it would be cool to have an LC or LC II with dual floppy drives and a SCSI to SD internally mounted.  I'd do it, but I don't bother with floppies, just hard drive and network

I am in the Philippines, and have lots of these old Mac networking gear, so if you are in country and need some old networking stuff, send me a message here

Hi, I have several of these and have successfully used them with various classic Macs. It is a SERIAL to Ethernet Adaptor, like modern USB to Ethernet Adaptors. It runs at around 900kbps (if the serial port supports high-speed mode, 030 Macs do). I've used it with PB Duos, Powerbooks, Classic...

there's manual here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320496.pdf and a driver here: http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/5458/en/#toc4 the hard part is getting a cable to use it with... I have one of these cards, but have never used them. Seems simpler to get a raspberry and use its GPIO.

And I have a 7100 that came from the Genentech Clean Room. It has Genentech engraved on the case and it was shockingly clean for a 10 year old machine (when I bought it). It's less clean now.

Move the stuff on the 7300 to the 7200. then, you'll have a free 7300 that you can upgrade. there are also plenty of Beige G3 boards around, that with minimal hacking, will fit into the 7200s case.

You could make it a hard drive case, or stick a mini ATX board in it/

Just use Audion instead. Much less heavy, and it's freeware now. Other lighter MP3 players are reviewed here: http://www.applelinks.com/mooresviews/players.shtml Some of the players mentioned can be hard to find.

Have you checked your RAM speed? The 840AV requires 60ns RAM, most other quadras get by with 70ns RAM. Your RAM could be failing.

I would suggest another Quadra 650 or a Quadra 605 with an Ethernet card.

Aside from the 6200s design issues, overclocking older motherboards tened to lead to their earlier demise. It's not so much the processor, which simply shuts down whenn excessively overclocked, but the capacitors on the board which leak before their time (actually most of thsoe macs are already...

Go for 9.22 with the patch kit from http://www.os9forever.com The Max RAM for that machine is 256 MB with two pieces of hard to find 128MB EDO RAM. The 6500 can take advantage of EDO. A fast IDE hard drive will help speed things up a bit. Heck you could even use a flash hard drive. With two...

The earlier posts are correct: There is no Apple Desktop Bus controller in a Mac Plus. It's a serial controller that only works with keyboards complying with Apple's serial keyboard protocol. Datadesk's Mac101E keyboard has both an ADB and serial port. I have one of these and have used it...

It's interesting how he was able to re-use the IIci's Power supply for the G3 motherboard.

That motherboard will fit perfectly in a 6200 or 6360 case. You'll need to use a single PCI riser instead of the dualie that it came with. Unlike the 6400, the 6500 board doesn't need a power supply modification to function in the 6360 case as there's a 3.3V regulator on board.

IIRC there is an extension you'll have to find that fixes that issue of Sound being out of Sync with Video on non-Performa Power Macs. There's also another extension that you need if you're using a PCI IDE card. Try searching for "AV PCI Mac Sync Extension"

It might be possible if you'd write a new enabler extension that would be smart enough to know which instructions to send to each processor. You'd have to be a really smart software engineer to do that and I would think the odds of that happening are probably higher in PPC Linux than the Mac OS.

It was Strata VideoShop, then it became Avid Video Shop, improved a little bit, then bundled with the Avid Video Kit for Performa 6400/6500 and their AIO kin. Version 3.0 is FREEWARE! Woohoo!!! It's supposed to have a VideoShop PowerPlug for use with PPC Macs. It's a library of PPC routines...

I'm not too sure about that. The first time I laid my hands on an Intel Mac I was amazed by how snappy the OS was. Remember the Mach Kernel and BSD core were built for x86. Steve said so himself. Running it on PPC was the hack.
