Thanks for checking in, @JDW , really appreciate it! Crucible will support both the SMC ROM SIMM and the SMC PDS ROM version. https://en.infinityproducts.co.jp/product-page/smc-rom-simm-card https://en.infinityproducts.co.jp/product-page/smc-pds-rom-card Any 2MB ROM SIMM should basically...

About two months ago @Branchus streamed building the SMC Idle Hands Micro Joystick, so some of you may remember the build. It’s an extremely compact paddle controller that gives you everything you need to play Arkanoid, Pong!, and similar games... and nothing you don’t. Watch the stream here...

I forgot to share this awesome case that Bruce designed, and JDW is showcasing it with his YouTube Video: [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7164121]

Hi James, Colinlm contacted me directly and I explained him that V2 is a closed source version, and he reassured me and agreed that I couldn't share any program details. I also shared some information about the known issues with the IIc ROM's smart port specs. These are files sent to me by my...

I’ve just refreshed my website! Updated resources are now up, covering mods for most compact Macs and showcasing the parts I’ve made. Check it out and enjoy! https://www.kerosmm.com/

It feels like it’s been almost 25 years since I last messed around with something like this. Back in the day I was using a G3 B&W — not as infamous as the G4 MDD, but those machines did have the occasional PSU failure. I remember swapping out the PSU a few times myself, and by then ATX...

We did this on X(Twitter), not here, but the method for using this card was quite simple. The reason is that this small capacity ROM card is a ROM card that is used only to store font data even if you do not install Japanese fonts. So, in order to save a little space, if you do not install kanji...

More info on the PDS ROM @Branchus did a livestream where he did some testing: @This Does Not Compute made a great new introduction Video: I'm excited to see people gradually turning to PDS ROM. I think the usage will be limited, but I can learn from hearing various opinions. However, the...

Branchus Creations had a stream today—did everyone catch it? Sales have started today. PDS ROM for Macintosh SE/30 Revive your SE/30 – even with a broken ROM SIMM socket! What It Is This is a brand-new ROM card that installs into the PDS slot of your SE/30, completely bypassing the aging and...

@Branchus will be doing a live stream where he will be announcing our SMC new products. Stay tuned! https://youtube.com/live/nyBcBQur2Nk?feature=share

When the ROM file is split into 4 binary files, the files are named U4, U3, U2, U1, which may seem like the order is reversed at first glance. However, this is due to the hardware design and programming tool specifications. Specifically, each split binary file corresponds to a specific ROM chip...

You might see heaters like this in the windows of old hotels. You might see heaters like this in the windows of old hotels.

Oh, and one more interesting thing. SmartPort supports ProDOS format with a 32MB limit, but IIgs can also read HFS if it is not used as a startup disk, with a 2GB limit. I haven't tried that with SPIISD yet (V1 and V2), so I'll give it a try next time.

I have a SASI card but it has never worked for me. It had a pretty huge drive cabled to it, maybe 20MB or so.

@Branchus 's live stream was interesting. One thing I noticed is that most of us here are Mac users, but at the same time, many of us used Apple II as kids. There is a part on Apple II where he says "What is a Smartport?" This is because we mostly used 5.25 diskettes at the time, so I don't...
