ADS Technologies USBX-500 is what's in my G3 Minitower. Reliable 2-port card.

I cloned your trees to my G3 Minitower running 10.4.11 with TigerBrew installed and built and installed everything. DirectHW and pciutils seem to work OK producing this output - see lspci.txt. But flashrom has trouble - see flashrom.txt. Running under gdb, I see this backtrace - see gdb.txt...

Although UTM is convenient for running potted configs from the gallery, I find that for creating other configurations it adds another level of complexity. In particular for QEMU, it makes configuration switches more difficult to set. I've been experimenting with QEMU instances (guests) on a...

Attached are zipped binary source diffs for Linux built on Debian 8.

I can build and post a macppc Linux binary if dosdude1 posts the AM28F010 source diff.

And here's my verbose lspci for the device:

I meant flashrom -VVV -p satasii. My spew is attached.

Have you tried running flashrom with the verbose switch (-V, -VV or -VVV) to get more information? It's pretty specific.

Oh .. my mistake .. I hit the wrong device. It should read: 01:02.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 SATALink Controller Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV-...

indeed. Alas, I have no recollection of what device/class I saw when I originally flashed the card. It had BIOS firmware installed originally, but I guess it was advertising compatible IDs for flashrom to grok.

For reference, here's what my B&W G3 reports for a flashrom-programmable PCI SATA card under Tiger: And running Debian, I see: root@blue:~# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Motorola MPC106 [Grackle] (rev 40) 00:0d.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21154 (rev 02) 00:10.0 VGA...

I second eric's SATA PCI suggestion. I have a couple of G3s running with these. The Gossamer's restriction of only being able to boot off the first 8GB of any IDE drive is a real pain. Having SATA drives on a PCI RAID controller is way faster and not subject to this IDE boot restriction. And...

Yeah, this generation of machine can be picky with CD-R media. I've had better luck with DVD drives. However, one trick that may work with your reluctant CD drive is to burn your CD image onto a DVD-R disc. This has worked for me on a number of occasions.

Many thanks for salvaging a BlackBook. One gave me many years of faithful service .. yet I had the foolishness to send it to the recycler after I moved on to a supreme MacBook Air. A curiosity of this machine is that despite its 32-bit EFI, it has a 64-bit processor and, despite defaulting to...

The open-source flashrom project (https://www.flashrom.org/Flashrom) does indeed support satasil. I've used it many times to read and write cards under Debian 8 on several PCI Macs. In fact, I've used it to patch the SeriTek OSX driver to accept other eprom types. But I could never work out how...

No -- you can only do a small part of what a modern system can do. You can't access the modern web and certainly not watch 4K YouTube videos. Nor edit multi-channel audio and video. Nor interoperate with most other modern machine. Nor use machine learning. I could go on and on. And most of...

I too need termination enabled on a PISCSI when connected externally to my SE/30 with an internal BlueSCSI. Yet the same PISCSI can be happily connected externally to a Iici with or without termination. As they said back in the day -- scuzzy.

I tried a similar version of that adapter on my Beige G3 and it proved unrelable under load; the machine would hard-hang. Perhaps the issue is that the IDE bus on this class of machines is too slow for this controller. It may be fine in B&W and other faster G3s, but I've not tried.

I repaired the API1PC36 REV:A PSU on my MDD a couple of years ago. There's a number of useful threads on badcaps.net and the best for me was: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=86164&highlight=API1PC36 In my case, the culprit was one of the smaller electrolytics on the hot side. But...

I can report that my Rev G board, with my hack reverted, and with R28 changed, does indeed work with TP or with external MAU via AUI. In fact, I used a value of 270k because I didn't have a 220k at hand, but evidently the resulting longer delay is fine. Many thanks Glenn.
