop/LPX-40_Dev_Note.pdf The Cudla Lite is on the clone logic board and on Power Mac 4400...

Is this possible tu dump and recreate a CUDA Lite chip ? It would be fun to add PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard on a Mac. I thunk it's the same chip, but with more memory and code inside the firmware to handle PS/2 peripherals. On the Mac side, the Power Mac 4400 use this chip, but without the...

I have one like that, but my model is an USB mouse, with an ADB adapter : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2017/04/12/optical-usb-adb/

Mac OS X is not writing to HFS since many years. Actually, there is no reliable solution. At home, i use a Raspberry Pi with A2server as a "proxy" : old Mac and modern Mac can write and read on it.
