 i'm going to create a SCSI disk image for my SCSI2SD using BasiliskII and the instructions at https://www.savagetaylor.com/2019/12/19/how-ive-setup-the-scsi2sd-that-i-use-in-my-lc-475/ @tubetime As a new hire at Apple I authored the 7.5 installer script. I moved on to doing software engineering on the OS by 7.5.3, but that always gives me a nice feeling to see it still running.   @tubetime I like to think you have a stock room full of capacitors.  @tubetime I recapped my SNES a few months ago to protect it. Unfortunately I think it has some problems with one of the ICs. Graphics are all weird. Also replaced the vreg even though the output from that looked fine.  @tubetime Seeing this is dredging up ancient memories of playing with not-new SCSI gear as a kid… staring at the baroque arrangement of peripherals, utterly confused as to why it wouldn’t just WORK. @tubetime Memories of SE30s, Classics and a few Quadras in a graphics shop I worked at in 92. I used Filemaker Pro to manage work flow and create job tickets. Great relational database program. @natemartinsf it's super clean! also dang you're on mastodon too, i will follow you asap @tubetime copyright 1982 on the ROM--wow!  @tubetime Definitely a #Macintosh #mainboard: I've not seen and #PDS "slot" sockets anywhere else... @tubetime This post suggests power management. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/where-to-find-341s0851-c-1990-apple-lciii-boot-issues.37152/  @tubetime I feel like that's the spiritual successor of the SE's BBU which turned a half dozen or so PALs into a single chip @tubetime The Apple IIgs was the first to have this tool-less design. I don’t know why that is so. It made working on Apple products so nice. @tubetime Oooh that looks fun. Alas all I have in the classic mac world is a Mac SE with no slots. @tubetime @tubetime Yeah I've had mixed results with the SCSI2SD and random old hardware. A particularly weird one is suddenly the same one I've had forever stopped working on my Microvax. Used to work, now doesn't, no explanation.  @tubetime Never even crossed my mind that this was even a thing… 😮🥳 |
and we have working video! now for the most important question of the day: what version of Mac OS should i put on it?
