It'd be handy to know a bit more about your Netatalk setup (maybe post relevant parts of the config files: atalkd.conf and AppleVolumes,default would be good). Did you re-compile…

Wow guys lots of great information here. This exactly what I hoped would happen. Development work has stalled as I expected because of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I …

Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this in his book Mac Classic & SE Repair and Upgrade Secrets. It was a very common upgrade at the time. Books can be found r…

It may be best to see if you can find somewhere to mount a standard computer fan and find one to suit. Click to expand... Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this i…

Jameco, mouser, digikey would probably have them

That's called a squirrel cage fan. It's more common in industrial and automotive applications, and, as you have surmised, is not a common or readily available computer part. It m…

get a metric ruler, go from there, its one of 3-5 sizes Click to expand... It is approx. 70mm tall with a power lead running nearly the length of the analog board. From your p…

presumably the later drives change speed depending on which track they're on, so one should be able to do the same thing with an emulated version and not bother counting pulses. …

I've got an SE with a really noisy fan I'd like to replace. Unfortunately, the SE uses an odd paddlewheel style fan instead of the fans you typically find in systems since that ti…

2k, starting tomorrow I will be working with some old school 64k ram and the arduino on a non related project, to see how easy/bad it is If the mac is generating the pwm on the ea…

The PWM signal is well documented in Inside Macintosh and Apple Macintosh Family Hardware Reference. A PAL reads the disk-speed buffer in RAM and generates a PWM. However, the 800K…

Thanks for the follow ups. FYI.... I am running 7.5.5 and the only resolution choice in "Monitors" settings is 512x384. Oh well. I was holding off on doing the 640x480 hack, fig…

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. What it receives is encoded RLL data which goes thru an amplifier straight to the write head. To read, the…

You most certainly can share a CD over LocalTalk - you just can't BOOT from it. I have installed OS 8 over LocalTalk, booted off a custom boot floppy with System 7.6, and a few oth…

Have you come across the Catweazel? Catweasel Disk Controller ISA Catweasel is a universal floppy disk controller that uses unmodified PC diskdrives. The Catweasel can read …

without having to vary the data rate. Click to expand... That's a good thing, right? In terms of building an emulated peripheral.

Will have to try it out.

Is iCab alot better? Click to expand... AFAIK, it deals with the modern Internet much better.

Is iCab alot better?

Nice job! As for me, I've gotten iCab on my own IIci; just finishing the additional work needed with an Asante card.

or a Ham license and packet radio hehe

Aye good work!
