Here's my first #GlobalTalk blog post! How to connect your emulated Mac running in vMac to your #GlobalTalk connected AppleTalk zone by using TashTalk (this description is a mouthful) https://blog.vladovince.com/using-tashtalk-with-mini-vmac-to-participate-in-globaltalk-from-your-emulated-mac/

Weirdly, I had no issues at all getting started with just an SE/30, BlueSCSI V2 and Paul Rickard's System 7.1 HDA volume with Apple Internet Router pre-installed. I'll look tonight if I can identify anything special about my setup that could be helpful to others. The only "different" thing...

I'm building a Lisa/Mac XL from scratch! My only "complete" part is a spare Macintosh XL CPU board. I'm documenting the process here: https://mastodon.vladovince.com/@mejs/112001786014474036 My early Marchintosh project was documenting the build of two SE/30 boards, which went sideways in...

Hey folks, figured I would follow up here and confirm that I finally resolved this and successfully built a functional SE/30 on a new board, using parts from both of these original boards + a new CPU. I'm working on a blog post which I'll publish at https://blog.vladovince.com, but in the...

Oh wow, I absolutely did not catch that. It would have been when I first started testing the purple board, which did not go well. I eventually did remove all the chips, including the wrongly installed ADB one. I completely missed where pin 1 was on this chip vs my other board where the text is...

Thank you for this! I did at one point suspect the house wiring, but it does seem unlikely since I live in a new apartment building. I also tested running from a UPS on battery, with same results. I'll be testing with an ATX supply later today. The 5V input is solid, including off of the...

Hi folks, I will try to summarize this situation into a question, but I need to share some context first. I own two original SE/30 boards. One was battery bombed, while the other was in great physical shape, but with a never identified issue which prevented it from successfully booting into any...
