It's an interesting system but (even by the standards of the era) quite limited. You're basically having to start off finding or writing, then burning your own EPROMs, to do anything notable. I love the look of it but it would gather dust in my house. And I say that as someone sitting next to a...

Got Androda's new RAM card and it works great in my DVT prototype Portable (8MB). Decided to post some pictures - including of the early System 7.0 demo presentation it had on its hard disk from the prior owner. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/06/new-ram-card-prototype-mac-portable.html

That's ... a bit of an oversimplification. For 9.0 and 9.0.4 that was probably true (especially if you consider CarbonLib "OS X junk"), but 9.1 is actually technically different under the hood (requires an MMU, for one thing, which is why SheepShaver can't run it). It would be more accurate to...

I look forward to the source code! That sounds like a clever solution.

Patch the system without modifying the system file? Absolutely. You can alter the vectors in RAM, for example.

My GS has a TransWarp, an AI InnerDrive and a GG Labs 8MB RAM card. Thinking about a proper SCSI card or network, though. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2020/11/not-refurb-weekend-apple-iigs.html https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-quest-for-wolfenstein-3d-music-on.html

The KIM-1 was the first 6502-based computer, with 1K (actually 1152 bytes) of RAM and a 1MHz clock speed. It has serial routines, but the DECtalk Express it's connected to as a speech synthesizer (using Perfect Paul, which famously was the basis for Professor Hawking's voice) only talks at...

Probably the best approach, but what about the card wasn't working with the 8500 extension not loaded?

It looks like you have all the necessary extensions. While the 8500 extension shouldn't make you crash, you can just disable it and the card should still work fine.

What ATI extensions do you have on the system, exactly?

Nicely done!

Yes, please.

In addition to an AmigaOS with ixemul port, you can now use carl, a mini-curl clone, as an MPW tool for TLS 1.3 from classic Mac OS. It compiles with MrC. More here: https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/04/crypto-ancienne-22-now-supported-on.html Next step is to make an inetd clone that can run MPW...

Great detective work. Glad another system is restored to function.

Can we merge this with the other thread?

I'd just use one of the WiFi game adapter boxes.

I use a Twin Turbo in my 6500, but for a specific purpose: it's 2D accelerated in BeOS, which is its primary OS. My TAM just uses the onboard Rage.

ISTR (perhaps trag can elucidate) that there is some issue with cards with PCI-PCI bridges and the 6400/6500. That said, my TAM had a Sonnet combo USB-FW card in it and the TAM is basically a 6500, so I can recommend one of those.

I think they used the plastic from an Alcon container. I agree this is a homebrew device.

That's all I got. You've stumped me on this one.
