Topic: NuBus


In the News (Wed 19 Nov 08)

  
  NuBus
NuBus is a 32-bit parallel computer bus, originally developed at MIT as a part of their NuMachine workstation project.
NuBus was later selected by Apple Computer for use in their Macintosh II project, where its plug-n-play nature fit well with the Mac philosophy of ease-of-use.
NuBus was also selected by NeXT Computer for their line of machines, but used a different physical PCB layout, which didn't help matters.

 NUBUS : Encyclopedia Entry
NuBus is a 32-bit parallel computer bus, originally developed at MIT as a part of the NuMachine workstation project, and eventually used by Apple Computer, NeXT Computer and Texas Instruments.
NuBus was first used in the Texas Instruments Lisp Machine, the TI Explorer, a derivative of the MIT NuMachine design work.
NuBus was also selected by NeXT Computer for their line of machines, but used a different physical PCB layout.

 Self-configuring memory management system with on card circuitry for non-contentious allocation of reserved memory ...
Typically, NUBUS bus requests control of the processor buses by issuing a - /BR signal; request for the processor buses is granted by the signal /BG which is received by the NUBUS bus to memory 2 state machine 104 which acknowledges receiving the granting of the processor buses for mastership.
NUBUS bus can lock onto the processor buses by asserting a Lock Attention signal which causes CPU 1 to relinquish control of the processor buses for several transactions without CPU 1 contention until Null Attention signal is asserted; assertion of Lock Attention causes looping of the states B1 to F1.
NUBUS bus devices, in this embodiment, access a portion of the motherboard's ROM memory space and a portion of the motherboard's I/O memory space (which is usually physical RAM set aside for I/O use) indirectly by presenting addresses on NUBUS bus 10 in the range of $F000 0000 to $F0FF FFFF (slot space $0).

 so takahashi/nubus
Having listened to so’s first self-produced and distributed cd-r "1" earlier in the year, carpark thought it was time to give more people a chance to listen to this distinct and unusual sound.
While his first cd is specifically aimed at the dance floor, "Nubus" seeks out an area somewhere just outside the club after closing.
There are other musical dichotomies that are constantly being negotiated on nubus as well: "order vs. chaos" "pop vs. un-pop" "mechanics vs. organics." In the end, so demonstrates how futile these dichotomies ultimately are at the end of the millenium, and brings us to a greater understanding and appreciation of music through music.

 Accelerating Unaccelerated NuBus Video Cards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Normal data transfer on NuBus is done in the form of long words, which are 32-bit chunks of data.
NuBus architecture can also transfer data in the form of blocks (several long words at once).
In addition, several NuBus video cards have had the ability to act as "slaves," where a master card can take over and do block transfers to and from the slaved card.

 Nubus Video Cards
The tough part was finding a NuBus adapter--none of the mailorder places had them, and Apple could not give them a date when existing backorders would be filled.
The Apple 24AC NuBus video card should work, but early ones sent to developers and also sold by Radius have the version 1.0 ROM which is not compatible with anything above System 7.5.2.
The 24AC is one of the few NuBus video cards that provides accelerated video on both 68K and PowerPC and such a wide range of System versions.

 Asante Support Forums - AsanteFast NuBus 10/100
However, I don't see any "AsanteFast 10/100 NuBus Driver" in either extensions folder, in fact, I don't see any NuBus drivers besides "Apple Ethernet NB", which I placed in the disabled extensions folder, so it wouldn't conflict with the asante driver.
The AsanteFast 10/100 Nubus card was only ever tested for compatibility through OS 8.1.
One thing to keep in mind is that the AsanteFast 10/100 Nubus card does not autonegotiate the way most of today's Ethernet equipment does.

 Mac Cards, including PCI and NuBus
NuBus cards are for the Mac II series, early Performa, early Quadra, and early Centris systems which used the NuBus card scheme.
NuBus is not the same as "PCI", PCI is a later card bus standard on many PowerMacs including the 7200, 7300, 7500, 8500, 8600, 9600, G3 and related systems.
Nubus or PCI video capture cards will be listed on this Web page, look in those sections; and possibly as part of an A/V system on the Mac system pages mentioned above.

 Setting Up a NuBus Power Mac as a Digital Recording Studio
Word on the street suggests that some may be better than others: 80 MHz machines are preferred for their 40 MHz bus speed, and second-wave models (8100/100, 8100/110, 7100/80, and Radius System 81/110) come with an improved ROM SIMM.
Make sure to reserve two spare audio tracks for all the synth instruments in the final mixdown; they're generating their sounds independently from the Macintosh and will need to be patched in at the end.
A bug in the first ROM causes NuBus performance to be degraded; the bug was fixed in the later ROM.

However, if you own the PM6100 with NuBus adapter card and one of the nice NuBus video card or any other kind of NuBus card, you may feel really sad when you upgraded G3 card and lost your precious NuBus card capability.
That means NuBus adapter card is physically attachable to those G3 upgrades if you remove a metal bracket and ignore the position and the direction of NuBus slot.
For example, PowerMac 8100 has three NuBus slots and those IDs are $B, $C and $D from the bottom.

 20 Ways to Misuse an Orange386 NuBus PC Card
It is a full length NuBus card designed to provide an Intel 386 PC (DOS/Windows environment) for the Mac II series.
The lid wouldn't fit after doing this because of the bulky monitor cable; in theory it would be possible to make up a cable that is flexible to wrap around and pass through one of the NuBus slot cut outs in the case.
The only change when using the Orange386 with a VGA card is to switch the monitor setting on the switch box; the PC environment is then displayed in full screen mode.

 Debian Linux On A Nubus Power Mac (6100, 7100, 8100)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As it turns out, work on a Nubus-compatible monolithic kernel has borne fruit, allowing me - and you - to choose from fairly current releases of Debian and Yellow Dog Linux for PPC.
While Nubus PowerMacs are dogs compared to current hardware, they can often be found for US$5 or so at yard or rummage sales, and multi-gigabyte SCSI drives are US$20 to US$40 on eBay.
With a set of Debian PPC CDs, a download of the custom Nubus kernel and kernel/installer, and the instructions here or at one of the installation note links in the left column, you'll soon be in business.

However, it is possible to run PT v3.4 on NuBus machines and unapproved PCI models if you perform a custom, manual installation.
Running PT v3.4 on any NuBus Mac is not an approved or supported practice by Digidesign, and there is no official recourse for support lest things go wrong.
I took a version of DAE I had laying around (version 2.95, I belieive), and changed the "ver" string with ResEdit to the version that PT was looking for.
