Booting from a DVD may be different because there is no writable swap file on the startup disk. So install discs may not use virtual memory at all, being that there isn't necessar…

Just again out of curiosity, what other projects have you done with a propeller? It doesn't look like it's actually *that* trivial to add high-speed external RAM to one. (Unless I'…

startup chime twice on cold boot — #16

If you have a Fry's Electronics, grab the battery there. They have them for round $5 or $6. Otherwise places like Radioshack charge an unbelievable $21 for a battery.

eMac HD replacement - yikes! — #10

They're good machines the eMacs but they are very loud and huge. The main part is that retarded cable that goes to the power button.

PB 100 resurrection — #2

I had a PB100 that did the exact same thing - weird flickering screen/static noises and needed a firm slap on the 2.5" SCSI drive before it span up after years of not being turned …

I'm probably going to have to grab the whole frame. The scan doubling sounds interesting, but it will be displayed on an LCD monitor. What I think I'm going to do is make the bitma…

Mac Plus and External SCSI — #15

I have no idea what "dodgy C programmers" has to do with anything. Click to expand... With DMA, a dodgy C program can write into the data that something else is about to write …

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #5

I'm using Mac OS 9.2.2, but I imagine it'll work even with System 7 (I could try tomorrow, as I still have an easily-bootable version of it... I didn't stop using System 7 until ab…

Excellent work, Noidentity. I suspect that you are repeating some of the investigations performed by the authors of the various shareware "set res" utilities, but it is much better…

Sorry, I was writing my post while you made your post. Taking the signal off the board is an option, but then the two boards are physically locked together. I really don't want to …
