    se/30 dual slot PDS Gerbers

    It’s likely what @cheesestraws mentions above about having the same slot ID’s. Some pds cards have pin headers to select slot ID and some have presoldered jumpers thst would need removing/swapping Being the a single card connected to either slot runs fine I’m sure you’ve assembled you card...

    Mac IIci Battery Bomb workaround - continuity points for new battery holder?

    D7 and D8 are actually diodes not transistors. i believe they are SOT23 packages, and just a generic signal diode like a 1N4148 or 1N914. They are just used to stop voltage back feeding with the battery circuit so any diode similar to what i just mentioned should also work too. if you cant...

    Mac IIci Battery Bomb workaround - continuity points for new battery holder?

    using your picture above as a reference the positive battery terminal connects to the top right pin on D8, and the battery ground can be connected anywhere that's convenient such as the top right pin of D7 or the right side of the C20 capacitor

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    I don’t think I have any pictures of that psu mod I did at hand but basically it’s the same as any atx to Mac style conversion you just wire up the +5, +12 and ground to the appropriate pins on the logic board slot harness thing and don’t connect the third ground/3.3v connection at all then on...

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    That looks really good. Just wondering are the led’s just shinning through the fr4 with no solder mask?

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    The different Color’s was just because I had a few kg of different colored filaments and I used whatever I had hooked up to my printer at the time I printed different parts And yes be careful at the 3.3v pin on the psu. I actually disconnected that ground wire and installed a small 3.3v...

    "portable"/"slim" 6200/5200

    ive done exactly this a few years ago. A 3d printed case for a 5400 logic board that slots in the back with a built in floppyemu, and using a Pico psu. It was just something I messed around with when I got my first 3d printer and was learning to use fusion360. the goal was to eventually refine...

    Mac mini compatible optical drives?

    it was about two years ago when i replaced my mac mini drivewith the UJ-875 but i dont recall having any issues with native finder burning. usually as a matter of habit if i replace a mac cd/dvd drive I test that out along with iDVD support (or is it DVD player?? i forget). While i generally...

    Mac mini compatible optical drives?

    when mine died i just got a drive that had been pulled from an 2007/2008 era imac straight from ebay.. it cost me about $20 australian dollars (roughly $10-15US dollars at the time). Ive had no issues with it, its just a Matshita UJ-875, nothing to special really.

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    being able to mount CD images and swap them would be handly if thats possible down the track. if it makes the top of your list someo day im happy to do a bunch of testing Honeslty though im still dreaming of a scsi sdcard solution that has a breakout pin for the scsi eject command and allows...

    Partition Magic for SCSI emulated Macs?

    In a perfect would we just need someone who can merge all the features of switchboot, system picker and System Switcher and create both a CDEV and standard APPL app and it would probably cover just about everyones use cases

    Partition Magic for SCSI emulated Macs?

    you could also try using SwitchBoot https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/switchboot its a Extension that allows you to select a boot drive early on during bootup. it doesnt let you boot different partitions on the same SCSI drive but if you has a few different scsi drive images it'll at least...

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    Ahh ok, I switched over to using the 128’s for my boards quite a long time ago now during the testing stage. I’m pretty sure I have exfat enabled from back the too, it’s hard to recall though I did do a bunch of tests with different compile options back in the day… I‘ll have to check out the...

    Partition Magic for SCSI emulated Macs?

    sometimes I use a stripped down system 7.0.1 floppy image on my floppyemu with system picker on it, I renamed system picker to ‘finder’ and it boots up straight Into system picker pretty quickly. Would probably boot even quicker on a scsi image. still would be great to have a ROM hotkey that...

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    im still using a couple scuznet devices with my daily driver mac's, one internal on my Se/30 and an external one that moves around with different 68k and PPC macs. i havent had any long term reliability issues what so ever fwiw. @saybur what memory changes are you referring to?

    se/30 dual slot PDS Gerbers

    Yes another version will be released at some stage... i've been thinking of possibly adding a scsi SD card solution to the board though so it could be awhile before i had time to do that, and i need to make sure the opensource licences used buy any scsi sd-card solution allow me to do that if i...

    Hi everyone, late last year i decided to fiddle aroud with kicad to learn how it works compared to eagle.. certainly not an expect in either. regarless i decided to made a dual PDS slot adaptor for me SE/30 so can use my network card and my gfx card at the same time... my network card doesnt...

    Offer for free testing and all things involved

    As a gluten for Potential punishment I just wanted to ask as it’s also secret pet Love of mine to test things. Is there any projects either software or hardware wise that anyone needs any external testing done on? I should point out my main Mac’s are a couple of SE/30 machines, a 5400 in a...
