@Phipli Thanks!. I took a chance on a really cheap card while I had some spare money. Gotta look into changing it out.

And now for something different... Hackintosh hardware issue out of nowhere. Im thinking my power supply might be in the middle of biting-the-dust.

Welp, time to solder in some new caps on my Mustangs spare ECU. I dont feel like paying around 500 for a working one if it bites the dust.

When Apple was thinking of the next gen os (Copland, etc.) I wonder if they thought of using AUX and modernizing it.

7200s case arrived today. Its... a little beat up but serviceable. Never had an Outrigger case before. One of Apples more intelligently designed cases, but still brittle plastic though.

Finally got the adapters to use my SATA-only ATX powersupply but still waiting on the 20-pin adapter.

This is the first time since using CRTs (75Hz) that I've ran a display at something other than 60Hz. 165Hz is so nice on my hackintosh.

I'm figuring its my cheapo 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that dont work. The drives power ul but never show on the scsi bus.

Used my Powerbase to wipe my 460s old scsi drive to drop a copy of 9.1 on there. I know my two 128MB DIMMs work now.

Does 8.6 have a smaller memory footprint than 9.1?

I truly hate whoever designed the 8500 case. I cant imagine the mind of someone who looked at it and said "Yep, thats how you make a case".

Got a hold of the 18GB Cheetah 68pin drive to use in my 8500

My short lived idea of using a 5 pci riser from a Starmax died. I had hoped Tanzania boards all used the same slot, for some reason.
