    Quadra 605 40 MHz upgrade

    My Quadra 605 is running at the factory speed of 25 MHz. I did put in a 33MHz 68040 but have never bumped up the speed.  I recently bought a 68040 40MHz cpu and I'm getting ready to bump up the speed. IIRC the 605 doesn't handle 40MHz very well.  What's the fastest I can run it in a Q605 and...

    400K floppies & My Q605 - Solved!

    My Quadra 605 boots System 7.5.5 and 8.1. Went to make a 400k disk and found out while I can *READ* them I can not *CREATE* them (ie format them). I know I can make 400k floppies from an image but I want to make custom 400k disks with various files on them for my 128k Mac. Crap. Thought I...

    68 PIN VRAM Spec

    Does anyone have the Apple 68 pin VRAM pinout specs for a Qudra 605, 700 etc? How many memory address lines are there? They came in 256K & 521K sizes. Since the largest size VRAM that I've seen is 512K that implies 19 adress lines but I was wondering if the 20th line was there, allowing 1...

    So I'm getting my Quadra 605 back running. Everything is ok EXCEPT for Ethernet. I have an LC III PDS Asante Ethernet card installed. Ran the latest Asante installer no issues. Asante diagnostics say the card is fine. I get no blinky lights on the card or at the hub. I set AppleTalk to...

    New Use for Qudra 605

    I found a new use for my Qudra 605. I recently bought a mid-90's Akai S2000 sampler for my studio. I needed to build an external SCSI cas to hold a CD-ROM, ZIP, and 500mb hard drive. I used SCSI Prob 3.5 to verify that the SCSI devices were set on the prober IDs - 5 for the hard drive, 4 for...

    Mac Plus Memory Mods

    We all know that the Mac Plus will boot with 512K, 1 meg, 2.5 meg, or 4 megs of RAM. How about 256K or 128K? If I took a couple of 256 K 30 pin sims and cut the high address line, will it cut the memory seen in half? In otherwords, can I mod a 256K SIM to get 128K or 64K of RAM? If so, then...

    What is the model number for the old Apple SCSI case shown in this video: When was the drive introduced? What was the original capacity? When was it discontinued? Looks like he put a USB or Firewire drive in the case. Thanks!
