Posted by: oldmacuser on 2023-05-24 08:12:54 Very nice! Even though I didn’t understand the most of technical discussions on this thread. Still nice to see the progress!
Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-05-24 08:26:25 Hook yourself up with a nice SCSI2SD, and you are golden!
Posted by: s_pupp on 2023-05-24 08:27:05 Well done! I’m impressed by your perseverance, and am glad it paid off!
Posted by: joshc on 2023-06-20 08:38:25 Ive managed to find my salvaged parts pot and yay there was another asic in there. Which ASIC specifically was at fault in the end? Serial?
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-06-20 12:13:53 @joshc Well originally adb.. I swapped them both around which just moved the fault.. which is how I found it.
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-07-05 11:42:59 Yay upgraded memory to 20MB.. niiiice. Thanks @LaPorta. ☺
Posted by: 8bitbubsy on 2023-07-06 05:51:48 Awesome! Well done.
Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-07-06 05:53:53 Great to see that memory put to some good use...instead of rotting in my drawer!
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-09-30 09:21:13 Tried the serial ports the other day and... lock up.. so off with its scc and check vias. As i have a broken connection to the special serial proc.

Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-09-30 11:02:16 What were you trying to do with the port?
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-09-30 13:22:33 What were you trying to do with the port? Yried my wacom serial tablet on it.. changed the serial switch to compatible too.. it just locks up. Wont do a loopback test either in snooper😢 will fix am sure.
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-10-05 10:57:24 Fixed serial ports... all I'm gonna say is Bomarc 😃 pin 44, 3, 43, 4 and ahhhhh it still doesnt like my 2 bluescsis.. keeps failing random sector tests in snooper and randomly locking up whilst copying files but getting there slowly.. it seems more reliable with a real hard disk... she says as it bad chimes and asks to restart lol.. oops
Posted by: SophieRose on 2023-10-05 11:46:00 Oh and I socketified the scc chip.
Posted by: LaPorta on 2023-10-05 12:04:10 Does the blue scsi work Similarly to the SCSI2SD?
