The schematic for J8 of the 6500 says the reserved pins are for a PCI adapter card. I suppose the PCI adapter card is an Apple specific adapter so it can do weird stuff like requiring reserved pins to handle separate interrupts. Where's the schematic for the riser (PCI adapter card?)? Are you...

Every slot has 4 interrupt pins A,B,C,D. These may be reordered per slot. Usually a PCI card uses int A. Int A may be connected to int A or B or C or D on the motherboard or riser because of the reordering. A multifunction card may use more of the interrupt pins (A,B,C,D). None of that matters...

All bridges have the same access. I don't have a ROM with Open Firmware code that mentions a bridge 3. Maybe it exists in an Apple Network Server? Or some kind of prototype machine? Bridge 0 is usually @F000000 Bridge 1 is usually @F200000 Bridge 2 is usually @F400000 Bridge 3 is usually @F600000

Apple II question: Does it draw even and odd fields of an NTSC frame? Can VBL be detected? If yes to both, then wouldn't it be possible to create a 280x384 interlaced mode by switching between HGR and HGR2 at 60Hz? Then you could have a 560x384 mode by switching between DHGR page 1 and DHGR...

Did you check the Apple Developer Discs? Maybe 1995 Reference Library discs: https://archive.org/download/Apple_Developer_Discs_1989-2009/1995/Reference%20Library/

The Apple //jse GL Renderer seems to do color fringing more accurately than Virtual ][ (at least according to my expectations for my test image A - the pink and aqua columns on the right side are mostly a single color).

I tried A2D using Apple //jse. I don't think A2D supports loading lores or double lores images? A2D loads HR as DHGR. You can tell by moving the mouse which makes the cursor visible. The cursor is definitely using DHR pixels. The HGR image is loaded into the main column of DHGR immediately. You...

A2D is interesting. Does it load everything as DHGR or does it switch graphics mode to match the input file? Certainly DHGR can display anything that GR, DGR, and HGR can since it allows explicit control over all 560 horizontal displayable bits and you shouldn't be able to tell the difference...

Current versions of DiskWarrior don't preserve the HFS Wrapper of old HFS+ partitions that you might use with a Power Mac.

MONO is meant to be a 280x192 black & white image instead of 140x192 color image. The MONO and HGR and DHR examples are using a naive bits to color conversion method which is not what real hardware would do. A single 25% brightness DHGR pixel should be half the width of a HGR color pixel and a...

Does opening the file twice give an error or the same fsRef number or a different fsRef?

Each paramblock should have it's own flag - you can make it part of a metaparamblock which can hold other info about the queued I/O such as timer info or whatever. Does PBReadForkAsync return an error as the function result? I mean, does it return noErr all the time? I wonder if the second...

Why not set a completion routine in the parameter block, then use that to set a flag or to fixup ioResult? Your wait loop is not waiting for a specific time period - it depends on how fast it can printf 10 times. I don't see where you kill the I/O when it's taking too long. Then you reuse that...

How bricked is it? Do you have a PC or Intel Mac that can run DOS or Windows? nvflash.v5.95.0.1-win can work in Windows. Which Mac ROM did you try? Do you have the original PC ROM? Did you copy the soft straps and memory info from the PC ROM to the Mac ROM? Does the Quadro FX 4500 have 256 MB or...

I don't know. USB has more CPU overhead than a PCI NIC? Old World Macs had 10Base-T. New World Macs got 100Base-T. Power Mac G4 (Gigabit) and later got 1000Base-T.

A USB 3.0 card uses XHCI. You need USB 2.0 EHCI or 1.1 OHCI for PowerPC Mac unless you want to try and port a XHCI driver (there exists a third party open source XHCI driver for Mac OS X but I don't think it's appropriate for Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 but I haven't tried). USB 1.1 is 12 Mbps (≈1.2...

Seems like Buckshot is not saving DLO images correctly. In my source test image, the diagonal line reaches the bottom line. In the DLO result, the diagonal line doesn't reach the bottom line. It seems the image was stretched horizontally so that only 40 of the 80 pixels are represented. It looks...
