Here's how I de-rusted the Metal Bar on my water damaged SE motherboard (kindly sent to me by @Kai Robinson ). Note my use of Steel Wool part way through the de-rusting process. If you continue watching that part of my video and see the part after my de-rusting was finished, you will see I...

Check this out... What you're looking at is my Mac SE with WarpSE enabled, booted from my BlueSCSI v1 (7.3.5 driver) into System 1.1 & Finder 1.1g. That's pretty exciting. But here's the kicker. It's a 20MB "MFS" drive image. :cool: No HFS here! It's incredible that WarpSE can be enabled...

Thank you, Eric. So as not to further mucky up this thread, I will send those two pieces of info to you by PM.

In the context of this WarpSE thread, I was merely saying that 7.3.5 is the best BluseSCSIv1 driver for the Mac SE, especially when when booting very old operating systems like System 6 and below. It’s critically important to bear in mind that I’ve said that WarpSE can be fully enabled in your...

No. On my BlueSCSI v1, I am using the Eric Helgeson recommended Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 driver. I spotted that being talked about on FaceBook today. My opinion is that it doesn't really compete because an 030 is a very different beast than a 68000. It probably requires some kind of extension...

I retested with the SCSI Director Pro 4.0 disk test using firmware 0.7d-fastscc flashed to WarpSE and using the newest v1.1-20231116 firmware flashed to my BlueSCSI v1. However, this time I disabled WarpSE via INTERRUPT switch and then booted into System 7.1 and tested. No problems... I...

@Zane Kaminski So as to update my SE Reloaded BOM, I was searching today for your recommended 74FCT & 74AHCT parts. I cannot find 74AHCT in a DIP package, so that poses a problem for use on an SE motherboard. I was, however, able to find part number IDT74FCT257TP on DigiKey (not on Mouser)...

@ppuskari Can you run the SCSI Director Pro 4.0 disk test with firmware 0.7d-fastscc flashed to WarpSE? The reason I ask is because I am getting the error shown below after all the Seek tests finish, just as the Graph tests are beginning. And boosting the Preferred size for the app in the Get...

@eric I made time to test. Boots just fine after updating firmware The only one issue though, and is why I flashed the newest firmware in the first place, is that ISO images don't work. I thought they were supported on BlueSCSI v1. I have a known good ISO tested in Basilisk II on my SD...

Here's how it went, Eric: Seems to have been successful, although I've not tested it yet. It flashed much faster than I expected. So fast, in fact, I thought something must have gone wrong! 😅

Because my internal 800K drive in this SE is all rusted up and impossible to use, I have no ribbon cable attached. But I connected an external 800K drive and tried to share, but only my hard disk volumes appear. So it would seem that early Mac System Software did not support the LocalTalk...

I've not flashed my v1.1-20220404 (USB compatible) BSv1 in ages. It has firmware VER: 1.1-20221203-USB flashed to it. I've been reading through the Github "Releases" page and also Googling all over the place, but there seems to be no detailed instructions about precisely HOW to use QMK...

@Zane Kaminski Tested with SE Reloaded motherboard fitted inside the SE's metal chassis. SOMEWHAT BAD NEWS 0.7d-slowscc: Worse that my test last night. With this firmware, I cannot see either machine within the "Select a file server" side of the Chooser. (I rebooted with WarpSE disabled...

I know, but you know me. I love it when things are plainly stated on a grammar school level. That's really what my entire YouTube channel is about. Saying things in a more detailed yet plain way so even a true nincompoop like me can understand it! :) Being the cheapest man alive, I did...

Here's a screenshot from that Github page... So just to clarify... Even though it says "BlueSCSI-Pico2-58226df.uf2" firmware can be tested "on any version of BlueSCSI hardware," the performance improvements for Write Speed only occur when you have a Pico 2 board installed, correct? In...

I decided to try a Farallon PhoneNET networking test with my WarpSE Mac SE and my SE/30. Names show up in the Chooser, but I can only connect only when WarpSE is disabled, as shown in the video below. NOTE: I only tested 0.7b because I didn't have time to flash 0.7c yet. (At 5:21 I said say...

Certainly. Here's the Mac-O-Meter voltage test while booted from my internal BlueSCSI v1 and with a Mouse and Keyboard attached. And you can see it draws 33.7W of power (with WarpSE installed): Note that my SE Reloaded Motherboard is still installed, and so is WarpSE running firmware 0.7b...

So when you power off, press Interrupt, power on, then release Interrupt, it boots using the stock 8MHz processor and all is well with LocalTalk networking, including login?

Kai, you are an incredibly kind and generous person. If you were my next door neighbor, I'd give you a call saying, "I'll be right over!" But I suspect there would be some post office gripes about the battery. The upside is that, despite the lack of Boot Camp Drivers, I was able to flash...

Because I really need a way to flash at home, I spent my entire today today working on this problem. I tried using a Windows app named "brigadier" in hopes of downloading newer versions of the Boot Camp drivers, but there seems to be only one for the 2015 15" MBP 11,5, And because it's...
