Are they even needed? Protectors are important for 5.25" floppy drives that have a top and bottom head (read both sides at the same time) to keep the heads aligned during shipping and to keep them from bouncing off each other. 3.5" floppy drives only have one head. Any kind of shock that would...

I think the testers also don't do a great job with higher voltage capacitors since they use a 9V battery.

Beige G3 motherboards have a jumper for Apple or ATX power supplies. Check capacitors for leaks also.

I had to wait for a Sonnet firmware update to come out to capture video on their PCI ATA cards because of sync issues 20+ years ago. Moving files and running apps was never a problem but keeping video and audio in sync was a different story. I still have a 18GB native 50 pin SCSI HD on the...

An external SCSI drive or an Iomega Jazz depending on the bitrate. Just depends how much money you want to spend. For Around $112 plus shipping you can buy a Medea VideoRaid on eBay that is SCSI with 4 internal 40+GB IDE drives in hardware RAID that will work find with AVID systems let alone...

Would have to see where my 9000's are, probably in machines.

That would be cool.

There are lines from the card going to the Nubus pins so it is doing something. Considering the RAM works even when the PPC isn't being used some of that must go over the Nubus slot. I don't remember is the cache works without the PPC enabled.

I had fun running an old IBM Xserve 226 with a Nvidia Quadro PCIE card using Windows 2000 advanced server at 1080P. Hunting for the correct compatible card and drivers was fun to get that combination to work. Anyway, I keep a bunch of ATI 9000 AGP cards around just because it makes using OS...

I would suggest finding an external SCSI CDROM/CDRW/HD etc. to see if your card and cable work. For all you know that scanner could be toast.

I kept a bunch of 16/24 port 10/100 switches for my old machines when they were being dumped as obsolete. Heck I even kept my old coax hub and some cables just in case. I also still have most of a spool of cat5 cable, connectors, and my toolkit to make cables as needed. If you collect more...

Are these the same as the ones on ebay for $20 plus shipping for 15 pcs? https://www.ebay.com/itm/112262269741

Termination on 8 bit and 16 bit is a bit different. 8-bit termination is usually passive (just a bunch of resisters) but can be active (uses a bunch of voltage regulators). 8-bit termination works on 8 data lines plus 1 parity, 16 bit termination works on 16 data lines and 2 parity. So using an...

You can get a terminator for the DB25 port and not use the internal terminator. USE ID 2,4,5 OR 6 for the scanner SCSI ID. Most likely you just have terminator issues. You will need software/drivers for the film scanner (which you have).

Those fans probably help with the cover off but once sealed you don't have any cool air coming in or hot are going out unless you cut holes somewhere.
