To begin, thanks to one and all for the discussion to date. Before reading my comments below, please note I am not upset. If anything, I am now even more enthusiastic. We need this kind of discussion to stimulate the best ideas for the good of this forum. It's OKAY to disagree, so don't hold...

If shirts (long or short sleeved) are added, I would recommend Heavyweight. I really am not a fan of those super-thin shirts which can almost reveal your chest hair underneath (especially if the shirt is white). Heavyweight aren't too hot even in the summer months. Let's face it, when it's...

Separate issue? Not really that separate, no. Why? Because it relates to "keeping this forum going in the long term" just as much as term lengths do. Therefore, I felt it important and not too off topic to mention here. My mention is not intended to spark debate here, which would lead us off...

I don't mean to upset anyone, but I've long been concerned about Discord stealing the attention of the younger generation of participants away from the main forum. I don't like Discord. All posts there go into a black hole that's never indexed by Google. Now consider well that most people...

I will not comment on whether I think 3-year terms or good or bad. But I must emphasize that Kai properly points out the major issue — No Perpetual Kings. As one of the original founders, I can tell you that we designed terms to be 1-year because that seemed reasonable at the time, with the aim...

Eric, using Auto-Flash caused my BlueSCSIv1 to become non-functional. I will send you a PM with a video and other details.

@eric I have 4 questions for you below. QUESTION #1 The README says: "Debug Toggle - Used to turn on SCSI debugging. Only use if directed to." I've only tested the "BlueSCSI Debug Toggle" app within Basilisk II, which of course cannot detect a BlueSCSI. Even though the word "toggle" is in...

I guess Scotty has Shields Up on your drive! :D Again, I'm not sure what to say here, other than... It's now 2024 here in Japan so... A very Happy New Year!

Not sure what to say. Either the label doesn't match the controller PCB, or this new info turns what once was fact into fiction.

A little something to usher in the Christmas cheer. Merry Christmas, folks! ⛄🌟🎅🎄

@MICHAENTOSH and I have been discussing his 5126 Portable privately, and he mentioned the need in the past to boot from a floppy in order to get the Conner Hard Drive to boot, which baffled me. I can only assume that strangeness must pertain to the capacitors as well? I have zero experience...

Well, my friend, Michael, received the Battery Eliminator and got it to power his 5126 backlit model, although he shared the following photo with me to show it displays a Sad Mac error... 0000000E <-- Bus Error? RAM error? 0000FFFF <-- unknown He also says he needed to boot from a floppy in...

@Androda Thank you. I just now did what every single Portable owner on the planet should promptly do... I ordered a fully assembled Portable Battery Eliminator (shipped to a friend who owns the Portable). Fantastic product and engineering. Kudos for having brought it from Concept to Market!

If you are talking about making disk image backups of application programs (not your personal data), then I would recommend you first check if your disks contain software not already on the Macintosh Garden. I don't just mean the title, but also the version. If the same title and version...

@MrPickles2169 The keyboard is the only part of your IIci kit which seems yellowed in your opening post photo. Did that yellow in storage, unlike the computer and monitor? Or was the keyboard used by you during the years? If used, I would suggest opening it to check the solder joins for the...

@Androda Thank you for the explanation! I just noticed your BSv2 Adapter is out of stock (both Kit and Assembled). Do you know when it will be back in stock? Next... I read through your thread about the Hybrid Module for the non-Backlit Portable. That's yet another amazing product! Is...

@Androda I'm rather impressed with your new products, especially the Portable Battery Eliminator. Wow. Now all your store needs are replacement rubber feet for the Portable, as those crack apart or get torn away over time. Two questions: 1. Have any of your customers tried the Battery...

Thanks for your kindness, Jeff. I suspect he may not have any issues at the stock 50MHz speed. In my case, I have a stock 40MHz Daystar Turbo040 card for my IIci which I later overclocked to 44MHz via XTAL swap, and it was after that XTAL swap the 400K and 800K floppies became unreadable...

Thank you for the helpful feedback, Jeff! Sadly, even if I ignore HD20 mode on the FloppyEMU, the fact remains that 400K and 800K disks no longer work on the overclocked Turbo040, which is a problem that I am not sure I want to live with. But if such could be fixed by a hacked ROM SIMM, then...

I wish to thank David Cook for his excellent post over at the 68kMLA, as that served as my inspiration for overclocking the Daystar Turbo040 in my Mac IIci. Overclocking is done by a mere XTAL swap. (And the Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun makes the job easy, I must say.) Because David was able...
