There was a Mac OS 9 application called "Throughput" that tested the throughput to the PCI bus. I don't remember, I think it copied from RAM to VRAM and benchmarked the copy speed. Can anyone find a copy of it, please? The file name maybe "Throughput.sit" if you want to search your old drives...

So today we are going to investigate to see if we can flash a PC Voodoo4 or Voodoo 5 to a Macintosh card suitable for PowerPC PCI systems. I don't own a Voodoo4/5 card and the retro computing realm for the PC has made them prohibitively expensive for me, but if you have such a card and you...

So I have a PowerMac 9600 that has a ROM slot, presumably if Apple ever wanted to update the 4MB Boot ROM for these machines and the other Old World Mac's that had the ROM Slot they just needed a ROM Upgrade SIMM. It looks like the Beige G3 ROM SIMM is Pin compatible, so maybe someone that has...

Just received shipment of a brand new old stock Sonnet G4 Crescendo PCI upgrade card for my PowerMac 9600, still in the factory shrink wrap. It's the later revision as it has the 50Mhz fixed frequency oscillator to set the bus speed to 50Mhz. Sonnet used a 45Mhz oscillator for compatibility...

Were there any PCI IDE cards that supported ATAPI drives in these old PCI Macs?

I snagged a Powermac 9600/300 and a Powermac G3/266 in the original boxes with a ton of boxed software including Photoshop 4.0 and QuarkX. Machines are as near mint as one can expect for hardware this old, pictures coming, very little to no yellowing. I've really been looking to add these two...

I had a few LCII and LCIII back in the day, and I'm sure I tested more than one drive on the internal 50pin SCSI bus, but I can't remember if it worked?

I normally don't check my local craigslist, but I've been looking for another Quicksilver to do a PC conversion with my son this summer. Only PowerMac listed was an iMac G3 Blueberry "PowerMac". I was thinking that he just didn't know what to call the iMac, so I almost didn't click on the ad...
