I have a 7100/66 that I'm trying to restore. I want to install 7.5 rather than 7.1.2, but I'm running into some problems. I can't boot from the v1 CD and I can't even burn the v2 CD (ImgBurn gives me an "Invalid or unsupported image file format" error, even though I changed it from .toast to .iso, and that's worked for every other .toast file I've wanted to burn). The v3 CD is burnable and bootable. Unfortunately, the disks I tried to write using the disk images all ended up being bad.

MT-32 works with the 12" P166 Card in my 7300/G3-450

I think I should try this also! But I did not find which ApplePC-Cards allow Midi-Output. According to this: http://pccardfaq.com/manuals/pc_compatibility_card.pdf
There are only Win9x Settings mentioned

by dr.zeissler - 2016, September 8 - 6:19am

that is really bad news. Thx for that info. I think I should stop that project. Would be interesting how the PCI-PC-Cards react on that. I will search for documentation. Perhaps using an orangePC solution is the better choice.

But for the 7" Addon-Card
"Connecting a MIDI device
You can connect a MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) device to the game controller port that comes on some models of the PC Compatibility Card. To connect a MIDI device, you need a Sound Blaster–compatible MIDI- to-joystick adapter (available from your computer dealer.) For instructions on connecting devices to the joystick port, see the next section, “Connecting a PC Game Controller.”

by MikeTomTom - 2016, September 7 - 11:41pm

@dr.zeissler: I'm still in the process of collating the DOS Compatibility software - it will find a home here, shortly.

However, some bad news. I just read this in an Addendum to the Macintosh User's Guide (text document included in with the DOS Compatibility Installer Disk - Mac environment, version 1.0.5):

MIDI Transfers Supported on Macintosh Only

The LC 630 DOS Compatible does not have the capability of sending and receiving MIDI data through the serial port for DOS and Windows. MIDI data does travel internally on the PC side, but when connected direct for use with a MIDI instrument, no data will transfer. MIDI transfers are fully supported on the Macintosh side.

I am sorry to say, it is looking not so good for what you are wanting to achieve here.

by dr.zeissler - 2016, September 7 - 2:04pm

This is interesting! Thx!

by MikeTomTom - 2016, September 6 - 11:14am

Perhaps these Disks could solve other issues (ct-voice.drv) does not work for very old Dosgames/Demos.

I'll be adding a page for the LC/Performa/Quadra 630 DOS Compatible shortly (including the DOS software side), I'll add a link to it in this thread once its up.

The softmpu-driver has another feature that is routing the midi-signals not through the joystick-port and using a com-connection. Then I can use my working MacMidi-Connection and tell the PC-Compatiblity Extension to route the PC-Comport through Modem-Port of the Mac. Then I get signals on my MT-32 but they are garbage.

Here's a diagram scanned from the 630 DOS Compatible user manual describing the pinouts of Mini DIN-8 in relation to their DOS counterparts:

Apple Mini DIN 8 pinout comparison

It may be of use.

by dr.zeissler - 2016, September 5 - 10:42pm

Perhaps these Disks could solve other issues (ct-voice.drv) does not work for very old Dosgames/Demos.

I do not want to access the pc-joystick port from the mac-side. MacMidi works just fine, there are no issues with that.

Old Dos-Computers that have no MPU401i Midi-Interface as a 8Bit AddonCard can use Midi through the Joystickport of the SoundblasterCard and that is exactly what I wanted to do.

You need a breakout-cable for joystick and midi(in/out) connect this directly to the Midi-Module (MT-32 in my case) and configure the softmpu-driver. I used that same connection on the pc-side without any problems. But this does not work with the sb16 chips apple used in their doscards. I don't know why.

I don't know why the soundcard/soundchip in any Apple Dos-Cards do not send midi-signals through the joystick out.

I think that the joystick port is for games devices only on the PC side and that port is not accessible from the Mac side. As this Mac/DOS Compatible shares certain ports, then typically if a MIDI device was to work with the PC side at all, it would have to be routed through a mini-DIN 8 serial port (modem or printer ports).

In the PC Setup Control Panel on the Mac side you would need to assign either port (as COMM 1 or 2) and use a cable via the chosen serial port to the MIDI device you want to use.

How this pans out for you I couldn't say, as I have never used Mac connected MIDI devices. But if its going to work ever, my guess is it would be via the Mac's serial ports only.

[Edit] I also recall that for the DOS side, Apple supplied Sound Blaster 16 drivers - its been a long time since I owned this Mac so my memory is dim (that just came back to me)...

I don't have the Mac any more but I did keep the disks. So, additional to what's at the Apple mirror, I have Display & Sound Blaster 16 drivers, install disks. If you think they may help I will upload images of them.

by 24bit - 2016, September 4 - 4:21pm

Hi Doc!
Could you ever confirm that the MIDI output from games on the PC side could actually be routed to the Mac side serial ports? (Presuming that this was what you are trying)
Personally I doubt that such a thing was possible. MIDI timing issues are far too complex to be handled that way IMHO.
On a side note, none of the known Mac emulators ever ventured to support MIDI routing from the Mac emulator to the host OS, guess why.

This guy here has a 630/DOS in his collection, maybe he´s the one to ask.
https://computermuseum.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/performa-630-dos-compati...

For testing old games it would be much easier to use an old PentiumII or III (with or without SCSI HBA) and FusionPC or BII build 142 methinks. Mac 400k and 800k floppies can not be used that way, but many of those floppies have already been preserved as disk images.

by dr.zeissler - 2016, September 4 - 12:56pm

Currently I use 7.6.1 with Dos-Compatiblity-Software 1.6.4 But that seems to be not the problem.
I don't know why the soundcard/soundchip in any Apple Dos-Cards do not send midi-signals through the joystick out. Seems to be a hardware issue, but I can't find any information about that.

by MikeTomTom - 2016, September 4 - 9:54am

I once owned a Quadra 630 DOS Compatible, it shipped with SSW 7.5 and DOS Compatibility Software version 1.0.2 (I think) - Updating this to version 1.6.4 was a good move stability wise. - You can still DL this software (versions 1.0.2 to 1.6.4) from sites mirroring the old Apple Software Updates site.

I recommend version 1.6.4, there are two disk images to DL, one for the Mac side, the other is for the PC side. 1.6.4 requires Mac OS version 7.5.3 or newer, if you're running an earlier Mac OS then you may need to consider the earlier compatibility versions listed there. You won't require the file APPLEVDO.INF, also located at the above address, if you install version 1.6.4 (its included).

by dr.zeissler - 2016, September 4 - 8:18am

All drivers/tools for the pc-side, because I currently do not get the mt-32 to work for the pc-side.

Performa630Dos-CD: Is there a tool to extract the files without installation ?

No (not as far as I know). Performa installers look for physical disk drives before they will run, too, so emulators are out - unless you have a rare setup with actual SCSI drives and emulator that can read/write to them (e.g.; Basilisk II, build 142 on Windows).

Anything in particular that you were hoping to extract?

Have you tried to get mounted the CD image from within the Basilisk GUI application already?
You could add it like the hard disk drive files.

by Think Differently - 2015, November 21 - 5:48am

Hi, if anyone is still supervising this page, can someone please upload the CD files, especially the Performa ones, in .sit archive format? The .toast images are too big and they freeze up Basilisk II when trying to mount them. I can't access any of the applications because the system locks up. Thanks so much to anyone who can help!

by bender - 2013, May 18 - 4:44am

I replaced the link for the Powermac 6100/7100/8100 restore CD version 3.0. I have the physical cd so i can upload it again if it is removed.

Was wondering if there was an extension I might have missed

by MacinTricks - 2012, February 15 - 5:35am

Ooh! Thank you so much! I can post this as an application now, too! If this is from the restored Performa disc, can you do one more thing for me? Can you peek inside the Extensions folder and find the "Billminder" extension? Apparently that's part of it, too. It would be really cool!

by Protocol 7 - 2012, February 15 - 1:41pm

Here's Quicken 4: http://ge.tt/9ZbEpeD (updated with Billminder extension)

Poo. I'm using Linux. Thanks though.

by Fortuna Wave - 2012, February 14 - 8:22am

by MacinTricks - 2012, February 14 - 1:48am

Would somebody do me a huge favor? I really need a copy of Quicken 4.0. Apparently, the restore disc:

http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-system-75#Performa_630CD_635CD...

contains Quicken 4, but it's trapped inside the Restore All Software program. I recognize it is possible to extract this disc using SoftMac XP by emulating a SCSI volume, as specified in the Performa Restore Discs guide, but I don't have access to a Windows-based system. Perhaps someone even has a standalone version of Quicken 4.0 they would be willing to upload to M.G.?

by IIGS_User - 2012, February 11 - 4:51pm

Sure. Please (someone) upload all the external stuff to the internal server, too.

by Fortuna Wave - 2012, February 11 - 10:32am

It's time to merge all the pages associated with Mac OS 7.5.0 with this page, making just like a guide. Also, I have resizing CD scans and cleaned up all discussions from the original application pages.

Buy it yourself if you want it so bad. And that big complicated request does not belong in the software's description field. You should post it to the forum or to comments.
