If you have a Mac Plus: assuming your BlueSCSI works as is, the SCSI Accelerator should be plenty enough, no pressing need to do a firmware update If you have other machines as well: be safer than sorry and do the firmware and apply SCSI Accelerator only for your Mac Plus If you don't have a Mac...

Looks sharp man! Excellent choice of tune to showcase it, haha!

Using SCSI Director Pro v2.1.7 after the very last bootloader + firmware flash: no significant changes. But then, a true hero appears @VicNor on the discord server! He had specialized knowledge about Mac Plus and SCSI drivers - it turns out several drivers of the day were written for the lowest...

After spending some time receiving help from @eric in Discord in the RaSCSI/BlueSCSI server, I finally updated the right bootloader into my blue pill. The LED flash frequency went about from 2 flashes/s (old bootloader) to about 6 flashes/s (new bootloader enabling usb updating). So as it...

Archon (1986) from Freefall Associates and Electronic Arts One of my absolute favorite games on Macs - my brother and me used to play this a lot in hotseat back in the day. I used light side with the mouse and he played with the keyboard with dark side. Always. This game carried heavy copy...

Again, I'm comparing the Roland SC-88ST Sound Canvas against the Kawai XC-3 GMega LX, running a pretty spiffy midi probably dating from the 90's (the info inside the .mid file tells of a geocities website). I've discored that group (Casiopea) last year and their style meets the olden midi synth...

Methodology: I reflash the Blue Pill in my BlueSCSI using Visual Code Studio, PlatformIO using the Upload task within the project, since the STM32 cube utility has never worked with my counterfeit Blue Pill (which I didn't plan on getting, it's what a generic electronics store sold me). When...

I'm very glad I spotted this in a lowish resolution picture of an estate sale where someone was trying to show off mac software and hardware that his grandpa had accumulated over the years. There were Apple ii mixed in. It was entirely possible that this Uninvited box would be the Apple ii...

I want to get a sense of which PC category was at the same time as which Mac categories There's no general enough forum section to post this, so maybe it can work here! There's a big chunk of mac history that's opaque to me, when I switched away from B&W computers and into DOS around 1992...

Just nabbed those this morning. I told myself I wouldn't dive deep in box collecting. I failed. I couldn't pass up Ancient Art of war, Ultima Underworld and Might and Magic III. I already started a playthrough of EotB1 a few months ago so why not. The rest is known by reputation or are games...

This black and white port of 'The Ancient Art of War' from Brøderbund was released in 1985, one year after the IBM PC release of 1984. Video footage here: It was probably released with the Mac 512k in mind. Considered the grand daddy of real-time-strategy games, this featured unit condition...

Did you flash the firmware to the latest and greatest? It started working better with mine after I did that one 2 occasions. I couldn't use the default simple flash program so I had to reupload the compiled project from Visual Studio using a project task ('upload').

It seems like the premade images from Mac garden don't play nice with Mac Plusea, tons of people report this. I also had problems avoiding a mouse location freeze problem (the click still works but I can't move it) which appears after a few minutes of normal operations! Perhaps the same...

DOOM II I don't know but here's how DOOM 1 results are obtained, at least on the PC: https://thandor.net/benchmark/32 edit - seems like it's similar for DOOM II : https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.computer.doom.playing/c/CfC_KWwAmC4 there must be a way to provoke command line parameters on...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5a_0grWpr8 I just got a Kawai XC-3 GMega LX (a midi module I knew absolutely nothing about) so I took it for a spin and compared it to my Roland Sound Canvas-88ST and a SB pro clone chip from Cirrus Logic, the crystal CS4237B-KQ (running inside my weecee). 3...

At home: *Weecee (small silver box on top) running as a Pentium 233 MHz x86 machine and a 8gb microSD in 2gb partitions *Kawai XC-3 GMega LX midi module *Roland SC-88ST midi module *Roland MT-32 midi module *Passive sound mixer allowing SB Pro output and midi sound simultaneously (running...

Next victim is @eric Helgeson of BlueSCSI fame, in fully captured process from my Mac Plus via a RGB2HDMI.

Yes, but with a very slow scrollbar interface and very limited options, that need to be then transfered to Mac Paint or an alternative to overcome these shortcomings.

A @Ron's Computer Videos appears !!! (https://www.youtube.com/c/RonsComputerVideos)

here's a 4th mugshot attempt to recreate the face of Steve (aka u/Mac84tv ), youtube channel https://youtube.com/channel/UCW-HHEyt67RhZ6q21n4p2zQ. Again, I ensured I had permission before I posted this.
