After spending an hour wasting time trying to make a proper shim tool out of aluminum, I gave up and stuck a bunch of jewelers screwdrivers in the same as above. Removing the third gate successfully rekeyed my N019 to A126. The other gates were already perfectly flush so I kept them. Or, I...

Heck yeah, theory confirmed. When I get some time I'll try my machine as well.

I believe I identified this as an IN8 keyway if you want to try buying a blank or printing one of those. The A126 key for it is some kind of generic cut used in millions of products, so it might be worth it to just re-key to that so you’ll never lose another. 10 keys for $10 on Amazon…

I realized I still haven’t seen a copy of 3.1 for the Thunder II (any/all resolutions). Old eBay listings show it so it was definitely a thing. Anyone have it?

Just in case you happen to have it, I'm looking for N019.

This is adding support for onboard sound -- built-in speaker, and headphones at full volume. USB sound and (quiet) headphone output has worked for awhile. Which aligns with the problem as described: the amplifier is being turned off and needs to be re-enabled. Meaning OS 9 has been playing...

I’m definitely in after I passed it up the first time.

Ah...I stared at that listing a couple times and didn't go for the risk (and...because I too lack a case for it haha). Nice find!

Any idea what the board revs are? I feel like there’s a lot of reports lately about accelerators working in one board but not another and I’m wondering if there’s a specific trend to it.

It does not, in fact, set the duplex bit: This is taken from the Farallon Fast Ethernet FAQ. PN990 is the FastEtherTX-10/100 NuBus Card. As a knock against it, it also claims not to support autonegotiation. On the plus side, I have noted that the AsanteFAST has 128KiB of buffer, so it may...

At least for me, I seem to have gotten a fix down to the following: Start Mission Control Drag your disk to the left pane of the Mission Control window to mount it on the desktop Open the disk that appears on the desktop Drag DiskLink out of Control Panels Drag your disk back to the Rocket pane...

Mine started hanging on startup again, but while it's trying to mount disks at the desktop instead of at the grey screen. It was working yesterday, so I'm going to walk through the changes I made to see if I can track the incompatibility. It's possible it's related to your issue, if you still...

This is the only place ever seen a good set of key pictures, so I tried my hand at measuring the bitting pattern. I don't feel confident in the details of my first pass so I won't post my bitting guesses for now to avoid misleading. But they're definitely 4 position, and somewhere between 4 and...

It almost certainly will work across OS. The caveats have generally been: sometimes a newer OS needs a newer driver, sometimes a newer device needs a newer driver, always be mindful of the 4.3 boundary. There's a doc out there somewhere with the recommended drivers for different machines, but...

Agreed with the above. The later revisions are noticeably shorter and work in more machines.
