Not at this point, no. But I'm actively working on DJ (I'm slowly getting close to a new release) so that could definitely be in the cards. Lacking an Amiga, my main issue would be testing. I'll still take a look at the Amiga disk format to see how exotic it is. You never know :) Edit: Looking...

10.11 is the earliest Mac OS version supported by Disk Jockey at this stage. Before that, the frameworks are sensibly different (mainly the interface and the data accessor stuff) and maintaining backwards compatibility becomes a huge impediment. I had to choose a cut-off point, and 10.11 seemed...

Thank you!

Hi! I have good news for you! Disk Jockey has been updated and now runs on Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan and up! Enjoy! https://bluescsi.onegeekarmy.eu/diskjockey/

As you're pointing out, SCSI2SD works in a completely different way and there's a need for a tool to simplify users' lives (I can attest, having a SCSI2SD myself). However, Disk Jockey is not meant to be that tool. Once I have a few more releases of DJ under my belt (there are some more things...

That's a cool trick but it's not necessary here. A disk image containing an actual SCSI device (like the ones Disk Jockey creates for BlueSCSI and RaSCSI) is useable by an emulator like Basilisk. Just change the extension to .img and off you go. Basilisk only presents the HFS partition and...

Thanks! No, at this stage, it only creates empty images. To be able to add and remove files would mean that DJ understands how to handle the HFS format, which it can't... ... yet :)

Thanks! The high OS requirement is due to my decision of using SwiftUI as the interface library. It's been a mixed blessing. It's very cool and fast for 80% of the work, and it allowed me to work quickly (I wanted to meet the MARCHintosh deadline). On the other hand, on macOS, it's very...

Thanks! I wrote the partitioner in Swift, following the spec in "Inside Macintosh: Devices". It's interesting to use Apple's latest language to recreate its old stuff :) Right now I'm going for the earliest Apple driver I could find (1.7.3), to guarantee the lowest common denominator. But in...

Version 3 Beta! I've been working at this new version of Disk Jockey for months and I wanted to share a beta with you all. It's shock full of new stuff and there are too many to list. But here are some highlights: Create disk images for not only Macintosh, but also Amiga, Apple II and Akai...

I see you found a way to get a case printed! That's great!

Hi there! No, the DB25 I'm selling does not have a case. Yet. This might however be the project that finally gives me a good reason to buy a 3D printer. So, not at this point but probably in the coming weeks.

Thank you both for your answers. It's unfortunate there's no miracle cure for this but, yeah, these machines are getting really old. Looks like cherry-picking parts will have to be the way forward from now on. But hey - that motherboard is purring like it's brand new again. That's a consolation :)

Hi everyone, I'm slowly bringing a PowerBook 100 back to life (it was in a miserable shape). After a recap, it's back in action but its screen needs some love. There are pink clusters of pixels on the display that suggest excessive pressure (from the trackball for example). They can also be...

I love the 3400c with the LocalTalk bridge for this purpose. No USB out of the box but it does the rest.
