Yes, I highly recommend it. Here's the product page: https://androda.work/product/macintosh-portable-battery-eliminator/

I guess I am the only person now interested in this thread. That's perfectly fine. Talking to myself has yielded rewards in the past, and it shall also reward the reader as I make new discoveries such as that which I am now about to say. I found the following Github post by "benjamink"...

I was able to get it setup under System 7.5.5 on my Macintosh Portable today. Can't use Open Transport (any version) on the 68000 processor, so I used MacTCP (classic networking). Same setup as under System 6.0.8. I got Turbo Gopher v1.08b4 to work, and I can access Gopher sites like System 7...

Okay, no replies. That means, I need to clarify to provoke people to reply! :) When I said the ACT LED was flashing in my previous post, I meant in that special way it does when WIFI is active, not when there is disk activity. Seems pretty clear there is a wake-from-sleep bug taking place...

Bad news, folks. I just got BSv2 WIFI to work under System 6.0.8 on my 5126 Portable, but I am finding that whenever the ACT LED is flashing, if the machine is put to Sleep manually or goes to Sleep automatically, when I press any key to wake, the machine freezes. For details, see the ending of...

As described in my earlier post, I was successful in getting BSv2 WIFI to work properly with Open Transport running under System 7.1 and higher. Today, I shall describe my experience getting BSv2 WIFI to work under System 6.0.8 running on a Macintosh Portable which has a 16MHz 68000 processor...

I should add that even though my 5126 motherboard had been professionally recapped, the person who did the recapping asked if I minded if he used radial caps for C16 and C8, and I gave him the OK on that. Typically, radials have better specs than most axials anyway, so I didn't mind. However...

@eric I have a good number of useful modern Intel Macs that are not bleeding-edge modern in that they only run macOS up to Monterey 12.7.4. The problem is that your awesome Mini vMac apps require 14.2 (Sonoma) or newer. Any way to make that OS requirement a tad more flexible? Monterey really...

More benchmarks with the 5MB RAM setting (i.e., maximum CPU performance), and with BlueSCSIv2 using the MacPlus code in the .ini file: Below labeled "Mac SE" is an unaccelerated 8MHz Mac SE compared to 5126 Backlit Portable ("This Machine") at left (Speedometer 3.23): Below is the same SE...

Below is a photo of the 5126 motherboard by @Branchus , and we can see C15 is the hybrid / power manager area in the lower left: When I had my 5126 recapped, there was a fair amount of trace damage in the area of C24, C15 and C26. Meaning, some traces had to be rebuilt with overlaid wire...

I've just tested the v1.3.1 "Portable" control panel (see attached file in my earlier post.) while booted into System 6.0.8 and am pleased to report complete success in eliminating that bothersome tick sound every 10 seconds! Kudos to @SuperSVGA for providing that solution! Now for the bad...

Thank you very much for testing. Did you try maximizing the volume to level 7 and then listening carefully for at least 20 or 30 seconds through the headphone jack to see if you could hear a soft tick sound every 10 seconds? The reason I ask is because if your volume setting is set completely...

Well, that is beyond my capabilities. But perhaps someone much smarter than me, like @Androda , might be able to accomplish that. The goal here is to get all 7MB of a RAM Card to work without taking that 26% CPU speed hit.

@SuperSVGA Thanks! I just changed that "03"... ...to "01"... Interestingly, when I then checked the "vers" resource, it shows 1.0.3... I changed that to be 1.3.1, in light of the "hack" I just made... Attached below you will find a ZIP file containing the disk image holding the...

In your post here in my pop noise thread, you said the v1.3 "Portable" control panel for System 6 includes 2 ROM patches. I have no idea how all that works, but it makes me wonder if the ROM could similarly be patched in this case too, such that the DTACK register WOULD be accessed on wake from...

@nottomhanks Craig, THANK YOU! You sir, have the honor of being the first person who has made time to test in a similar manner to me and who has confirmed what I have confirmed! I am overjoyed at this testing because it is critically important to establish the baseline noise and what is...

Was it really "fix"? I thought there was an updated RAM card from Androda with a new switch, but then it was found to have manufacturing issues (currently being resolved). Even so, the switch was supposed to allow the user to basically do what I did. Switch to a lower amount of RAM for...

I too ran Speedometer 3.23 this evening. And I would encourage everyone else who posted benchmarks to report WHICH VERSION of Speedometer was used because the numbers change a lot among different Speedometer versions. Also note that Speedometer version 4 crashes with a trap error on my 5126...

Thank you for the advice. I just measured resistance between the two pin-1's on both SONY sound chips and individually to the Ground plane. No problems detected.
