So if this is something you intend to try and keep up all the time, the best bet is to either dedicate a domain to it, or use a subdomain to point to it since it seems like you're using the main domain with another modern website (presumably hosted on a VPS or something somewhere and not your...

Good to know. Always worth confirming everything in any guide on your board anyway. Apple likes revisions and likes to change things.

It's been a bit now and my memory is terrible... but I _think_ it was booting to a solid screen and not going any further...

I was having issues with it refusing to boot after I added a third expansion card. Caps may not necessarily have been the issue since CUDA is so finicky on these machines sometimes, but everything is working fine since the re-cap and fighting CUDA. No idea on the values of the cap and resistor...

Ooh Icons... I've been slowly passively collecting some lately because I miss all the fun I had with them growing up. I've considered trying to find a way to catalog them visually to a website without having to manually open them all and screenshot/crop to put on the web...

I have similar issues on my Dell Ultrasharps when the signal sent to the monitor is higher than it's max refresh rate (it's only 60hz) from my GrandVImage card. I'd check what refresh rate you're feeding the monitor at those resolutions. Might be more than 75? or maybe just between 60 and 75...

Hmm I'll have to play with the controls manually. I use the auto generally which seems to mostly work. I don't get flicker or lines, it just makes it washed out and gray at the higher refreshes for me.

Huh I'll have to mess with it more. I was using it with a Dell LCD, so I had to fidget around with the "monitor" a lot to get something that worked well on my LCD. I never could get a good 1024x768 resolution because it'd be all washed out seemingly because it was pushing too high a refresh rate...

There's also NUBUS and LC versions of these cards in similar configurations. I have the 24-16 NUBUS card, but haven't actually seen an LC one before. I've had issues with my NUBUS card chronicled here. Neat cards for sure for general desktop use. Requires a reboot for resolution switching which...

Submersing board is a poor idea as others have said. You'd trap water inside the alps switches and corrode the contacts and have a very much less useful keyboard. I do hear about people doing this sort of thing (and recommending it) but IMO it's a horrible idea. If it's just normal dust and...

Interesting, I just checked, I have the same StarTech and SinLoon. Neither of them worked in my beige G3 systems. I can't recall if I tested in my 6400 or Q630 though. I have a second of one or the other which is in my G4 cube and working fine there. I was using the Kingston SSDs.

Ahh apparently there's even someone selling them with only 4 pins for oscillators already on amazon for about the same price... might pick them up for when I do my Q700 in case I run into issues over there.

Might have been ideal, but I didn't know where to start trying to find the socket and didn't expect problems only going to 25mhz. Maybe I'll find a different riser at some point that it works with as well.

Interesting, I'd be interested to know which one if you had good results. I tried three different adapters (two were the same make) and they all had issues in newer machines than a 630. I believe I tried one (or an IDE to mSATA adapter?) in my crumbling 630 and had no luck at all.

It actually felt pretty zippy to me comparatively with the overclock. And I'd already tossed the other oscillator and was worried I'd burned one of the pads. Those things, especially the legs on the ground plane, are not easy to get out/clear the vias. I have another IIsi with a damaged logic...
