    Osborne anyone?

    I got an Osborne 1 awhile back that I just finished restoring. Here it is next to one of its Executive brethren right after I got it home. It mostly worked, though the B drive was hit-or-miss and it was just really filthy and yellowed. I also didn't want to run it too much before getting...

    Apple II SCSI hard drive questions

    So an official BlueSCSI 1.1 firmware was just released that includes @jokker 's changes to support this CMS card. I flashed it and was able to get my //e booting ProDOS off of a 32MB volume :) Then I set about trying to add termination power to the CMS card so the BlueSCSI wouldn't have to...

    RGBtoHDMI fun

    Yes, there's a TTL buffer board in the middle. I didn't assemble my own board(s) like you did. I bought pre-assembled boards from Aaron at Retro Hack Shack. So I got the 12bpp RGBtoHDMI board, the TTL buffer board, and the analog board in case I ever want to play with that.

    RGBtoHDMI fun

    After finding external video adapters in both my Classic and SE, I've been wanting to build an RGBtoHDMI. Well, I finally got my hands on a Pi Zero and all the other parts, printed a case, and assembled one. @Mu0n 's stickied thread was a big help. My 030 Classic came to me with this...

    Let's fix up these //c's!

    I installed the CP/M card and BMOW drive switcher and can now boot from an external floppy drive, including a FloppyEMU: I'm having trouble tracking down a compatible version of WordStar. I did use cpmtools to copy the binary of WordStar 3.3 I have for my Osborne Executive to a CP/AM...

    Let's fix up these //c's!

    Monitor is recapped, retrobrighted, and working great: I initially had an issue with the external brightness knob being unreponsive (could still adjust the internal sub-brightness), but that quickly got sorted out with some help from people on Discord. Turns out the brightness potentiometer...

    Applied Engineering TransWarp TW1340 - Information Wanted

    I don't know anything about it other than someone on reddit recently found an AE TransWarp TW2340 accelerator in their Classic. Apparently they also made a 25Mhz version for the Classic without SIMM slots. Also, a link to possible drivers and some discussion of the TW1340 and that connector on...

    IIci restoration chances

    That kind of corrosion and damage is common on that part of the board with all the leaky capacitors in that area. Mine was worse than that (I had to replace all 3 of those chips and another elsewhere on the board), and my IIci works great now. That was my first time finding broken traces and...

    Modern DIY arcade lightguns

    That's funny...maybe give her some nickels so they fall through and you can keep using the same ones :ROFLMAO: I have the coin mechs connected on mine too, so inserting quarters still works, but I didn't want to *have* to insert quarters. I also didn't want to clutter the control panel with...

    Modern DIY arcade lightguns

    That's awesome! I've thought about adding lightguns to my MAME cabinet before, but this might make me actually do it...

    Well the monitor is apart. I won't say that was easy...very "compact" inside that thing:

    Apple II SCSI hard drive questions

    I flashed that firmware, plugged in the CMS SCSI card, and stuck in the SD card I've been using to boot my IIgs with the GGLabs SCSI card...booted right into GS/OS: Interestingly, the drive didn't appear on the desktop until I clicked "About this Apple IIgs" from the Apple menu, and then the...

    Apple II SCSI hard drive questions

    @jokker should be able to provide a more specific answer, but as I understand it, the BlueSCSI firmware changes required for compatibility with the CMS card (and other A2 SCSI cards) exist and are working...they just haven't been merged into an official firmware release yet. I think it maybe...

    Let's fix up these //c's!

    Both machines have been re-capped, de-yuckified, de-yellowed, and are working perfectly: Now to turn my attention to this little guy... Before, the image was unstable. However, it appears that was due to corrosion on the //cs' composite jacks more than anything else. During the resto, I...

    PC Compatibility Card freezing during Win 95 install

    Have you tried the usual stuff, like reseating/replacing/removing the RAM SIMM on the card (if you have one installed)?
