    Heatsink Replacement for a 6100?

    Hi Guys, I have been contemplating on moving the Cyrix 5x86 CPU which I am currently using in my 640 DOS Compatible onto the 6100/66's DOS Card. Since the Cyrix CPU requires an interposer which converts the 5V provided by the card's socket to 3.45V which the CPU requires, there would very...

    Source of 1MB L2 Cache Modules for PM 6/7/8100s and others

    Hi Guys, Not sure if you guys have any use for this but I figure it can't hurt to share the information. While most Power Macs these days can or have been upgraded with either a G3 or G4 accelerator containing an exuberant amount of L2 (or even L3) cache on-board generally, in some cases...

    Apple Pro Keyboard (Black) Sticking Keys?

    Hi Guys! So... I was able to get my hands on an "old new stock" - or "new old stock" (whichever) - black Apple Pro USB keyboard in pristine, mint condition. It still had the original shipping material/wrapper when I received it, not a single scratch on it, and has never even been touched. It...

    G4 Cube: Monitor working great under X, woes under 9.2.2

    Hi There, I just wanted to see if anyone has any clue about this particular issue (not so much an issue I guess but annoying nontheless).

    Sonnet Crescendo Performance Decrease?

    Hi Guys, Just another question, this time in regard to my Crescendo G3/500 card. I've noticed in the past couple weeks that when I perform benchmarks my CPU performance rating appears to be dropping especially if used for longer periods of time. Hard to explain, but after initial start I...

    Question Regarding USB 1.1 Cards for the 6500

    Hey Guys, General question here. I've been using a Belkin USB 1.1 (Model: FU5005) in my 6500 based CC more or less successfully over the years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am aware that there were two models types of that card, FU5005 for PC and FU5005-MAC for Macintosh, but...

    General Question Regarding Connectix Speed Doubler

    Hey Guys, I've read on quite a few sites that Connectix Speed Doubler is helping with general file access/write speeds, as well as providing other overall speed and performance improvements. Do you guys have any real experience with this piece of software? What is the last version compatible...

    Liberation of a First Generation PowerMacs

    Hey Guys! I figured I might as well list my recent Mac conquests (thanks Slowpoke)! 1.) Power Macintosh 6100/66: I like the low profile "pizzaboxen" design of this first generation PPC. It's definitively an interesting design. I was able to find an angle adapter and a 4MB Apple HPV card from...
