Right. Apple System Profiler doesn't list every PCI device. Just ones in slots that have slot names. The ANS 2.0 ROM does away with the Apple Network Server slot naming and uses PowerSurge type slot names. Your problem is that the method used to attach the 54M30 driver to the device does not...

I would check the Name Registry using Display Name Registry or DisplayNameRegistry or my DumpNameRegistry to see what is visible to the OS. https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/silicon-image-sil3112-flashing-easier-way-using-flashrom.7013/post-472471...

The 66 MHz slot of B&W G3 and Yikes is weird because it's basically an overclocked slot that can't run at 33 MHz like a normal PCI slot can. So if a card works in that slot then you know for sure that it's working at 66 MHz. 32 bit PCI to PCIe bridges are obtainable. 64 bit PCI to PCIe bridge...

"Mac OS ROM" file is for New World Macs. It contains Open Firmware code which means it's loaded by Open Firmware. Once the ROM is setup, then it can load the Mac OS 9 drivers from the driver partitions of the disk just like Old World Mac ROMs do. Old World Mac ROMs are like the "Mac OS ROM"...

All the ROMs are in my fork of MacROMan. See the doonerom command in the mac_rom_checksums.sh script. It reads and verifies all checksums of a ROM. Use the script like this: source mac_rom_checksums.sh doonerom path_to_rom Results are in romlist.txt which shows how checksums changed since the...

Your solutions to the problem basically amount to avoiding the problem - either by not using LBA 48 disks to their full potential or by not using the affected IDE controllers. I was just saying that the problem (drive size limits, etc) is not hardware related but firmware or software related...

The The screen device can't be opened again? Could be a Open Firmware bug. Or it could be a bug in the graphics controller emulation. DingusPPC doesn't emulate the built-in graphics controller yet, so I can't compare. Someone with a real ANS could try it. " screen" output In the Granny Smith...

Trying it out. I uploaded multiple ROMs. 1995-05-18 - 9630C68B - 2.26B6 ANS 300 & 500 & 700.ROM 1998-01-14 - 49B2BE8F - 2.0 ANS 300 & 500 & 700.ROM 1995-08-21 - 962F6C13 - 1.1.20.1 ANS 300 & 500 & 700.ROM 1995-08-21 - 962F6C13 - 1.1.22 ANS 300 & 500 & 700.ROM 1995-08-21 - 962F6C13 - 2.26NT ANS...

I don't know of any reason why any Mac with an IDE connector can't support LBA-48 except for the drivers. Drivers can be replaced. The Open Firmware driver needs to be updated for Mac OS X to load "BootX" unless it's on a helper partition (setup by XPostFacto for example). The Open Firmware...

The Infinite Mac HD is built from a list of URLs using a python script. I think it uses XADMaster to unarchive all the sit and hqx and whatever files. Stuffit archives include meta data such as folder window size and file icon position. mihaip's fork of XADMaster handles parsing that.

https://github.com/mihaip/machfs has bug fixes for https://github.com/elliotnunn/machfs to create HFS disk images that pass Disk First Aid and fsck_hfs and Mac OS 9.2 tests. It's used to create the Infinite Mac HD at https://infinitemac.org

Thanks for this. Looks like DingusPPC needs some fixes for 53c94. I think ,0 is for the LUN number? Not needed on most devices since they have a single LUN. Open Firmware has a show-children for each built-in SCSI controllers. Use it like this: \ 53c94 (TNT or ANS) " scsi" select-dev...

Change @0 to the SCSI ID of your external drive?

@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...
