So far so good.

Very nice! Even though I didn’t understand the most of technical discussions on this thread. Still nice to see the progress!

Hook yourself up with a nice SCSI2SD, and you are golden!

Well done! I’m impressed by your perseverance, and am glad it paid off!

Which ASIC specifically was at fault in the end? Serial?

 

[SophieRose]

@joshc Well originally adb.. I swapped them both around which just moved the fault.. which is how I found it.

Yay upgraded memory to 20MB.. niiiice. Thanks @LaPorta. ☺

 

[8bitbubsy]

Awesome! Well done.

 

[LaPorta]

Great to see that memory put to some good use...instead of rotting in my drawer!

Tried the serial ports the other day and... lock up.. so off with its scc and check vias. As i have a broken connection to the special serial proc.

My IIci's serial is wonky - I need to investigate sometime.

Good luck!

What were you trying to do with the port?

 

[SophieRose]

What were you trying to do with the port?

Yried my wacom serial tablet on it.. changed the serial switch to compatible too.. it just locks up. Wont do a loopback test either in snooper will fix am sure.

 

[SophieRose]

Fixed serial ports... all I'm gonna say is Bomarc pin 44, 3, 43, 4 and ahhhhh

it still doesnt like my 2 bluescsis.. keeps failing random sector tests in snooper and randomly locking up whilst copying files but getting there slowly.. it seems more reliable with a real hard disk... she says as it bad chimes and asks to restart lol.. oops

 

[SophieRose]

Oh and I socketified the scc chip.

Does the blue scsi work
Similarly to the SCSI2SD?
