Those old SCSI2SDs have to be setup properly over USB with the right settings in order for them to even work. The newer versions of those and BlueSCSI allows you to just drop images on the SD card and avoid all that nonsense.
For Wolfenstein 3D there's a system extension patch for it that can pixel double the 320x200 mode to 640x400 so it better fills the screen while being much less demanding that trying to run it in native 640x400 mode. Much like the MS-DOS version is actually doing.
Someone gave me one of these back in the late 90's, a friend in Jr high/High School. This and a 5150. I couldn't figure out the Apple File System, we didn't have Dial-Up. So it went to somebody else lol.
Apple loved using these shitty plastic cases back then, they are all so flimsy looking and brittle. That's one of the reasons I prefer old PCs, they are built like tanks. Did you film this before the move btw?
agreed on case quality. Every time I open up an old Mac case I feel like some plastic tab somewhere inevitably breaks off. I usually film videos in parts, so I filmed the basic overview back at the old apt and then finished it up after the move.
It depends when the mac was made, lots of macs like the ii series, or the lc series have high quality plastics that dont shatter so easily(yet). Those problems usually arise in later macs, like later lcs, quadras(after the 700 and 950), performas, and almost all powermacs.
Ive seen videos of Wolf 3D running on 386Sx, same low res (320x200), visibly better than this. It should be flawless on a full 32-bit 030. I guess its down to mac graphics card not accelerating drawing.
yeah, I made sure it was in 32-bit mode and everything seems to check out. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Apple video cards on Nubus, maybe I should try the built-in video and see if there's an improvement though when I asked over at the Mac forums everyone indicated the add-on video card should be superior.
I don't remember if your videos always have been like this, without tripod, (it's my fresh fresh account, I deleted the previous one). Or I am getting older, but the picture is so shaky without the tripod.
@@JeffTiberend I still have to disagree. Sure it was different and it felt fancier and more premium but a simple button was still a simpler and slightly less failure-prone method that worked just as well. Electronic eject wasn't even any faster as your hand was headed to the drive anyways. I'm not really sure what electronic eject accomplished besides giving a "premium feel" and creating a slightly more involved process of removing your disk should the drive fail or you turned off your computer and forgot to eject.
@@AncientElectronics I respect that. It’s just was Apple’s style. And, it’s one of those things I miss. I used to have a Classic II Mac in the early 90’s.
One slot you may want an upgraded sound card... the stock Iici has no audio in. They were also used for the network cards... the stock Iici doesn't have any ethernet. I'm sure there were a ton of special-use NuBus cards that you could have needed back in the day.
From what I know of Macintosh computers sound cards are basically nonexistent. From my understanding, all the Macs have some sort of integrated sound and you just get what you get. besides a few super rare and expensive examples like a sound blaster and a pro audio spectrum that I'm not even sure if any Mac games support I'm unaware of any common Nubus sound cards.
@@AncientElectronics There weren't a ton of them. I had one from (Supermac?) that was NuBus for my IIsi. My Mac had built-in 8-bit stereo in and out, but for $200 I got one from Tiger Direct that had 16/24-bit in and out. They definitely existed. The audio drivers for NuBus sound cards generally integrated into the Finder sound control panel so they were used by anything that used standard system calls - which was most anything after system 6. Sound options were presented to apps through the system API so an app should use whatever you selected. That doesn't mean the app was OPTIMIZED to use new features... but they were presented as options in the API. 😃

You're obviously queazy about the capacitors. You told us several times how you probably trust the owner.

I have a IIci with a DayStar Turbo '040, a Radius Macintosh Display Card 24ac and an Asante MacCon+IIET network card.

Ah yes my 2nd Mac. It was awesome. Had a RasterOps 24 bit NuBis card.
Wow this amount of RAM, huge! :)

Ah. OK, checked previous videos. Not much changed :-))
BMOW -> Big Mess 'o Wires. Great guy.
Electronic Eject was an nice way to have a disk ejected. It wasn't over-engineered. It was thinking different.
