It should fit, I put a 7100 board in a IIci case and it works great, lines up with the PSU and everything. You need to dremel some room in the back for ports though, since they are different between the IIcx/i and the Q650/700. You can even trim the plastic around the lock tab (circled in pink)...

Ha that's right! Hope the Adjustable Keyboard and the HPV card is still working - I hadn't recapped it iirc 😅 I saw a PCI firewire card btw which should work? seemed reasonable - https://www.finn.no/recommerce/forsale/item/454291512

The G4 QS boots OS9 natively as well, so you don't have to use OSX if you don't want to 😄

System 7.6.1 with Speed Doubler runs really fast even on the PPC 601. Absolutely worth giving it a whirl even if you don't stick with it, it's got that 'classic' look - plus System Picker makes it easy to choose between multiple system installs if you want to switch. The iMac G3 is like the...

I have a 5400 board, and the macdat image matches the one I have. However, mine does not have the set of empty pads between the marked capacitor and the big chip on the bottom, that area is just empty on my board, and my reference numbering is slightly different. So there may be multiple...

Oof, that's a rough plastic period for sure! I don't have many machines from that period (partially for this exact reason), I have had ok success with hitting the plastic with a hair dryer for a bit to soften them up - just don't overdo it! But you really do want to keep the fiddling to a...

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...
