We used ResEdit to change the dialog boxes in NetTrek to make Mr. Spock curse...we had an AppleTalk Network of Macintosh SEs back in the late 80's.

English Install guide for Version 3 found online.

I was able to use RamDisk+ to create a startup disk...I was able to copy a file to the disk which does not work on real floppies. In addition it keeps the system in RAM so you can insert a new disk on a single drive system.

External 800k drive. This label is the only marking. It came with a Mac SE purchased on eBay.

In theory a graphic card emulation could be written...there is video output on the Amiga and experimental video out on the AtariST. I'm the only person I know who is working on getting the PiStorm working on the Macintosh right now...my programming and electronic skills are limited...I am an...

Greetings, I've gotten the PiStorm to boot on my Mac SE with a softROM file of the Mac SE FDHD base ROM. Floppy and SCSI are not fully functional and since I can make the ROM bigger than stock I am attempting to implement the "ROMINATOR I" driver in the Mac SE ROM to allow me to add a ROM Disk...

I put the RAM back in before I took out the ROMs...without physical or soft ROMs it just would stay at a black screen. It will boot without physical ROMs. I wonder if you could could connect the SIMM slots directly to the PDS slot so the BBU would have access to the PiStorm memory...hmmm...

As a follow up I removed the ROMs... The Mac booted normally using soft ROM from the PiStorm with the real ROMs physically removed. This means testing modified ROMs in software and getting the real ROMs off the address/data buses to eliminate false positive results...

I removed the physical RAM from the Macintosh SE and used the write through cache ram from the PiStorm for the first 4MB. The system appeared to load from disk and I was able to insert a virtual floppy after the external floppy stopped. The static and sound come from the BBU reading the RAM...

Compact PiStorm with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W...might fit in Mac SE case without modification...not confirmed.

The PiStorm as I have it configured now replaces the CPU and mirrors the RAM and ROM and puts it on the Data and Address Buses through the CPU socket. The BBU talks directly to ROM and RAM so it may be causing issues/bottlenecks.

I've only seen it work on a Mac SE. I believe there were issues getting the classic to work... The software can emulate a 68030 but it just stops after the boot beep on the grey screen...there may be some way to tell the emulator to start in 24-bit Addressing mode...but it isn't documented.

Unknown at this time...the SCSI chip runs warm and no devices are recognized except for the Macintosh on Device 7. If I put the 68000 back in SCSI works again...so it doesn't appear to kill the SCSI chip.

This video was when the PiStorm didn't start normally...it starts up reliably now without having to reboot several times.

I'm not at home but the photo above is from Discord a while ago. I bought a power/video cable from eBay and extended the wires so I can work on the motherboard on the outside of the case (and the high voltage CRT). This is how the computer looks until I start the CPU emulator on the Raspberry...

Starting a thread to track my experiments on using the PiStorm on the Macintosh SE. Just today I tried a new configuration and got much better numbers on SpeedoMeter... I removed the original CPU and put in a socket so I can run both the original CPU and the PiStorm. It could be installed...

Greetings, Attached is a disassembly of the Macintosh SE FDHD ROM from within vMac by the FDisasm application using the configuration files for the Macintosh SE. I made GitHub repository for updating the listing and commenting on the ROM. https://github.com/Frimples/MacSE_FDHD_ROM The source...
