@Zane Kaminski OK. I forced fed myself in 5 minutes on my lunch break so I could dedicate time to testing the "new" ROBUST firmware Summary: BAD NEWS My 1st boot attempt with my IBM DGHS 4.5GB SCSI drive (inside HD20SC enclosure) failed with a Sad Mac... Fine! Don't like to play with...

I think a large number of vintage Mac enthusiasts are always looking at what's new in the community and examining what they may not have heard of before. Many of these people approach a new thing with this fundamental question: "What can this thing do for me?" The first sentence on your...

Custom part not available from Mouser, Digikey, Console5, etc. Replacements must be extracted from gutted boards. Honestly, it would be nice if we could get a newly built replacement for those, since old parts won't last forever.

Date references are easy to forget and confuse, so I shall rename it: WarpSE.GW4410A.1.0robust_OLD.exe When and if I mention it in the future in this thread, I will call it "ROBUST OLD". That will make it 100% clear. I've not had opportunity to test your new ROBUST firmware yet. I will do so...

Personally, I would tell Apple about that because (scroll down to "Mac OS Supported")... https://support.apple.com/en-asia/112181 (Yes, I have actually reported inaccuracies on the Apple website to Apple via Feedback before, despite the fact I was attacked on FaceBook for having done so...

@Zane Kaminski I just flashed the firmware attached to your "Oops!!" post. I'm sorry to report it's bad news. (I have 4MB of RAM installed, by the way.) I had no issues booting prior to flashing this firmware. (I had been testing ROBUST without any booting issues before.) But my first...

If you're drooling over those pixelated vintage Mac themed wallpapers but not wanting to install macOS Sequoia, here's the place to download them: https://basicappleguy.com/haberdashery/macintoshwallpapers

I only noticed this thread today. I'm big on "layman's terms" and dummying down difficult concepts into a form digestible by mortal man. You know... FOR THE REST OF US. I Googled a bit to figure out even what Netatalk is, but that led me to a bunch of techno jargon that made my eyes glaze...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @eric ! I especially loved the part he wrote at the end... Some of which he talks about here... https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/SoftDorothy-UnfinishedTales-Vol1 and here... https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/SoftDorothy-UnfinishedTales-Vol2

My mention of SE ROMs in my earlier posts was done merely to say that if you have newer ROMs that support the 1.44MB drives (e.g., an SE FDHD), then you cannot boot into Macintosh System Software versions older than System 6 because the new ROMs require System 6.0.3 or higher. I have the older...

In light of the past reports by @techknight about GCR disk incompatibilities with the first WarpSE firmware (which seem to have been fixed in the "ROBUST" firmware I am tested with now), I decided to do further GCR compatibility testing today, just to be 100% sure. I connected my Macintosh 400K...

And just to clarify for others reading this. The Radius Accelerator 16 and 25 cards use a 68020 CPU and 68881 FPU. WarpSE uses a 25MHz 68000, but no FPU. Hence the impressive performance. @JTRetro what is the minimum System Software required for your Radius accelerator? As mentioned in my...

Have a look at what's possible with WarpSE (and the original SE ROMs)...

And much better than the Levco (SuperMac) SpeedCard I own, and better than the Radius Accelerator owned by @techknight too! At this point, I will tag @BFEXTU because he and I shared a lot of private messages in the summer of 2022 regarding the SpeedCard. He was a SuperMac engineer who had the...

I just finished watching the video to the end. I enjoyed seeing the commentary by Ray Arachelian, creator of LisaEM. He passed away in early 2023 at the age of 51. I also see you have an interview with Adam Rosen, who passed away in August 2019 at the age of 53. And perhaps one of the best...

Here are 48kHz 24-bit WAV files using WarpSE-ROBUST and the Stock SE, recorded with my SONY D100 at the Headphone Jack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IPqGUVvOYSr2pTbw-GWRyi3q4qyWp09N/view?usp=share_link The Mac SE was booted into System 7.1 with extensions enabled. I used the TwistedWave...

First and foremost, what I'm about to say has nothing to do with the audio glitching when WarpSE is active and running ROBUST firmware. That has clearly been established, and Zane has written extensive thoughts about how he intends to proceed. I will now provide more details about the...

Thanks for confirming my eyes weren't deceiving me when I viewed your earlier photo. It did look vertically stretched to me.

I'm only 15 minutes into watching it and I must say that I'm impressed by all the key players at Apple that agreed to be interviewed. Great stuff!

We don't get hurricanes here in Japan, but we do get Typhoons. I still recall vividly, 20 years or so ago, setting a date for a BBQ at my Australian friend's home here in Japan, and it just so happened on the scheduled day that a Typhoon hit. Were we going to let that stop us? Not on your...
