No help? Anyone?

Appears to be an Orange386 variant. Did you read thru this: http://archive.retro.co.za/mirrors/68000/www. … d.com/O386.html

There are a few articles on these cards discussing how to change the ram amount (one through the orangePC application, another through hitting ctrl-alt-esc), but nothing works . I cannot get the computer to produce a keyboard error either, which I heard will show the setup key sequence, and my application does not have the ram option (i think that was for a later pentium flavor card).

"The Orange386 does not have a conventional CMOS and BIOS settings are stored in the application preferences file on the Mac system disk. The easiest way to enter the BIOS setup is to hold down any key on startup to generate a keyboard error; then type Ctrl-Alt-Esc to run the BIOS setup program."

Yes. As I said, I cannot get the card to produce a keyboard error. Although I didn't mention it, whenever I hold down keys to try and produce a keyboard error, it just sits there and beeps until the invalid inputs are cleared and it continues to boot. Unless I'm not doing something right, I'm not sure what else to try. I'll try to get a picture of the post screen tonight.

Does anyone have any sort of list of the different key combinations for getting into setup on computers with scatsx bios?

Is there another forum that may be of better assistance? I had high hopes here due to the high activity on the old hardware sections, but it seems like no one here has any idea : /

This is predominantly an x86 forum, but there are of course a lot of Mac fans, and fans of devices like the OrangePC here. However the Nubus OrangePC range is quite rare, and sells for silly money when they do come up on eBay, so there aren't a lot of people around with these cards. From memory, a member known as dr. zeissler posts sometimes about Mac PC compatibility cards, and seems to have an OrangePC (PC-Cards on Macintosh (NUBUS or PDS or PCI) and https://www.flickr.com/photos/94839221@N05/al … 157665671196304), so he may have some knowledge. Personally, I love the OrangePC and other PC compat. cards, but mine are for later models, being PCI and PDS. One other place that might have some knowledgeable people on this card are at Vintage Computer Federation (vcfed.org). Best of luck, would be interesting to see this card up and running.

I appreciate the response. I kinda figured since this card uses physical hardware, I thought that coming to a pc oriented forum would net some results. I get that the card requires the use of a macintosh and a special application, but for the most part its fairly independent of the macintosh.
