    LC 550 Takky Upgrade, questions.

    Going off of the simple logic that people steal the logic boards out of the LC 500 series and put them into their Color Classics, it stands to reason, that the Takky Upgrade for the color classics would also work for an LC 500! Unfortunately, I can't really find much information on anyone trying...

    BlueSCSI Issue With Performa

    If your problem is the same as the one I had once before, then use those blank images provided on the troubleshooting page, install your OS to the blank with an emulator like basilisk 2 or whatnit and use that.

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I'll flash the latest firmware and setup the conditions to hopefully re-create these issues. As soon as something goes sour, I'll post the log here. I see things in it, but I do not understand what they mean. In a hurry, I took 2 pictures of the log, to see if I could stare at them long enough...

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    Had more data corruption again. This rollercoaster is killing me. I rolled the frimware back to before Wifi was supported, the system seems to be running faster, successfully installed 4 programs and rebooted 2 times without any data corruption.

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I hate when you fix something and you don't know what you did. Drives me bonkers. So, the only thing I know of that made a difference with the BlueSCSI 2 wifi working finally, is I changed the network .hda file from NE4.hda to NE5.hda, no other changes. Upon rolling back the update and changing...

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I rolled the firmware back to v2023.10.12, which was the first to mention/support the Daynaport SCSI ethernet. The data corruptions seems to have stopped, but the ethernet portion doesn't seem to be working still. I turned debug mode on, recommendation of Mac84. I have a few things to try yet...

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    Update to this, it appears as if the Bluescsi 2 is corrupting data. I setup the Bluescsi 2 with only NE4. Hda and the .ini file telling it how to connect to my network. On the backside I have a bluescsi 1 externally, I did the OS and software installs to the bluescsi 1 without any issue. It...

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I have used the .hda with the driver bundle and a newer driver from Macintosh Garden, the .hda one says it's from 1993 and the later is from 1997, both do the same to the system. 7.1 had MacTCP, 7.5 and 8.1 had Open Transport.

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I'm not in, so I'll have look again. I'm digging through the troubleshooting tips now, though my issue seems unique. It's a generic "Can not complete installation" error. I forget the exact words, but it doesn't imply the hardware isn't present, or imply much other than it failed. I've tried...

    BlueSCSI in Quadra annihilating system folder, Daynaport

    I'm not sure where to post this, I'll start here and it can be shoved off elsewhere if needed. I have a Quadra 605 with an internal BLueSCSI v2. Every time I try to install the DaynaPORT software, it'll get 60% through the install then error out. The error says that the changed will be...

    Favorite commercially available coffee?

    I legitimately enjoy the taste of coffee when it has a slightly burnt flavor to it.

    MARCHintosh Projects?

    Are there rules for Marchintosh like there was the PowerPC Challenge? Either way, I have a BlueSCSI 2 with the Dynaport stuff, and I have no idea how it works or what to expect, I need to look up a guide. BUT, we're gonna do it, and it's gonna be great, I think. I enjoy setting systems up from...

    I was taken advantage of by an internet confidence trickster.

    Apparently dude has a history. Big shames. :[

    Any interest in NEW Repro Lombard / Pismo battery packs?

    I have 3 packs that have anywhere between 10-30min charge left, absolutely interested in this. Can you just put new cells in and the battery will work, or is there more to it than that?

    Still can't figure out Email. Stunnel doesn't work, other options don't seem to work. Trying to get old Email clients to log into modern Email is a pain, all to sync Email to a palm pilot. If I figure this out, I'm writing a guide.

    Mac mini with defective Firewire.

    I'll have to check to see what exactly the issue is, its been a minute, but I don't think Firewire devices were even receiving power. I think the System Report still saw Firewire hardware. I'm not against doing board work, if the controller is the issue. I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself...

    Mac mini with defective Firewire.

    I've had a G4 Mac mini with a bad firewire for a while. I want to try a few things, but I figured someone might know a bit about it ahead of me trying anything. I understand that this is not an uncommon problem with these, but I'm unsure what causes it. Anyone have any insight? I'm not beyond...

    Arbys dive into the dumpster.

    I go some stuff! Let's see it! First off is this crazy joystick. I didn't know that there was such a complex joystick made for the Mac, using the ADB port. The only joysticks I had seen on eBay or thrifting had been little 4-button sticks. This thing rocks! Best part about it, my OrangePC card...

    Arch Linux on a Black MacBook2,1

    I was given a 2.4Ghz 2008 Black MacBook several years ago. All it needed was a new battery. I got one of those black OWC batteries that was DOA, they were super cool and gave me a new one. Playing with it for a while, I'm amazed at what these things are still capable of, though I have 10.6...

    No. 😝

    Worked last time it was tested (1999), don't waste my time, sold as is, no returns accepted.
