Seeking Daystar Turbo 601 software
Posted by: moving2 on 2024-01-27 19:04:27 I believe there is a system enabler and a control panel. The latest I've seen referenced are the following: - Turbo 601 System Enabler v1.1.1 - Turbo 601 Control Control Panel v1.2.1 I've checked Macintosh Garden and a few other sites, but can only find the PowerPro software, not the Turbo 601 software. Any pointers or if someone that has the SW can drop a link, would be appreciated!

Posted by: moving2 on 2024-01-27 19:14:51 Appreciate the info! After some checking, however, it appears the links to the drivers on this page point to the now-defunct Daystar FTP server: https://web.archive.org/web/19961102041906/http://daystar.com/FTP/FTP.601.Prdct.html

I'll update the links on my accelerator page to the page you found
Posted by: MrFahrenheit on 2024-01-28 12:28:23 Strangely, not all of the downloads on the DayStar site were archived on Macintosh Garden. So I decided to download them all, and upload them to Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/daystar-digital-drivers-control-panels-and-related-software
Posted by: schmosef on 2024-01-31 17:06:30 Welp, I accidentally bid on this listing on Yahoo Japan Auctions. I was so excited to see the great condition of the box, manuals and disks, I didn't notice at fist that the actual accelerator card wasn't included. If I end up winning the auction, I'll be sure to upload any unique software to Macintosh Garden and might even scan the manuals.
Posted by: trag on 2024-02-02 13:00:25 Did anyone ever archive the Brinhoven site? May be wildly misremembering that name. There was a "The Unofficial Turbo 601 Page" and it was hosted there. Went down some time ago, but I hope someone archived the collected wisdom.
Posted by: schmosef on 2025-05-07 04:34:03 I recently picked up a Daystar Turbo 601 100MHz. I'm using it in a IIci. The links on Macintosh Garden and the DayStar site are for "Disk Release 3" of the DayStar installer. I've seen mention online there is a "Disk Release 4" with an updated control panel and system enabler. Does anyone have an image (or physical disk they can image) of the Disk Release 4 installer?
