Thanks for that. I've attached the result of parsing that dump with my parseOFlspci command (included in the "lspci for Open Firmware.zip") which uses lspci. I welcome dumps from any Power Mac or ANS that has different results. Does AIX have pciutils with lspci? I suppose someone could port...

MPW's DumpPEF is a command line utility and therefore scriptable which is useful if you are researching multiple PEFs. It produces text output that can by processed by scripts or compared.

My MacROMan fork has all the New World ROMs (except maybe the ones created to boot System 7 or 8 on New World Macs). I have a script decompressrom.sh that has a command dumponerom that uses the tbxi dump command to take apart the ROMs. https://github.com/elliotnunn/tbxi It then uses MPW's...

Anyone with a serial connection to Open Firmware able to get PCI info using #50 ? See the attached. Another method to paste scripts into Open Firmware quickly (avoids requiring slowing down terminal text pacing and also avoids Open Firmware echoing of the input text) is to use the...

There appears to be some voids on the underside of the subframe assembly (shown in this image on the left side) that could be filled in with putty to add reinforcement?

There's a Mac OS X driver for the apple53C8xx "IONameMatch"=("apple53C8xx","Apple53C875Card","ATTO,ExpressPCIProLVD","ATTO,ExpressPCIProUL2D","ATTO,ExpressPCIProUL3D"), "CFBundleIdentifier"="com.apple.driver.AppleSym8xx", "IOClass"="Sym8xxSCSIController", "IOProviderClass"="IOPCIDevice" For...

There was a video posted at #23 But I think this one shows it better: The subframe that holds the hinge also holds the motherboard.

The GitHub points to a wiki and a Discord. We can answer all questions in the Discord. DingusPPC is a work in progress so lots of stuff doesn't work (networking) and there may be issues with audio or other emulation in certain areas. For example, SCSI works in classic Mac OS but might not work...

I think #6 explains that we have a good copy of that bad rom. The ROM has version 2.26b6 and should have md5 = d1d3720c38143eb2bac86b8393318529 As for what I'm doing: I'm working on ANS emulation in DingusPPC. Maybe one day it will boot AIX or macOS. I am working on the emulation of...

Your first post says JB Weld Epoxy does not bound well to polycarbonate (poor chemical bond). But what about using JB Weld Putty for mechanical bonding? Maybe it can be used instead of metal plates/wires. You can drill into it to add screws or pins or other fasteners. If you melt wires into...

The app in my example was locked! After unlocking it, -d does work to remove (or hide) the FinderInfo. So both of these will remove the FinderInfo (or set it to zeros which hides it from the xattr -l command): sudo xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo "ZTerm 0.9" sudo xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo...

The xattr command can't delete FinderInfo because in Mac OS X, on an HFS or HFS+ or APFS partition, FinderInfo is not an extended attribute or it contains info that cannot be removed - it can only be changed (using SetFile or xattr or other command). dumpxattr () { local thefile="$1" printf...

The file in my example has a resource fork without the type/creator that is in the FinderInfo. I think a correct implementation would not attempt to do any parsing of the resource fork. Metadata is ALWAYS externally stored regardless of whether a resource fork exists or not. It appears that...

It would be preferable to be able to have tension go all the way from the top of the rib to the other side so that new cracks can't happen anywhere in-between. I like the part at which shows how the hinge slides into place which perfectly illustrates your point that the ribs are part of the...

FinderInfo and ResourceFork are two separate file system objects so they can have different data. xattr -lpx com.apple.FinderInfo "/Volumes/Classic/System Folder/Mac OS ROM" | sed -ne '1,/^0*10 /p' com.apple.FinderInfo: 00000000 74 62 78 69 63 68 72 70 31 00 00 C8 01 73 00 00...

Do 0.8 mm drill bits like bending forces or are they brittle in the non-vertical direction? How wide are the ribs? How long are the ribs? We see the top of the rib. What's on the bottom of the rib (if you were to drill all the way through). What does the hinge look like when fully opened and...

That means there's more pins for U1 under U2?

Buy some programmable ROMs and a flasher? Get a ROM reader to verify the ROMs? It's probably one of these with 3 or 5 checksums: 0178 004afe97.005446ca.004b77c2.0054d986 2a8a4c7f2a38e0ab0771f59a9a0f1ee4 "1988-09 - 97221136 - Mac II FDHD & IIx & IIcx.ROM" ; Macintosh SE30 0178...

There are newer Flasher utilities that support later PowerPC Macs besides PDM and TNT but that doesn't matter for this ANS project. read 'XCOF' (128) ":Objects:xcoffResources:CopyToFlashPDM.xcoff"; read 'XCOF' (129) ":Objects:xcoffResources:CopyToFlashTNT.xcoff"; read 'XCOF' (130)...

Another note: "Flasher (TNT 0.6)" doesn't try to detect the ROM type before flashing. It says AMD for both AMD and Intel chips. "Flasher (TNT 0.6)" has direct drawing to the screen to show a progress bar - vertically oriented. 480 lines tall, 80 bytes wide. It fills up for each stage of the...
