    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    I've only seen it work on a Mac SE. I believe there were issues getting the classic to work... The software can emulate a 68030 but it just stops after the boot beep on the grey screen...there may be some way to tell the emulator to start in 24-bit Addressing mode...but it isn't documented.

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    Unknown at this time...the SCSI chip runs warm and no devices are recognized except for the Macintosh on Device 7. If I put the 68000 back in SCSI works again...so it doesn't appear to kill the SCSI chip.

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    I'm not at home but the photo above is from Discord a while ago. I bought a power/video cable from eBay and extended the wires so I can work on the motherboard on the outside of the case (and the high voltage CRT). This is how the computer looks until I start the CPU emulator on the Raspberry...

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    Starting a thread to track my experiments on using the PiStorm on the Macintosh SE. Just today I tried a new configuration and got much better numbers on SpeedoMeter... I removed the original CPU and put in a socket so I can run both the original CPU and the PiStorm. It could be installed...

    MicroMac SE Prototypes Video Out Troubleshooting

    I have a DisplayServer SE setup to display a Portrait Monitor along with the built in Monitor for the Macintosh SE. As a first crack at decoding the video I checked the voltages with a Multi-Meter on the DB9: 1. Ground 2. Ground 3. 1.2K Ohm Resistance 4. 1.5K Ohm Resistance 5. 1.5K Ohm...

    Macintosh SE ROM Replacement PCBs...

    Thank you for the resistor values...the resistor pack in the attached photo is the item I need to ID...an actual part number would be helpful if someone has that as I'm an electronics newb but can cross-reference. I'm looking at the ROM board to create custom ROMs with ROM Disks for booting the...
