What is the P2 connector for? Interesting that the main PDS connector is just the pins!

Well this is embarrassing. After quite awhile and some deep disappointment, I decided to just try pulling everything out again just for the heck of it. I was reading the manual again, and decided to just try it one more time. I connected up the Rapport dongle on its own (it should function...

Awesome!

This all reminds of SCSI Accelerator for the Plus which comes with multiple versions of the extension, which adds different numbers of pause commands and such, based on the capabilities of the hard drive that was being used: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/scsi-accelerator

Perhaps Opt-Shift-Click? Having two modifiers would also ensure that it's a deliberate action and isn't invoked accidentally by the user. You could also add a preference for customizing which modifier(s) is/are used, but obviously that's extra work for you on the back-end.

I just realized from your notes on the latest Alpha release from the 11th that in order to keep an item in the dock you have to Ctrl-Click its icon when it's open. Unfortunately, pre-ADB Macintosh keyboards don't have a Ctrl key!

Wonderful job!

Congratulations on a monumental milestone! HFS+ is a big step. I still hold out hope for DC6 NDIF image compatibility, but I know it's a tougher problem than most, given that most such files are compressed.

My guess is that it's an oversight, I would highly doubt that there is anything in these new versions that can't be done in earlier OSes, considering that it can be compiled to run on an 68k machine.

The RTC was successfully reverse-engineered not so long ago, so you may be able to get one afterall if you can't find a donor.

Hi @Elemenoh, just got myself a MacCrate as well. The power supply of mine came dead, with a blown resistor at R4 and a dead fuse. I'm going to try and fix it, hopefully it was just those two elements. Hopefully I can find a photo of a functional PSU to read the resistor value... PS. Mine came...

Are you trying to fix/replace the internal display, or just looking to add an external monitor to your SE/30?

Adrian's Digital Basement did a video recently on a similar device, which he got working with a modern monitor by using an RGB2HDMI: It ended up being a Radius Full Page Display Card from c. 1986.

System Enablers can be copied from another drive, it does not need to be placed by the installer. However, a normal error for a wrong or missing enabler is simply being told that the System is incompatible with your machine, not the Sad Mac screen. :(

Regarding formatting the Tash20, it is a little inconvenient, as you have to script it and do things in the terminal? I'm still a bit unclear in how it's supposed to work. If you do have a Mac OS 8/9/X machine that you can connect a USB sd card reader to though, you can at least format it as HFS...
