My first thought about such motherboards is whether there is a battery in situ, and, if so, has it shed its load?

I don't know about current but I picked up an Oki 321dn before the pandemic and I can print from my Mac OS 9 macs on it. I haven't tried my G5 on it yet but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. It is a colour 600dpi printer and prints A4 (and, I suppose US-Letter).

For example, https://www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/pcix1pex4?srsltid=AfmBOoqzvbi73YXOlr4BUPGUkFmTZ1UxKQIjqfo_3Fbe71wJtW0CNx-C I'm new to the G5 and PCI-X. I suspect that these adapters are no really available and probably a healthy price when they occasionally appear on eBay. Or are...

Let me commend you. This is very decent of you.

(message deleted) I should install drivers and see if that makes a difference.

Does the bus-speed make the PB540c noticeably slow? Try running Marathon and see how that goes.

I have a Powermac G5 2.0Ghz DP (Mid 2004) that I'd like to start using. From what I have seen online, these things seem to die at astonishing rate, mostly from heat-death. I don't really know what it will be used for as of yet, probably gaming. It is my PPC Mac OS X machine. It stands in a...

I write SQL for a living (which is sort of code) and while I often find LLM-generated SQL impressive, you really need to know what the right answer is, because otherwise you can't judge how useful or correct the generated SQL is. I have thought that LLMs might be great for someone who is...

Have you tried this? https://www.macintoshrepository.org/20657-matrox-rtmac

Be warned, the power supplies on MDDs have not all aged well. Both of my MDDs have failed power supplies. As for your question, is it primarily a Mac OS 9 machine, a Mac OS X machine or both? As for accelerators, 1200MHz are fast for Mac OS 9 and while 1400MHz processors, they aren't that much...

This great. I noticed aftwerwards that you had posted the ROM. Thanks for that.

Hi @joevt, I don't fully understand what you have posted. I shall have to go read up on ndrvs. If what you say is correct though, then this compressed version of the ROM should easily fit onto the 64KB ROM on my X850 Pro and the EEPROM will not need to be removed. Thanks everyone for your...

I can't answer your exact question. A lot of these SATA cards came out after Mac OS 9 had officially ended. It would not surprise me that Mac OS 9 support was nice to have but not essential. I do have an old point to raise with regard to cards in general. A lot of these cards are getting on in...

1024 * 1024 bits / 8 = 128 * 1024 bytes = 128KB. Meh. I should know this. Thanks for the reminder.
