Sure, would be a path. But doing this right is not a 5min job, as HF signals need proper shielding. And I need a pinout, which I have only found for TPDs, but not FPDs.
Any other sources than eBay known (where these are unobtainium or very expensive)?
I've got 4 Portrait screens, a few matching 68k-Macs, but no cables.
The open source drivers for the early Realteks are quite opiniated about its lack of (API) quality, and that these cards put quite a bit of burden on the CPU.
Besides the rather demanding RTL8139, what other Gigabit options are there with driver support?
And are there any PCI Token Ring cards that are supported?
That would provide some clarity for a proof-of-concept, absolutely.
To be honest, I doubt that it’s really worth it beyond gaining some knowledge, the path towards the goal would be the goal for me, because the tool the OP asked for is either incredibly inprecise, or super narrow focussed, or...
All (MacTCP) Ping applications that I know hang (for a while) if there’s an error besides the target isn’t answering. Is this just sloppy programming, or is MacTCP’s routines hanging here in time-outs? If so, such an extension could make things worse :)
There are plenty of PPP/(C)SLIP monitor control panels or extensions (you can find these on info-mac mirrors). For wired LAN connectivity there’s not really "online" or "offline", as with PPP. There’s "cable plugged in and link established", but I’ve never seen software for Mac OS for this.
When...
I’m not questioning the rough results in judging the 060 vs. the 040, but above is a bit vague and comparing apples and peaches: different OSses under the benchmark (with potentially different cache or locking behaviour), and very different compilers. This adds quite a range of outcome-variety...
Hi,
is there a IIci cache card re-creation out there, perhaps even with more than 32 KB L2 cache, but 128 KB (existed from 3rd parties back then) or -gasp- more?
