OK, I'm now trying on a new (old stock) TEAC FD-235HF (C829-US), which I believe is similar to you have. I can successfully write 20 tracks to slideshow.edsk and 78 to slideshow_2.edsk. (Does that sound correct?) From cold boot we go right to the editor, however, and with USE FRONT + DISK we...

I would say we are very nearly there: The garbledness is different each boot -- not predictable. All the programs (Raskin, Catterm and Slideshow) show the same behavior of both a garbled load screen and then dumping you to the standard word processor (as opposed to the custom code). The...

OK I think we are ready to try this... (That's the right one reinforced; the one on the left had broken off completely and required a different bend in the metal). ^ The green disk light on the right, and "DISK" notification at the bottom of the screen, mean we're back in business...

Yes, I think I was the lucky recipient of some of these!

Thanks - I think that cinches it! :) Now I feel confident gluing the case back together….

It's interesting that a few folks (myself, Gough and this person) have measured 7.6v - 7.8v or so after a full recap. I've made the decision to leave well enough alone and not adjust the pot, under the assumption that there's a bit of loss through connectors and cabling and it's unlikely to...

Ah, that's great to hear -- 1.2.2 and 1.2.5 are the versions of the specific SCSI/Link driver from 7.5.3 and 7.7.2 Asanté installers, respectively: I suppose it's possible that there's something odd on my LC motherboard that's causing the boot crashing when the SCSI/Link is chosen -- again...

I'm curious as the current state of System 6 and the Dayna WiFi feature? I'm able to get it to work just fine with either 1.2.2 (1993) or 1.2.5 (1996) versions of the Asanté driver -- but only before a reboot. The next restart involves a bus error right after "Welcome to Macintosh". Easy enough...

This looks neat! I will try on my Cat — as soon as I repair the broken plastic guide on the floppy disk track, which I think your recent blog post detailed how to fix with a piece of metal available at a hardware store…

OK so it turns out the Black NeXT SuperFloppy does work on the Mac 👀

A few more notes: 1) There are two different products from PLI called "SuperFloppy": - A platinum SCSI device, with presumably a standard 1.44 drive capable of reading both MFM (1.44M) and GCR (400k and 800k) disks. - A black SCSI device, with a Sony 2.88 drive using a combined data and...

This is interesting because it’s very similar to the 2.88mb “PLI SuperFloppy” which they made for the NeXT. Also SCSI, in the same kind of case, but in black and with a design that matched NeXT peripherals. The use case was for NeXT Cubes, after the introduction of the NeXTStations which had...

These are all good points, and I think to a certain extent the use case for Type/Creator -> extension might be limited to cases where modern apps have a chance of reading the file...? 8BIM/JPEG -> .jpg seems like an obvious winner... probably even PICT files -> .pict, since software such as...

I have an AsantéFast 10/100 card in my 660 and would be happy to contribute to any benchmarks... I'm sure the NuBus interface itself is the limiting factor there....

Thanks for all your great work on this! Is there a way for folks to contribute more TYPE/CREATOR codes (in the right-hand column), for either better description and/or suffixing of appropriate extensions in some cases? Apologies if I've missed where the code is hosted...

I have about seventy books that I categorize as “Classic Macintosh’, a list is online here: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/pleonard/classicmacintosh There’s a bias towards graphic design, typography and DTP, partly because those are what really gave the Mac a market foothold despite it’s...
