The lack of OSHW FPGA tools is mostly why I've shied away from FPGA development. I just don't want to do it on a PC/Windows. I understand Tang Nano has OSHW tools? @Melkhior does this mean your FPGA Sparc is on hold?

Hi @croissantking, Thanks for the reply! Yes, in AppleTalk it appeared as Alternate Ethernet. Couldn't see any reference to it in TCP/IP. I saw the Connect Card appear on the desktop. I found a crossover cable to replace the previous, thru cable. I'm using my B&W G3 350 under Mac OS 9.1 (the...

I have a sonic ConnectCard for my PB1400c/166 and I've installed drivers, but I haven't managed to prove it can work yet: maybe I need a crossover ethernet cable? Also I'm using Mac OS 8.1. -cheers from Julz

Hi folks, Thanks for the replies. So you're saying that the screw studs are soldered, but there's nothing below the studs on the PCB, so you can drill through it; put a screw underneath (e.g. 2mm) poking up through the PCB and then use a spring+nut to hold it in place like the previous one...

I have thought about that, but the screw is only about 1mm, maybe 1.5mm in diameter ( would have to check). But I don't have a tap and die set. My Dad does, somewhere, but it'd be hard to dig out I think.

OK, I think I've figured out a possible solution to the first issue. I could place small washers on the LHS screw, but below the brace so that I can adjust the force on the heatsink.

Hi folks, Back around 2016, my beloved PowerBook G4 12" fell off a table and the inner pin from the PSU cable broke, falling into the PBook's case. I took it apart to remove it, which was successful, but when reassembling, I found the LHS heatsink screw was stripped. (I marked half the top...

Or @croissantking : if I sent either of you the iBook, would you want to do that? Would you prefer me to send the logic board suitably enclosed and protected from shock or the whole thing? I still think setting up periodical workshops would be something to think about in order to pass on...

I knew about disabling the cache, but didn't think about the System 7 limitation. The P400 will run System 6.0.8. I think what I meant about the cache is that I suspect it's possible to contrive code for a P400 with its cache turned on, that would fail to run correctly on an LC475 with or...

I'll jump in first as it'll be the least knowledgable (and because I have a P400)! the LC475 is an '040, so there are some things that can run on the '030-based P400 that won't on an LC475, e.g. due to cache differences. The CC is essentially the same as a P400 except that the screen resolution...

Hi folks, A friend of mine (the chap with the PB5300c I still haven't fixed) gave me a whole bunch of 30-pin SIMMs when I picked up the B&W G3. Size/SIMM (Bytes)SIMMSModeSpeed 256kB4FPM120ns 1MB2FPM80ns 1MB4FPM80ns 1MB4FPM80ns 4MB5FPM60ns So, that's 19 SIMMs! It's non-trivial...
