I thought it would be funny to teather my PowerBook 180 to my mobile WiFi hotspot and send a text to a friend while at the beach or Starbucks or something. I found this post where someone was sending an iMessage from a 68k Mac a couple years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30489003...

Ohhh it works perfect, I have a ton Of that tubing now if you want some ( Just watched your YouTube vid repairing a board).

Here’s a vid of the data bus being active (after several minutes hitting the break key and getting lucky it comes to live sort of…) With all roms installed the screen never changes like it should from the random characters to the main command line prompt to allow you to enter BASIC. With...

A friend gave me a Superboard II and I just started to troubleshoot it but could use some help from someone familiar with this board. Anyone out there? So far I’ve confirmed the following: • 6502 is good (tested on Asteroids arcade board) • 2114 RAM good • Character generator chip good...

Nice workaround for modern printers. Is there a way to get my ImageWriter to print over Wi-Fi with my BlueSCSI Wi-Fi enabled 68K macs?

Sometimes the WiFi doesn’t connect so it is helpful to use JCS’ WiFi D/A.

Anyone have or know where to find information on setting up a BlueSCSI on an Atari ST? Looking for an alternative to an UltraSATAN.

Looks like Androda’s new 2023 10a board fixes the issue so no need for the hack anymore 👍 I swapped my board out for a wifi version and it’s the latest board and confirmed it wakes from sleep now without issue. Saw a mention of this in the release notes.

OB is probably the only town left that hasn’t been gentrified and yuppyfied.

Ahh where all the nerdy action is :)

Hello also from CA. What part ? I am in San Diego.

I remember my 16 year old self laughing at these when I saw them hanging on a rack (like sunglasses) at Sav•On and thinking “get a real computer” as if my Atari 800xl was a “real” computer 😂

I’ve since found out that bag was initially for an Apple //c. but the PowerBook fits perfectly. Just a few inches deeper but width wise it’s perfect.

Years ago when I was a full time Mac programmer I used the interapplication communication architecture. I can’t remember the details but it was apple event based. Found this article https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/mac/pdf/Interapplication_Communication/Intro_to_IAC.pdf

I just tried out JCS’s BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory and it works great. I was thinking of modding the code to save the selection to a prefs file so it auto re-connects to the last chosen SSID. Then I thought what would be really cool is to make a cdev (like superclock) so the signal...

With my new retro OG bag, my WiFi BlueSCSI and my hipster mustache I am now equipped for a Starbucks session 😆

Welp... Now I can't reproduce it. 🤷‍♂️ So weird. I could consistently reproduce it the other day and now the issue seems to have vanished. My favorite kind of issue lol

If any of you want to fix the issue where the powerbook freezes up (for several minutes) after waking the powerbook from sleep, I came up with a hack workaround "fix"... The issue is that when you wake up the powerbook, the Pi Pico doesn't boot up fast enough when the powerbook "spins up the...

Ahhh I can try that. Yeah, no way to see what the driver is? Not even on a modern machine with a hex editor or something? I’ve been beating on it copying folders etc and it’s fine. So seams like it was specific to that image. Could the extension matter at all? .hda vs .img. I figured if I...

So the only thing holding me back from installing a pico W internally for Wi-Fi in the PB180 instead of an external db25 is two things. • The initial wifi connect has been a bit spotty. As mentioned I can monitor it connecting from my iPhone app upon powering up the BlueSCSI before plugging it...
