@ClassicHasClass you are booting into Mac OS using external SCSI? Looking at ANS 1.1.20.1 Open Firmware in DingusPPC, there's some differences from 1.0.5 that might be strange. When it creates the 53c94 device, it does a reset-scsi which 1.0.5 does not do. reset-scsi performs 3 commands...

Can you insert some quotes from previous posts to remind us what this is about? EDIT your post, click the [ ] button to toggle off BB code, position the text insertion point in your post where you want to insert a quote, find the old post that you want to quote and click the REPLY button of...

Yes. 0 to my-self dev enet 1 encode-int " PLSCCPort" property .properties device-end dev doesn't open the device. It just sets the active-package. For the console problem, I wonder if serial can remain the input/output device and you open the graphics device manually. Like this...

I suppose I can understand that the ndrv might not be sufficient to opening the graphics device if it wasn't opened in Open Firmware beforehand. That just means the ndrv was poorly written. Looking at the code for property, it uses my-self if it is not zero. Otherwise, it uses active-package...

You're talking about fixing the Open Firmware console? Does it matter if it's screen/keyboard or serial port? Some might prefer serial if they have another computer and a serial port connection. Default for PowerSurge machines is modem port. Usually it doesn't matter because boot usually skips...

Did you do as I suggested to find the version of MoviePlayer that doesn't work? Not sure about Codec Manager. I thought it was referring to Component Manager. Maybe they're related. Things -> Codecs -> Components ? QuickTime 4 Reference mentions the codec manager once. The supermario source...

Select "Recent Applications" from the Apple menu to open the "Recent Applications" folder. Select the "MoviePlayer" icon, then select "Show Original" in the "File" menu. This will select the application that you are trying to run. Select "Get Info" from the "File" menu. What version does it...

I didn't notice any special characters that don't exist in other icon data links. Might want to log a bug with FireFox. What about PowerFox? https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/powerfox-new-web-browser-for-leopard-on-powerpc.5024/

If the base is 350x350 then that's 495 mm diagonal. Of course, a 495 mm long rectangle could only have a thickness of 0 in that case. So I googled this: "thickest rectangle 450 mm in length that can fit in a 350x350 square" it says 𝟒𝟒.𝟗𝟕 𝐦 I did not verify the math.

Can you right click the bad icon and do "Open image in new tab"? You can copy the url using something like "Copy image address"? The first missing icon (top row, 4th column) has a url like this...

Makes sense. I have a dump of that one. You wrote v3.0.2f but I think it's 3.0.f2. The ROM dump has 13f2 which I take to mean 3.1.3f2 but I'm not sure about stuff before 3.2.4. See "List of Open Firmware versions" at...

Right. USB booting wasn't added to Open Firmware until 3.2.4f1. Backporting this would be difficult but not impossible. What's the "built on" date/time for your Open Firmware version? Open Firmware versions were strange prior to 3.2... I created patches for Beige G3 to support LBA-48 in Open...

I used Jasik's MacNosy to disassemble the "mace" container from the Apple Enet 2.4.5 extension. I made a script to dump the string tables from the .asm file. The property name PLSCCPort is at offset $7C1 in the string list global glob72 in AppleEnet.asm (the .list file disagrees on global...

Real floppy drive is too deep. If you're going to include one, Have the opening on the side (like iMac CD ROM). The front floppy slot can have other stuff - SD card(s)? https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/the-apple-lisa-inside-an-fpga.5292/post-46958 Is the ESFLOPPY SD a separate device from...
