A number of pages are on the Internet Archive, here: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://lam.kilu.de/lam2//* - Alex

Have you made any more progress on this? This is a really great idea, and there are a ton of machines lacking easy access to Ethernet. - Alex

Actually, the IIc can support SmartPort drives (IIgs-style) natively, and so can the IIe, given an appropriate controller card. Having now read the other thread (sorry that I missed that, earlier), and it sounds like you're already on the path. Again, thanks so much for such a great device! Thanks! - Alex

It truly is an amazing device. I've used mine to boot a friends 128k Mac (that I replaced _all_ the RAM in!), and my Mac IIci. What versatility! BMOW, have you considered making your drive Apple IIe/c/gs-compatible? - Alex

Just to note, I've tested the latest firmware, and it's absolutely perfect. Thanks so much! - Alex

Indeed, my searching seems to indicate the same. I also found this program, which seems to work well, though I have only tested it a bit: http://sunsky3s.s41.xrea.com/dmgconverter/index.html It seems to create valid raw images, given a variety of formats, fairly easily. I also ran across an old hint that additional formats can be enabled for Disk Utility, using the following: $ defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility advanced-image-options -bool true In my (limited) testing, on 10.8.5, it does enable the formats, but trying to create a Disk Copy 4.2 image from an existing UDIF

I will look in to finding the Disk Copy 6.x format documentation. As to directly running Disk Copy, that's a no go, as Mini vMac doesn't really emulate a floppy drive. Actually, that seems to be a shortcoming of all of the Macintosh emulators. For most purposes, it doesn't really matter, but for image creation and writing, it is somewhat critical. I have tried Basilisk II, MESS, Mini vMac, and Sheepshaver. Thanks!
-
Very close. Now, I just need to figure out how to get from Disk Copy 6.x to .raw. Thanks for the pointer!
-
Yep, that's definitely useful, so long as you aren't trying to convert disk images from another format, to Disk Copy 4.2.
-
All I can say is, what a fantastic product! On a side note, how does everyone make DiskCopy 4.2 images? I assume that you use a real Mac with a real superdrive? I've been trying, with little success, to find an alternative. This would be especially handy since Apple has many Disk Copy 6.x images on their HTTP archive. - Alex

And to reply to myself, again (I can't edit posts more than a couple minutes old, for some reason), I resoldered the CPLD, and now the board works perfectly! Thanks again! I'm really looking forward to the code release that supports folders. - Alex

And now I can't replicate the PH2/3 GND short. Odd. All of the other signals check out OK, though. - Alex
