    eMate 300 Restoration progress—My notes and your advice

    What a happy looking eMate! I'm very curious about doing this myself, but have been a little wary about buying and soldering batteries. How is the battery life? Any tips you think are important to follow?

    Pascal pages missing from Think Pascal 4.0 User manual

    I have a physical copy of the manual, but I don't have any way of actually scanning it. Pages 71-102 cover the last page of the desk accessory tutorial, how to use the text editor and settings, and the start of the Project window. I think most of that you could figure out by referencing the...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    It's pretty cool, they made the ROM forward compatible. I don't know how the ROM works in depth, but i assume the System Software is calling mouse routines and whatnot in the ROM that then call the ADB Manager. Key Caps shows the original keyboard, but everything lights up, and stuff like the...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Yes I can confirm that my SE FDHD works with early system software. I found an image of System 0.97 with Finder 1.0, copied it to an 800k floppy formatted Single Sided, and it booted right up from the internal drive. I don't think there are any compatibility issues with the SWIM SE. I don't...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    I have an SE FDHD and I have booted it into System 1.0 running via Floppy Emu before. I can test it today on a real floppy to verify, but I'm pretty sure the SWIM and the newer ROM work fine with old System Software.

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    It really stood out to me in the original recording too. So much so that I dug out my SE and ran Tetris on it to verify. I noticed you were running System 7 and I wonder if there's a background task causing the stuttering. On my SE with 2.5 megs of memory, running System 6.0.8 without Multi...

    Converting DaynaPORT E/LC-M from coax to 10base-T

    Nicely done! I've come across coax only populated cards in the past and always wondered how difficult they would be to add the missing TP parts.
