    A 32-bit PowerPC compute module in 2023?

    What if you could build a 603e-based Power Macintosh computer around existing, new-old-stock PowerPC-based chips that nobody wants any more? Fifteen years ago, in mid-2007, while the first iPhone was making front-page news around the world, Freescale Semiconductor announced the MPC8313...

Both boards are silk-screned with "SA0025" on the PCB, and appear identical, besides the sticker on the 21140 chip itself. For the record, the Apple 10/100 PCI card is...

    Cloning the MicroMac MMXL99 LC-LCII-CC

    Has anyone (@Bolle ?) Looked in to cloning this board? I have one I am willing to sacrifice to the cause.

    Scuznet SCSI to Ethernet Adapter PCB & parts kit

    Finally ran off to Carson City yesterday; 41 LC's later

    Who wants LCs or LC parts?? Eighteen of these are LC III's, eighteen or so are LC II's, and I think I've got four original LCs. Furball not included. If you'd like one, make an offer. Nothing reasonable will be refused. http://www.alexperez.com/photos/CarsonCityMacLCHeist2.JPG
