There were a couple cards manufactured, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to find them or the matching software. One such card is the IDEAcomm Mac which fits into an SE. I have seen one in person so I can confirm they exist. DCA May have also manufactured such cards, but finding info on...

A bit of a fun one I'm running into. I've got a PC Transporter here that's software detected in a IIe, but in IIgs (tried two) it just throws PC Transporter Not Found messages. You can see it show up under the IIgs ROM control panel as My Card, none of the programs will see it though. Anyone...

Throw it on ebay, $1 starting bid market will decide.

That's just Classic Mac OS. The TCP/IP stack is suboptimal, and everything kind of chugs along with network transfer. Here's a G3 Beige with a 500 MHz G4 which also gets in that range.

Fink keeps bugging me, I keep forgetting to acquire hot air to actually do the job. I promise to get to it in the near future, I just need to grab a hot air station to actually get the chip off the board.

Is this the one from jen[bunchofnumbers] on ebay? If so, they swore left and right on ebay that this board worked 100% fine (without proof) and then started having some sort of meltdown posting names of people who sent "lowball offers" onto a facebook group before getting booted. Wanted...

Honestly both Apple and Commodore should've conceeded to HP with their 68k line of workstations, and just ported their OS there. HP was killing it! Like the HP 9000/320 came out in 1985 and already had a 68020. And 1280x1024 8-bit graphics. And ethernet. And 1 MB RAM. Apple and Commodore...

As it turns out, I have one of these too! I bought a card at a flea market to try and flash with this firmware, and as it turns out, it's already a Mac card. Mine's showing up as an XRack SUA100. It's also got a VIA VT6421A instead of an L like the Mathey has. I can confirm it will boot under...

Honestly I’m disappointed to not see any ACARD benchmarks in this thread. The kids all fight about their Zulu vs Blue but it’s like arriving whether your Chrysler 200 or Nissan Altima are a better car. Can we get some benchmarks of a Ferrari instead of just a 300 credit score race?

When doing this, did you just flash the ROM on the board and solder in the missing jumper header? I've got an -04A here but haven't tested due to being tape firmware.

Heads up this *may* not be the best idea from a legal standpoint. A complete PSU will very very likely need to go through a bunch of safety/compliance checks to sell in many countries. UL/TUV is not cheap. You'd be opening yourself up to a lot of liability if one were to somehow fail and cause...

I've been using one for a while (a year or so? Idk it's been a while) and so far so good :) . I've rocked it on my Powerbook for a few events since USB mice are way more disposable than ADB at this point in time.

Finally back home! Had myself gone 3 of the last 4 weeks :(. Here's a link: https://fsck.technology/software/Apple/Dynamac/

Once I get home next week I can bring it back up. That web host is with the lord now, but I've got a full site backup still. I'll merge it into the newer-and-greater project :) .

It's very possible it's also just from a batch of chips that failed QC at the initial rated speed. It's not uncommon for chips to be binned lower when they fail to meet some spec or another (like the early 486 SXs that just had a bad FPU that disabled).
