First, I should mention something for everyone reading this. It's just FYI... Some people don't like to be pinged or tagged, but I am different. I want to be tagged. :) Otherwise, I won't notice something important at all, or not in a timely manner. Being tagged is a huge help to my aging...

I spent my lunch break on it today, and I made this video for you:

@nottomhanks Thank you for tagging me. I might have missed this thread if you handn't. (y) If anyone else wishes to tag me to alert me to something, please go ahead. I appreciate things like that. Earlier in this thread, a question was put forth about how to adjust CONTRAST on the 5126. I...

Big news! The amazing dual 8 MB ROM SIMM from Garrett’s Workshop LLC is now on sale as described in their post on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/AmWWqMELVnFomYSR/? Congratulations, Garrett and Zane! I’m really quite excited about this because it’s been long in coming. I’ve...

Because of the System 7.5 requirement, I assume you are no longer able to boot into System 7.1 even when you switch over to the 68040 CPU?

@nottomhanks I am able to boot my PowerMac 9600 into System 7.5.5 even though it has a Buffalo 400MHz G4 (7400) CPU card installed in place of the stock 300MHz 603e CPU card from Apple. So unless your PPC card requires 7.6.x and higher, you should be able to boot into 7.5.5, disable 32-bit...

I myself don't have one of those PPC cards, but I'm curious if they have an 040 mode. What I do know is the IIe Card requires 24-bit addressing. Normally, you would be using 32-bit addressing to access all of your RAM. That limitation also means that you cannot use System 7.6 or newer as...

Holy cow! That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Although Radius was a well-respected Macintosh products developer back in the day, it certainly looks like a case of "what NOT to do" when it comes to accelerator board design. Look at the size of that cap... Holy Cow!

I've not had time lately to fiddle, but I believe I tried that before and found hidden files were still being copied. What I can say is my experience on Apple Silicon is totally different than when using an Intel Mac. Basically, I cannot create a usable SD card on Apple Silicon. I am forced...

A “fix” for what, specifically?

@OneGeekArmy I for one am thankful for that "bright-eyed teenager" inside you. Every release is incredible. Just when you think Disk Jockey can't get any better, it does! Bravo!

I'm overjoyed at the changes, @eric. I confirmed just now that they all work great under macOS Monterey 12.7.5 on my 5K INTEL iMac from 2015. I downloaded all 3 Mac apps. Each boot my *.dsk images, and they boot my BlueSCSI drive images too, which is really the big appeal of your Mini vMac...

Could you please provide a link to that exact version? I'm eager to give that a test. I am using a late 2015 5K Intel iMac running Monterey right now.

It's been about two months, and I never received a reply to my previous post about the Sonoma requirement. Surely there MUST be a way to make it "Monterey or higher" compatible? I only have one Mac that can run Sonoma, and I use it less frequently than all my other Macs. While it is true...

But it didn't leak, right? I've not seen the Rayovac batteries spill their guts all over the place like the Maxell's so often do in SEs or SE/30s.

Well, because you have a Fluke, I doubt Auto-Range had anything to do with it. Perhaps @Androda might have some good speculation, but I myself really have no idea why the mere presence of that meter (measuring only voltage, no less) would trigger one Sad Mac after another. Very odd indeed. As...

@Paolo B So it would seem you have your meter set properly to measure Volts (not Amps), and the fact you could read 5V indicates you have the RED probe inserted into the proper jack in your meter to measure Volts (not Amps). So I am rather bewildered by why your meter, measuring only volts...

@JdM74 , I will read and respond to PMs tomorrow because it's but a long and tiring day. But before I go to bed, I just want to say... SE Schematics (Apple and Bomarc) are downloadable here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-se-schematics-repair The section showing J16 (RAM size...

You are talking about J16, which looks like this on my matte black board: I never had a problem with it because I didn't use a jumper on it, and that's because I use 4MB of RAM, which doesn't require any jumper. I never tested lower RAM configurations because those configs didn't make any...
