    SuperMac Thunder II 1152 with GX DSP addon (unresponsive)

    I recently acquired this beautiful card and eagerly pressed it into my Quadra 700 running 8.1, but it won't display an image of any kind on any of the CRT Apple displays I have tried to connect to it. (14" Trinitron M1212, 16" Trinitron, or Applevision 750) I have inspected the card thoroughly...

    Quadra 700 Nubus Expansion Port Cover Question

    Dear Quadra 700 owners. Maybe you could help me clear this up. Which are the correct covers for the expansion slots. (see photo) I see both advertised and they cannot both be correct! Thanks!

    Help for a nubus Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X ROM/firmware upgrade

    Thanks so much. Kind of disappointing news... I was/am not sophisticated enough to know about RAMDAC chips. I thought it would be a 24 bit card up to 1024 or even 1152. I paid $130... probably too much. I really wanted to drive at least 1024 on my M2494 Multiple Scan 17 Trinitron. I...

    Help for a nubus Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X ROM/firmware upgrade

    Hello Phipli, Thanks for your reply. I am humbled by the span of your knowledge, as you have weighed in on many of my questions. But I am confused by some conflicting info I am seeing. 1. in the thread (linked below) a card identical to the one I have is identified as a Pro 24X. 2. If it...

    Help for a nubus Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X ROM/firmware upgrade

    I just bought this card on eBay. (pictured) I was curious if anybody could tell me if it was a 24XK or a Pro 24XK? Also, what is the purpose of the jumper? Thanks so much!

    Quadra 700 Repair - Screwdriver Heatsink Removal Whoops!

    Wow, thanks for taking the time. That's a beauty... and looks like the original, just without the little brackets. I will get one like that. I saw previous posts on this thread suggesting the heatsink might be unnecessary. But I am more comfortable with your suggestion. Thing feels hot to...

    Quadra 700 Repair - Screwdriver Heatsink Removal Whoops!

    Thanks Phipli! I will do so. As a collector and somewhat of a purist, I would love to find the original... much like I would prefer finding the original speaker module rather than mocking up something. But in the meantime, you bet! I will get an Amazon 40mm heatsink and pull an 8ohm speaker...

    Quadra 700 Speaker.. specs?

    Thanks for easing my mind on the impedance issue being in my favor, safety wise. Is polarity critical, should I mock up a speaker from another source?

    Quadra 700 Speaker.. specs?

    My apologies... I was not clear on your earlier response re corner pins. Now I am with you.

    Quadra 700 Repair - Screwdriver Heatsink Removal Whoops!

    If my stock Quadra 700 has no heatsink at all, should I even be too concerned about locating one? Thanks!

    Quadra 700 Speaker.. specs?

    Oh, and here are clippings from a Quadra 700 take down video I found on Youtube. It shows just two wires going to that 3-terminal plug. Perhaps someone with a Quadra 700 could tell me which of the 3 board pins is not used. Please let me know if anyone has a Quadra 700 speaker they wish to...

    Quadra 700 Speaker.. specs?

    I really appreciate everyones's input. I was about to buy a IIci speaker module on eBay, but I paused to research when I noticed a 2-pin plug in the photo... compared to a 3-pin connection on my Quadra 700 logic board. (logic board comparison photos attached). I was confused by this and...

    Quadra 700 Speaker.. specs?

    Hello Tarantulas. Did you ever figure this out? I am looking for a speaker assembly my Quadra 700. I bought it used and the whole assembly is missing. I see several assemblies on eBay and they always say for IIci, IIcx and Q700. But my Q700 board has 3 pins, and the plugs on the advertised...
