That makes enough sense. I just checked and luckily enough the Geforce I've got installed in the AGP slot actually has an ADC input. I have so many VGA monitors laying around I never bothered to see what else was on the backs of these... Picking up a G3/G4 era CRT Studio Display (21" I believe)...

I have a Sawtooth G4 with a Geforce 4MX AGP graphics card, which has been working without issue. I also have a PCI graphics card from AMD, which I had purchased for another project which ultimately was unsuccessful (machine I was working on completely died). I attached the PCI card to my G4...

Dang. I've only run into a few things where I didn't have enough RAM. It would be nice to run them on the SE but I have other machines for that.

Just to confirm since I'm curious- the accelerator itself has RAM slots? I have a Performer 030 in my SE and it would be very nice if this meant I now could put, say 4x 4Mb SIMMS in the existing RAM slots but that doesn't make any sense. Figured I'd ask.

Very happy that this is just how the particular board works and not that I just am missing something basic in how to use it. I bought it a few years ago and haven't switched it out because I didn't need to do much with the SE beyond installing something via FloppyEMU once in a blue moon, so...

This may have been discussed before- I have 3 ZuluSCSIs - 2 RP2040s installed in laptops and 1 v6.4 rev 2024 in an SE (the one that fell off my bench last time I was working on it). The RP2040s allow me to transfer .hda files made in most emulators and more recently using tools like InfiniteMac...

Figured either that or just replacing it with a screw cap cover from Alibaba. Hoped someone would have a link to somewhere that'll match the color but I can probably find something.

I noticed this afternoon that one of the rubberized covers placed over the bezel screws on my 170 is missing. Beyond parts machines does anyone have a decent source for replacing those?

Fair. It's almost certainly a LiFePO4 then since no changes were made to the board to permit charging.

Not sure how appearance has an impact. I got it from @kastegir last summer.

It was purchased from somebody else on the forum, pretty sure the battery rebuilds for these are custom assembled. Really more a question dependent on the battery chemistry than the battery itself.

One of the common retrofits in Portables is replacing the godawful and usually long-dead lead acid battery with either a purpose-built Li-Ion battery if you want to preserve its portability as a luggable, or a bank of capacitors if you just plan to operate it while plugged into a wall.

Hi! I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere but I have a Portable sporting the modernized lithium ion battery. I know the Portable has some parasitic drain since it doesn't truly turn off and wanted to maximize the service life of its new battery. Do we have any documentation on...

Perfect!

Going to necro this post with an additional question. I have a ROM 1 IIGS and am experiencing this exact problem. Would I be able to bypass the hardware failure by running 3.5" drives, smartports, and/or a Floppy EMU through a Yellowstone card or a similar solution in slot 05 to act in place of...
