I can also confirm that a flashed 7000 will happily plug and play with a 23" aluminum cinema display at 1920x1200. Additional background might be tied to the same issue mentioned in the August 2005 Radeon ROM update documentation. For the 9000 Pro, 9800 Pro, and 9800 Pro Special Edition, "Fixed...

Looking at those prints, if the overclock weren’t in question at all, I would first guess a similar but technically incompatible printer driver or printing extension is being used. Just what it *looks* like. I know you’ve installed it fresh from a source, and there really aren’t too many ways...

The PowerBook3,4 should work with this set: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/powerbook-g4-titanium-dvi-os-9-install-cd I'm not finding anything when I search for a German version though. Maybe it's not as easy to find, or maybe this set includes all of the language pack files. It's been a long...

I think this appeared just around the time of the Intel transition, so Sorbet Leopard should have it; I think I saw it work on Tiger/Intel but not sure about Tiger/PPC. If you select '465.8 GB WDC...' a Partition tab will appear, and you *should* be able to drag the volume most adjacent the free...

@Powerbase here's the completed version. The xlsx and photoshop files should corroborate each other. I don't seem to get any contact on the init/error pins for the LPT or several of the gameport pins I'd expect would be needed for a complete implementation, so there may be more to discover there.

I've made a first pass at toning one out and am going to recheck my work before I formalize it into a more readable doc, but this will be coming. Tangentially, I'm not precisely sure if there are differences in these cables. I know of OMI p/n 90CAB00301 and p/n 90CAB00302 which look visually...

It might be this note doesn't matter much, as the other times I recall bringing this up it hasn't turned out to be the cause of any overclock symptoms being discussed (or isn't really true? There's a 100MHz oscillator directly next to the SCSI chip... At least as recently as 2015 it doesn't seem...

Yeah, there was a lot of wincing as I force-pried the standoff out from the plastic as it crumbled. The thickness on the lid *should* mean nothing will show on the outside. This stuff should do the trick. Rather unfun to work with and it really takes its time to set IIRC, but holds up in most...

Good to know. In that case I'd agree with @Phipli that since the loopback seems to be working it's still more likely a fault in some code layer than a hardware fault caused by overclocking. Not impossible, however. The 'leave without power for a while with no battery' trick has some weight to...

My thought is the data on the hard drive may have become corrupt and something in the printing system is not loading correctly. NewerTech's manual for the Variable Speed Overdrive mentions an idiosyncrasy with the Quadra 700 specifically, that the SCSI controller uses the same clock as the CPU...

I had one stick this way. Unfortunately the only way I got it out was to carefully insert thin needle-nose pliers behind the standoff, which required making the problem slightly worse before starting to fix it. This was before 3D printed parts were around, so I just carefully realigned the...

I have an ATTO SiliconExpress IV which went from working, to intermittent, to failed in a short span. While intermittent it produced the same symptoms in my 950, only advancing to the screen with rounded corners when the SEIV was in a working state, otherwise just hanging at the square corners...

Thanks for this, now I won't try poking at it... It's too bad the limit is so low; I think I remember old posts fastasizing about 16MB SIMM support.

Totally understandable. For what its worth the other two should also be able to detect them, though a couple tests with 4x4MB in the Thunder/24 suggest either it's capped at 8MB or something else isn't configured properly. I'm still on the lookout for ROM v3.1 for the Thunder/24, which might...

(from auction photos) I think this one is the Futura II SX/DSP; mostly the same but with less VRAM (L for large displays; S for small.) There are also a set without headers for the DSP, which have a blue rotary switch installed for setting resolution instead of the software mechanism on these...

I followed an old tip from @Unknown_K and played the Truevision card lottery, which landed me one with 4x4MB installed. Here's four shots of one of the modules: @Siliconinsider, hopefully something visible there can help resolve the addressing issue, otherwise pm me and I can arrange to...

Here’s a picture of a Futura II LX/DSP, but I don’t have either of the expansion modules for it.

Many thanks to all who have their time in this! This is really brilliant work; I've been switching between trying to understand all of these leaps and actually testing it on my TAM throughout the day. It's wonderful that this is the case. It was encouraging enough when cheesestraws was able to...

Yeah, basically it can't hurt to try if the panel would be considered junk anyways. To mitigate heat in unwanted areas, you'd probably only need something like a marine lamp on a dimmer and a metallic shroud to direct the light into the face of the LCD. The backlight could be separated, and a...

I thought this too, but for the purpose of bodging an extension together to attempt running alternating test patterns while at temperature, to see if this adds anything to the result.
