    Eric's ANS 700 tinker log

    The Github site says that build is for AIX 4.3, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work. Making an ANS DOOM has been on my to-do list for awhile and maybe I should dust that off (it would also work with my ThinkPad 860 and my "800" if I ever get it booting from SCSI again). I should note that...

    Eric's ANS 700 tinker log

    The ROM is indeed already mapped. The ANS 500 ROM can be trivially dumped with h# ffc00000 h# 00400000 and then obviously processing the output. I did this at 19200 but I don't see why 57600 wouldn't work. quake.sw.wimp (part of the tar) should not require Ultimedia. However, it probably won't...

    Eric's ANS 700 tinker log

    The disc should have a ISO 9660 partition, so if you can't see that with it mounted (any system can read that part), then it may be a bad image. You might find the LV expansion process easier with smit. Are you actually running an AIX DOOM build on it? Quake should have a non-Ultimedia build...

    Apple III garbage on screen at startup

    I'm going to have to dig my A3 out of storage and have a look at it.

    Fun with TAM's. (upgrading Twentieth anniversary Macs with IDE SSD adapters, Sonnet CPU upgrades, BlueSCSI, and lots of love

    I thought the issue on the subwoofer was more that the contacts to the umbilical cable were sometimes bad. I have a TAM PSU with the buzz that I need to do work on, though I also have one that has very clean sound.

    Open Box iBook G3 900

    "Lightly used" indeed!

    Apple III garbage on screen at startup

    The video ROM might help, since you don't have anything recognizeable as characters in those pictures (the A3 should come up in text mode). Mine had properly formed characters; the screen was just garbage.

    Apple III garbage on screen at startup

    I don't have much insight here for you but my Apple III did something similar and I put it in storage to ponder how to fix it. I don't remember the caps looking as bad as that but I'll check them again next time I'm in that unit.

    Having issues with Disk Copy 4.2 (running in classic) on mac os x 10.4 tiger

    All iMac G4 systems should be able to boot OS 9, either officially or (for those units that Apple didn't support) using the unofficial booters at https://www.macos9lives.com/downloads .

    [eMac/1.25] OS 9 no longer boots after installing OS X on separate partition

    What does it say in Open Firmware when you try? You didn't whack the OS 9 drivers in the process, I hope? The Tiger installer may have installed a different driver.

    Power supply interchangeability between different 68K Macintosh models?

    Great list. Pretty sure the Power Mac 7600 PSU is interchangeable with the 72/73/7500 also, though I'd have to dig mine out of storage to check.

    Software-only OVERCLOCK for LC475, LC575, Quadra 605

    Well, I'll just say for one: it's not that I'm uninterested, it's that I don't know how my Mystic Colour Classic would react.

    A (mostly) successful IIsi restoration

    The IIsi was the first Mac I owned personally, so I have a soft spot for them. Glad to see this one lives.

    The Symbolics MacIvory Lisp machine I have hated (with an 8*24*GC)

    I finally got around to refurbishing my troublesome IIci with a MacIvory III, the last and most powerful of the NuBus Lisp coprocessor boards running Genera, and a direct descendant of the MIT Lisp machines. This machine all told has cost me over $6000, first the $4500 purchase price - which...

    IBM PC Server 330 won’t boot

    I'd start with forum.vcfed.org or you could ask on the cctalk list. There are many PS/2 specialists in both places.

    Erics Finds

    I'm sure it will be epic once you get the LCD back in the right position ;) How much RAM does it say is installed? That said, it seems like the hard disk is shot or erased. While you can run NetBSD on it, it really ought to run the original AIX. Plus, you can do tricks like...

    queen-bee.honeycomb.net? Looks like it may have been at this company in the past: https://www.honeycomb.net/ At least you have the key! My EVT "ESB" prototype ANS had to be forcibly opened.

    TwiSlot PCI Riser and ComSlot2 NIC repro in widened CS riser form factor

    The ANS is Open Firmware, but a slightly later version (1.1.22 on my production ANS 500 and 700). I dumped the ROM over the serial port when I was experimenting with Power Mac NetWare (Shiner was the target system, and one ghost of it remains in its Forth words).

    ReStuff 2

    Note that you'll need WebAssembly for this because it's actually running on a Mac emulator. Any chance of getting it to run on a _real_ Mac?
