LocalTalk bridge I thought it was very hard to find. turns out it its pretty easy to find now. so if you have a computer with both serial and ethernet. you can use it as a bridge.

OHHHH thats what it is. when i was first messing around with linux many moons ago i was using rage driver just fine. but that was when these cards were kinda new. So i didn't get why people were having trouble now. .. didn't think about how a newer kernal might be incompatable with what is now...

I know for like '040 macs (like the quadra 700) you do NOT need a special card. just a cable that had the correct connectors on both sides. Some retromac famous youtuber talked about it recently. But I can't remember off the top of my head who... But maybe they will see this thread. or maybe you...

I just watched a youtube video about this about 9 mins in. he says a proposed fix from yet a different video was to tighten the screen up against the pcb as a real fix for this. NARRATOR: it wasn't So i guess we are back to the fix it for a little while bake method. ... wonder how hard...

so it might not work anyway. on the video he tried MANY adapters. and most didn't work. I think he said if he would to do it over again he would just stick with the stock drive. YMMV

action retro had the same problems with CF adapters as you do on an imac G3 I think you can still get IDE SSD hard drives. i wonder if they would work?

at the risk of being wrong on the internet. i think the parity is just ignored on macs. you can use simms that have the parity chip but it won't have the parity stuffs

same for my plus

I agree and like categories for that reason. However, when i go to the front page i often get exhausted looking at it and lose any and all energy to interact with the forum. I have a few ideas for knocking around for a few months now. and i just never got the energy to post about them because...

its all the fun of the hobby. We are all just messing around with it anyways. think of it as a fun experiment. I guess if you DID go the RaSCSI route you might still be waiting on a Raspberry PI ? I think you should still play around with the serial thing and see if you can get slip working...

I thought of that. but decided not to try to explain it as its getting in the weeds. besides i didn't THINK the SE could do it. as you indicated. my memory is fuzzy, but i remember it not being stable. but i might be conflating the problems with AFP over IP with early versions of mac os x. it...

I think @jcs has setup his Mac plus to do ppp with a raspberry pi. and is doing imap-y things that way. ... by "imap-y" i mean writing an IMAP client. which you can follow here

Thats the understanding I have. but you could setup ftp to do file transfers that way. (or HTTP ....) again, assuming you can get slip working. but i don't see why you couldn't. So if you WANTED to do AFP file sharing. i would setup phone net. I think they are still pretty easy / cheap to find.

oh so its NOT ethernet emulation. its encapsulating IP packets over a serial connection. Can't do appletalk over it, but thats still really cool way to get internet protocals to work on classic compact macs. (if it works)

Could be. I've ran self diagnostics and RAM tests But i am unable to reproduce this a second time.. i have a CFFA3000 in there that always boots and really wants to boot total replay. So while its at the CFFA3000 screen, I perform a control + reset to get to a dos prompt. (before it actually...

i paused my collection a few years ago because i ran out of room. When i moved into this bigger house 3 years ago, i still almost never pick anything up because the prices have just gone full rocketship. However, sometimes you get lucky. an early Mac128k with sad mac i got for ~$50 a year ago...

thats the same word. your just saying the same word twice with no difference in pronunciation. ;)

i ran it directly again. just typed in the command a 2nd time. and it got to pass 4 when i stopped it. maybe it was a dirty contact or something. or maybe i bumped the table.

i just started running the test on my //e plat. it stopped after 3 passes PASS: 03 TESTING ...8 * note i hand typed in that. but i think its right did that mean it failed on the 3rd pass ? i'm running it while i also do my day job. so if i leave it running for a long time its just...

both the wrong way and the correct way sound the same to me. i think everybody else is on secret missing to screw with me. claiming there is 2 ways when really its just one. ... Although i realize its prolly just my own hearing that doesn't allow me to tell the difference between the two ways.
