    Mac Mini G4 SSD

    Thanks Wayne and Jim. Several different options. Much appreciated. The G4 Mini server will be excellent.

    Mac Mini G4 SSD

    Ah, brilliant David — thanks.    ive also managed to find this horror show: https://www.amazon.com/128GB-KingSpec-2-5-inch-SM2236-Controller/dp/B0091T4ZWU but the price is insane for 120gb.

    And would something like this help?

    Mac Mini G4 SSD

    Hi all. A Mac Mini question. I’ve recently acquired a Mini G4 1.25, which is the first one: PowerMac10,1. I want to use the thing as a bridge server from modern Mac to 68k.    Everymac lists this as having an Ultra ATA/100 storage interface. OWC no longer seems to stock an SSD for this - they...

    New 3D-printed parts (ktkm)

    Honestly this would be great. I’ve been on the lookout for one of these for a while and they never seem to come up. I don’t suppose anyone has one they could measure with the requisite degree of accuracy? Are they the same as SE ones except for the placement of the hooks/pins/shafts or whatever...

    Completed my Apple Upgraded Mac Plus

    Font/DA mover, hold “option” as you click on the “open” button. Will let you open applications, not just suitcases and system files.

    Discussions with Michael from CodeSrc continue.    Two bits of news today: I have a Nubus video card that can do native 1024x768 (RasterOps 108+), which means I can run an LCD at native resolution. It’s not working perfectly though. I need more info on the jumpers on the card, so I’ve ordered...

    I’m torn between LCD panels that are 1024x768 and CRTs. The latter’s period accurate, but LCD is so much better. Perhaps CRT for games. Perhaps I should just fix my CRTs.... Still, congrats on your dream machine. Enjoy building it.

    Mac IIci & cache card questions

    Didn’t the 040 have built-in cache?

    Multiple Scan 17 Display wuestion

    Thanks Jeremy. Sounds like it’ll work — now I need to decide if driving three hours each way is a goer.

    An update - Michael from CodeSrc sent me an experimental firmware file that apparently removes some of the speed enhancements and it works! Interestingly it works better in the IIfx than the Quadra 700 in one sense — in the Quadra it needs external Molex power to have more than one SCSI target...

    Multiple Scan 17 Display wuestion

    Oh but wait - the Service source says System Requirements Power Macintosh, Macintosh Centris, Macintosh Quadra, or any NuBus compatible Macintosh with a Macintosh Display Card 24AC. Macintosh II family, PowerBooks, Duo and Mini Dock, Macintosh Performa, Macintosh LC, LC II, LC III, and...

    Multiple Scan 17 Display wuestion

    Ahoy all - the Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display is listed as requiring system 7.1. I seem to recall that it defaults to 640x480 otherwise. But what happens if you hook one up to a video card that only supplies, say, 1024x768? There’s one for sale nearby, but I want to use it with system 6. Any ideas?

    Congrats. Always brilliant to get the one you really want.    For memory the built in video on these was pretty good - it’s have to be a pretty good NuBus card.

    I did wonder about that PCAMen - it seems to be running the latest, and the most recent v6s can’t be downgraded — they need the latest. That said, I tried and the firmware update process said something about the firmware not matching the state of the hardware. All a bit mysterious. Time to email...

    I’ve not seen those before either. Nice little boxes.

    Aaaaand an external drive doesn't work either. Seems there's quite a lot of disapproval of version 6 of the SCSI2SD out there. Might not have made the cleverest decision with my $145 there.  This was meant to be my fun evening of setting up my IIfx, dammit. Instead I'm troubleshooting SCSI like...

    This is really getting me down. The version 6 will let itself be formatted by Lido, but the drives don't work for anything than a small copy, either on the IIfx or the Quadra. Termination is on on the SCSI2SD; it's the only SCSI device. HD SC Setup will detect and attempt to initialise, but...
