    Using an Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 SCSI Card in Mac OS X with my Nikon LS-2000 Film Scanner

    I'm glad to hear you have made some progress. Besides the drivers you found, I cannot find anything better for Leopard. A lot of cards got support around Panther and Tiger, most (to my knowledge) didn't get the same support in Leopard, or they "just work" or "just don't". Hm, maybe it's...

    Problem with ImageWriter II (Power Supply dead?)

    You may have checked already, but has the fuse blown? In the thread you linked to someone mentioned some models have a fuse in one of the legs.

    Using an Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 SCSI Card in Mac OS X with my Nikon LS-2000 Film Scanner

    Interesting. Do you have any other SCSI devices to try? Did the driver you install specifically support Leopard? Do you have another adapter for the LS-2000 to try? I assume you've checked all the SCSI voodoo regarding termination, etc.

    128K Analog Board & Logic Board Capacitor List

    Excellent work! 🎉 I’m curious, is your Analog Board marked as “1983” or “1983-1984”. I have one of each so it would be interesting to note if there are any differences. Thanks again for your contributions!

    PowerBook 5300cs Color LCD Recapping Guide (for Torisan model displays)

    I have two PowerBook 5300 / 5300cs series machines and sadly they are both not in the best shape. While trying to fix them up I removed the LCD screen and took note of the capacitors to make this guide. The PowerBook 5300 series shpped with a few different LCD panels, but even similar models may...

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    I've been playing around with a few Power Mac G5 systems. I did a (very, very) long live stream on reminding myself which G5 systems I had. And with the help of Sean of Action Retro, Lauren and a few folks, I got Adélie Linux (64-bit) installed on my Dual 2.0 GHz G5. Sadly the Quad G5 didn't...

    My Cursed Quadra 840AV

    A few of you here may be familiar with my cursed Quadra 840AV desktop. If not, this is a machine I purchased for $5 back in the mid 2000's at the Trenton Computer Festival here in New Jersey. Their flea market was 90% PC stuff, but the few people who had Apple stuff had excellent prices. A lot...

    Battery rebuild service?

    Not a re-built one, but this a newly made battery for the Mac Portable that I purchased off eBay. They accepted my best offer of $50 (down from their $55 asking price), https://www.ebay.com/itm/312370924770 - good luck!

    A great (and perhaps little known) feature of SheepShaver

    Yes, if you go to the Preferences you can add a volume. It supports .HDA files from my BlueSCSI, which also worked with my RaSCSI. It's a very convenient way to write files to, or make, disk images.

    Finally, a nice Quadra 840AV

    I am beyond jealous... but congrats! Install a few fun NuBus cards and put it to work. 🤓

    Using an Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 SCSI Card in Mac OS X with my Nikon LS-2000 Film Scanner

    Hello everyone, I recently installed my Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 SCSI card in my PowerMac G4 (MDD Dual 867MHz) in order to use my Nikon LS-2000 slide/negative scanner. I spent quite some time figuring this out, so I figured I'd share this adventure to help anyone out in the future. I've been...

    How to convert DMG and other formats to ISO (for RASCSI)

    Try copying the disk image to the desktop (startup volume) of the emulated Mac HD. Sometimes things get messed up if the image file is on the "UNIX" shared folder and the program tries to mount it. If the Virtual CD/DVD utility fails, try using Adaptec Toast 4.x or later to mount it

    How to convert DMG and other formats to ISO (for RASCSI)

    You're welcome! It appears it made a disc image per track each track. So Track 1 (data) may have made the .iso file, and Track 2 (audio) may have been made into the .cdr file. If you double-click on them, does the image mount to reveal the contents?

    How to convert DMG and other formats to ISO (for RASCSI)

    Some discs are archived in Bin/Cue format to preserve multiple tracks, sessions, or audio CD sessions. Most older versions of Roxio's Toast can handle converting these. If you don't have Toast there are a few command line utilities that can help you out too. This article shows off Toast and...
