Hi folks, I got an A2 Pi Pico card that doubles as a VGA card or a CP/M card. I understand this project is open, so there is more than one developer working on it. My problem is that my card won't handle double high-res as it should… A2Desktop looks awful. If I set the card to B&W, then it...

Thanx! You guys always amaze me!

Hi folks, Some time ago, I posted my small collection of Newton MessagePads (actually remnants from the 90s when I really used them) on this thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/messagepad-120.176/ I recently came across a lot of Newtons "for parts" and acquired it. I intend to try to...

Hi. I found a guy selling them here in Brazil. But he got me confused (he’s not an Apple guy) about the version I should buy: digital or analog? thanks.

That explan the odd results I was getting in PRODOS! indeed I got a stretched image, but both horizontally and vertically. I could only fill the screen with the upper left quadrant of the image.

So far I managed to get into double low res mode using DLOWRES. I tested your program and, as expected, it filled one page of the double-low-res mode: Now I have to figure out the structure of the double-low res file…

THIS ONE WORKED!!!! I will now dig into the theory and try to understand it! Thanks a lot! The file created by Bucksot is indeed 960 bytes long. Now the only one that I have to figure out is the Double Lo-Res! The binary is exactly the double: 1920 bytes.

I made this experiment to try to understand the line order in the Buckshot file. It seems the line order is 0, 1, 6, 7, 12, 13, 18, 19, … 2, 3, 8, 9, … 4, 5, 10, 11...

I think the problem is the Buckshot output. I converted that heart image to a low-res image file. I then used the load at HGR and then transfering it to GR approach. Using an assambly routine I got this: Using your BASIC program I got this: I think your program has some wrong value...

Hi folks. Programs to encode modern images into Apple II-savvy formats are not new. Digarok released a nifty utility to do so: Buckshot. I recently came to know about it in a YouTube video by @Javmast3r . The application lets you convert images into 4 modes: Low Resolution Double Low...

Correct me if I’m wrong: I can get a Mac LC or a Mac classic to listen to the 9600 serial port during start up using a terminal program? How would I configure the terminal? What would be the correct baud rate?

I just tested both videocards on my Power Macintosh 7200. The one originally on the 9600 is really dead; The Radeon 7000 works fine. If it works on the 7200, it should also work on the 9600, shouldn't it? I'll toss the original videocard out of the equation and keep trying with the Radeon 7000.

Update: I got a consisting "bong situation": RAM slots 1 and 7 populated The original video card in slot 1 -- ATI ©1996 -- I dunno the exact model If I try to put my other video card (ATi Radeon 7000 ©2002) alone on slot 1 the Mac won't bong. I tried the 7000 along the original (slot 1), in...

I did. I’m using a coin battery adapter from Silicon Insider. I moved it all around 😝 I think it ended up in slot 2 Command ctrl power I’ve found it. I’ll try all your suggestions tomorrow as I left it at work

What is this "quick reset via keyboard"? A specific key combo?

I did everything you said and its now bonging but no Video yet! But thats a start

Hi fellow tinkerers. I got a packed Power Macintosh 9600/350 with maxed-out RAM, Sonnet accelerator, and many other PCI cards. The only problem is that it won't start!!! It powers up, the power button lights up, the LED in the processor's daughter card blinks, and I hear HD noises but it...

I was trying to flash the firmware using the suggested Pyton tool. You con only flash the microcontroller by connecting it to a modern computer. btw, mine, as yours, came back to life out of the blue!

@Bolkonskij I tried Flashing it as instructed above but my moddem doesnt show up as a USB device on my modern mac. Nice to know that you managed to put it back to work. I'll keep trying. When it worked some time ago I managed to use PPP… If mine comes back to life I'll tell you exectly how I...

Hi. I'm having EXACTLY the same problem under 7.1.2 on an LC II. I've tried my Classic II and it's the same. It once worked on my Classic which is out of service right now. Any luck Bolkonskij?
