That is excellent performance @Zane Kaminski. Looking at the MacWorld July 1991 article, that is taking the 68000 to impressive heights where only 030 and cached-up 020 boards went in the day.

Great news and count me in!

With the 2024 show being so great (nice seeing @Action Retro ), here's a shameless plug for the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal in Orange County, California February 15th & 16th, 2025. It's a great show, and you can pair it up with a trip to nearby Disneyland! https://www.vcfsocal.com/

Hey JDW - If you get one these would love to see an analysis using your EE knowledge. ;-)

Yes, there is a runtime for 68k, which runs on 7.1, but I've discovered version 2 is buggy and RealBasic is not optimized for older 68k Macs. I've decided to stick with Director, Hypercard, or Filemaker for developing low-code solutions for 68K Macs, with tool choice depending on the need for...

Thanks! Hopefully my SE/30's 50-SE30F Accelerator will help the slow battlestation.

I have some experience with Filemaker, Hypercard, and Director but wanted to try REALBasic to develop apps for late 80's 68k Macs. Does anyone know what version of RealBasic would work best on System 7.1 on an SE/30? @Action Retro I saw you use REALbasic on your Battlestation - any ideas?

Thanks for the update. Very cool! I assume this the best relevant post on 68kMLA? https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-30-design-for-drop-in-replacement-power-supply.47462/#post-534143

Just a quick note with results on the new Interware Clone "Booster 30-SE50F" 50Mhz 030 w 68882 FPU accelerator in my SE/30 purchased from zigzagjoe on 68kMLA. Installed in the PDS without issues, requires no software, and performed a bit over twice as fast than stock (based on Speedometer 3)...

Good answers above. Since I had both an internal and external BlueSCSI V2 here's what I did to move my SE/30 SCSI2SD volume to BlueV2. Requirements BlueSCSI V2 Internal BlueSCSI V2 External (Optional) PC or Mac with Basilisk II (Basilisk is optional, but makes the process much faster)...

Thanks JDW. Seems like the best direction for these accelerator projects is more open-sourced like BlueSCSI. Then multiple sources could build, improve, and promote. There are so many super-smart people (Zane included) in the community that could contribute and benefit.

This thread has been quiet. Is WarpSE still alive?

You may have already read this, but The Secret History Of Mac Gaming: Expanded Edition is fun, although it took me fovever to get through as I was downloading from Macintosh Garden and playing along the way! Update: I realize this is not "older" of course.

Alvvays is "music to retro-compute" and I think you'll see why : )

Agree. My 2017 VW Mk7 GTI has a great UI and does wired Apple Car Play well, Most important car functions are physical buttons, and the touch screen is responsive. Unfortunately VW's newest models have taken a turn for the worse by dropping physical buttons, which was the selling point of VWs...

Unfortunately, I've never owned any Atari HW (yet), apart from playing on my friend's old beater 2600 as a kid in the 80's and in the 90s owning the awesome but ahead-of-its-time networkable Lynx handheld. I'm under the weather with a flu, so I've been watching a lot of retro films to chill...

Hold onto your hairpieces Video is here >> Backstory: Back in the mid 90's my first job out of college involved what was then hyped as the "Multimedia" development revolution. I had the pleasure of meeting various people pivotal in using the Mac and the burgeoning QuickTime technology for...

Thanks to @jcm-1 for his assembled BlueSCSI complete with LED. Massive performance increase on my SE/30. The Speedometer 3 scores for the Internal and External BlueSCSI on are the left side of the screenshots compared with the SCSI2SD.

Here's an example: On my Mac SE with a 16Mhz 68000 SpeedCard it takes 8 seconds to search for a term across the entire Bible. So about 16 - 20 seconds on a non-accelerated SE or Plus

Thanks to @JDW and his excellent video on recapping the Mac SE & SE/30 power supply. My recap passed the smoke test and I was able to successfully adjust the voltage.
