I finally managed to do it, but it's not great. Honest advice? Not worth the trouble. It's interesting for sure, but the plastic of the chassis is so brittle, lots of work needs to be done, and even now the PCI Ethernet card isn't found by the system, and the CRT needs to be adjusted quite a...

I also tried some Windows CE devices. The most interesting was the Jornada 680, because it was like a weird mini computer thing, larger than a palm computer but smaller than a small laptop too. CE devices always felt slow, interesting but slow. It's weird to see a Windows CE device boasting...

I still use Palm devices to this day. The philosophy of "Make it as fast as paper" keeps it appealing to me, I can push a button and just check/enter information as I need.

My latest acquisition, a complete Power tower 225. Coomplete in box, with all of its bits and bobs, well loved by its previous owner and will be well loved now. This thing is awesome, I've never used a clone machine, or a 604 cpu. It doesn't seem to want to boot if input my Rage128 in it, but...

I have a dual cassette "Mini boom box" with a stack of tapes, but cooking is mostly GWAR, it makes the best pancake music. Actually sitting and eating is a 180 with smooth jazz of some kind.

I really liked 1 and 2, but I feel like the series has been on a decline since. 3 was a little weird, resurrection was very weird, Prometheus and Covenant played out like generic horror movies wearing the aliens franchise like a skin suit. I don't mean to be overly negative, but I don't think...

Trying to figure out the pinout still. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a problem with my push-button board, the power LED never lights up on it. I've managed to find out what some of these connections do. I'm sure this project is going to extend well into next month, the power supply is VERY...

I've managed to get good enough video, speaks don't play sound and the face buttons/led/audio don't work. A lot more to do here. I'm not sure what I did wrong at this point.

Most I've been able to scrape up from the way back machine was a vague diagram focused on getting an IR sensor working in a color classic. I don't know what it means though.

Made progress but now it's on hold, need a 3.3v regulator. I'm also stumped at the pinout for the face buttons and headphone jack. The Takky guide at powercc.org shows the pinout for the Analogue board, and what they all do, but it doesn't tell you what the pinout for the face buttons are. It...

Going off of the simple logic that people steal the logic boards out of the LC 500 series and put them into their Color Classics, it stands to reason, that the Takky Upgrade for the color classics would also work for an LC 500! Unfortunately, I can't really find much information on anyone trying...

If your problem is the same as the one I had once before, then use those blank images provided on the troubleshooting page, install your OS to the blank with an emulator like basilisk 2 or whatnit and use that.

I'll flash the latest firmware and setup the conditions to hopefully re-create these issues. As soon as something goes sour, I'll post the log here. I see things in it, but I do not understand what they mean. In a hurry, I took 2 pictures of the log, to see if I could stare at them long enough...

Had more data corruption again. This rollercoaster is killing me. I rolled the frimware back to before Wifi was supported, the system seems to be running faster, successfully installed 4 programs and rebooted 2 times without any data corruption.

I hate when you fix something and you don't know what you did. Drives me bonkers. So, the only thing I know of that made a difference with the BlueSCSI 2 wifi working finally, is I changed the network .hda file from NE4.hda to NE5.hda, no other changes. Upon rolling back the update and changing...

I rolled the firmware back to v2023.10.12, which was the first to mention/support the Daynaport SCSI ethernet. The data corruptions seems to have stopped, but the ethernet portion doesn't seem to be working still. I turned debug mode on, recommendation of Mac84. I have a few things to try yet...

Update to this, it appears as if the Bluescsi 2 is corrupting data. I setup the Bluescsi 2 with only NE4. Hda and the .ini file telling it how to connect to my network. On the backside I have a bluescsi 1 externally, I did the OS and software installs to the bluescsi 1 without any issue. It...

I have used the .hda with the driver bundle and a newer driver from Macintosh Garden, the .hda one says it's from 1993 and the later is from 1997, both do the same to the system. 7.1 had MacTCP, 7.5 and 8.1 had Open Transport.

I'm not in, so I'll have look again. I'm digging through the troubleshooting tips now, though my issue seems unique. It's a generic "Can not complete installation" error. I forget the exact words, but it doesn't imply the hardware isn't present, or imply much other than it failed. I've tried...

I'm not sure where to post this, I'll start here and it can be shoved off elsewhere if needed. I have a Quadra 605 with an internal BLueSCSI v2. Every time I try to install the DaynaPORT software, it'll get 60% through the install then error out. The error says that the changed will be...
