    QuickSANE

    Sound production is very timing dependant. So simply speeding up the execution of that production, without taking into account that it's being done faster results in the distortion.

    QuickSANE

    @JDW, I didn't try it on any of the emulators.. only real 100% original hardware. I tested my instructions for creating a real floppy and it worked. Hopefully your FloppyEmu does also. There doesn't seem to be anything fancy with their copy protection.

    BluesSCSI hda files corruption

    I need to follow this... I bought a BlueSCSI a while back and could never get it to work with any SD card. I got lazy and bought another from elsewhere and it's been perfect... really should try sort out the busted one... I'm guessing it has no firmware installed as all it ever did was blink the...

    QuickSANE

    The copy I have was in an envelope with details of the local Australian reseller, and I think even a catalogue of sorts inside. I'll dig it out to photograph for posterity as it seems it was quite short-lived for a piece of software. However I really hope people use it now. I've no interest...

    QuickSANE

    Yup. Generic software (stock ROM, QuickSANE, etc) typically wouldn't know how to talk to it... How could it?

    QuickSANE

    You need software to patch the dispatcher - ie cdev, init etc. QuckSANE was for stock systems utilising the inbuilt coprocessor. Makes sense that NewLife had their own.

    QuickSANE

    Very keen to know if that works @JDW. Would likely require the cdev knowing about the 68881 on the card vs the native 68882 on the SE/30 etc. Patching the trap dispatcher was always fun. It made for a very extensible system. Of course huge potential for breaking lots of stuff if apps assumed...

    @retr01 its literally called Speedometer @bakkus 6 or 7. Not both at the same time.. 😂

    QuickSANE

    I came across this original software in a box of gear I obtained for other reasons. It purports to speed up numeric operations on machines with a 68882 floating point coprocessor by redirecting SANE (Standard Apple Numeric Environment) operations to the coprocessor. I installed it on my SE/30...

    So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision

    A little while back I picked up a copy of the book that Apple published to celebrate their tenth anniversary. I bought it pretty much sight-unseen from an overseas online seller, with only a photo of the dust jacket. The seller wasn't asking much for it, and even with international shipping from...

    MacVision II

    Cool, thanks. I have lots on the original but struggled to find anything on the other. Didn't know it was colour! I've got one of these arriving in the mail, so guess I'd better find something to use it with, including software which I don't have. I have an original one with it's basic software...

    MacVision II

    I'm looking for any information you amazing bunch might have on the MacVision II digitiser. I know of the original MacVision - little beige box with two large dials on the front and the awkward power supply plugging into the DB9/DIN8 serial adaptor. However I'm finding very little by way of...

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I decided to give the sun a go at a SE/30 case that I'm replacing with a MacEffects clear case. It has a couple of places that will make good reference points. There was a sticker placed on the top of case early in its life, and also someone wrote "Mac.3" with a marker pen, also early on. Both...

    Apple TechStep Replacement ROMs, cartridges, software, and more!

    It’s insane. I paid $300 for mine which came with almost everything. That was only 6 months or so ago. And I considered that expensive. They simply aren’t worth 10x that…

    Help With TL866 ii Plus on a MAC

    Did you previously use the programmer with a Windows box and the official software? Might need to go back to that to reflash it. I've never run into the problem you have unfortunately.
