Some things you need to know netBEUI: If your Mac only reports 1024 RAM, then the board only has 512K on it, combined with the 512K on your board to total 1024K. Notice there are three rows for RAM? I suspect it can be configured for 512K, 1MB, & 1.5MB. Or 1-2MB total when combined with the Mac's

Really!? I have been looking for a SCSI solution for 64K ROMs for years. I know the Dr. Dobbs published an article by John Bass on how to build your own SCSI adapter for the Macintosh in September 1985. It required custom drivers for each drive it was to access. Since there were no standardized dri

Dear all, It has been a while since the show. Well, the show photos (320 pictures) are online since November 2009 but in good old Sinclair manner it took longer than estimated to complete the aftershow- webpage. ;-) But it’s ready now. Highlight of the recent QLvsJAGUAR website update is the QL-Ma

Yes, it is most likely a MiniMux board required to decode more than 128K RAM. This confirms that your 128K board has been upgraded to a 512K which was a requirement of the Dove board. Therefore you may have 1.5MB RAM, not sure how the Dove board handles it. In a straight 512K board upgrade the Min
