    Tum te tum...

    Waiting for the ultrasonic to warm up to clean it. It has some artifacts and I hope that is just due to the crud from soldering. Will check it over again if it doesn't solve it.

    Like flashed 64MB Radeon 7000s, this is still saying 128MB even though it has 256MB, but at least I think 128bit is working, because otherwise it wouldn't be using the new VRAM right?

    We'll see :)

    Yay! Found a dry solder joint when I looked in better light.

    Works perfectly now.

    @cheesestraws it has a modern IDE Podule with a DOM fitted. It's tricked out. 4MB, a Gotek and a 3 way switch to select 12, 16 or 24MHz.

    Doesn't have a battery though, so I have a boot script on the default gotek floppy image that sets up the disks and some other stuff.

    The Gotek fits with no hacking of the case.

    In case you've forgotten... Copy (not delete) to reset the battery backed settings after removing the battery, and then cycle the power holding numeric pad 4 to get it working properly with VGA.

    @joshc The IIsi has no logic board, the IIx only boots one in 4 times (I haven't gone back to it due to frustration).

    The Mac Mini G4 is fine :) it has an SSD, maxed RAM, a NOS DVD drive and Mac OS 9 installed.
    @SophieRose

    A little trick for using sockets with clocks, the contacts in regular DIP14 sockets (not turned pin ones) pop out really easily if you push from the under side with a pair of needle nose pliers :

    This one I kept 6 contacts because the footprint can take DIP14 or DIP8 clocks.
    @SophieRose @cheesestraws But audio cards, display cards, accelerators up to 50mhz 030 and 16MB RAM, National Instruments GPIO type cards, ethernet cards...

    Plus I prefer snow white styling. Excuse the mouse, I've been using the matching one for so many decades I've worn the tabs off the bottom.
