The Garden seems to have the software I need, even for System 6, so some downloading seems to be in order...

Sorry 32MB of RAM. :) I have Rocketshare software disks that came with the card. I put the Rocket in my IICi that is running System 6. It seems the software I have must be for System 7 since it put a few extensions in the System folder just sitting around and there are no control panels etc...

I see posts elsewhere that the Rocket will only work in a IIfx with less than 32GB of RAM, and only in 24 bit mode. Also, it seems that System 7.1 is the limit for the Rocket. I guess I'll haul out the IIci since I don't want to pull RAM from the IIfx.

If I had a Radius Rocket to test out before I decide to sell it, what would be the best combo of OS and machine? I have a IIfx, a Q700, and a IIci that I could use as a testbed.

Or, maybe turn of flow control... DTR/DCD?

...and the G3 card! :)

Enjoy! I know it's found a good home!

I see a Bell & Howell Apple ][ hiding in there. Would be very interested if any of this ever comes up for sale. Lots of neat stuff there - what else might we see in the collection?

With SCSI, there's where the terminator should go, and sometimes where it needs to go to make everything work. They are often not the same...

Isn't this like 80% of what a plotter does anyway?

That would be sweet, but I can't find a reference anywhere, and don't want to just start buying random tips until I find something that works. I guess I could try to find the manufacturer of the one I have and see if they have any leads.

I have this exact same tool, and it does help a lot. Not so much on logic boards, where the leads are very small, but on analog boards and power supplies which have healthy amounts of solder, it works great. An ATX(?) power supply extender cable can work for the SE to keep the logic board out...

The eBay seller is in_future_tech https://www.ebay.com/usr/in_future_tech/ I messaged them first and told them what I wanted - and forwarded them the original picture from Reddit - and they quoted me a price, and told me how long it would take. Once I agreed, they made a "custom sign" item...

After seeing this on Reddit, I ordered one from a seller on eBay. I thought it was a decent price, and good communication and quick shipping from the seller. They do other custom neon as well.

I think there will be a healthy Minnesota contingent there. Might be time to organize VCF North - I've been thinking about it for a while...

The Apple /// was Jobsian in that it had no fan(s). So - the metal (aluminum?) case was supposed to be a heatsink for the whole machine. That didn't work out so well; thermal issues would cause components to expand/contract and cause connectivity issues, hence the "pick it up and drop it" fix...

That would be very cool, but I think the regular "stand-up" arcade version would have to do :) I don't think the Mrs. would go for the sit-down version!

In 2019(?) a guy was walking around with a floppy-based Mavica. He'd take a picture of you and your display, and then pop out the disk and give it to you. Pretty cool!

Thanks! I do have the Vectrex version - What I'd really like is the full stand-up arcade machine from back in the day :)

Amen, brother. I tried to source one or more for ages for my Sun Voyager, and then got lucky in finding an ACARD adapter for IDE laptop drives that saved my bacon. At some point, Apple silently used these in Powerbooks as the supply of SCSI laptop drives dried up. I now always check old...
