    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Yeah, tested and confirmed. I am seeing the same results as you are. Do you think there's a way to fix and re-flash the pico?

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I just powered the BlueSCSI with a micro USB to the Pi Pico and sure enough that solved the problem. So we've got a power up timing issue...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Ahh that makes sense. I was thinking earlier of powering the BlueSCSI externally. That won't work as a permanent fix of course since the battery would drain but I could try it here to see if it resolves the issue. Does it need both 5 and 12v?

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I am using the HD0-OpenRetroSCSI-6.0.8-500M.hda pre made image found here: https://mega.nz/folder/8hA3AQCJ#pWUq92L70yDXlogy9lk5Dg/folder/ltAn0Y7Q Maybe put that on and SD card along with the Mac Plus ini here: https://ini.bluescsi.com/ and see if that causes a delay on your system?

    Ok. Well it is socketed so I could try one of yours. Darn. Would love to get to the bottom of it.

    hmm. I used one of the pre made images from the BlueSCSI GitHub page. Could possibly be the Hybrid board?

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Interesting, so at least I know it's not an isolated issue to my machine only. But I am surprised no one else has mentioned this that I can find.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Ahh thats not the case here with the interrupt switch.. It either bombs or I get the white dialog box the the > sign... Assuming thats Microbug. its been over 30 years since I used that and I had the MacsBug extension I believe. So your custom SCSI emulator is behaving the same way as my...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    So you are seeing the same issue with a standard SCSI drive? If I put it to sleep, then hit a key to wake, then double click a folder to freeze, then hit the interrupt the machine locks up and i lose the mouse. Does the OS version matter ? I tried both on system 6.0.8 when i can get the debugger...

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    wow interesting so you are seeing the same issue. Is it the BlueSCSI? I just made a RAM disk and woke from sleep and tried to launch an app from the RAM disk and it behaved the same way with the delay.

    I have your hybrid board on the logic board. I hope THATs not it! 😂 • SuperSVGA hybrid • Androda BlueSCSI adapter • Androda Desktop BlueSCSI system 6.0.8 and system 7.5.3 tested. For now I am preventing sleep altogether with After Dark screen saver.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I just did a test with System 7.5.3 and when I go to the Control Strip and select “spin down hard drive” I see the BlueSCSI powers down. I then double clicked a folder and the BlueSCSI powers back up and I get the “watch” busy cursor but I have to wait 3 minutes for BlueSCSI activity.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    Interesting you see no pattern. Maybe I have an isolated issue then. Mines the latest v2 version. What does it do when you wake it up from sleep and cause disk activity by opening a folder, menu item, app etc? Mine is not crashing it just takes several minutes to wake up.

    BlueSCSI on Macintosh Portable

    I have the macintosh portable adapter and the desktop BlueSCSI working well on my portable but when I wake the computer from sleep the BlueSCSI takes several minutes to “spin up” and start working to the point it is faster just to hit reset and reboot the machine. is this a known issue and is...

    That silicone tubing worked but the inner diameter is a little too big so i had to put a dab of superglue in the shaft to hold them in place but it so far its working good.

    Cut the board out so there’s only the pins leftw then cover it in flux and solder and extract each pin like a dentist.

    Any IICX chip level repair experts? I've got a clock but RESET / ARST is stuck high

    Hello all who might be interested in this sort of thing, I finished going over this pretty bad board, I fixed all the broken traces I have found so far and re-capped the board. I finally got the power button to kick the power supply on so the power circuit is now working. I rigged a bench...
