so I did it with the gazelle mod enabled, the CPU scores this time around were a 983 solid after both a cold and warm reboot. FPU scores stayed around 1240 as well, compared to the graphs above. further testing also noted something else, I tried to do anything else to get the scores to drop...

Let me go and try that. Is there any test specifically you want me to try multiples of, or do you want me to just run CPU/FPU?

So for this, the system setup is exactly the same between all tests, with the exception of the NVRAM contents. Where OM-FWP is the Orange Micro patch, and the others should be fairly easy to figure out. Interestingly enough here on the processor tests, you can see where it's now reading just...

Given it's worth testing for science reasons, I don't see why I couldn't go and zap the PRAM once more and take another benchmark, just to be sure. I'll get to that a little later on this evening and post my findings.

from Web Archive The download you want is the last link. Both patchers let me use USB and FW. Card has a HiNT PCI bridge chip. It might be a plausible thing to patch the patcher with the newer patch, I was just saying that using the newer one instead of the Orange one seems to give a...

Wanted to chime in and say a heartfelt thank you for the geniuses that made this patch possible, it helped with the 6500/275 + Sonnet L2 400/1M I picked up from VCFMW off the free pile a couple weeks back. However, I did notice something strange. Using this with an Orange Micro OrangeLink...

This is a bit out there and I'm bringing this thread from the dead... But all other sources have failed me. A long time ago, silicon image made a PDF file available to modify a 311x chip for LED activity output. I have a few 1205sa cards in my collection and it would be heavily beneficial to be...

The one thing I noticed was the temp sensor placements, that's about it to a certain extent I can see as far as the LoBo standoffs themselves-- past that, I want to know why I'd have to get a new inverter cable. IIRC the only reason I can think is someone saying a cable from the inverter goes to...

I'm probably some sort of goof for trying to make this happen, but I recently acquired a mid-2006? black Macbook A1181 with a Core Duo T2500 onboard, and it's pretty wrecked. I have to replace the entire top casing and bottom casing, optical drive (which will probably get a hard drive adapter)...

This topic seems to fit in the hardware hacks section... although this is about an Intel mac. I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini 2.53 I picked up in late 2012 for $100 with a broken hard drive and 2 gigs of RAM. 8GB of Crucial RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and a thermal compound re-paste later, and I had...

I've been thinking about getting one of these for my Alu G4 15" HR, or something similar. my only issue is drive space-- I have a LOT of programs installed on that 10.4.11 install from when the Alu started life as a TiBook 500. I will never ever regret trading the one for the other. ever...

Whoops, nevermind on that. it's a SuperMac-branded Thunder II GX 1152. http://www.vintagecomp.com/room/mactune/VideoSuperMac/ThundrII1152.htm

So I finally got keys for the car I had my Quadra 700 stuffed into the trunk of... pulled it out last night and just got to it today to see which video card was inside. I remember it having GX printed on it, and so I thought for the longest time it was a Thunder IV GX. This was pulled out of a...

There's a few write-ups on the internets as to how to set up a RAMdisk. I used to do it with a 7.5 disk tools disk on my powerbook 180 way back, and a RAMdisk, I'd have it make a 2MB RAMdisk at boot, copy the files over and reboot off it. worked great. as far as other files... I think you'd...

it may be worth it to get a 7.5 disk tools floppy image, image it to a floppy, and boot it up via that method. check out the hard drive with disk first aid if possible and see if it even shows up under the SC setup. Cool find though. a shot of the board wouldn't hurt either... and you'll...
