I know adaptec was likely thinking of the towers (which obviously are quite different boards in their own rights of course) when they sold their macintosh pci cards but nevertheless it seem like the datasheets for a few different 2900-series all explicitly mention native bootability as far as...

@GerrySch don't mind me adding this reply four months later if thats ok .. regarding your M1, I'm not sure if this would actually apply to your problem but the issue is that apple dropped hfs support for good in catalina (before that there was limited read-only support on like I think between...

ah hm I had thoughtfully tried a few keywords but I somehow still managed to miss that particular thread, thanks for that particular link still! and hmmm might have to think a bit about my 'springtime' project idea then..will see what I say tho..

joevt I was thinking specifically of the 6400 and 6500 in general (if you want to mention about the 6360 too then thats fine as its a pci model after all)

I see the meaning now, thanks for your reply obsolete

just asking in general for now but are these systems normally only booting from the onboard scsi without keyboard interaction or if one was willing to bypass the wiring harness itself then could one had natively boot the sole internal hdd from a fastscsi or ultrascsi pci card instead of via the...

just have to wonder (and create a separate thread for that in case this one becomes less than very short you know) but.. in here https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/found-the-50mhz-bus-switch-on-alchemy-5400-6400.48873/page-3#post-551933 is specifically mentioned "The 6500/Gazelle logic board's...

hmm I do wonder if any video software ever supported dual cpu pre-osx or not as for the cpu upgrade don't mind if I'll again refer to earlier discussions, its a bit pointless neutering a 9600mp that way rather than saving the cpu upgrade for a vanilla 9600 instead

byrd won't a g3 basically neuter it from a 9600mp into just being a 9600 otherwise? and..herd it appears that '200dp' is mentioned in the netbsd/macppc list although whatever actually support it has is not noted tho

well..rather than games..how about the few things that did actually try use the second cpu? so basically graphic rendering (and even certain versions of photoshop does count too as far as I recall) you could try have some fun with in fact since you can easily revert to the 'historically...

@Durosity yeah its almost a very typical case of "I didn't do anything!" lie that seemingly a lot of people do (and thankfully as even some reddit tech tales have backed this up with: some techs are smart enough to keep logging of everything plus implenting per-user security measures and easily...

I'll let you decide about the 'ether' part for yourself here

oh hm didn't think of that 'mc' was short for maccon .. well geeze thanks .. bit tired after long day here but I'll have a look at finding more about maccon later in the week nevertheless so thanks!

only found a few auctions online but they don't even say much beyond "heres an asante pds card" alone basically.. just wondering about a bit more basic details of what this card is its 'asante tech inc (c) 1993 mclc rev.a' silkscreening, and the eeprom sticker says 'mcilc' followed by...

durosity, to our own possibly-hot personal opinion here but funny enough I always thought its use was sometimes somewhat backward re that the small laptop got almost nothing useful and as usual no means to add it either, while the large counterpart had too many ports of all type all over it yet...
