    SMC ROM SIMM Prototype

    >I usually program ROMs in Windows, so it was not a problem to switch to Windows in Step-4. thats a good point. i've only programed one rom once. but the programer i have only has windows drivers. So really, the splitting files in step 4 wouldn't be the biggest hurdle of doing this in the mac...

    SMC ROM SIMM Prototype

    @JDW i have _NEVER_ used this command. but i think we can do it with the split command do a `man split` on your mac to get the full details. I'm guessing this supports this set of computers ? SE/30, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx, and IIsi.

So you need to make sure you have fast ram for it also. My computer is unstable. I'm not sure if its the brainstorm or...

    Beige G3 Desktop Restoration

    This might come from a place of privilege. but i really like having multiple computers of the same model. That way i can swap parts between to figure out what exactly is broken. .. or in the case of a battery bomb know what parts were rusted away.

    Solution for sharing a keyboard & mouse between USB & ADB?

    So ADP uses s-video cables. So you could use a "s-video switcher". which might be easier to find. i haven't actually tried this myself. this is just what i found online. That the cables are basically the same. (that is, they both use the same cable standard.)

    Solution for sharing a keyboard & mouse between USB & ADB?

    the software supports hot swapping but hardware does not. People have and i'm sure still do hotswap their ADB devices. there is just a chance. you could cause a short and fry something. But yeah. you can plug in keyboards / mouse / joysticks. and they work. as long as you were lucky enough to...

    Anyone help me with LocalTalk 3 pin Cable pinouts?

    Ok i remembered that i have the 3-pin din cables for these local talk devices. using a multimeter i tested continuity. it seems that they are straight through. The middle pin doesn't seem to be connected. so just uses the pins on either side.
