Why do you think the PDS card does not work? It is made for A/UX only and while it will boot in OS 7.01 (wont work but the machine will boot), newer mac OS versions tend to hang/cr…
Hi all,
picked up a Mac on eBay I've never seen in the flesh before: a Quadra 950, lovely condition and should come up well with a strip down and blast with my air compressor. Co…
lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs wrong the first time around

Did they? The architecture was designed to support software patching.

Why on Earth they would have soldered the ROMs in place on any machine is beyond me

I think that there is some confusion here....Note the four socketed DIPs next to the SIMM sockets. We can assume that the IIx layout is similar, because the ROMs were sold as an of…
I think that there is some confusion here.
The early Mac models have ROMs that are in a DIP package. Examples: 128K/512K, 512Ke/Plus, SE and SE FD/HD. Later Macs (SE/30 and IIfx) …

Yeah, as a part of the Mac II FDHD upgrade you do need IIx ROMs. I don't think the SWIM controller will fully function without it, as the Mac II ROMs most likely don't have the rig…
I believe the SE/30, and IIx ROMs are identical.
Since the Mac II can be upgraded to FDHD, does that also upgrade it to the IIx ROM?
I know the SE/30 can use a IIfx and IIsi ROM.…
