Mateusz MisztoftSuccessfully printed the case. Everything assembled together. Now I can start messing around with PiSCSI and Mac SE π

@lukaszjokiel I prefer #PiSCSI since it has some more features like the Web control interface or the printer device
The case for PiSCSI is already printing. Only 8 more hours and it will be over π First time printing with PET-G so I'm sure to mess something up π

BlueSCSI@piscsi is only 4 stars away from 500 - consider giving them a star (and a follow)!
GitHub - PiSCSI/piscsi: PiSCSI allows a Raspberry Pi to function as emulated SCSI devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, and others) for vintage SCSI-based computers and devices. This is a fork of the RaSCSI project by GIMONS.

kylewIβve been wanting to get in on the #MARCHintosh action a little more than I haveβbut the month has been pretty crazy. Fortunately itβs a nice snow day today, so Iβve been trying to get stuff working with #globaltalk , #piscsi and #BlueSCSI The SE/30 has a NIC card, but itβs only showing two megs of Ram. The joys of retro tech.
Peter RedeckerWie finde ich heraus, warum mein Mac Classic dieses Image nicht booten will, was mit dem Mac Plus einwandfrei funktioniert? System 7.0.1, von @3rz optimiert (meine ich jedenfalls π) #MARCHintosh #piscsi
Elara Voss fucked my wifethis is Ryza! she's a PowerBook 180 in fairly good condition and the nicest 68k Mac i own.
this MARCHINTOSH, i'm going to try to upgrade Ryza with a WiFi-capable PiSCSI (fka RaSCSI) so i can test and someday play Atelier Esri, my homebrew Atelier demake.
i'm also going to try out a brand new JCS PowerBook 1xx battery. and while i'm in there, i can at least inventory the capacitors and check the PRAM battery.
unfortunately, like most 180s, her active matrix screen is developing "tunnel vision", slowly fading from the corners inward as long as she's on. (it reverts when she's not, but it can take multiple days, far slower than the fading).
fortunately, Ryza has video output and is capable of driving a VGA monitor or capture box, so i won't need to rely on her screen too much.

Andrew π» Brandt πI have continued futzing around with the #Apple #Macintosh #PowerBook 145B. My weekend project was to remove the ancient, decrepit SCSI hard drive (functional, but loud as heck) and replace it with the #Androda #BlueSCSI, a custom PCB with a Raspberry Pi Pico W attached to it. (The Pi Pico W also gives the PowerBook an internal WiFi connection, something the original never had.)
Fortunately I already have some experience working with .hda disk image files from last year's #PiSCSI project, so I had some ready-made virtual hard disks loaded with software I've barely touched.
Today at @mediaarchaeologylab I found a floppy disk for the 1995 Norton Disk Editor, a low-level diagnostic tool that I can't imagine there was much consumer demand for. The disk editor contains some hidden gems of MacIntosh lore I was previously unaware of.
The UI says "The Disk Type bytes identify the type of Macintosh file system in use on the volume. If the bytes are $D2D7 (or 'RW' - standing for Randy Wigginton) then the volume is an MFS volume. If the Disk Type bytes are $4244 (standing for 'BD' or "Big Disk") then the volume is an HFS volume."
(Edit: I don't know if Apple had its own version of ASCII, but while in traditional ASCII hex 0x4244 = "BD," ASCII hex values for "RW" would be 0x5257, not 0xD2D7, so that's...weird)
Randy was employee number 6 at Apple, and a neighbor of Woz. Turning your initials into magic bytes buried in the filesystem you designed seems just so...early Apple.
The PowerBook is now completely silent when it runs. It doesn't have an internal fan. The hard drive motor was the only thing that made any noise (aside from the speaker, of course).
And the BlueSCSI? With a 128GB MicroSD card, it has about 1600 times as much storage as that old 80MB hard drive.
dmarkThe Nov 2023 version of the #PiSCSI software, hot off the presses: https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/releases/tag/v23.11.01 β¦ it might be the best version yet for your #SCSI equipped #VintageMac #retrocomputing. :)
onionQuadra 700 did not like #piscsi and then I remebered termination. Weirdly it worked just fine on the 950.
