DeclROM Spelunking Tools
a.k.a. "How can I find out what this . . .
. . . is? HowTo"
See these threads for "HowTo" instructions:

SYNOPSIS:
Run TattleTech with it installed in a working Mac and post the NuBus/PDS report along with the card's connector details.

Slot Info
I found a link for info on
Newer Technology's freeware Gauge Series.
Of course, it goes without saying that
~gamba2 would have a download link for the
Slot Info module from the
Gauge Series, but if somebody wanted to track down and post download links for both (all?) versions of the full series . . .
"newer technology" + gauge
"newer technology" + "gauge series"

* I've typed advice for running TattleTech to determine an expansion card's identity . . . well . . . enough times already now, both here and over on 'fritter, to realize there's a need for a DeclROM Spelunking HowTo This needs to be done as:
"who can tell me what this strange expans . . . ?"
has reached FAQ status, IMHO, and I'm too laz . . . erm . . . whatever . . .
Feel free to put one together for the MLA's Website, Hacks Forum, a post here in the LinksProj, or even as content for your own site. Just link to your HowTo here and over on'fritter.

This is a link to a section of the
The PC Guide, that I have just checked out briefly. That said, just the illustrated capacity/timeline history of the HDD alone, is well worth the price of admission (FREE!) and a mention in the Links Project, but check out the RAID configuration guide!
Dang! :O . . . wish were Mac sites this good. :/

Wohoo! Looks like
the room of Duo has had a nice update, there are several more illustrated HowTos than I recall from the last time I visited.
For those who haven't been to this wonderful .jp site, GO THERE! It's the best PowerBook Duo hack site I know about.
If you know of any Duo info sites (or any other good ones about anything even peripherally MLA related or even just generally interesting) not listed here yet, please post links. This was intended as a cooperative operatioon for comrades in all branches of the ML:A, not a personal favorites listing!

Description: PowerBook Large Replanni
Amazon.jp offerings
found at:
PowerBook Army/Phenix
Another one:
DuoBasics

This site is pretty interesting:
http://macdan.n3.net/.
The admin is "Dan K" from the Low End Mac PowerBooks list and the AF forum.
The site has some good stuff - including info about getting OS 8.5-9.1 on PPC upgarded 68ks and a whole heap of info about hacking expansion bay modules...
