    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    Not too much to update for functionality... Someone got a Macintosh Classic to boot with the PiStorm but still with limited functionality of Floppy only.. Most of the updates are on the PiStorm Discord Server under the #macintosh channel. https://discord.gg/WjpMVymsMK

    Trying BlueSCSI on a PB170 (have working PB180 for troubleshooting)

    I got a SD2SCSI external to work on my PB170...but I had to power it externally...it wouldn't work unless I plugged in external USB power...the same device doesn't need power on my IIci.

    You on Mastodon?

    Mastodon feels like Facebook before it got totally commercialized...you see posts from people you follow rather than from advertisers and commercially oriented searches like Google has become. https://fosstodon.org/@AlexCL#

    Brainstorm Clone?

    The Brainstorm is clipped over the existing 68000 so it could be a contact issue.

    MacOS 9.2 running on a Nintendo Wii with native cpu

    I'm not even a C++ newb...I tried a source from 2008 and it didn't work along with the newest source...I couldn't update the distro due to lack of space...I figured out how to point to the current repositories so I could upgrade and download individual packages and their dependencies. Mini vMac...

    MacOS 9.2 running on a Nintendo Wii with native cpu

    To take up the challenge I attempted to get Mac on Linux working on my RGH (Jailbroken) XBox 360...I couldn't get the kernel drivers to compile due to the patched kernel for the XBox 360. I then tried SheepShaver as it can use the native CPU...but it wouldn't compile on the old distro that runs...

    Problem with IIci and NuBus cards (Solved!)

    I have the same issue on my IIci...recapped it (hack job) and it still works fine but the NuBus Network Card is still not seen by TattleTech or Snooper 2.0...I've tried 2 different cards in it.

    ResEdit

    We used ResEdit to change the dialog boxes in NetTrek to make Mr. Spock curse...we had an AppleTalk Network of Macintosh SEs back in the late 80's.

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    I was able to use RamDisk+ to create a startup disk...I was able to copy a file to the disk which does not work on real floppies. In addition it keeps the system in RAM so you can insert a new disk on a single drive system.

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    In theory a graphic card emulation could be written...there is video output on the Amiga and experimental video out on the AtariST. I'm the only person I know who is working on getting the PiStorm working on the Macintosh right now...my programming and electronic skills are limited...I am an...

    Help Needed for ROMINATOR ROM MOD for Macintosh SE for PiStorm Booting

    Greetings, I've gotten the PiStorm to boot on my Mac SE with a softROM file of the Mac SE FDHD base ROM. Floppy and SCSI are not fully functional and since I can make the ROM bigger than stock I am attempting to implement the "ROMINATOR I" driver in the Mac SE ROM to allow me to add a ROM Disk...

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    I put the RAM back in before I took out the ROMs...without physical or soft ROMs it just would stay at a black screen. It will boot without physical ROMs. I wonder if you could could connect the SIMM slots directly to the PDS slot so the BBU would have access to the PiStorm memory...hmmm...

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    As a follow up I removed the ROMs... The Mac booted normally using soft ROM from the PiStorm with the real ROMs physically removed. This means testing modified ROMs in software and getting the real ROMs off the address/data buses to eliminate false positive results...

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    I removed the physical RAM from the Macintosh SE and used the write through cache ram from the PiStorm for the first 4MB. The system appeared to load from disk and I was able to insert a virtual floppy after the external floppy stopped. The static and sound come from the BBU reading the RAM...

    Compact PiStorm with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W...might fit in Mac SE case without modification...not confirmed.

    PiStorm on the Macintosh SE

    The PiStorm as I have it configured now replaces the CPU and mirrors the RAM and ROM and puts it on the Data and Address Buses through the CPU socket. The BBU talks directly to ROM and RAM so it may be causing issues/bottlenecks.
