I lack the skill set to do that, sadly, Ron. But I am hoping right alongside you. Because honestly, I really don't like switching off 32-bit addressing and restarting whenever I want to use my Apple IIe Card and then want to use Mac apps which require more memory than 24-bit addressing allows...

Which implies it is a technological oversight by Apple that may one day be overcome by some savvy vintage Mac programmers. I can only hope so, Ron!

I have no idea what that $100 Hakko model is, but if it is a FX-888D, I see in the =1&s_keyword=FX-888D#resultAnc']manual that there are 3 transformer versions, which mean 3 different product versions:

I don’t doubt your word, but I would love to see an eBay link to such a deal. Even so, $200 is really pushing the upper limits for the average hobbyist. And based on what you said that doesn’t appear to include both the heater and the hot air station. So I believe this is really why most people...

I've actually never used a preheater, mainly because of cost and the fact you need to have a rather large one to better ensure you can preheat just about any motherboard you will need to work on. I actually saw a "hot plate" in a video by @Branchus, and bought one, but it came crushed (from the...

I don’t mean to be critical whatsoever but I’ve always been curious about the twist off method. The reason why it always worried me is because you don’t always know the pad integrity. The pads need to have some level of adhesion to the PCB in order for the twist off method to even work. But if...

I must say, that is a great video. And yet, after all that work, he replaced the leaky electrolytic capacitors with new electrolytic, rather than choose a replacement with a solid electrolyte capacitor which will never leak. Oh well, at least they will likely get 20 years of use out of it...

I have 3 BlueSCSI devices. Two are the internal type, and one is DB25. Two are version 1.1-a hardware (with STM32F & WCH clone chips) and another is 1.0-c (STM32). I have flashed them with various firmware updates over time, and now all are running the newest Dec. 2022 firmware without issue...

Yet another amazing team. Congratulations!

Welcome to TinkerDifferent, @AvadonDragon . It's great to have you here!

@jasa1063 Based on the previous reply below, I think we just need to wait until the end of February, because... well... @Zane Kaminski did say "sooner than [March 2023]" after all! :-) I should also mention that being able to have acceleration without distorted sound is important for the...

Very interesting! Thanks. When you post the next test results with your new card, please let us know the brand, capacity and model of your two SD cards. Also, when you first told me about the overclocking capability of BlueSCSI v1, I was pleasantly surprised; and as you know, I confirmed the...

SCSI Probe

@eric It all sounds quite spectacular. Two questions: 1. I am familiar with config files on my MacSD units, but when I use v1 BlueSCSI hardware, the only files are my drive images and the auto-generated log file. As such, is the "config file" mentioned in your opening post something unique...

A more comprehensive chart showing vintage Mac SCSI data transfer rates is given below, and it has cute bitmapped icons of the Macs too! https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/macintosh/Mac%20History%20-%20Models%2084%2095.pdf The LC575 motherboard in my Color Classic...

Pretty amazing stuff, Eric. Congratulations on the release. While it certainly will benefit PPC Macs the most, I can't wait to test this on a 50MHz CC Mystic! The hot swappable SD card is truly ground-breaking. Being able to eject the SD, pop it into a modern Mac to delete or add software...

@Tony359 released his video below, and I just finished watching it... It seems Tony used the Sept. 2022 version firmware presented in this 68kMLA post to program a PIC16F88 DIP, which is a drop-in replacement for the stock IC on the Mac SE motherboard. That is a wonderful solution because it...

I'm pleased to report there is now a fix for audio glitching when using a Carrera040 accelerator card (original or clone) in an SE/30, thanks to a revised Control Panel from @Bolle and GeekDot. I have uploaded it to the Macintosh Garden here...

And they come shining through! All of them look great, Kay!
