@Equill: I'm in the same boat here, but I have good news! It turns out that you can use the MicroMac Thunder/ThunderCache Control Panel and it'll work perfectly with the Extreme Systems Impact '030. Grab version 1.2.3 here...

By third hand, techknight was referring to the two solder method, not the twizzer-solder/twin-pencils method. Anyways, I see what you're saying Trag, and yes there might be stress while twisting if done quickly and abruptly, but if there's any stress it's on the pads, not on the motherboard...

Worked or me as well on 10.6.4, good job. However writing to a USB ZIP drive takes over 5 minutes for ~10MB or so (of 2-3 files, not tiny files).

@techknight: That's why I don't recommend it. Even with the specialized "tonsil soldering irons". Add to that the epoxy which is described correctly above (which many high end motherboards use - and is really hard to work against with tonsil type irons) and twist+turn is the best method IMHO...

For future reference/anyone stumbling on this thread who's trying to remove SMD caps, the following is a tested and very successful method (I'd say far superior to any of the above - I've done hundreds of SMD cap replacements and I have tried all the of the above too): Use a pair of pliers to...

Don't know if Zydeco is checking this thread, but the error is probably due to him linking against a newer library. Console.app says: Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib Referenced from: /sbin/mount_fusefs_hfs Reason: Incompatible library version...

Show off :-p

Very interesting discussion. Another thought for helping remove any doubts about power supply problems is to trace the Turbo 601 and find out where to supply power and get power directly from the PSU (or from an external PSU) right onto the Turbo 601. But... you better know what you're doing if...

Beautiful photos! Thanks. And that is one tiny BRAIN! ;-)

This thread is the mega-LOL! Starting with the original post and System7's "Pictures or it never happened"! Hahahaha! Awesome find indeed!

Nice snags stevep! Could you post a couple of photos of the Brainstorm accelerator? I'm curious to see what it looks like. Cheers

Spectacular! Need you even ask the question (about money well spent)!? Now as for your wife and imminent death... well, tough luck :-)

The PowerMac G5s are doomed to coolant system failure (leaking coolant). :-(

That's because it runs some form of Amiga OS! :-) (AFAIK) Mac OS wasn't the only game in town. And as far as what you can do with it (again, AFAIK): you can run a newer Amiga OS on it, and various software (the kind that don't bang on the hardware directly, aka games) will work with it. So...

Yes, I'm afraid so. Thus the question remains: how did people use the 2nd button (since this was obviously only useful on ADB Macs...) Anyone know? Where there < OS X drivers in the past? Thanks
