Made on a Mac IIfx with with a Digitizer II tablet and Photoshop 3.0

@A24A I am using the original power adapter. it gives the 7.5 V and it doesn't seem to have an issue. It is working fine with my PowerBook 145. Regarding the DC socket on the motherboard, I thought I would de-solder with the soldering iron slowly pushing each legs one by one but that was a very...

This evening I tried to replace the DC power socket and removing the old one was a total disaster! It was very difficult and I ended up ruining 2 of the 3 pads. The metal is still there but I may have been heating too much or pulling too hard, it became lose and there is no more continuity. I...

Thanks for the input @GRudolf94 ! I will check about the programmer switch. I tried to do a reset yesterday with both switches and I could feel the buttons working correctly when pressing and releasing them. Also, while I did not ground myself, I am not in a room subject to static buildup and I...

Thanks for your reply @A24A ! I have tried removing the BlueSCSI but the laptop doesn't go past the state of searching for a bootable device. The screen doesn't display anything. It remains dark. When the crash happened, I realize that there was something on my desk, that I pushed behind the...

I have been very lucky to find a PowerBook 180 with a screen that doesn't (yet) suffer the tunnel vision issue. However, after manipulating it (mainly to work on the BlueSCSI) it now refuses to boot. It makes the normal chime and straight after, it makes the chime of death while the screen...

Thanks for the links @LazarusNine ! I will check what's on the CD, there may be some interesting stuff in there!

Thanks for the nice word @LazarusNine ! I have used quite some books but I did not come across this one. Is it available online? Do you have a link? I have mainly relied on the Inside Macintosh books. I started by following the programming tutorials from Joshua Stein. Then, I looked for as...

Thanks a lot @maxoakland ! As I said in my previous message, I plan to refactor the syntax so it better aligns with the syntax of the Toolbox and existing libraries. I hope to do that soon when I have a bit more time for it, and I will try to come up with some documentation as well.

Thanks for the tips! I will try that when I put the G4 back in the machine. @Big Ben what CPU do you have in your 9500? I have no problem using my Radeon 7000 with a G3 from Powerlogix. However, if I reset the PRAM with the Radeon 7000 in the mac, the screen won't switch on at reboot. I have to...

Coming back to this as the setup with my Cresendo G4 700 card and Sonnet SATA card has been working for some time until I zapped the PRAM of my PowerMac. I have no idea about what was in the PRAM that made it work but after trying to re-install everything from scratch several times, I noticed...

I had success installing A/UX 3.1.1 on my IIfx using an internal BlueSCSI v2 and an external CD 300 drive. I haven't tried with a virtual CD from the BlueSCSI. If you are using an external BlueSCSI, make sure that your internal SCSI chain is terminated. You could just attach an internal...

I have tested this on my 9500 and it has been working perfectly so far! Thank you so much @jmacz ! This 9500 has 1.5 GB of RAM and took forever to boot on 7.6.1. It was so long, I ended up using MacOS 9 instead. I am so happy to be back on System 7, which flies on that machine! @jmacz do you...

The 9600 doesn't have the A/V ports but it has 6 PCI connectors and with a card like a Pinnacle DC30, you could make your Mac a great machine for digitizing old VCR or analog camcorder tapes. I use my 9500 with such a card for that purpose and it works pretty well. Upgrading it with a G3 or G4...

In my town (in France), one can take whatever they want so there is always someone going there just to see if there is something to take. I don't go there often and there can be a few random PCs but I have never seen any Mac. Maybe they are being taken straight away :)

That's awesome @Mu0n ! When looking at your code, I realize that I should rethink my syntax. I am used to naming my function and variables in lower_case and instead, I should go for the camelCase syntax that is used in the entire Toolbox. That will look a lot cleaner.

I am mainly focusing on the graphics at the moment (I still have my mind in optimizing the frame rate) but sound is part of the plan. This project from @Mu0n seems quite advanced in term of sound. We may be able to merge efforts at some point.

I am making a game engine for our old B&W Macs. I have posted the full story at Tinker different as it was my main source of inspiration for coding, but I thought I would post about it here too. You can find the source code at https://gitlab.com/ftech31/classicsprite It is still a work in...

That is awesome! Great work and great video!

The 8600 is also a great machine for capturing and even editing old analog videos. It has A/V connectors in the back and if you attach a VCR or camcorder to it, you have a great machine for digitizing your old tapes. I do this on my 9500 (with a dedicated PCI card as it doesn't have the A/V...
