Hey, first off congratulations! You have a solid machine on your hands - and it is understandable that navigating the rapidly evolving mac 90s is a challenge 😆 For games, it's actually pretty capable but marred by some quick and dirty ports. I would suggest checking out anything published by...

You're absolutely right - I was thinking about it in the context of a single thread where it's bad enough, but this attitude is not great for a retrocomputing forum or indeed any interaction with another human being in any situation whatsoever. Makes me wonder what the rest if their life is...

I find it's usually best to just ignore him when he's having one of his conniptions ;)

This is rad as hell! Also seconding the "what if the terrible 68k Mac ports became Actually Good" (looking at you, Wolfenstein and Doom and Hexen) For the dithering, and I'm just spitballing here, but what if the dither parameters were adjusted depending on what part of the level you were in...

I kept one in a IIci-case - it fit fine after some dremeling to make room for the different ports, and got an ATX extender and rearranged the cables. But I've swapped it out for a 7100 board since it fits with the PSU better 😄

I have a simular card from the same company which also has a 68020, but its a NuBus-version. It was sitting in a Quadra 650 - I'll see if I can recover anything from the hard drive.

Nice! Yes, I'll get it taped over - or actually make it part of the 3D print model on the next pass :cool: I don't know which way the Quadra 610-style PSU blows by default, but I have opened this one up to make sure it blows air out, not in, so I think the flow works well even with the current...

Nono I run it with the lid on - I took it off to show the setup! The air comes in from the vent at the bottom under the hard drive bay (there's no plastic mount blocking it there), passes through the hot sandwich and gets sucked out through the PSU which also has a vent (I think I reversed the...

Thank you for the great analysis! 1. The Finder scrolling is me just holding the mouse button down on the "scroll down"-button in the Finder, so maybe that is sent as repeated actions maybe? I don't know how it is implemented! But I must say subjectively at least, the Finder felt a lot faster...

Thank you! And no I don't think its made by Apple, I'm not sure they made them in that size. Here's the front and back - the chip with the missing markings is apparently a switch type 74*257 mux, according to the person who is reverse engineering it:

I wasn't even sure they were even around but last week I found one on eBay and jumped on it! I've run some tests this evening, and I've made arrangements to have it reverse engineered. If everything goes to plan, there should be some open sourced schematics which should allow anyone who wants...

Get whichever one you can 😄 I am biased towards the LC475 - it is objectively the superior machine - but the LC III is also a very solid 68k machine in its own right. Plus many upgrades you make to an LC III will carry straight over to an LC475 if you pick one up in the future. Both use 72pin...

I got lucky and found an EIZO - I think they fit great both in terms of color and industrial design 😄 only issue is they are mostly 5:4 and mine doesn't play nice with the output from my DOS card

Super cool, congratulations! There are some games with unexpected 1-bit support that are worth checking out: Syndicate, Avara, and Loom will all run on a stock SE/30 in 1-bit color and they look amazing 😄

The clips on my 630s face plate came off so I just put two magnets in there to snap it in place - works really well! (please ignore the missing plastics, I'm going to recap the PSU when it stops being -14 outside 😄)
