Posting here, since I don't want to clutter up the main forums with Intel shenanigans. This is for the first-gen Intel Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) So, relative to a trading post thread I created, I discovered I bought some SAS drives and not SATA drives. On top of that they are 4TB drives which, from...

https://powercc.org/takky/ So, I'm going about this in a slightly different way. I'm not going to takky a Colo(u)r Classic, but an Performa/LC 550. 57x logic boards are so sought after and scavved that if I'm going to juice up my abominable Rustic Rat, I may as well go upmarket, so to squeak...

Figured I'd break this out earlier, rather than later. Let's put fake detection methodology, etc in this thread. I'm going to pop in info from the thermals/L88M proofing thread into here, but feel free to add anything I've left out. @Bolle let me know if you have other info on fakes and such...

So, in reference to an earlier post, I'm wondering what options there are. Here's what I said in detail there: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-apple-mac-today.30590/post-432545 Long and short, the flat panel I have will output the desired resolution and refresh...

Wanted to break this out into its own thread from the wonderful discussion happening in the L2 Sonnet thread. Hopefully this can be a catch-all for any other Mac OS Compatible (nee "clone") and other PREP/CHRP discussion. I'll start with the previous post from Coloruser I went down a...

Decided to pull this out of the 3D printed objects thread so I can briefly log the refining process and not further clutter the former. I was not paying attention to grammar... "one point for improvement" might've been better...anyway, it was supposed to be an admission of incompleteness. And...

I've searched a few threads and wanted to make a place for a 'once-and-for-all' declarative thread regarding these final incarnations of the MC68040 CPU. I've read many things and heard many testimonials, but I wanted to definitively understand what people mean. Most of the time, this is what...

I had some questions about oscillator swapping (overclocking) the Centris 650 (modified gestalt ID via on-board resistor), Quadra 650 and Quadra 800 boards. Namely some questions regarding the 'limiting factors' mentioned. So according to Marc on the archived clock chipping page: And then on...

I was wondering if anyone has heard of the case screen printing varied on the same model, or if it changed during its run, or if it's just a one-off error? Not looking at "collector gold" here, just curious more than anything :)   I noticed this on my recently acquired Quadra 700, compared to...

Having already given up on the SIL3112 scenario for my PowerTower, I've been on the lookout for another drive solution. I saw this card come up on eBay, and noticed the verbiage "For Macintosh" and took a gamble that it would play nice with Old World ROM Macs and become a (stable) drive...

Cross-referencing this comment from a different thread, sorry. I'm dealing with some SSD woes, I wanted to circle back on this, specifically, so thought a separate thread was appropriate. I've been going two separate routes with my PCI machines as far as storage so I hope I'm specific when...

I know, we have probably 4 to 5 disparate threads regarding the 2020+ year issue with System 7, but I'm more interested to see if anyone has issues with their clone/MacOS Compatible machines. Thought about making this a thread in PCI PowerMac forum, but it's more software and might extend to...

Maybe it's not new, per se, but I think this is a great DIY solution for the more enterprising among us. Wouldn't have known if not for this vid in my feed.

So ever since we had our family Performa 6218CD, ages ago, one of the things that bugged me about The Even More Incredible Machine was how it displayed. Something about its color scheme seemed very off compared to every other 256 color game I had used: I didn't really know how to distill what I...

So, I'm looking for a little clarity if there is any regarding the compatibility of the L2 version of the Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade. From what I've seen, most all will work on 64/54/65/5500 and similar-arch Macs/clones without issues. The oddballs are the LPX-40/Tanzania-based Macs/clones...

So I'm asking this more as a maintenance type of question thread vs 'I have an emergency' kind of help query, but figured I'd try to get some answers as to why I've been having similar symptoms across a number of optical drive, and why they keep crapping out in the same ways. My drives are...

I'm wondering if there's a way to get a more precise level of information on random system/mouse freezes that don't coincide with a bomb/error message. I saw one of Netfreak's videos where they did that for Copland, using a Powerbook as the dump location for whatever would happen on the...

I've acquired a couple of 9" monochrome CRTs with the intention of transplanting. I've seen it done, but wanted to go through the steps all myself. I'm starting with a used green-phosphor Matsushita CRT that came out of a CNC machine. A little burn-in, but I've got it, so might as well pop...

In an effort to keep this all together, and start with a much more organized topic, here it is:  Compact Desktop Power Supply Capacitor Lists (by make and model) The models tagged, the IIci, IIcx, IIvi, IIvx, Performa 600, Quadra/Centris 650 and Quadra 700 all use the same form-factor PSU...

Apologies, but I searched and didn't see this capacitor list anywhere. Does anyone have it from their own re-cap they'd be willing to share?  If not, I could possibly tear mine down to see what there is. I know for sure the two 470uF 200V caps are a bit bulgy on mine, and figured I'd do the...
