    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Ahh thats not the case here with the interrupt switch.. It either bombs or I get the white dialog box the the > sign... Assuming thats Microbug. its been over 30 years since I used that and I had the MacsBug extension I believe. So your custom SCSI emulator is behaving the same way as my...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    So you are seeing the same issue with a standard SCSI drive? If I put it to sleep, then hit a key to wake, then double click a folder to freeze, then hit the interrupt the machine locks up and i lose the mouse. Does the OS version matter ? I tried both on system 6.0.8 when i can get the debugger...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    wow interesting so you are seeing the same issue. Is it the BlueSCSI? I just made a RAM disk and woke from sleep and tried to launch an app from the RAM disk and it behaved the same way with the delay.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I just did a test with System 7.5.3 and when I go to the Control Strip and select “spin down hard drive” I see the BlueSCSI powers down. I then double clicked a folder and the BlueSCSI powers back up and I get the “watch” busy cursor but I have to wait 3 minutes for BlueSCSI activity.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Interesting you see no pattern. Maybe I have an isolated issue then. Mines the latest v2 version. What does it do when you wake it up from sleep and cause disk activity by opening a folder, menu item, app etc? Mine is not crashing it just takes several minutes to wake up.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I have the macintosh portable adapter and the desktop BlueSCSI working well on my portable but when I wake the computer from sleep the BlueSCSI takes several minutes to “spin up” and start working to the point it is faster just to hit reset and reboot the machine. is this a known issue and is...

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    Hello all who might be interested in this sort of thing, I finished going over this pretty bad board, I fixed all the broken traces I have found so far and re-capped the board. I finally got the power button to kick the power supply on so the power circuit is now working. I rigged a bench...

    sounds good. Yeah I’m on the hunt for a LCD display. I tried to fix mine that had a couple missing single pixel rows and I swapped some driver chips and it got worse. I think the contacts on the glass just deteriorate over time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Need someone to manufacture...

    Well the slightest little imperfection and they don’t roll. So this might not be a good option. I’m going to try some of this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/295763912403?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3sRbM8MHTG6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vQ425jH5TBq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Recreating Macintosh Portable Hybrid Module

    Any insight on who is behind the “New Hybrid Replacement for Macintosh Portable with Headers Rev 1.4” on eBay sold by “supersvga”? I wasn’t familiar with this one when I did my repair and ended up using the one on eBay. Seems to be working ok… I hope.. but doesn’t not look like a reverse...

    I think I’m willing. I just haven’t found the way yet. I’ve done it before to other LCD panels with that EL sheet stuff.
