    Can You Put a White Phosphor CRT into an IBM 5155 (Portable Personal PC)?

    So the IBM 5155 has an amber CRT for displaying NTSC but it works for non-NTSC in a SE or SE30 and the SE30's CRT can do NTSC using the 5155 CRT module (which is the circuit that controls the CRT and not the CRT itself). That means there's no real difference between a CRT for composite and...

    Need solution for HDI-45 to DB-15 connectors for video out

    Without a diode, the only multi resolution modes available are for VGA and Multiple Scan 13" or 14". The latter requires a line from sense 2 to sense 1 in place of a diode with ground on sense 0. If you have just a ground on sense 0, then it's 640x480 67Hz only.

    Need solution for HDI-45 to DB-15 connectors for video out

    The diagram at #31 says the spacing between rows is 3mm so 2mm plastic spacers should have fit. The fact that the plastic spacers don't fit means the spacing between rows is less than 2mm (which is obvious looking at your PCB). In that case, you could try pin headers of < 2mm, 5 pins...

    Need solution for HDI-45 to DB-15 connectors for video out

    A diode from pin 10 (SENSE2) to pin 7 (SENSE1) with ground on pin 4 (SENSE0) is for MultiScan 21" displays. VGA uses a wire instead of a diode between SENSE2 and SENSE1 with SENSE0 not connected. #41 #42 VGA and MultiSync 21" are probably the two best choices for an...

    Blue and White SCSI 2 Drive Issues

    You said it hangs with the cursor on a gray screen. I think that is beyond Open Firmware after a boot device has been chosen. None of the default items in no-boot is a PCI device. There's no dev aliases for the PCI slots except for screen which points to a graphics card or a child device of a...

    Blue and White SCSI 2 Drive Issues

    The process takes a while. If you enable some debugging options (such as by using the setenv AAPL,debug-bootpathsearch command) then it might show what it's scanning during the process. Newer version of Open Firmware may have different names for the debug options or more debug options. If you...

    Blue and White SCSI 2 Drive Issues

    B&W G3 can't boot USB or FireWire. You can invoke the text based boot picker using the multi-boot command. On later Macs, that command is graphical based, and multi-boot-menu is text based...

    Flashing the Silicon Image Sil3112 to work in Macs (2025 Edition)

    PCIe cards have only one notch which is near the back plate. They also have a tab nearer to the back plate to stop it from being inserted into a PCI slot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Component_Interconnect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

    Flashing the Silicon Image Sil3112 to work in Macs (2025 Edition)

    There might be a problem with different versions of Open Firmware. You would have to compare the ROMs to see what's different. The ROMs can be converted from fcode to Forth, modified, then tokenized back to fcode. The ROMs might have compressed parts which complicates the process. Maybe you can...

    Eric's Apple Network Server 700 tinker log

    That's the same Open Firmware version as the ANS 500 but should check the entire thing to be sure. To dump the ROM, you need a serial port connection from the modem port to a Mac or PC. Then you use Open Firmware on the ANS to dump the hex of the ROM. Go to the first post of this thread and...

    unknown part on 128k analog board?

    A normal inductor won't work? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor The schematics say L2 (connected to -12V) is 27µH L1 (connected to +12V) and L3 (connected to +5V) are 28 µH (toroid) These three are connected to the Power connector J7 Actually, I think that's the schematic for the main...

I have PowerPC Macs that can run System 7 to OS X 10.5. They can connect to Intel Macs that are running early versions of Mac OS X (either booted or in a...

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    The way I think an arbiter works is, it checks for REQ from a device and gives it GNT to allow the device to do work. When the device releases REQ, the arbiter releases GNT and checks the next device. I suppose the PCI Local Bus Specification will explain it - at least the PCI part. There's...
