Yes. Just make sure you check pinouts and voltages.

Got the VGA and ATA-SD adapters today. Burned a new coy and installed 8.6. Going to install 7.5+ and 9, just because. I can verify everything works. I’m pretty damn happy.

I don't believe so. The XL is a cost reduced Rage II, which can be re-flashed AFAIK. Was thinking that would also be possible with the XL.

Has anyone out there used a Rage XL in their PCI Power Mac? Thinking about picking one up for my 6400. They're dirt cheap on eBay. 8mb of vram isn't too bad. Before I pull the trigger, I though maybe someone had an opinion.

Do you have the rest of the number on the pot? It says 634something

Pulled the cooler, repasted it. While looking at overclocking the 6100, I noticed somewhere it said a 40mm fan fits in the heat sink. I think it was kan.org. 40mm happens to be the same size used for the Ender3 3D printer hot end. Ran a couple jumpers down to +12v and ground.

Burned a OS 8.6 install disk and it sounds like it boots to the CD. The Apple video to VGA adapter should be here tomorrow. Here's to hoping the adapter actually works. I haven't had a non-Intel Mac in the house since my iBook G4 died 10 years ago.

MDK is DEFINITELY on the list. One of my favorites at that age.

Cleaned and reassembled! Not a bad job for a 13 y.o.

Super simple 840 clock battery replacement. 2032 battery in some adhesive lined heat shrink. Positive and negative leads are just coiled and the heat shrink keeps them attached. Verified voltage (3.26V) and stuck on the old velcro.

After buying a 6100/60, I found a 6400/200 with a keyboard and mouse for $50. Complete and supposedly boots. My oldest and I are cleaning it now and will do a refurb while waiting for the 6100 to show up.

A little chart with the differences between the currently available Zulu models would be really helpful to those of us who are new to the SD adapter game.

I think I'm going to go with ZuluSCSI. Now to figure out if I want the RP or ARM variant.

I got a 6100/60 for a reasonable price coming. I’ll be doing a full recap on both the motherboard and psu. I’ve sourced overclocking crystals. I already ordered 256mb of 60ns FPM ram. I’ve got my eye out for some cache as well. Looks like 256k is all I can get. I’m also keeping my eyes open for...

FYI, I'm going to be ordering 10 riser PCBs. Minimum order is 5, and it's only $5 more to get 5 more cards.
