Would that work on the 040 machines with the LC-PDS slot? Since they didn’t have an 030 wasn’t it an ‘emulated’ pds slot. Yeah, not a lot of room in them pizza boxes. It would probalby need a fully dedicated card that might be beyond the scope of this.

What about us with LC-PDS slot Macs? Joking but sorta serious.

Oooo, your own control panel with custom graphics (in the style of the time). Maybe a little rocket ship to signify acceleration.

VRAM dimms to a Powermac 7200 perhaps.

Got a picture of said vram?

I have 128MB in mine and the ram check takes a minut or so, not five. I would definitely say an issues with the power supply or such, capacitors probably. My two cents.

I don't know why, but I remember Basilisk as being cludgy and crash-prone. I used the hda images from my ZuluSCSI in my 475 and it runs quick and completely error-free. The Daystar QuadControl control panel doesn't even crash it (it does it on the web-based InfiniteMac emulator).

I don't do it myself but for anyone that does any ROM programming, I seent this today. https://hackaday.com/2024/04/20/relatively-universal-rom-programmer-makes-retro-tech-hacking-accessible/

There ain't no drivers for that card for OS X. 3dfx went out of business and got bought out by Nvidia around when OS X was released. If you're lucky you might get it running as a dumb frambuffer in OS X, but that would be a waste and an insult to such a card.

Non-existent I believe. That's purely a classic Mac OS card. Get the one on eBay that guy was selling?

Got my 10-pack of 62-pin 3 rows D-sub connectors in finally. They fit nicely into the OrangePC 530. Now, time to start wiring it up thanks to @jeremywork

Alright, now that I have a little more time/money. Its time to work on that OrangePC cable...

From what Im seeing and sort of remember, the 8600 came with a 250MHz 604ev on the low end of the scale. The fastest 604e Apple shipped was 233MHz, like you mentioned.
