Well, it's going to take time to figure out which chips might be damaged due to the error of putting the 65C22N in the socket intended for a 53C80. You can see from my previous post that the correct SCSI chip has multiple Grounds, which means every pin marked GND gets constant Ground. Which...

Pretty incredible. Thank you for sharing that, @andrew !

Yikes! I overlooked that error when examining his photo, Kai. Could that have killed another chip on the board? Fred, can you please tell us exactly what you did prior to reporting that you are still stuck? (For example, I gave you a 7-point list in my previous post.) Even so, my concern...

So you removed the jumper and tested and saw EXACTLY the same pattern on your CRT? You then changed RAM to another set of four 1MB SIMMs? You know that the previous four SIMMs and the newly swapped-in four SIMMs are all known-good and have zero issues as per your testing in other machines? If...

@fred1212 8pcs of TMS4C1024DJ per SIMM indicates each SIMM is 1MB. You have 4pcs of 1MB SIMM yielding 4MB of RAM in total. You need to remove the jumper wire you soldered in at J16... Yes, I know it indicates "2/4M" but in reality you must have no jumper at all there when using four 1MB...

Almost every time I access my PMs, I have a need to keywordーsearch past conversations. Alas! No Can Do! The good news is that there's a Xenforo plugin that gives us what Xenforo should do out-of-the-box: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conversation-search.5788/ $35 is a small...

In August 2022, @Kay K.M.Mods created what I consider an OUTSTANDING upgrade for the Color Classic MYSTIC called: FLIPPY FLOPPY. I'm a big-time FloppyEMU user. It always frustrated me to my core when I reflected on how my otherwise great MYSTIC doesn't have an external floppy drive port on...

I did not view it as “mocking“ anyone. A little bit of poking fun with people who are understanding, just like Eric did to me earlier and I accepted it without being upset. But it seems rather clear you took it very personally and are upset. So here’s how I’m going to solve that problem. I will...

A mass emailing to all forum members is a decision the board must make. I must say though that it would have a major impact on voter turn-out for any given cause. However, the board has not send out mass email notifications during past board member elections, so I suspect they won't do it in...

I don't wish to say anything for or against a TERM LENGTH change so as not to influence anyone, but to help us all keep "the community" in perspective... TinkerDifferent has 1522 members as of the time I posted this. 56 have voted. That means only 3.4% have voted. And yet, there are just...

I'm pleased with all the recent posts. Sure, some are off topic, but that only makes the case for my earlier post, which in comparison really isn't OT at all! (y) Don't take this as chastisement though, because I'm one of those easy-going, freedom-loving types that doesn't get upset by OT...

To begin, thanks to one and all for the discussion to date. Before reading my comments below, please note I am not upset. If anything, I am now even more enthusiastic. We need this kind of discussion to stimulate the best ideas for the good of this forum. It's OKAY to disagree, so don't hold...

If shirts (long or short sleeved) are added, I would recommend Heavyweight. I really am not a fan of those super-thin shirts which can almost reveal your chest hair underneath (especially if the shirt is white). Heavyweight aren't too hot even in the summer months. Let's face it, when it's...

Separate issue? Not really that separate, no. Why? Because it relates to "keeping this forum going in the long term" just as much as term lengths do. Therefore, I felt it important and not too off topic to mention here. My mention is not intended to spark debate here, which would lead us off...

I don't mean to upset anyone, but I've long been concerned about Discord stealing the attention of the younger generation of participants away from the main forum. I don't like Discord. All posts there go into a black hole that's never indexed by Google. Now consider well that most people...

I will not comment on whether I think 3-year terms or good or bad. But I must emphasize that Kai properly points out the major issue — No Perpetual Kings. As one of the original founders, I can tell you that we designed terms to be 1-year because that seemed reasonable at the time, with the aim...

Eric, using Auto-Flash caused my BlueSCSIv1 to become non-functional. I will send you a PM with a video and other details.

@eric I have 4 questions for you below. QUESTION #1 The README says: "Debug Toggle - Used to turn on SCSI debugging. Only use if directed to." I've only tested the "BlueSCSI Debug Toggle" app within Basilisk II, which of course cannot detect a BlueSCSI. Even though the word "toggle" is in...

I guess Scotty has Shields Up on your drive! :D Again, I'm not sure what to say here, other than... It's now 2024 here in Japan so... A very Happy New Year!

Not sure what to say. Either the label doesn't match the controller PCB, or this new info turns what once was fact into fiction.
