Good to see someone has confirmed booting and demonstrated how to wire it up with NOS chips. I've got a spare ANS ROM here I can sacrifice if someone is willing to build it (would pay for it). Regrettably I'm poor at SMT soldering.

Hope you're hungry. Here is the output from this 200MHz ANS 500 with production ROMs and the 10/100 Ethernet card option.

n=1, but I think it would be nice, yes. :)

I'm pretty sure (@johntucker can confirm) that the MacOS ROM does allow you to boot from the internal SCSI. But it could certainly boot external if needed. The ANS does not have ROMs on the logic board; they are always on a SIMM stick.

Unfortunately (speaking as the maintainer of Crypto Ancienne) it does not currently support SSH, just generic TLS which it uses for HTTPS. I'd use Dropbear for SSH; it works with pretty much anything I've ever thrown it at, even very old systems. It should certainly work with 10.5. Also, Australia.

Curious: did you get nailed with any tariffs over that?

This is a great thing to dust off, but a couple portability notes: - Compilers are trying to get rid of K&R syntax even though it warms my grizzled heart to see it. - st_birthtime and d_type are not POSIX. For example, 10.4 doesn't have birthtime; AIX 6 doesn't have that or d_type. (Both do...

Did it require something special, or just a standard PLCC puller?

I'm assuming this is the last gasp of the Workgroup Server line.

Interesting unit. I guess it would come down to what it does with the colour lines. The BNC connectors have a separate sync; perhaps you could connect the Mac that way.

I'm not sure, but my suspicion is no, based on this paragraph (bold at the end mine): This seems like the situation you are experiencing, and that last sentence implies that this adapter does not do the kind of sync filtering that the #7053 box does. Steve makes good stuff and this device...

The one I use is a Software Integrators #7053. They still sell these, but they are not cheap, about $140 ( https://si87.com/Shops/3738123e-8b74-40b2-bd96-ddff0f19d352/Products/7053 ). They require an active 6V power supply which is included, and work for most systems and monitors. You plug the...

This sounds like a sync-on-green signal which your monitor doesn't know how to filter. There are circuits that will remove this. Myself I use an active sync-on-green converter that turns it into more typical composite sync, though these are not cheap. Alternatively, you could try fiddling with...

I don't think there was ever a PowerPC-native Snooper, so I wouldn't trust it.

I think this boils down to Mac OS 9 simply seeing the USB drive as regular mass storage. To the best of my knowledge audio was only supported for internal drives (and SCSI external drives for historical reasons). I suspect you'll get the same issue with a FireWire CD-ROM or anything emulating...
