Oooh lovely! I tried disassembling the SE FDHD and early 800k ROM with both IDA and got absolutely nowhere 😂

@cy384 how are you disassembling these ROM's - IDA Pro?

Sure! One sec - what post number are you wanting to break out?

I bought the exact same PSU as this to do to the spare IIci PSU you gave me the last time i was down your way - just haven't got round to it yet. Did you use standard PC Motherboard brass standoffs to affix the seasonic PCB to the case?

I love, love, LOVE the 2 door bricks. Always wanted one to do a T5R conversion on it but hard to find here!

Just to clarify - the SWIM chip is not a ROM or a PLD type device, it's a custom ASIC - not programmed in any way - it just works. Just needs to be soldered to the adapter PCB to be used. The ROM's of course would need to be burned and soldered to the adapters to get the FDHD ROM's working with...

@YMK any thoughts on the way the MacSD is behaving?

In a way i'm glad that the wierdness isn't solely occurring on the SE Reloaded board, but the stock SE board as well. I was worried there was something wrong with the board revision that i'd need to change. Have you tried with a DIP28 SWIM /SWIM adapter i sent you and the more modern FDHD ROM set?

I had a thought - the SCSI chip in your board, what brand is it? All original machines were the NCR 53C80, I'm wondering if there was errata specific to that chip that was not present with ones from Logic or AMD - nothing that would stop SCSI from actually working, as you've seen but something...

Electronically, yes, possible - would be interesting to see the internals of the non STFM model you have :)

A little bit of column A, a little of column B - the work is repotting things like monstera's and syngoniums. Thankfully there's a photo of the garden as it looked in 2019, that i found here (also handy if you want to ogle the property as it was in 2019, too!)...

Does macbench run the tests on the disk correctly? Does FWB hard disk toolkit work? I'm guessing that the SCSI DMA fakery that's going on with the SE might be at fault... Unless someone can test if it's just an issue with the working SE board and not just the Reloaded.

Do scsi devices behave correctly, as in using a bluescsi?

So, we're moving from a room in 2nd floor apartment, to a our own ground floor apartment with 2 bedrooms and a garden. Now, the Mrs wants to be able to have a garden space to herself and I have just the idea. In the garden is a concrete base suitable for a garden shed. This will not just be any...

Repost here by all means in the resources section, or in a thread that can be stickied :)

I have lusted after one of these for years now - still never seen one in real life - they're even more scarce than SGi machines here - very jelly!

Oh my science - the disk-o-matic is amazing! o_O

Always jealous of these VCF events that exist there - I don't know of anything like that here in the UK that's as wide ranging, it's usually a single user group like amiga/atari or the like, and small in scope, like the village hall.

As mentioned in our 1:1 chat, it doesn't sound abnormal - compare with the video of the initial headless startup of the board, here:
