    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    Thank you! Finally a response! Started a parallel thread on MLA to get a discussion going. Got a suggestion to use SCI-Hub to source paper, but for anything more recent than 2022 it suggests https://scinet.usda.gov/ Got links for Claude...

    https://www.webasha.com/blog/ai-in-reverse-engineering-how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-cybersecurity-malware-analysis-and-software-auditing Wondering if we can use AI to deduce and clone the operations of IWM? ITXPlus that @max1zzz is working on could really use a clone of that chip!

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    Wondering if anyone has seen AI used to crack protected programmable logic? Target chip is the PLDC20G10 on my current obsession, the Radius FPD for Mac Plus. https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Cypress PDFs/PLDC20G10B, PLDC20G10.pdf 24pin DIP IC provides up to 22 inputs and 10 outputs...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Yep, the board in the Video is an original, factory installed card, the cards in the pics I've posted not so sure. But the 1O and 12 red herring numbers on the CPUs don't appear to mean anything? Sourcing a board to reverse engineer will be the next hardest part of the project. - GAL16V8 -...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Found a fabulous video posted in a seven year old thread searching my old posts at the MLA: As I somewhat expected, the original FPD Card/Monitor interfaced via TTL signal format! No analog bits to excise! His system appears to have been an original Radius in house upgrade with Plus' 68000...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Was just wishing that the original card had the BNC output of my Radius TPD/SE and if this might be adapted to it. Now I'm wondering if we can lop off everything analog output related? Keeping output digitally interfaced to a scaler setup should be a lot less complicated than analog...

    That's kinda why I started the 68000 required or not discussion: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/micromac-performer-and-others-for-68000-compacts-do-they-require-the-disabled-cpu-to-boot.4329/ Might need to make that provision for keeping a 68000 on the system bus via accelerator socket as...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Very nice! How are the blocks of memory set up in those eight chips so as to look like four 1MB SIMMs on the map? Will the Performer Clone fit or will another Redux form factor project for your board be required? Should be easy, nice that there are no pesky SIMMs in the way. ;) I keep asking...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Curiosity is getting the best of me here. This is the second time I've seen a 68000 used on a card of this era as an embedded processor. This one uses it @10MHz for generating graphics. WAG would be that system clock can be phase lock looped in the GALs to provide 10MHz? I seethe 51.270MHz...

    MicroMac Performer and others for 68000 Compacts - Do they require the disabled CPU to boot?

    Figured I'd just ask as it's been over seven years since this pic kicked off the clone game in the MLA Hacks Thread: So is the stock 68000 CPU necessary under the Killy Klip in my Drexel Plus or could the Performer (or other, more complex accelerator) be plonked onto a socket installed in its...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Does anyone have this VidCard available for a photo session? It's Radius' first product and one of the very few Radius cards I've yet to collect. Got TPD card for SE in hand and the BT9014 on it appears to be the only problematic Programmable Logic on the board? NuBus Mafia appears to be down...

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Wondering if the Woz has been contacted about releasing his IWM code? He might just do it for a 40th Anniversary Special Edition? Pincount of ITX PSU Connector confirmed, but very curious about which video bodge connects to the HD15?

    Love it! Can you add tags to the parts on the B&W drawing? Mostly interested in the ITX(?) Power Connector and anything related to Video Output.

    PowerBook 100/RPi-CM4-Lite

    Been looking into this a bit further: Feed power to the OEM pot card GPIO measures resistance of current induced by potentiometer GIVEN: mid-range resistance = NEUTRAL IF: resistance level drops to X THEN: blip 1 IF: resistance level rises to Y THEN: blip 2 Might be time to learn MicroPython...

    PowerBook 100/RPi-CM4-Lite

    A little bit of headway made. Opened up the lid for removal of the 2300c LCD and access the brighness/volume board: Trimmed the connector off the PicoPSU for hardwiring it to CM4 I/O Board and LCD controller. 12V input with 12V output should add little in the way of waste heat I would think...
