    Troubleshooting Quadro 4500 FX in G5 Quad

    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...

    Converting Acard AEC-7722 to AEC-7726

    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.

    SSHeven: a modern SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9

    @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 From what I recall from MacSSH, you need to enable outdated ciphers/key exchange protocols on the modern server to allow MacSSH to connect.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.

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    I've only tried mine with a DB25 SCSI cable that I think came from a SCSI Zip Drive. Not an expert, but I doubt you'd hurt anything trying a non-SCSI DB25 cable. I do know that the 25-pin connector is not really SCSI compliant as-is, so adding a non-compliant cable into the mix might have a...

    Now, what's going on with this iBook G4?

    Haven't tried it but maybe Burn would do the trick? Re: the files ending up as .pkg files on your Macbook Pro - perhaps Safari is automatically extracting the disk images and showing you the .pkg files contained within? Not sure what files from Macintosh Garden you are using. Also, it should...

    Having issue with a Beige G3 desktop...

    Try different combinations of RAM, one stick at a time. if possible might be worth booting off of a SCSI disk rather than IDE and seeing if that makes a difference.

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    I just used the ATXMEGA64A3U. All of the parts that I used I simply found based on the specifications in this BOM. If you want I could try to find the Newark order, but I also ordered some parts from Moueser, others from Digikey. Happy to provide these part lists but they are not annotated and...

    SCSI to Ethernet Adapter on New Hardware

    I used the BOM available in the Github repository and had no issues (except IIRC either C5 or R5 doesn’t exist on the PCB). For the most part I ordered from Newark so I can’t comment on the accuracy of the Digikey part numbers. IIRC the BOM confusion was just regarding an MCU change that didn’t...

    Hi ! medium-sized headache induced

    For the SCSI drive, probably easiest to get an SCA drive as described in this thread. There are alternatives, like RaSCSI, or SCSI2SD, but a real SCSI drive should be less troublesome in terms of setup. I generally agree that IDE drives are trouble compared to the alternatives that now exist...

    SSD for Powermac G3 beige minitower

    that’s just a PC SIL3112 card that has been flashed with Mac firmware... the same card can be had for $10.50 on AliExpress, but you’d need to solder on a different memory chip then flash the Mac firmware. I think the IDE speeds on this Mac have a theoretical max of 16MB/s. Not sure what you’d...

    Don't use 16V SOLID Tantalum on SE/30 Motherboards

    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...

    I’ve heard bad things regarding the ASM1083.
