I had him in mind and I posted here because of him. I do like that it is called a stealth serial port. Ah, Steve Jobs and slots.

I have a feeling that I have posted this request before and apologies if I have. Does anyone here have the driver for the Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader for Mac OS 9 or below? I've found the download page on archive.org but it redirects to a 302 page. I would appreciate it greatly...

When I was a student at university in the early 1990s, we had a lot of Pluses & SEs as well as LCs. My standard apps & games that I ran on the compact macs then were: a. SuperPaint 1.5 b. PageMaker 3.5 c. Word 4.0, MacWrite 5.0, MacWrite II d. MacDraw, MacDraw II e. Excel 2.1 & CricketGraph...

There is a Mac Pro going cheaply near me and it has two cards (which I assume are sound processing cards of some kind). And while I don't need another Mac Pro, it might be worth getting for the cards alone. What cards are these and what do they do? Thanks.

Well done! They are noisy beasts, and, of late, prone to failure. After only 30 years too. @BadGoldEagle also did good work with the PSU of his Q950. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/bges-take-on-the-quadra-900-950-atx-psu-mod.35014/

Could it be a bus-speed mismatch problem? I'm fairly sure that G4s can run at 66MHz. It ran originally at 100MHz in the Yikes!.

No, not at all. The idea is good. It's just something to bear in mind. As someone with 2x PM 8110s, this plan does appeal to me.

You may want to be careful about floppies, hard discs and anything affected by magnetism.

The beige Epson Zip-drive. I had one of these that I bought in Sofmap in Niigata-shi Japan in 1996. This isn't mine, rather one I came across on a local auction site.

There is surely somebody here to would love this and then be dismayed that it is nowhere near them. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/bretford_mobility_cart_20_for_macbook_and_ipad_tx322zm-a/version.asp It is actually on offer in Switzerland (for those 10 of us who happen to live within a 4 hour...

Clean the board and keep it until you find someone who needs experience in basic soldering. This will be good board to practice on: removing components, adding components and so on. I was given a damaged Classic board for this very purpose and I can testify to their usefulness.

You should have a look at the Radius Rocket NuBus card. It was essentially a 68040 computer within a mac with NuBus slots (Mac II or Quadra). It's not SMP but it did allow two processors to be used by a user simultaneously back in the early 1990s albeit for different tasks.

I got OS 8.1 up & running on my IIfx and I'm pretty certain I followed Gamba's instructions. It runs well with 32MB RAM. My install is here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-81-a-mac-iifx-or-maybe-just-a-68030 I haven't tried it on a IIci yet but it might work.

The whole vintageapple.org is a goldmine too.

Thanks very much for this.

In the past, as fast a disk as possible came recommended. A SATA card and SSD may help matters.

Agreed & seconded.
