No. The dummy SD part of it was a bit tight in the board's SD socket, but it's fine. I had a lot of corruption issues with certain bad SD cards though - before I bought the extension. I put that down to them being very low spec though, old small capacity ones I had in a drawer (2GB, 4GB). It's...

I have an SE/30 and when I first tested my BlueSCSI v2 I thought I would need the Berg connector because the text file log on the SD card reported slightly under the target voltage. I bought a Berg connector and then discovered the exact same voltage was reported, so I don't bother connecting...

I've noticed that on the Mac SE/30 the fireplace on the title screen of Beyond Dark Castle is not animated when idle. When the game starts the animation is fine. The idle fireplace animation is fine on the 68000 models of Macintosh. I noticed there was a slightly newer build of the game on...

Good point. I've gone back and installed the initial release of 7.1 and the boot time is identical to 7.0.1. However, the file requestor missing icon problem is still there. 😞 But then I applied System Update 3.0 (intended for 7.1, 7.1.1 Pro, and 7.1.2) and it fixed it! :) Reading through the...

I tried the pre-made OpenRaSCSI 7.1.1 image that is part of a big bundle on the BlueSCSI site and it seems quite a bit slower to boot than 7.0.1.

It's an SE/30 so I flip between 6.0.8 for games, and 7.0.1 for apps. I find 7.5.3 is already so much slower to start. But I have unpacked the OpenRaSCSI pre-made build of 7.0.1 and that exhibits this issue - so I don't think my install is corrupted. Does this bug not manifest for you? As I...

I have noticed what I think is a bug in System 7.0.1. In file requestors, many folders are missing their icons (SimpleText in these screenshots, but Word also shows this). I vaguely remember this irritating me 30 years ago, but wanted to check if others have this issue. I have confirmed with...

Done. https://forums.macg.co/threads/recherche-fichiers-dinstallation-word-5-1-francais.1400009/

Good idea - I did some searches on Google with everything set to French but couldn't seem to find an obvious French enthusiast forum. https://www.grenier-du-mac.net/ for instance only has Word 4.0.

I am surprised that I cannot seem to find French Word 5.1. The version that is on Macintosh Garden and some of the other sites, although listed as French, is in fact the French Canadian release (I have corrected the pages to make this clear). One bonus is that it does come with the UK English...

I use fetch on my SE/30 and connect to the root of the site. You can capture the FTP site credentials by using another device to copy the FTP link on any file on the site and examining it. The FTP folder contents of /apps or /games are too big to navigate on the Mac, so I use my phone or another...

The very same, yes. From what I remember, it's possible to reassemble the drive and leave this in the wrong position.

If I recall correctly, during the disassembly there is a sort of sliding plastic piece that kind of raises up the head like this in order that you may get some other part out without wrecking the head. So if you're lucky, this may be the cause and perhaps there is no actual damage.

Update - I was able to build a working Adobe PSPrinter 8.2.1 Installer floppy image, by adding the missing LaserWriter 7.1.2 files to the QMS version. This makes it very easy to set up for System 6 now. I have added it to Macintosh Garden. Detail follows (moved from the main guide above). The...

https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/wiki/PowerView---SuperView The DaynaPort SCSI ethernet emulation via wifi is already incredible, but this has the potential to be even more amazing. Could this be the kind of thing to expect from a BlueSCSI v3? Compact Macs that can drive external colour LCD...

I still use an ancient PostScript SIMM equipped HP LaserJet 6MP. It is shared via a USB-to-IEE1284 dongle, from a Synology NAS which uses CUPS. I have a Macintosh SE/30 which now has a BlueSCSI v2 with wifi. Surely I could get the old Mac to print... It took a crazy amount of reading, tinkering...

Got it - Stuffit 5.5 Engine can't run on 7.0.1 so even when using Stuffit Expander 5.5 it can't unstuff v5.5 files. Worked fine on System 7.5.5. Probably should be repackaged given that it's a game that runs on old B&W Macs.

That's odd. I'm using an SE/30 running 7.0.1 and I have Stuffit Expander 5.5. It seems to corrupt every time. I'll try that Restuff tool - very useful thanks.

The site = The Macintosh Garden. This post in in that subforum, perhaps you browsed it from a list of all recent posts.

How is it possible that the 68kmla forum is unable to send password reset emails and no one cares? There is an admin notice from November 2024 that just says they are aware of the issue. Madness. Is anyone here able to contact the admin?
