    Might’ve hit the jackpot what do you all think I should do with these?

    Definitely preserve it! If I was in the same country I’d offer to help.

    Just check the bitsavers archive. They already have a bunch of those docs you have scanned. No point wasting effort.

    Help With TL866 ii Plus on a MAC

    I get the firmware message too.. hasn't slowed me down yet. I've bought my adapters from Amazon.. you can get whole kits, or just individually - which is what I've done as-needed. If you try minipro from the CLI do you get any more details? Can you do a pin test on the ROM you have? eg...

    Help With TL866 ii Plus on a MAC

    Does the GUI install the latest minipro CLI version? I’ve never used the GUI so not sure how it’s packaged. Maybe reinstall minipro from homebrew for starters to ensure you have the latest.

    Help With TL866 ii Plus on a MAC

    Do you get the same error through the CLI? What's the error? I've used my Mac and TL866 for a few years now and haven't struck any issues programming EEPROMs, UV-EPROMs, GALs, and even the TechStep ROMs..

    Might’ve hit the jackpot what do you all think I should do with these?

    At least a few of these already exist in scanned form... I downloaded them some time back. Let me dig them out, and figure out where they came from.

    Without a Floppy EMU, how to get files to my Macintosh 512K?

    MFS was a flat file system, but it allowed "cosmetic folders" from memory... though I could be mistaken.

    Auto-Paluxette AutoEspresso

    Bah, the order is messed up.. it's late - I'll try re-sort them tomorrow... But regardless it's been an awesome journey. I also have two 993's...

    Auto-Paluxette AutoEspresso

    I'd prefer not to try and use the espresso machine whilst in motion! :) My '70 is a 911T. It was a bit of a mess when I got it 4-5 years back. The engine was rebuilt by a Porsche racer here. There was a lot of rust to attend to as a previous owner had left the poor car attached to a truck...

    Auto-Paluxette AutoEspresso

    Along with my vintage computer tinkering I also have a penchant for vintage cars.. specifically Porsche. This recent purchase goes with my recently restored 1970 911. Yes, it plugs directly into the cigarette lighter socket! I'm yet to try it out, but will definitely be taking it along to the...

    SE/30 Reloaded

    OK, cool - that sounds about right. If someone can confirm the serial port issue is fixed I'd happily place an order and split as needed.

    SE/30 Reloaded

    That sounds cheap. I looked at it via JLCPCB a few weeks back, and with the bottom side SMD's installed as part of he build it was more than twice that from memory. I paused at that, and the fact I couldn't determine if the port issue Craig discovered was actually fixed in the github - I know...

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

    Cart worked perfectly first time! I suck at soldering, so an even bigger achievement! As an old professor once told me - there's nothing more dangerous than a software engineer with a soldering iron... :)
