Hey all,
I've nearly maxed out the RAM (64 MB or $40 at a time) on the Q950 I acquired a few months ago and had a spare key made just in case I broke the only one off in the lock.
So a few scattered questions since I'm currently at a standstill on upgrades.
Other than that, I swear I'm enjoying it
Thanks!
I've nearly maxed out the RAM (64 MB or $40 at a time) on the Q950 I acquired a few months ago and had a spare key made just in case I broke the only one off in the lock.
- I added a SCSI2SD with A/UX 3.1.1, 7.6, 8.1, Apps and Backup partitions.
- I've added a SuperMac Spectrum/24 Nubus card (with the DSP daughtercard but also a v1.0 ROM I believe) and the Apple SONIC Ethernet Nubus card (AAUI) with the dedicated 68000 to improve file server performance.
- I have an AppleCD 300e external SCSI (1x) that lines up beautifully with the front bezels.
- I came across a Newer Technology Variable Speed Overdrive (2 of them, actually) with the SIMMs and clips but I stupidly assumed this model (for Q700/900) would work on my 950 with the 25 MHz crystal, before I understood how oscillators work. So these VSOs are useless to me (unless I keep one for a future Q700 buy)
So a few scattered questions since I'm currently at a standstill on upgrades.
- Does anyone have a BMOW/DougG3 ROM for the Q950? I saw a .rom for the 900 but it was just to disable RAM check - which would be fine on its own but I wanted to boot from the ROM disk. I'll buy the programmer, I'm just surprised it hasn't been tried out AND shouted from the rooftops by now.
- Anyone have a PPC 601 they want to sell?
- Or anything else I would want to pimp this beast out? I know Pisces/AWS95 PDS cards, JackHammers, Radius Rockets, etc are extremely rare and impossible to stumble upon.
- Would love to get my hands on drive bezels (like everyone else) so I can put in a DDS-2 drive...
Other than that, I swear I'm enjoying it
Thanks!
