Thanks for doing this, and for pointing out how selfish BlueSCSI are being. I’ll be using scuzEMU with GBSCSI. It’d be great if there was a pan-emulator mode page describing features for this kind of tool to take advantage of.

Why do you need a Macintosh Classic II for that?

You could learn to repair it yourself. If it's not covered in exploded battery internally, it's actually quite straightforward, and rewarding. And if you're able to repair vehicles, you're definitely capable of learning how to recap a logic board and an analog board.

Why did you get it in the first place if this is what you’re going to do? It’s like you bought a classic car without checking under the hood, it got dropped off a trailer into your driveway, and now you’re wondering why it won’t start. Then when people start giving you advice about the...

Why not use externally clocked serial?

I’ve only spent about 5 minutes using it, I just did it in the middle of other stuff. I also just looked up the part number on eBay and found a seller, there are plenty (as well as the usual IC vendors).

Just deciddd to double check in case I had put the RAM in upside down, and you know what? I had! When I inserted the ICs in the correct orientation the card came right up and worked to browse AppleTalk and IP ping another system from my IIfx. I used four Toshiba TC514400AZ-60 512Kbit...

I have a number of the Apple Ethernet NB cards and recently purchased some ZIP RAM that *should* work with them. Unfortunately, at least in my Mac IIfx running System 6.0.8, the card just leaves its error light on with the RAM installed and never comes up. Unless the RAM itself is bad—it is old...

To my knowledge, the card doesn’t accelerate the networking stack itself (though it could conceivably do so), it just handles buffering/DMA so the host CPU doesn’t have to do as much work. The System Software is still responsible for the AppleTalk and TCP/IP stacks. This could conceivably be...

Even if the system had its hard disk shredded for security, there’s often vendor media (both software and manuals) that wouldn’t be required to be shredded if the people doing the recycling had a better idea what they were doing, and if the user had been careful about keeping things together...
