Check the A1 guy. He has a lot of older stuff. Because it's second hand, I'd recommend ordering a spare. I tend to do that with my machines, wrap it in anti-static and tape it inside the system. Old habit. :)

I'm extremely excited about this Joe! Thank you for your hard work. Can't wait to throw money at you for a couple. Mostly I'm just compiling stuff, so a little boring but it'd really benefit from it. Please add me to the list when you do a prod run. Wonderful work! 🥰

Yeah. I don't want to bag him out, but I purchased 6 dimms that were all "3.3v", 3 worked (jackpot) and three were actually 5v when I pulled up the datasheet on the IC's. I'm not complaining though because I deliberately hedged my bets 2-ways with this project and will probably use the others...

*Nod* It was my first purchase from A1. Orbii on IRC told me to try him. PITA++ payment options and his shipping calculations are completely whack with the whole "this is the excessive shipping amount" ..then you get a refund of the difference. ah well! :) At least it arrived within a week...

I just did some 3.3v dimms from A1 computers (see post). They may also have what you're looking for :) I didn't know the 7600 was a 3.3v oddball. TIL. :) Hope you get it working! Post some photo's when you do so others can search for the same DIMM's etc. Kind Regards.

It'd seem you're correct. I can get USB2 signalling, but can't for the life of me get it rocking past 12Mbps. Works beautifully but is slow. :( Jiggered around significantly with several cards.

You could try an old SUN Microsystems XVR-100 video card then flash it. I've just gone this route with my 4400/160. Does work pretty nicely. Need to disconnect the primary monitor, it will sense something there and not go to it. Does work quite well and is noticably faster/more snappierah...

So! 50% glorious success. Half the memory I purchased that was apparently 3.3v was not. The other half operates at 3.3v nicely. 160mb tests fine. I've made a little app in Symantec C++ that allocates as much ram as it can, fills it will silly characters and tests. Seems good. Quite happy...

I've just got one working in MacOS8.6 in my 4400/160 after a lot of jiggery pokery, forehead slapping and some colourful metaphors. Hope the device ID's help. Speed wise it's charging at EHCI and correctly configuring USB2 stuff but it's staying in 12Mbps mode. I plan to have another hack...

I've purchased some RAM. I took a punt with two different ones that have chips that the datasheet says 'should' work. I shall report back if they do.

Thank you. I was looking for the confirmation :)

I wouldn't mind playing with this maybe this weekend and see if I can get it to work on Symantec C++ which is where I've been a lot. MacTCP support is great but it'd be good if we could do an abstraction for OT on 7.1. I've seen a fair few people playing in this space. Nice one.

<opinions_solicited> Hello all. I wanted to ask a couple of questions. I'll put them first then the story later.. 1) Anyone know if 5v 168pin EDO will work in a 4400/160? I've seen that it's 3.3v only. 2) Anyone know where I can source 2x 64mb DIMM's to go in mine? I've got mine dug out and...

@tcole: I am not surprised. Didn't know that. I spent a lot of time on The BeOS back in the day. I still feel it would've been a great choice. So many "What-if's"

Hi Guys, This is something I've been researching on and off for a few years. Much as I can tell from a few sites and books: 1) Pink prototypes were running around the apple labs for a while and people seemed excited with it and developed experimental software for it. ~1988/1989 timeframe...
