I thought it was the mouse freezing in System 7.5, and the 2.6 ROM fixed it, but can't remember for sure.
I still use my LaserWriter Pro 630 with my modern equipment, including Windows 10 and Mojave. Prints just lovely. Text just flies through that thing, but a document with a lot of graphical detail can take a bit too long to process. I've been thinking of retiring her for something a wee bit quicker.
@BadGoldEagle uploaded the 2.6 ROM if you want to burn it yourself. I haven't seen Macmetex list his stock on eBay for quite some time now. I wonder if he finally ran out?
Wow, that's an awesome find. A treasure for sure. DROOLING COMMENCES! Seems my luck has run out... haven't found anything cool in these parts for quite some time.
The internal filter I know nothing about. My IIfx doesn't have one, and it runs fine with either a standard HDD or SCSI2SD directly connected on the internal header. I don't think I tried it floppy only, perhaps it would be needed then? However, externally was a different story. I could not get a 300e Plus to show on the system without using the special black terminator. I have several terminators, but only the black one allowed the drive to be seen.
Yep, that's it! Super cool sleuthing @pb3623! Other than the ROM slot flipped to the front of the unit, it looks identical to what @Von has. Nice! Now, does that thing belong in the IIfx ROM socket, or is it for a Quadra? I'm scared! @Trash80toHP_Mini, As far as the relationship between Newer Technology and Spectrum, I'm not sure... I see magazines that say "Newer Technology, a division of Spectrum Engineering". I also see DBA listings detailing Spectrum Engineering DBA Newer Technology. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine!
Wow, that thing is super interesting! Spectrum Engineering is Newer Technology, so it may be marketed as that. It's not a VSOverdrive, @CC_333 and myself have one for the IIfx. They contain multiple clock cans and a faster processor. EDIT: I can't help but notice the similarity in model number. DT-88 vs DT-108B. I see reference to a VSO2.0 on the Newer Technology website, not sure if that is software revision or hardware. Perhaps this one is version 2 and the others are version 1? Wouldn't hurt to try the drivers and see what happens!
Ah ha! Most excellent! Super congrats are definitely in order. I'm part of the club, but still jealous!
There's a lot more black magic on the daughterboards than what would make it easy to build. But, if you have an Asante FriendlyNet AAUI, you can make it work. Discussion: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54200-wttwtb-asante-friendlynet-daughter-card-for-iisi-se30/ Probable pinout: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/54693-maccon-iisi-se30-with-friendlynet-adapter/
Perhaps each individual logic board has differing power draws dependent on the condition of the all the components? One of my SE/30s had such a drop, that any PDS card installed would not allow the machine to boot. In that case, the issue turned out to be UE8. Everything appeared to work OK, but that part was hot to the touch, and after replacement the issue was fixed. I haven't preformed any kind of statistical analysis, but I can only guess that things such as socketed FPUs will draw more power than more recent (relatively) SMD versions. PAL revisions can also have an impact on power requirements, as could solder joints or a plethora of other components. I'd guess even a keyboard or mouse can reflect an impact on the draw.
I don't think so, at least the photos on this page indicates a special adapter is needed for the vx.
I just happen to have my //c out on the bench to fix the crunchy keyboard! The label on the bottom doesn't match anything on the logic board. Mine is an early model, with ROM 255. I took some pictures for you. Hope it helps!
Great news! The Vonets has been working good for me, but having actual working HTTPS would be an INCREDIBLE feat!
As always, @Bolle, most excellent work. Very well done! @techknight, no. not allowed. But seriously, I for one can definitely understand the time sink. Get wrapped up so far in work and repairs, then there's no time to to actually play. Although, there is a certain degree of satisfaction when something clicks and it finally works. Thanks so much for the years of contributions on here, and your youtube videos. And I hope your retirement is sporadic at best.
No. 16 Penn State built another huge halftime lead, then cruised to an easy win over Temple with Hall of Famer Joe Paterno coaching from the press box in the second half. Daryll Clark threw two touchdown passes and ran for an 11-yard score and Stephfon Green ran for 132 yards and a 69-yard TD as the Nittany Lions rolled to 4-0 on the season with a 45-3 win over the Owls on Saturday.
Linebacker Navorro Bowman had three sacks and an interception to pace a stellar Penn State defense that held Temple to 138 yards and 10 first downs.
The 81-year-old Paterno walked slowly and gingerly at times along the sideline in the first half as Penn State built a 31-0 lead, then moved upstairs alongside his assistants in the second. He had been complaining this week of a sore right leg.
The Nittany Lions were sluggish in the first quarter, held scoreless in the opening frame for the first time this season. Penn State fumbled twice in the quarter, recovering both times. Things changed in a hurry.
Green had a 27-yard run to get Penn State to the Temple 20 before Clark connected with Brett Brackett over the middle, barreling over the Owls' Dominique Harris as he crossed the goal line to give Penn State a 7-0 lead with 14:27 left in the second quarter.
Evan Royster had a 32-yard TD run about 3:30 later. Temple thought it had regained momentum after Travis Shelton returned the ensuing kickoff 74 yards to the Penn State 26.
But the Nittany Lions got an interception. Three plays later, Clark ran in from 11 yards to put the Nittany Lions up 21-0.
Jake Brownell's 25-yard field goal in the third quarter gave the Owls their only score. Chester Stewart finished 16-for-30 for 116 yards and three interceptions in relief of starter Adam DiMichele, who was knocked out of the game because of a right shoulder injury. Penn State's offense continued to click against overmatched opponents. The Nittany Lions scored 40 or more points for the first four games in a season for the first time in Paterno's 43 seasons as head coach.
Paterno has complained of soreness in the right leg after kicking a ball in practice several weeks ago. He was on the sideline the entire game for the first three games this season, but monitored practices this week from a golf cart.
Paterno also sat in the press box the final two games of the 2006 season, including the Outback Bowl, as he recovered from a left knee injury.
A bag of what appeared to be candy turned out to be $85,000 of heroin, police said, leading to two arrests.
According to the New York City Police Department, 40-year-old Jesus Perez and 50-year-old Ivan Carvajas were stopped Monday night while the two were sitting in a car on Prince Avenue in Flushing, Queens.
The officers approached the men because they were sitting in an idling car, but discovered that Perez had a suspended license.
Perez and Carvajas are facing charges, including criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
