looks like a PC Card to me. I think the Mac version would have a longer bracket that slides into the PCIe slot carrier behind the cards in the G5. I also recall that the faceplate on the Mac version had the typical Apple aluminum finish, rather than the shiny metal on the PC cards. My bet is...

I only used mine on the 50 pin interface on the Beige G3/SE/30 so I can't comment on that. Glad you've sorted out the inconsistencies, though.

@cy384 - this is amazing! great work! From what I recall from MacSSH, you need to enable outdated ciphers/key exchange protocols on the modern server to allow MacSSH to connect. The OP says that SSHeven should work with modern servers OOTB.

I agree that it, if you have not already recapped your Mac, it would be wise to use 25v caps instead of 16v due to the negligible increase in price. However, I believe that your conclusions regarding the risk of using 16v caps are overstated: This is true, but why omit the context, page 19 of...

Adding a data point here: I recapped the Apple Singapore version of the SE/30 power supply earlier this spring (same PSU as what @thxkbye, @iamroot  have posted in this thread). It seems that capacitor leakage is a huge issue on these PSUs: mean looked similar to the picture above, and there was...

I would expect a large red film cap to look like the attached - in fact I grabbed that image from the cap kit you linked.  Are you sure you didn't actually install the cap intended for C15 into the C12 spot? The original C12 cap is a film capacitor, so I think it would be an easy mistake to...

Just got this Power Mac 7200/120 for next to nothing. Only upgrade is a two port USB card. Nothing too exciting.  It seems that the SCSI hard drive (Quantum Fireball SE) in this thing is dying. When I turn it on, it starts booting and gets into the Mac OS 8.6 screen very quickly. Unfortunately...

+1 - I have one of these cards, so I'm also curious. I haven't gotten a chance to test mine. Interestingly enough, the chip for U8 has identifying markings ground off and replaced with an Asante label on mine, while it is not concealed on yours. Looks like it is a PAL chip. I've never seen...

I feared that I would get this response...  Here's what happens with the other 5 settings: Is there any way to tell if the processor speed is being reported correctly? I'm just reading from Apple System Profiler in 9.2.2 right now.  I found some interesting info on this old thread: and...

Just got a Beige G3 Desktop. Someone in the past has installed an OWC G4/550 upgrade, which was a nice surprise Are there any drivers necessary to use this CPU in OS 9/OS X? It seems that the answer is no, but I don't know if there's any functionality that is missing without drivers. I'd...

I have a weird problem with a 12" 640x480 display. When I first turn it on, the picture is extremely squished vertically - otherwise fine. Over about 10-15 minutes, the display gradually stretches vertically until the picture looks normal. This happens so slowly that it really is imperceptible...

I've been playing around with the idea of making a similar daughterboard, but with an OpenWRT router integrated, rather than the Vonets. I tried to track down the datasheet for what @joethezombie posted, though it says UM9095L I think it's the same as DM9095L; looks like UMC and Davicom are...

:cry:  On the SE with System 7.1, no file generated... The .txt file is generated immediately on the iMac running 9.2.2, and it seems to write to it just fine there as it goes through the process of logging in. No such luck on the SE. Out of curiosity, since things are behaving weirdly here, is...

Also, trying to get stunnel set up correct for Spotify - my  /etc/init.d/stunnel seems very different from what it should be, according to the GitHub instructions (copied below): vim /etc/init.d/stunnel Line 96: Change from: printf "accept = %s:%s\n" "$accept_host" "$accept_port"...

Working on a Mac SE. It seemed to work fine, when I got it about a month ago. Tried it the other night and had some issues - it would chime, and chime, and chime, then display Sad Macs.  I didn't get around to taking it apart till now, found a battery in the early process of leaking. Removed the...
