A bit off topic in terms of what this thread is about, but your post inspired me to try extracting all the cool logic board images the PICT resource of the Snooper 2.0 app using ResEdit & Resourcerer, but double-clicking and/or browsing the PICT resource instantly crashes both Basilisk II and...

I don't have access to my CC right now. But it appears the emulator isn't working with .dsk images I create in CiderPress for Windoze (via WINE), as I show clearly in this short video (no sound)...

How? I can't get that feature to work... So I need to copy/paste the following line in the MacOS Terminal and simply hit RETURN? ./iconv 1047_Apple_II_High_Speed_SCSI_Card_Utilities.po 1047_Apple_II_High_Speed_SCSI_Card_Utilities.DSK

More specifically, here's the exact excerpt from the link you provided... Unfortunately there were ‘low level’ problems with the design and the part never worked properly before the project was dropped as being too expensive and risky. There appears to be a huge disconnect between Andy's...

Absolutely impossible to know. Andy Hertzfeld MIGHT know, but even though Andy was close to Jobs, it wasn't THAT close. It's unfortunate Burrell Smith suffers (suffered?) from schizophrenia, as he would be the man to ask that question. Steve was never driven by cost, so I cannot speculate...

When the image is mounted by a FloppyEMU or BlueSCSI or MacSD (either as a Composite or hacked into a BlueSCSI-compatible form that will work as a regular drive image), the images are visible on the Macintosh Desktop initially, then vanish when you launch IIe Setup (which is normal), then I see...

As I said, you would need to design a custom bracket (to be 3D printed) in order to mount the LC575's drive at the proper height inside the Color Classic in order to use it. It would then be usable, of course. I am not a 3D designer. I lack the skills to make such a bracket. Therefore, I...

No because the physical height of the two drives is not the same. The one in the LC575 is the type with black plastic drive door, one would need to have a custom made mounting bracket in order to get that type to sit at the right height in the drive slot of the Color Classic.

While digging up info on the LSI LOGIC chip used on the Apple IIe Card, I came across a book about LSI which provided some very interest historical info I had never read anywhere else. Amazing what could have been! One day Doug came in with a copy of EE Times. It had a photo of Steve Jobs and...

Well, I was hoping to start filming again this evening, but I ended up spending another several hours testing instead. Here are my new findings, which again break new ground as these details haven't been reported anywhere else... 1. I previously found that the older version 2.2.1 of the IIe...

After discovering that ImageConverter doesn't work on my 800K *.po image, I broke down, went to the Dark Side, and installed WINE so I could give CiderPress a try. I converted it to DiskCopy 4.2, named it "Dazzle.img" and then double-clicked that in Basilisk II, but nothing happens. Not sure if...

Exactly! :) But I do wish to humbly thank Eric for the suggestion, as that app can help folks who prefer Windoze. (And yes, that's my deliberate and preferred spelling.) Sadly, it seems that ImageConverter doesn't work to convert .po files because it cannot even recognize/see them! Odd...

Thank you for the tip, Eric! It's interesting to see that CiderPress is a Windows-only app. We have some Windows machines at the office, but I am one of those rare Mac users who never purchased even a single Windows computer through the years. Yep, that's right... From my first use of the Mac...

Kay Koba and I were speaking last night. After I mentioned to him that 2.2.1 of the IIe Startup app resolved the problem, he reminded me of some subtle differences between the built-in floppy drive of the LC575 versus the Color Classic (CC). So even though I am still using the LC575...

PROBLEM #1 (my opening post) is NOW SOLVED! After spending countless hours on this, the solution was simple, yet non-intuitive. I read that I am supposed to use v2.2.2d1 of the IIe Setup app for the LC575 motherboard, but when I tried older version 2.2.1 just now, it resolved the problem. I...

Just to clarify what I showed in my video, the IIe Card CAN indeed "communicate" with my CC's floppy disk drive. As I said, it can Read just fine. I can Rename anything on the disk just fine. I can even use Erase in AppleWorks to delete all files just fine. But I cannot Format. And I cannot...

I never use Anti-virus on my vintage Macs. Here's my theme song. :-) I can only try to disable all Control Panels and Extensions other than the required ProDOS extension to see what happens. That will need to wait until this evening though. After countless hours of testing, my guess is...

Yes, and you can see that "volume unmounting" occur in the video I included at the end of my opening post. I say "volume" because I have not partitioned any drive. I think the IIe environment views ProDOS Volumes & Partitions the same, but they are technically different things. I appreciate...

Yes, that is what I think I am seeing in your screen photos.

But in your first screen photo, I am not noticing anything being chopped off or truncated or pixel-distorted. It looks exactly like it should when the resolution is set to 560x384. If it was displaying in something other than 560x384 mode, I would expect some kind of distortion. But again, I...
