Very interesting... https://8bitreality.com A neat concept, but I think a genuine Mach III or similar joystick would provide the best overall experience -- at least for old school Gen-X guy like me! Something about controlling vintage games with a finger on glass just doesn't sound all that...

I want to be able to show people how it is achieved regardless of whether they have a MacSD, BlueSCSI or FloppyEMU. @YMK answered my previous post, so we know how to achieve the goal on MacSD -- at least in theory, because nobody has tried it with a IIe Card yet. But, @eric seems to indicate...

So just to clarify... Copying one or more 32MB ProDOS images (with any filename extension?) to an SD card that is used in MacSD works fine with the Apple IIe card software in terms of your being able to drag each of those images into a SmartPort slot, which is shown in this screen grab from...

I was talking to Kay Koba last night about possibly doing the build of his joystick design. Eric did that. Apparently, it works well for games like PacMan in that up/down and left/right movement is all or nothing, which is all you need. But for flight simulators, you need graduated movement...

@eric What Apple II games have you found the joystick to work well for, and what games does it not work well with. I ask because Kay mentions a little of that on his blog. Which perhaps raises the question... Were the Apple branded joysticks made to work well with all the old games, or did...

I've not tested it yet, but basically the description indicates this amazing new app would save one time in that you wouldn't need to use Basilisk II or Mini vMac or even create a floppy image or drive image after downloading a SIT, BIN, HEX, SEA, IMG, etc. from Macintosh Garden, allowing you...

Honestly, I think @Ron's Computer Videos has perhaps the most fleshed out approach when it comes to getting the IIe Card to work with images. And now that I've tagged Rom, perhaps he'll chime in. First, here's Ron's Excellent Video on the subject. Next, here are the two 32MB files Ron uses...

Right, and the link you posted here... See Devon Hubner's guide on Apple IIe Card. Contains information I've read before about partitioning existing drives to have a Mac and ProDOS portion. But that's fiddly and time consuming and unnecessary, I think, because I believe you can just add...

I've actually been going through the documentation for a while, but I am still confused about the best solution for ProDOS drive images. Basically, I just want to know the best way to setup the 32MB ProDOS partitions (drives) that everyone is talking about. Even on the Savage Taylor site he...

Eric, since you did not link to that 32MB ProDOS partition (disk image file), can I assume you are referring to your post here, where you are simply using the image posted on BMOW? Also, I'm only now preparing to recap and film my experience with the Apple IIe Card for my Mystic (LC575...

No, I don't have any of those, unfortunately.

My 1.3GHz G4 Cube is the only PPC Mac, other than my Wallstreet, that I consider a fun/useful machine. But I am far more into 68k Macs than I am PPC.

I don't see how 68k Macs would be allowed in anything that is deliberately restricted by name like "PowerPC" unless one has the said PPC upgrade card. It is a "PPC Challenge" and not a "68K Challenge," after all. If 68K Macs are allowed, then the name should change. If it doesn't, it would be...

Well, folks, here's the finished Stereo Mod video which guides you through the entire process... Special thanks to @Kay K.M.Mods, @MacinJosh, and "jagmn" (68kMLA) for their kind contributions and PM exchanges which helped shape the content.

I've not tried all your other suggestions, but I did comment on JPEGview here.

While I appreciate their work, they lack of completeness on their site has frustrated me for years. A huge amount of content, especially graphics from older sites, is missing entirely, and whenever anyone out there wants something taken down, it's so easy for them to lodge a complaint and get...

John! It's great to see you here! I would assume they might do it for 10,000pcs. That traditionally has been the magic number to get anything built in China, and that number would probably make it financially worthwhile for them. However, I doubt that we could secure that level of interest...

To date, Apple has indirectly helped the vintage Mac community by turning a blind eye to things like Reloaded motherboards, logo usage and the like. They are without a doubt aware of what we do, but I guess they've decided that letting Mac fans have the freedom to love very old Apple devices in...

I can confirm today that after doing the STEREO MOD on my own Color Classic and when booted into OS 8.1, the Monitors and Sound control panel looks exactly the same as yours, without the additional controls like Balance. :-( What defines "stereo"? Is this dual Mono? I must assume it is Stereo...

As much as I really like that name, I'm not sure if folks unfamiliar with the plethora of Spanish in California would be as warm to it. But MacBreeze or BreezyMac (quite similar to FannyMac without the fanny issues) might work. I think it's not time for @Stephen to chime in with his thoughts...
