In sunny Costa Mesa California. Was gonna try to head down to Infinite Loop till I realized it would be 14 hours round trip 😔

Barring any issues with the PCI bridges on PCI cards in those machines, are those chipset supported by any Mac drivers even? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

My understanding is, without an actual upgraded ROM (solder in the slot if you need to) you CAN NOT bypass the memory test.

I'll have to spelunk my Powerbase's motherboard and see. My Z-force card lets me set the bus speed but it doesn't run at 50Mhz, but getting it to set the ram correctly might just get it booting.

I suppose back in the day, with plentiful more-upgradeable Macs (of that era), people just didn't bother looking too far into it and just assumed those Macs were permanently handicapped by Apple. Just like with the software-based overclocking done on the LC475/Q605 recently.

That's both neat and nice.

Finally got around to hooking the Mac up to the headset. Latency isn't bad, but is noticeable compared to the 165Hz display. Cats might have damaged that display too (this is the third curved display I think they messed up)

Do they allow actually hot-swapping the physical SD card? I know they allow "swapping" the disk images on the sd card. Maybe I'm confused about what he's asking.

Happy to find out that there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my 475, just the VGA adapter. Sad I'm stuck at 640x480 now, though.

News like this makes me happy, but sad too. Sad because Apple nowadays will find a way to block it, just cause. https://9to5mac.com/2024/10/26/youtuber-m1-macbook-ssd-upgradability/

Oh, for me 42-43MHz is plenty and amazing for not having to use spicy-o-clock, particular capacitors, bodge wires, and ecetera. I need to get it recapped at some point, but I probably won't bother replacing the 88920. Amazing gains with it, as is. High resolutions work and it handles all my...

So, basically no matter how high you set your wanted frequency it just tops out at what that 88920 can do? Fiddling around with mine tonight and was testing how high I can get. At 42MHz right now, going by benchmarks compared to my 475 at its "stock" 33MHz and such.

I hope you can turn off all that Apple "Intelligence" AI-junk in the new OSes. Not that I can afford a new Mac right now, but when I do.

That definitely doesn't look stock, most likely modified. It'd be interesting to see what's on the inside.

Remember there's a soft-oveclocking option now. I took my ole LC040 up to 40MHz with it.

I had an instance where it showed it booted at 40 but benchmarks showed it was really only running at 33MHz. This only happened to be me once (the first time I booted up after benchmarking it at 40Mhz). It might have just been an issue with the program/extension thingie. Its since ran at...
