I'd be happy to try if anyone wants to trade me one :)  The only PowerCache I have is a non-P33 model - which I've read here should work in the SE/30 but it's a PDS card. I don't see why it wouldn't work... that's what I have to do to the PPC 601 cards to run A/UX on my IIci, 700 and 950...

Because it's probably the best machine to run it, I enjoy working with a CLI and Lord knows I have enough 7.6.1/8.1 machines (though I think my 950 has an 8.5 folder). I'm sure my wife and friends outside of this hobby of ours could ask precisely why one would want to play with 30-yr old...

That's all I use my 950 for. You haven't lived until you've gotten an A/UX box talking to an SGI and a NeXT with a full TCP/IP and OpenSSL stack.

Yeah, that’s the same failure “chime” (minus the blips) that the other PPC 601 cards for Quadra PDS have, which include the nice brass flourish on boot that I think was taken from the 5200. 

Plus the ability to run A/UX, since DayStar apparently never got around to adding compatibility for the 040. 

Ha! It has been a while, for sure... I still have the Turbo 601 but I'm not the one to figure this out... it's way out of my league but I'd certainly consider lending it out if someone wants to take a crack at it. 

AR - I just got a 550c with 167 MHz PPC and LOVE IT! I also put a SCSI2SD in it over the weekend. Internally, it works great. One of the things I saw on Low End Mac, after a ton of troubleshooting is that neither the PB 100- nor 500-series supply termination power to external SCSI (in our case...

Thanks, @JDW - I knew you would be able to weigh in I asked about 一 because my 145B keyboard has it screened onto the 1 key - but I understand sensibilities change over time and someone obviously decided, as you say, that the JIS layout was just too cluttered. As to why? Well, the 550c was...

I misspoke - I meant for my 540c. So donor 520c gives up the LCD to the 540c that has a bad lower half (ribbon cable maybe?) and Japanese keyboard to the 550c. 

That's true. I wanted the option for a JIS keyboard instead of US. Since my last post, I found exactly what I needed for the time being - a 520c on eBay with a missing trackpad and not in the best of conditions, BUT a kana/Kanji*** keyboard and replacement LCD to donate to the 550c. I don't...

@CC_333 What about outside of the 500 series? I have a 550c coming from Japan but, strangely, it has a standard US keyboard.  If the 550c itself is rare, I imagine a black 550c Romaji/Kanji keyboard is even rarer but would, say, a 190/3400 keyboard work in it?

IIRC, the WRP project was worked into the MacIPgw project (the Debian image and VM) and I think I got the proxy properly configured and working... once. I may need to revisit it if the WRP part got an upgrade.

How about  ROM-inator ROM images for writing to SIMMs with various configurations and sizes (e.g., w/ Turbo 040 driver, w/ RAM check disabled, ROM disk, regular vs. MEGA SIMM) STL files for 3D-printed case/chassis parts, bezels, etc. (i.e., true parts and not a Mac Plus Apple Watch...

I'm not back in town until next week. I'll attach a pic. Aside from the 'stub' that the card plugs into, everything else is inside the case - but yeah, maybe a spring-loaded slot next to the brightness knob or programmer switch.

I have the same issue with one of my Q700s - I still haven't found the issue. I thought it was a PRAM issue where it was corrupted (and went through all sorts of acrobatics to get Sticky Keys installed so I could navigate through TechTool and fully zap PRAM)... clearly it's not impossible and...
