    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    On the first few recordings of Winter Games, yes, I agree. But not with Tetris. I tested with headphones, my 5K iMac's speakers, and my 16" M1 MBP speakers, and while it's easiest to tell the difference with headphones, I can hear the difference even using computer speakers. With that said...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    My audio tests are done. In the video below, I compare the Stock SE audio with the Levco SpeedCard (terrible!) and WarpSE with NoWaitState and Robust firmware. Expand the text description on YouTube and you'll see it's fully indexed so you can jump to the individual timestamp sections with...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Because "NoFixedWait" firmware is already flashed to my WarpSE, I spent my lunch break testing audio. I really couldn't hear audible distortions through the speaker, so I wore headphones to check Spectrum Holobyte Tetris & Winter Games. Honestly, I really can't detect bad audio during the...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    I was using real PC. I believe it has an Intel processor running Windows 8 (Japanese language version), but I'll need to confirm that later since I'm starting my work day now. Okay. This evening after work, I will test audio on Spectrum Holobyte Tetris and my mainstay, Winter Games. But in...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    My first test, prior to flashing, confirms the audio crash, but only with certain sounds. Have a watch... And here's a video of my first flashing experience, using FAST SCSI firmware, which seems to have cured the sound problem, at the expense of a mouse so jumpy it's not really usable: I...

    Good TFT for a 512K case ?

    So it would seem almost all problems have been solved but the biggest one — reflections. The stock CRT is anti-reflective. I've seen photos of people who cut the front off a dead CRT and mount an LCD behind that, which is really neat, but that skill goes beyond what most people would likely be...

    ReStuff 2

    Not sure what "WebAssembly" is but all I did was click Eric's link , then I used Stuffit Deluxe 16 on my modern Mac (runs even on Sonoma!) to make a "Legacy" *.sit file of something (which makes Stuffit 5.x archives), then I dragged that SIT file onto the emulator, then I clicked the button. I...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Because it's late here in Japan right now, I will begin my testing tomorrow on my lunch break and after work. In the meantime, please let me know if everyone is using Speedometer 3.06 or 3.23. That way I can make sure to use the same exact version everyone else is. Since there was no comment...

    [VIDEO] New PSU for SE & SE/30, and 16AWG Harness Upgrade!

    I've spent the last two months working like mad on a comparison of the new (July 2024) Baby Face Electronics Power Supply, comparing it to my stock recapped SONY PSU and also to the SEASONIC PSU that I've been using since 2018. I also successfully tried the 16AWG wire recommendation by...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    Zane, I've been following the posts. Tracking info says the package you kindly shipped to me may arrive tomorrow. At this stage, there's no meaning for me to do any firmware update, correct? I should just proceed with testing the card as is, right? (Ignoring the sound issues, of course.)...

    Possible problem with Video Cable for Mac Plus - Need to Establish It's Working or It's Not

    You learn something new every day. Wow. Thank you, @butchie52651 ! I was not aware of a fuse hidden in the Macintosh 128K/512K wire harness! Based on your pics, it would seem to be hidden from view under the large ferrite bead, and the only way to spot it would be to cut off one of the wire...

    I Need Advice-Taking A Web Page Layout And Converting It To A Functioning Site

    I've been designing websites since the late 1990's. Cutting to the Chase: It's different now. Back in the day, you could do all manner of things that would work fine because everybody was browsing on a computer, not a mobile device. These days, unless you are designing a vintage web page...

    PINOUT DIAGRAM for SE/30 PDS Slot & Mac IIci Cache Slot

    I created this side-by-side pinout diagram back when I accidentally connected my Daystar Turbo040 accelerator (intended for a Cache Slot) into the PDS pass-thru slot of my TS Adapter, installed in my SE/30. That resulted in one of the ASICs getting fried on the Turbo040 (it was later repaired...

    OS 6, 7.5 date patch?

    To avoid the need for yet another Control Panel or Extension, my turn-to solution is the PRAM 5.0 app. It let's me set the 4-digit year of my choice. No extension or control panel required to maintain that date.

    Synchr030/S 256MB SDRAM Accelerator for the SE/30

    Folks, I've done extensive testing with this fabulous 256MB card, and have been pondering a video about it, but I've just been so busy with other video work (and my day job — man, I need to retire!) that I've not gotten around to it yet. And I do apologize for that because the blood sweat and...

    WarpSE: 25 MHz 68HC000-based accelerator for Mac SE

    The card shipped to me hasn't arrived yet, hence this question. Is the crash triggered when you try to produce "any sound"? Or does it occur only when you open the Sound control panel and play System Beeps, and nothing else? Or is it a specific game or all games that causes the crash? And...

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    While I understand what you may be going through now, I nevertheless feel that text display to be very slick in that they didn't just product the standard System Error. It seems to be a custom error message generated by the accelerator board. That's the first accelerator I've seen which does...

    I Need Some Advice-Suggestions For A Portable External SSD?

    I recently was looking for the best USB Thumbdrive sold today and after much research ended up buying the 1TB T31 from SK Hynix, who make extremely fast and low power SSD replacements for older Macs like the 2015 15" MacBook Pro. This is the best review out there on the T31. I opted for the T31...
