Ahh yes to clarify my portable has Androda’s BlueSCSI v2 with WiFi for desktop: https://androda.work/product/bluescsi-v2-desktop/ as well as the Macintosh portable adapter: https://androda.work/product/macintosh-portable-adapter-for-bluescsi-v2/ * I then jumpered power from the floppy drive to...

I think that’s just the “desktop” version of bluescsi board… The v2 with a Pico W can do WiFi so your portable can get online and wirelessly AppleShare to another WiFi Mac with AppleTalk and AppleShare enabled and so other network things. System 6.0.8 will be pretty limited compared to 7 just...

No I designed my own. I have one up on ebay right now. It has 10 2600mah (5200mah total) Eneloop Pro cells in it. I payed more for them than i am selling the pack for. asking $50.00 + shipping.. If interested I'll pull it off ebay and sell direct to you. I also just made two new packs that have...

Well I think so from what I’ve found online. I mean you have to connect the circuit board to it and spot weld the cells correctly but then I think it should work unless it needs to be reset or something to on the chip but I don’t think so. I found a page on one guy replacing them and it it...

Ahh I rebuilt the pram battery already.

Same here. I get about 20 mins or so. But I’ve read that if it dies completely then the machine won’t even run. Or has issue. I’ll have to test that to confirm if it’s true or not. I’ve been building PB 1xx, and Mac portable packs so I figured I’d give these a shot. here’s some photos of the...

I just opened it up to inspect and this melting damage is mind boggling. Not only the mysterious plastic melting on the hinge cover but the solid aluminum mounts under neither it are also melted! Melted metal! And the battery shows no signs of damage a tiny slight bit of corrosion but that’s it...

Hi all, I just dragged my G3 Kanga out from hibernation for the last 25 years and although the bottom of the shell enclosure is crumbling apart so bad I had to piece it all together with packing tape, the rest of it is in decent shape but it has the commonly occurring display issue with a...

ok cool I ordered the 4 dead OEM packs off the guy on ebay. they shipped today. he has 4 more though that i will get if there's more interested. id rather hold off on buying the batteries til i know how many people are in so i can place a single order. I will wait til my first set of batteries...

Yeah There would be a shipping cost but i wouldn't take anything off the top for that so whatever it is based on location. I'm figuring the batteries are going to be around $50,, the dead batteries will cost me about $10 or so... plus materials for printing and, packaging, etc. And then each...

Is anyone out there interested in buying some brand new reproduction battery packs for the Lombard / Pismo? Im going to take a shot at building and 3d printing some new ones. I purchased a small lot of dead batteries and will be pulling the connector and electronics out and then buying new...

Ohhhh right that makes sense. Back in2913 I was making rotary cell phones that had a cell modem inside and you could program it by sending it commands through sms messages and it would reply back. The “UI” For it was texting. I could use the same hardware I suppose. Rotary cell phone if you are...

Wow. I have a shelved portable board that I had fixed traces, swapped out the hybrid with SuperSVGA’s (though it wasn’t the issue and I killed a perfectly good OEM hybrid 😢), and re-capped and it too had the same type RAM error. I combed over the entire board and located all suspicious/ broken...

I thought it would be funny to teather my PowerBook 180 to my mobile WiFi hotspot and send a text to a friend while at the beach or Starbucks or something. I found this post where someone was sending an iMessage from a 68k Mac a couple years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30489003...

Ohhh it works perfect, I have a ton Of that tubing now if you want some ( Just watched your YouTube vid repairing a board).

Here’s a vid of the data bus being active (after several minutes hitting the break key and getting lucky it comes to live sort of…) With all roms installed the screen never changes like it should from the random characters to the main command line prompt to allow you to enter BASIC. With...

A friend gave me a Superboard II and I just started to troubleshoot it but could use some help from someone familiar with this board. Anyone out there? So far I’ve confirmed the following: • 6502 is good (tested on Asteroids arcade board) • 2114 RAM good • Character generator chip good...

Nice workaround for modern printers. Is there a way to get my ImageWriter to print over Wi-Fi with my BlueSCSI Wi-Fi enabled 68K macs?

Sometimes the WiFi doesn’t connect so it is helpful to use JCS’ WiFi D/A.

Anyone have or know where to find information on setting up a BlueSCSI on an Atari ST? Looking for an alternative to an UltraSATAN.
