Both - but the heavy lifting job was done by Thomas Rudloff. Zipped from the original CD on a PowerBook G4.

Didn´t see this reply for almost two years. I appologize :-) Attached is the driver - zipped from its original CD on a G4/Alu PowerBook

As one of the original developers of the JoeCard, I will post the driver here…..

Later iMac G4, PowerBook G4 Revisions also Support USB 2.0: Apple Support Docs The intrepid chipset seems to be the defining factor.

Now including the iMac to better get an idea of the size! The Classic´s arms attach magnetically (but i cant find them)

Well, it's actually not 3 printed and was available here in Europe some years ago. I have one of those and one iMac (but can't find the arms) .... let it walk over my Thinkpad .... and it can stand on its own :-)

That would be of interest for me as well

The DEC Bridge Chip causes some Incompatibilities according to my memory (I worked in the clone business in 1996-1998), It’s the same bridge as used in the tsunami revised storm surge board from Supermac/Umax S900. Some cards only work in the upper - means Apple Bandit PCI Controller - slots and...

I shared the ROM dump of my ProNitron GA21with @Bolle today.

@Trash80toHP_Mini I can add this destroyed PM 7100 to the RAF over Germany saga. A german battery was inside "Sonnenschein" (sunshine) looks like as corrosive as the good old maxell ones. Received another PM 7100 with the same battery - not yet leaking but see yourself.

Well done @obsolete ! Back in 1996-2000, when working at a CPU card maker, the L2 was always the issue when trying to reach the 60Mhz barrier. With a G3 or G4 card, this wasńt an issue as you the L2 cache wasń beneficial as a L3 cache. On TNT and Nitro boards, it was recommended to remove it...

Yes it does. Some cards only work within the „simpler“ Tanzania L2 Slot as they can boot directly from there because of the differences in slot design you have outlined above. For Gazelle and Alchemy, a card needs to have a CPLD to do some bus magic to take over the CPU bus after initialization...

In my G4s, some of the newer SATA III SSDs have shown compatibility issues with SATA I mode on SIL based SATA I cards — even though, SATA should be backwards compatible, it depends on the actual drive. I need to check the exact type of drives that run in my G4s and G3s

Looking for TMS 34020s on eBay, you can see them on sale from 70€ (32Mhz) up to 130€ (40Mhz). So, I guess @Bolle is right, they obviously make more money on selling the video controllers on their own than with selling complete graphic cards. I've got my ProNitron GA21 inside a Mac II for less...

@Bolle i will send you a PM to discuss how to extract the ROM
