    SMC ROM Simm programming

    I emphasized that the true creator of the ROM SIMM Programmer (the v2 hardware currently being sold as "ROMmate") is Downtown Doug Brown in my earlier posts because he is technically not associated with CayMac, other than having given them permission to move forward with the sale of his...

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    @retr01 :) Here's the "what works chart" in hard-to-read text form: The official Kero's Mac Mods programming solution for the 2MB SMC ROM SIMM is the T48 programmer in combination with Crucible v1.1 (macOS software app), as per that info showing on the SMC ROM SIMM product page. As I...

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    The T48 is not supported by the macOS software for the TL866II+, unfortunately.

    Interware SE/30 accelerator

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but because I own a DiiMO (50MHz) and the socketed 50MHz '030 Daystar PowerCache (which is a tad slower than the DiiMO due to its smaller cache memory), I would be interested in seeing your benchmark comparisons to see how much less "vroom" the Interware...

    SMC ROM Simm programming

    @retr01 Kay does make a good point. And he has kindly given me that same advice in the past too. I certainly do not want to discount the important of his recommendation at all. Even so, I will share my story below and then provide you with your two options. MY STORY I ultimately broke down...

    VCFMW 2024 - September 7-8

    Wow, @eric , that was a pretty incredible haul! Somebody needs to hurry up and invent teleportation so I can attend those shows on a regular basis! (Or be given the power of Q... whichever.)

    Help me figure out how to sign a macOS app

    Colin, I have zero idea how to answer your question, but for the sheer fun of it, I sent a slightly edited (for clarity) version of your post to ChatGPT4o, and it replied back as follows (keeping in mind that it can make mistakes)... To sign an app using codesign on macOS, you need an Apple...

    Strange Comments on YouTube — SPAM?

    I appreciate the replies. I went ahead and just deleted the oddball comments just now. We'll see if they return in the future.

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

    @Zane Kaminski Is there a way to disable the acceleration and run the SE at the stock 8MHz speed? The Levco SpeedCard has that ability via Programmer's Switch, which can be useful at times to run software that otherwise would be problematic at a higher clock speed. Of course, the biggest...

    Strange Comments on YouTube — SPAM?

    Question for those of you into YouTube, like @This Does Not Compute , @Mac84 and @Branchus (and others)... Some of my videos have recently been getting an influx of unusual comments like this: They didn't come all at once, and I got an email notification for each. At first, I thought it was...

    Crucible for the SMC ROM SIMM

    After reading what @dougg3 wrote, I went back through my old emails from August 2023 (when I made my ROM SIMM video), and found that I did test what Doug suggests... I used the Kero's Mac Mods "Crucible" app to create a bootable System 6.0.7 DSK image, then I used the app to generate the 4...

    Crucible for the SMC ROM SIMM

    Colin, I cannot speak for Crucible v1.1 or a future v1.2 version that may add the functionality, but Downtown Doug Brown's SIMM Programmer 2.0 app allows you to do either, as I demonstrate here. The app works on all ROM SIMMs from all vendors, and I confirmed it to work perfectly with the...

    BlueSCSI v2 Pico - Low cost, open hardware, fast SCSI device!

    I see from the Pico2 product page, it offers "a higher core clock speed, double the memory, more powerful Arm cores, optional RISC‑V cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities," plus it is backward compatible. I assume that to the end user, a BSv2 using a Pico2 would...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    @Garrett Because I have not yet done the software overclock, and because I don’t own a 475, I’m not equipped to answer your question. However, I keyword-searched all pages in the other forum’s thread for “SCSI“ and I found the following post from @Bolle ...

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    Folks, @Mr. Fahrenheit very kindly alerted me to a very surprising discussion at the other forum which introduces a groundbreaking discovery by Mustermann. Apparently, you can now overclock an LC 475, CC Mystic and other machines by software alone, without even using Spicy O'Clock, from @Kay...

    Building my own 68k Performa / LC / Color Classic Test Bench

    He may not have had time, or maybe he decided against it due to issues presented by "the CORRECT way" method (i.e., "Apple prototype" method) mentioned in his 68kMLA thread. "What issues," you ask? Please read all of the posts by dkjones96 on page 7 of the thread, starting here...

    Help loading GR, HGR, DGR AND DHGR image files in the Apple II

    Gerard Putter (creator of the Virtual ][ emulator) wrote me back to say this: What could help is using the inspector. Double resolution involves 0xC05E (to switch it on) and 0xC05F (switch off). By setting an I/O breakpoints on those addresses you can determine whether they are triggered. So...
