Super cool, just picked one up

Here is the STL file on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5969342

Made a v2 but have to wait 24 hours to publish it on thingiverse. I'll post the link tomorrow. Just added a thin layer to the bottom. This is to prevent the power leads on the board from grounding out if by some odd chance the board flexed enough during install/removal when the machine was on.

I had the same molex and mounting issues when I wanted to install the ide adapter in my 6360 so I drew up and printed a custom bracket that just barely fits without stressing the power wires. I'll see if i can dig up the stl file and post it here.

That's looking really good!

Oh and it's actually referenced in the Apple repair manual: https://www.applerepairmanuals.com/the_manuals_are_in_here/Performa_PM_6400_6500.pdf

Interesting! I have a 6500/275 Creative Studio Edition and the video out card is populating one of the PCI slots. The card in question appears to be the same as this unit from Focus Enhancements that connects to the video out slot. http://www.jax184.com/projects/Performa/Performa.html

Happy Independence Day to all in the states! Quicktake 150, high quality, no flash and about a mile away from the show.

I did a bit of testing using the following setup: Server: Beige G3 desktop running 9.2.2 Client: Power Mac 5200/75 running 7.5.3 Transfer: Folder 7.6MB containing 4 files. Results below. I'm pretty happy with the overall performance. Repeated the tests a few times under different wifi...

It all makes sense now! Got the chooser extension added, works like a charm, phonenet adapters work fine too. Awesome work on this project, Airtalk is such a cool device.

Funny, before I even plugged these in I searched for the extension only to come up with nothing. I've read this entire thread and can't find any references to it. Everything I've read suggest it's plug and play. Is there a chooser extension and I'm just completely missing it??

Thanks for the suggestion. Both machines I'm using have the the printer port set under the appletalk or network control panel, which is the physical serial port im using on both, so it all appears correct. Airtalk is currently configured and working on both but neither list it in the chooser...

Bought a few of these and had some time to test this week... but apparently all the serial cables I have are straight through, as I tested them and they don't successfully connect two macs over localtalk or work with Airtalk. I did have a few sets of phonenet adapters which worked fine to...

I'm very worried for you. I had a 5200 shipped from a few states away and the seller was amazing. He packed it up extremely well with layers upon layers of bubble wrap, double boxed, corner protection, just top notch... even after all that it still arrived cracked in a few places. But I...

This is so cool, count me in for a handful of these.

Hey have you had any luck with this? If not, may I suggest trying to enable anonymous access to the share as a test on the NAS if possible? This resource I found suggests that older Mac OS may not support authentication protocols present in later versions of AFP...

Thanks for the write up on this. I have a few 5300ce's and while I haven't had any power issues like these (yet) it's nice to know what to look out for. Glad you were able to get all the issues fixed!

I'm in the process of restoring a 7100/66 and saw this thread with the recommendation to address the CPU paste. Glad I did because this is what I found: Paste was a powder and flaked off. If anything it was inhibiting heat transfer. You can even see a slight discoloration of the die...

Cool! I'll take 1 assembled and 1 kit.  If you are sharing the stl file I'll just print my own cases.  Excited to try these out!

I've never heard of the upside down can method, that's neat. Similarly when troubleshooting automotive vacuum leaks, you can spray brake parts cleaner around intake components and if the engine chokes you have found an area where a gasket or other component is leaking.  I had no idea there was...
