Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #6

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…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #5

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) …

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #2

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…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #1

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.…

Those aren't disk images. They are the files from the disks. The folder named MacMovies has the programs and a bunch of movies in it. If you want disk images, download the files an…

sticking a Mini into a compact case? — #5

Why not! But are there ever "definitive" instructions for any specific mod? I mean, when I started the Macminitosh I spent a lot of time on the web looking for similar projects, a…
