Before discussing the details of waveform shapes, we need to assess if your scope probe is using a short or long ground lead, which is discussed in the following video:

I like the fact you enjoy that model iMac because it really doesn't get enough love. That metal Arm for the display was and still is so very awesome! Apple doesn't get enough credit for that design. And unlike monitor stands from Apple that cost a kidney to purchase, that metal iMac arm was a...

Replies came as I was going to bed last night, and I'm at work now. Will consider use of RocketShare software later, although it will be for testing purposes only because I have no practical use case for a Mac-inside-a-Mac. I only want to use the Rocket as an accelerator. And I say that with...

I too was a MacUser subscriber since the 1980's. Not quite from the Premier issue, but close! My subscription was rolled into Macworld during the merger which took place in 1997. I continue to get the digital version of Macworld today. Thank you for watching and for your kind words. If your...

That's why I hope some people who have the vintage Rocket and vintage SCSI Booster can chime in. My Rocket is vintage (ASIC model), but my Booster is Max's clone. I send OlePigeon a PM on the MLA because I know he has both. He said he would check.

I've never used RocketShare. I've only used RocketWare because RocketWare makes the Rocket act as an accelerator. RocketShare makes it act as a second Mac, or so I've read. When the Mac finishes the RAM checking, it loads RocketWare and then reboots. That is normal. So in light of that, I...

I have Rocketware 1.5.1 installed (you can see it loading in one of the photos in my previous post). But if there is a specific SCSI Booster set of software, I would like to learn more where it can be downloaded.

I purchased a SCSI Booster for my ASIC edition Radius Rocket (33MHz 030)... It includes a standard DB25 for external drives, which is nice. The DB25 connector doesn't stick out enough on my IIci, so I couldn't connect anything at first. But I solved that problem by purchasing a DB25...

Good call on the lowercase "g" there. :D Seriously though, after watching the video, was there anything in particular other than the space scenes that you were not aware of before you watched the video? I'm just curious because most people just tell me if the like or dislike (yes dislike) the...

ANSWER: the creator of Gravity, who also created the absence of it in space. :)

The amusing thing is, v1.2 from Macintosh Garden includes this compatibility chart which mentions the Portable... But I confirmed in System 6.0.8 that chart is wrong (at least for the M5126 Portable) because I get a garbled screen when Launching Dark Castle v1.2 without the hack. With Ryan...

Thanks to Ryan Schmidt's brilliant ResEdit hack given to me on FaceBook, I now have dark castle working on my Macintosh, portable, and this is perhaps the first version ever to work on that Mac! Here is what Ryan told me... Dark Castle contains code to decide whether to make a centered window...

@Mu0n Thank you for conforming Dark Castle will NOT work on Portables. :cry: But it's so terribly strange that it works flawlessly in Basilisk II on a 640x480 pixel display, emulating a IIci. One fellow on FaceBook told me today his real IIci runs Dark Castle just fine. Which raises the...

The original J-B Weld Steel-reinforced 24-cure, or a different epoxy?

So far, I've not been successful in running Dark Castle or Beyond Dark Castle on my M5126 Backlit Macintosh Portable. I've tried disk images on my FloppyEMU to no avail. I've tried (and failed)running it from my internal BlueSCSI, even versions of Dark Castle that otherwise work under System...

Continuing my investigation, I spoke with someone moments ago who said that he estimates 10% of 30 pin modules from back in the day are gold plated and possibly 50% of 72 pin modules are gold plated. He went on to say that very few sockets are gold plated, and yet over the last 40 years, we’ve...

Ah yes… I now remember having seen that at some point in the past, and the heavy metal guy in the pink shirt triggered my memory. Thank you for sharing that video, @David Cook !

Here's some bonus info that didn't make its way into my video: https://archive.org/details/MacWorld_9005_May_1990/page/304/mode/2up That article contains great photos of the Mac Portable being manufactured by Apple. The Portable seems to have been made in California at the Apple Fremont...

@YMK Oh, I did not know that. Very interesting. It makes you really think more deeply about gold contacts. But of course, many commercial connectors have long mated gold-plated pins to tin-plated sockets, and those devices have worked as expected for decades. I suspect there are many...

Yes because if you look closely at all the photos, you will see one is of that RAM installed into an SE/30 motherboard. I have purchased RAM from him before and it works great. Not sure why, but he seems one of the only RAM sellers who chooses to use gold plating, which I really like. The...
