Making new system ROMs for my #Macintosh Classic II with an Xgecu T48 programmer and a 27C400 adapter on MacOS running Windows 10 under Parallels. Any ideas how to complicate this further are welcomed. #RetroComputing #vintagemac #macintoshclassic

On this, the last day of #MARCHintosh, we say goodbye with some After Dark Flying Toasters on my #AmigaCDTV pretending to be a #Macintosh.

This composite of two pictures of the same screen beautifully illustrates interlaced video from the Amiga CDTV. They show the screen displaying different fields (in this case 1/50 second). Together, these two fields make up the image you see on the CRT. There is a very noticeable flicker, especially when there’s sharp horizontal color differences between fields.

“It’s always flow control.” I printed again but instead of the ImageWriter II, I sent it over RS-232 and captured it with CoolTerm. I then sent that file (400K) to the ImageWriter II over serial. The flow control gods were smiling because it worked that time! So, I just need an external print buffer/spooler for CDTV and A-Max 😅

Printing from PageMaker starts off fine but quickly turns into garbage and starts ejecting pages from the ImageWriter II. I suspect there’s some hardware flow control problems with longer prints.

ZOOM AND ENHANCE ✨ Having this larger display was certainly an upgrade over the built in display of a classic Mac, but then again, lots of flicker! 😵💫

More CDTV pretending to be a Mac printing shenanigans: PageMaker 1.2! Ahh the logo alone takes me back. There’s a sample document on the disk so let’s try printing that!

But can we print from the Amiga CDTV pretending to be a Mac Plus with AMax? Yes! Here’s a MacWrite document (in San Francisco font, natch) printing over the “modem port” (Amiga serial) to an ImageWriter II.

Hey so I got the A-Max cartridge working somehow. I removed and tested three chips, all good. Tried it again and now it’s working! I can plug in the #FloppyEmu into it and access native Mac disk images now. Here’s #MacWrite!
