    Performa 475 Video Ram

    Where / who did you buy that from? It's likely a bad solder joint between a chip leg and the PCB, making poor contact at random times.

    Scheduled Reboot Restart Cron for System 6 and 7?

    ^^ This I had a Hypercard stack script that monitored the time for being after the next triggered event. Something like: if the seconds > nextRestartTime then tell application finder Restart end if Then, when the stack is opened, using on OpenStack I would insert new restart time by taking...

    Scheduled Reboot Restart Cron for System 6 and 7?

    In the old days I used a HyperCard stack that ran in the background as an application. I didn’t (and still don’t) know any other way to do it. Servers in the early 90s were not “reliable” and often benefited from a restart. So it would trigger one at a set time (usually midnight) but sometimes...

    Trying SSDs on Performa 6400, ongoing struggle...

    Could there be a limitation here like with 2GB boot partition, or 8GB or the first 8GB of a drive, type thing?

    Problem with Mercury Electra SSD in beige MiniTower G3?

    What are your read/write speeds? I’m interested to know as I’ve only been able to get 10MB/sec from a PCI SATA card and SATA SSDs.

    Pixel-perfect Mac IIci onboard video on LCD monitor (WIP)

    I don’t understand. Maybe I missed something. You have a 1024x768 LCD monitor right? Wouldn’t the simplest solution be to get a NUBUS video card and output that native resolution?

    Plopping an SSD in a B/W

    You should be fine to daisy chain the power from any other source. And all you need is the IDE cable to motherboard and you should be golden.

    Why not just transfer files and stuff over the network then?

    LC 475 - switch from 68LC040 to the 68040 with FPU, what do I have to consider ?

    The HRC processor should be fine if you choose to operate it at 33mhz with an overclock. It’s supposed to be a high temperature variant, meaning it runs at a lower temperate at stock speeds, apparently. I’d recommend a heatsink though, regardless.

    This is a very cool project, and I hope you get it off the ground. Wishing you lots of luck on it, I hope you succeed!

    Mac Hut is back

    Do you have a mirror of all of these type of Apple tech spec pages? https://support.apple.com/kb/sp232?locale=en_CA At some point Apple will likely discontinue them, and they contain valuable information.

    Problem with Mercury Electra SSD in beige MiniTower G3?

    I believe the limitation on these is that the boot partition has to be within the first 8GB of the disk. So in your case, you would need to partition it with 8GB first, then your remaining partitions. Your system folder/boot volume would need to be on the 8GB one. It's an IDE limitation.

    Beige G3 with PCI SATA card and maxing out at 10MB/sec transfer rates on SSD

    I decided to put a PCI SATA card inside my beige G3 and connect a SATA SSD to it, for reliability, sound levels, and above all, speed. However, I noticed I can only get about 10MB/sec throughput. Either by duplicating on the same disk, or copying between disks. I read the PCI bus on the...

    So you're saying that 4amps on the MeanWell is enough for an original power supply that had 4.75amps?

    Replacement Power Supply in Quadra 605

    I'm just curious about the success of this MeanWell power supply in the LC 475/Q605. The manufacturer rates the 5v at 4.0amps, and the LC475 power supply specs for 4.75a on 5v. Is this a problem?
