    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    So are you saying that adding 0 to my-self before opening the device should be enough?

    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    A reminder that ANS Open Firmware seems to take the input device and output device literally. If they are set to the serial port, video is never initialized. If they really want this, the solution is just not to run the NVRAM fixer. This is in Startup Items - it's a regular application, so it...

    Buyee Japan and eBay US (export) Warning

    When I used Rinkya, and granted this was a few years ago, they were indeed the importer of record because they were the purchaser of record. Stuff arrived and went to them, and tariffs/duties on anything over the de minimis exemption had to be paid to them (I had to do this once or twice). They...

    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    Unfortunately, not quite that simple. The problem with the 1.1.20.1 ROM is that it does not support the internal SCSI nor the internal video for MacOS (they work in AIX), and it does not properly enable the onboard MACE Ethernet. Also, Mac OS will treat it as a generic PowerSurge system and...

    Buyee Japan and eBay US (export) Warning

    Doesn't it transfer through the US, though? I thought their warehouse was States-side.

    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    Status update on the 1.1.20.1 extension pack. Besides the already working ndrv for the video (the SCSI controller will be extracted the same way), I now have a working hack of Boot Variables that fixes the console between reboots. This goes in Startup Items and undoes whatever is messing with...

    Buyee Japan and eBay US (export) Warning

    I just don't import anything anymore unless they explicitly ship direct and say they cover the tariffs.

    First official C64 in 36 years

    How do you mean? I'm just going to buy the 64C Ultimate - I'm not recasing the 64U I already have.

    First official C64 in 36 years

    I went and pre-ordered one of the C's anyway. I'd be more likely to use it than a breadbox, and the Founder's Edition 64U I bought was more for display and lulz in any case. If the 128DCR goes bang and I can't fix it, then I've got a potential partial substitute.

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Very good. This was a real problem in TenFourFox that I really needed to revise the font code for and never got to. I'll be interested to look at your solution.

    9150 refurbishment complete!

    Now to see how much hacking of the MkLinux Mach kernel is possible to enable a Sonnet card or more RAM, but this machine is working, as long as you don't look inside it. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2026/08/mklinux-and-pimped-out-apple-workgroup.html

    8 ohm for 16 ohm speaker in Workgroup Server 9150

    I'd thought about that, but the audio wasn't great to begin with and I'm worried that would make it worse. Still, as you say, if I'm out of ideas it's probably the least bad one.

    8 ohm for 16 ohm speaker in Workgroup Server 9150

    I expect this is the same for the Quadra 900/950 and AWS 95, since they all use the same speaker assembly as far as I can tell. My 9150's onboard speaker has crapped out (this machine just finds new ways to break every day). I've confirmed it's the speaker by getting another 16 ohm and plugging...

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Could be a bug, but unfortunately I didn't do much with HITheme on 10.3. It looks like it isn't properly recognizing the brushed metal theme. However, great work.

    I'm impressed. How are you getting around the CoreText requirement?

    Thanks! I am always worried my one Portable PSU might blow.
