Sure, but like cameras, the best calendar/phone book/to do list/etc. is the one you've actually got. I liked my Zire 72 a lot but I stopped carrying it regularly after I got an iPhone 3GS. That's kind of the problem. :(

That's a nice haul. I'd love to play with the PalmPix. On the other hand, I think the idea of the LifeDrive was better than the execution. Palms can make nifty little networked remotes with some hardware assistance. Here, there's a Bluetooth LAP (note: not PAN) access point they can connect to...

I appreciate it, but it's not that 10-second tick you describe. It's just abnormally quiet, sometimes scratchy audio.

Specifically, what does this look like? I have a working prototype Portable with bad sound (caps were done), so I'm interested to hear if this might fix it. I also have a dead Portable that didn't come back to life after a recap. I'm suspecting the hybrid but I could be wrong. It was probably...

That would be good for studying words, and I may well use that soon, but we wanted to get a little more information on the PowerPC exception that got thrown. Can the DEFAULT CATCH! routine be patched to do a full PowerPC register dump?

I have a MacClip Jr in my own 800 and it works well, though I just run it at 38MHz. This works fine in A/UX and also allows me to install and remove the Power Mac 601 card "freely" (as free as you can with that damn case) without having to mess with the clip.

I'm surprised to hear you had that much difficulty with getting AUI MAUs. They seemed to multiply like hamsters in my drawer at work. Admittedly that was back in the late 1990s but even now they pop up in weird places in my storage closet.

It would be nice (I don't know if you, @joevt , have developed such tools already) to have some way to do debugging in Open Firmware. Rairii/Wack0 asked about getting a register dump to analyse that veneer exception and understand why it won't run it, but I'm not aware of an easy way to do that.

OK, I've finally posted my detailed work log on the 1.1.20.1 and 2.26NT ROMs with a lot of commentary. http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2026/01/hands-on-with-two-apple-network-server.html

If you know Lua, Plua is a great little scripting engine. Works well on 68K and ARM Palms.

Those monitors are also subject to bad solder joins. I had something similar happen with mine. The length of time makes me wonder about thermal expansion making an iffy connection worse.

This is a bit of an oversimplification, but an easy discriminator is QFPs have pins on the sides and PGAs have pins underneath. The good news is you can't easily harm them by accidentally putting one in the wrong socket; even if they fit they won't make any connections.

No, onboard graphics and internal fast SCSI do not work in the 1.1.20.1 ROM. It looks like @johntucker 's 2.0 ROMs are the only ones that support this. Since you mentioned the 2.2b6 and 2.26NT ROMs are very similar, I checked to see if the 2.26NT ROM will start /AAPL,ROM and it will not, not...

I didn't use an nvramrc to boot Mac OS on 1.1.20.1, it mostly just worked with the BYE command. It requires a supported video card, it will only boot from the external SCSI (so you'll need an external CD-ROM and/or CD images) and I'm currently investigating issues with Ethernet, though I haven't...

I pulled my test 700 from storage over the weekend and rehabilitated it (bad CPU card, bad slides on the logic board drawer). With that running, I received the NT ROM from @dbinreno and today was able to dump it. I attempted a naive boot directly from my Windows NT 4 CD-ROM and while SETUPLDR...

I have Mega65 in an FPGA board. It's pretty cool, but I still ended up using the 128 more.

Hope so. I decided not to buy a basic beige - I'm treating this as a successor to the 64, and I think it should look accordingly. The Founders edition seemed most appropriate.

I posted this over at VCF, but I enjoyed the pencil kick stand. :)

Got an E-mail from New-Commodore saying that Founders Edition units ship in February. We'll see how they compare to the Starlight units.

Sounds like there might be a new patch coming, based on @wottle's post above yours?
