This did end up helping quite a bit. CPU and FP performance came up to match where it was with my Interware installed. The GrandVimage is still a faster solution than RAM-based video, though.

How much memory do miners need? The Mac Classic is capped at 4MB. I’m not sure that what we’re doing here is even possible on a 68000 Mac. Use your hard drive as swap space I guess but now you’ve got to build your own virtual memory paging system. Window dimensions won’t fit a classic Mac’s...

Hmm, never thought of that but it makes sense that if you make the memory configuration mirror the IIsi that the IIsi RAM muncher app would do what it needs to. I'm going to go try that.

If I may add to your data point, I set up my IIci as close to yours as I can - mine has the Apple cache card rather than the Daystar, but it's running 7.0.1. I have 8x1 MB SIMMs installed, so 4MB in both banks. My video card is an Interware GrandVimage 24-16. At 640x480 8-bit color I get a...

Honestly that is less expensive than I expected. I loved reading through your build log. Living vicariously through you as I tinker with much cheaper Macs to get my feet wet in this wild and weird hobby. ETA: I did the Noctua mod in my SE and it was well worth it. The fact it comes with a nice...

They seem pretty legit 6.0.1 disks. And since I didn't update the thread sooner, three of the disks are fine. The System Tools boot disk is damaged so it wouldn't boot off of it.

@JT737 in the time since I made this thread I did get an accelerator. I’ve got the MacEffects Performa. It’s a 16 MHz 030 and it makes the SE fly on System 6. I doubt it’s quite as fast as an SE/30 but it’s a completely different computer now. It totally sated my desire for an SE/30 since I...

At the same time as I posted this thread, I also sent an inquiry to Thomas at Amiga of Rochester, and he said the same thing. This board has never been touched. I popped the fan off the power supply to see that it's never been messed with either. I don't like that it was apparently...

If that's the case I'm going to be super annoyed. I've only just started getting into recapping work myself and have been practicing but I'm not very good yet.

That's what the seller told me, and from the photos I feel like it looks awfully clean. Clean to the touch as well. Also in the photos I saw something looking like a tiny piece of metal bridging a couple pins on UE13. It was just a rogue dust. I wiped it away with my finger and no change.

Hi David thanks for the detailed reply. Attached here are some images up close of the area you mentioned. It all looks very clean and proper to me. Do you see anything that stands out as a potential issue? From your other post it seems like there might not be anything visible.

What am I checking on the power supply?

I got a IIci about a week ago. Supposedly the power supply had been recapped. It was working perfectly until today when I tried to turn it on. Today it just flickers and dies. Here’s a video. Anyone with ideas I’d love to know! I should say I have unplugged everything and replaced the PRAM...

Solution, kinda. I ended up sourcing a new system and I made a "best of both worlds" kind of thing where I took the port covers and best looking case pieces from the old one and transplanted the new one. It works. I'm afraid to put the Cirtech repro back into it. I think I'll just boot off the...

Mac OS Standard (HFS) is required for 8.0 and earlier. 8.1 can boot on a 68040 Mac if the drive is formatted Standard. If you're running 8.0 or 7.x you need Standard, so that's a good option. Otherwise Extended is better because it wastes less space on larger volumes. Not sure when Apple...
