    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    No because I eat like a crazy lion so as to have more time to test, but I still don't have enough time on my lunch breaks. That's because I have to pull everything from storage, set everything up, test, then tear it all down and pack it back in storage because this is my workplace and we need...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    If you are looking at my scope screenshots, you will see the Power-ON happens, then Vcc rises to 5.0V. RESET/HALT remains low during that time. Then there is another 300ms with RESET/HALT remaining low, and after that it rises to 5v. That is normal. In other words... With or without the...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Not sure. The website here only talks about: 1. New OLED display 2. New SD Card slot (I like the old push-to-eject slot better) 3. Black PCB color 4. New frosted case The adapter you use to connect to the external drive connector is also a tiny bit different from Model B. But like I said...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Steve Chamberlin replied to me by email today suggesting I use my scope to probe Vcc and Reset/Halt on the 68000. I did that but couldn't find any issues, as you can see from my marked-up scope screenshots below. Power-ON Timings (RESET/HALT goes HI about 300ms after Vcc rises to 5v)...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @ppuskari While I have been using SCSI Director Pro 4.0 exclusively “for testing,” I’ve never installed a SCSI Director Pro “driver” on any SCSI drive. My BlueSCSI v1 drive volumes all have the Eric Helgeson recommended HD SC Setup 7.3.5 driver installed.

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @iPhil64 Thank you for testing your SE Reloaded board with FloppyEMU Model C. I’ve been testing Model B, but I have a Model C at home. I will bring it to work tomorrow and give it a test on my lunch break!

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @Zane Kaminski & @Kai Robinson & Steve Chamberlin: After much testing, the root cause of the Double Bong Problem is the FloppyEMU, even with the newest 20240209 Mac Firmware flashed to it. (Mine is Model B.) The Double Bong problem NEVER occurs on my stock SE motherboard. The Double Bong...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    When testing WarpSE-0.6h on the stock Apple SE motherboard while booted into System 7.1 off my BlueSCSIv1, I get these results: (Screenshot is in color because I saved the results file on my SE, then removed the SD card and put it in my modern Mac running Basilisk II, where I made the...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Video demonstration and discussion about the "double bong" problem that currently only seems to be affecting SE Reloaded, not the stock SE motherboard. 😥

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    I did NOT use the new Baby Face PSU in any of my testing. I have been exclusively using the stock SONY PSU that Kai kindly sent to me, along with the entire SE machine, prior to my SE Reloaded build. I merely cranked up the voltage a bit (but not to max) using the blue POT inside that SONY PSU...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Here's my report for this evening... ==================== 0.6f flashed to WarpSE ==================== 1. Tested my stock Apple SE board in the stock condition, with no drives or WarpSE attached. No Mouse or Keyboard attached either Single bong. All is well. I know it would be, but I needed...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Lunch break over. I tested 0.6f once again (because I did not see Zane's prior two posts about "g" firmware). For some reason, I'm getting two bongs: On top of that, when I have my FloppyEMU attached, with the power off, if I press and hold INTERRUPT, when I power on, it bongs and won't...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    For my fellow WarpSE beta testers having freezing or crashing problems, I strongly advise use of Norton Disk Doctor 3.5.3 and Disinfectant 3.7.1 to make 100% sure there are no oddball things going on with your drive structure or files. That remains true even if you seem to have no issues with...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Well, like I said in my earlier posts, I have two serial loopback connectors that I made specifically for use with Snooper 2, and with those installed, Snooper 2 gives both serial ports a clean bill of health. So if that is a sufficient test, I’m happy to leave it at that. You can see the fix I...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Petar, Previously you said Local talk, and your recent post says Appletalk. I’ve not tried networking, but I did find a couple PhoneNet adapters at home I could try. In what way did you setup yours? If you have or can make loopback plugs for the Printer and Modem ports, I’d love to hear if...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Original ADB chip from the stock SE motherboard you shipped me, Kai. But like I’ve said, the mouse works perfectly fine with no accelerators installed. The mouse also works perfectly fine with the 16 MHz 68000 Levco Speedcard installed.

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Tested 0.6f again after work: 1. No artifacts at Power-ON. I think you eradicated that problem entirely, Zane. Great job! 2. SCSI Director Pro 4.0 scores are exactly the same as I showed in this post where I was testing 0.6b. 3. Speedometer 3.23 scores are only slightly higher (within...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @Zane Kaminski My first test of 0.6f shows no artifacts at all at first power on. That's a VERY positive sign! But I need to disconnect for a while and then try again to be sure. I will do that tonight after work. Sadly, the mouse problems remain. I filmed my short testing session for you here:

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    @ppuskari I've not tested LocalTalk, but I have used my home-made Serial Loopback Plugs (that link to my video shows you how to make them) in combination with Snooper 2.0 to check the Serial Ports, and Snooper gave my motherboard (with WarpSE installed and enabled) a clean bill of health from...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Here's what I see on the CRT when FLASHING and when the Power-ON artifacts appear: Stock SE Motherboard: SE Reloaded Motherboard: My testing of 0.6e showed the same old problems: 1. Artifacts (see above) at first power-on, but I can usually get a normal screen if I power off for a few...
