Aw, thanks! It was fun. There is more to explore on this system.

Ouch! Hopefully your drive head didn't get caught on anything, which seems to be the way that kills drives. I've got to try to build Dwight Elvey's floppy converter and plug a Gotek into it one of these days. The Canon drives suck.

I was able to make, and then hack, disk images for the Canon Cat, Jef Raskin's 1987 "work processor." Despite what Canon sold it as, though, Raskin always intended it as a fully working general purpose computer. It has a 68000 CPU and its ROMs are primarily programmed in tForth, a...

Those look like proper numbers, so I don't think the charging circuit is necessarily at fault. I would really try it with a different battery if you can. In my experience, charging issues were more often due to battery defects than logic board ones, and they're certainly easier to replace.

I have a /275 and a TAM, though the 275 has a Twin Turbo card for video and the TAM doesn't have any cards installed (just CSII Ethernet), so I guess it will be worth observing them to see.

Are you sure the cycle count is accurate? 64 cycles sounds suspiciously "even."

Just the /300?

Realistically I don't think they could leave many lines off. The Tulip in the CSII Ethernet card is an off-the-shelf part and it would likely have made it more expensive to synthesize any missing signals, which would have defeated the purpose.

As an owner of a Stern Sopranos and Williams ST:TNG, I haven't been happy with many pinball simulations. I like The Pinball Arcade, but that's obviously very new. If I were to pick for classic Mac, though, it would be the Pro Pinball series, especially Fantastic Journey. It has the best physics...

Nice work, though I'm assuming that means it works with the PowerPC card deactivated.

Excellent work, especially since I'm out of CSII Ethernet cards between my TAM and 6500. That said, I don't recall them being speed demons on either system. It did seem a little sprightlier in BeOS.

Looks like a good meet. Too bad about the weather (and being on the wrong coast :D ).

I have an Androda screen grabber, but my prototype Portable is non-backlit.

You could try Tenfourbird. This is a rebuild of Thunderbird 38 using TenFourFox code. It may be recent enough to open that.

Theoretically the message in a system error dialogue can be modified by altering the system error alert table. See Inside Macintosh's System Error Handler. It's possible something had altered it or stomped on that block of memory.

I use Crypto Ancienne, but then, I wrote it. Note that the browser needs to support it (or at least be tricked into supporting it, since HTTPS over HTTP is inherently insecure - see documentation for details). https://github.com/classilla/cryanc

Excellent!

You say "the" flash drive. Does it do it with every flash drive?

There's error sounds and there's error sounds. One is synthesized by the computer (bad RAM) and one is emitted as a physical consequence of hardware failure (click of death), so one would be a perfect recreation but the second would require recording.

Can you be more specific about the angle you want? I'm in the US with a TAM, but I may not be able to do this for a bit, since I have a family issue to deal with first.
