pretty sure that version of the g-port can be removed from the backplane and work as a normal modem replacement one...

the eprom read fine, sadly there's next to nothing on it. I'll post up the dump if anyone cares, but it basically identifies it as "cytyc corp" pasta board. the rest of the labeled chips are pla's which may or may not be readable by my programmer- i'll have to see, but i'm not holding my...

You know, yes original 601 ppc's look awesome.. but yeah.. was remounting the heatsink on my new 9150 board today and cracked the chip- why? because it doesn't actally touch the board- there's a huge gap behind the chip between it and the board... argh- I guess I'll pull a chip from a 7100 are...

I'll give that last option a shot and see what turns up... the TI chips are SN74BCT2420FN "Nubus Address/Data Transceivers And Registers" http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/130241/TI/SN74BCT2420FN/+031_5_VRh/1yOvNGH/1vwCvP/1+/datasheet.pdf I'll try to get better pics of the...

Q900, Q950, WGS95, Q9150, ANS500/700 all should share the same style key .. TYPE, but i'm unsure of the keying... duodock keys look COMPLETELY different. gold colored, dark grey rectangle end... I think i had something else that used the duo keys, but i'm drawing a blank at the moment

oh well that was all there was with it in a pile of other junker (mostly ii video card) boards...

dang.. i'm still looking for people to trade techstep carts with...

don't forget foreign file access and its addon extensions.

I've been contemplating a system inside an external 3.5" case with working 3.5" drive still...

I'm not too sure.. I'll see if those are roms i can dump once my programmer comes in this week so i can see if there's any clues as to what it is... The chips onboard don't look very "video" to me...

Nod- more or less what I already knew- working on a pinout to get the vga header functional. also, the case parts are late 2005 g5 case parts.. interesting as the system came out in early/mid 2005... i guess in a sense, it qualifies as a "prototype" of the late 2005 g5 case as well :) ...

can any nubus experts identify this? the board styling and tagging looks somewhat apple, the fact we've got prototype names on some of the chips is interesting.. sadly it seems the label on the eprom is removed, so no idea what that said... it's a strange board...

Not sure I've posted a conquest before, so I'll post this little gem. Photos Apple System Profiler Report (edited for privacy) http://eastrain.com/68kmla/dtk/DTK_EDITED.spx

while rebuilding is an option, it's not the best case scenario in terms of 'archiving". In the end, when i can't find a solution, i usually put it on my watched lists and buy a copy when it rolls around. at some point, I do hope the vintage macintosh software "archiving" efforts actually...

shrinkwrap produces a bad image- i've tested it, as well as doing a 4.2 image via osx

Any chance SOMEONE out there happens to have an original FLOPPY set that they can get a proper disk copy 4.2 image off this disk? I'm working on an in-depth archival project, and my original of the second disk fails about 963k in- I'd like to rewrite a proper image to it while I'm at it. NOTE...

that is one of the most unfair comparisons ever... "snappier..." let's see.. you have a VERY modern, fast, high cache 1TB 3.5" drive in the G5... 16GB ram... and you're comparing it to a 120gb laptop drive in a 2gb ram equipped system... that mini will school the g5 in calculations hands...

I probably should have read the thread rather than replying about weak plastics as I was asked to :) anyway- yeah- the bad hinge design is less of a "bad hinge" design and more of a "metal hinges connect to plastic (lack of) frame" the main design flaw is that apple designed the LCD assembly...

I have a 550, and a number of 520/540 variant, including the from-factory 500 PPC My 2¢ about the brittle plastics: I first came across this problem when I was getting back into collecting old macs about 3 years or so ago with a number of the Duo series. The problem you,I, others, and...
