Cool! Does it work with AppleTalk? (As long as the other side treats AppleTalk nicely)

As my Macintosh Classic restoring project has stalled, I didn't do any reverse-engineering attempts yet.. :(

Best buy a 3.5“ ATA/IDE (not SATA) hard drive enclosure and put your drive in.. You should then be able to connect it to your modern Mac and transfer the files.

You could try archive.org

You can also start MacsBug inside UTM running Mac OS 9.2, but there is an issue with keyboard input

It appears to be buggy, but I tried it in Qemu Quadra 800 running MacOS 8.0.

Qemu? I haven‘t tried MacsBug, but it can run A/UX, so it should be a fairly accurate emulation

G Well, ESD could harm a chip during improper handling and the effects may appear a long time after out of the blue. Was this card ever exposed to a harmful electric field, maybe wrapped in plastic foil or so?

Hi everyone, I have a fully working Atari Mega 4 with Megafile 60 hard disk. Now I'd like to make a backup of the hard disk in case it should fail in the future. I can transfer files to my vintage Macs using 720k floppy disks, but this would be a tedious work ;) What can I do? I guess there...

No, using an USB-C to Micro-USB cable, but it should not make a difference. Did you try another cable? There are some cheap charger cables without data wires.

I have an ESP32 board which probably uses the same USB<->UART chip. It works fine on my M1 Pro MBP with Monterrey and I don't remember installing any drivers for it. I use the ESP-IDF flash tool. The device shows up as /dev/cu.usbserial-0001. Product id (see System Information.app) is 0xea60...

Oh dear, you‘re right! That‘s why you need four of them! Sorry for the misinformation 🫣

Yes this will likely work as long as the rated access time is equal or lower and the pinout is the same.

Makes perfect sense. Furthermore, NuBus access would have been a lot faster than hard drive or even floppy access, which should be vital for drawing text.

I don’t exactly know what the error message could mean, but assuming that XPostFacto might require CarbonLib, I would make sure it is installed and updated. This is just a quick guess and others might have better ideas 😉

Be careful with the corroded pads. The cap goo could have crept under them and weakened the bonding to the pcb.

LocalTalk and OSX? 🤤

I can recommend the Radeon 7000: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/driving-a-23“-dvi-cinema-display-from-a-powermac-8500.43187/

Good to know!

That‘s the address bus with its 32 bits/pins numbered 0…31
