    Power Mac G5 SSD Woes

    Spare black rounded screws were left inside the case screwed to the wall. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/dfsI5jafwD5dgsKs.medium They are shown on the left unless somebody used them already. You put the screws into the side mounting holes and slide the drive into the rails. Of course...

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    As far as I know Photoshop was one of the few apps that used the second processor for some tasks.

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    Sorry, maybe I should not post when I am half asleep. I didn't mean to shit on the effort. Nobody here is buying 68K Mac gear to do actual work these days, it is all about seeing what makes things tick and playing around with what used to be cutting edge. If somebody wants to invest time in...

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    I would like to see people putting effort into an overclocked 68040 with a few MB of cache that will actually work instead of unobtanium 68060's that never will. Still cool you can even get it to boot. I suspect that Daystar canned the 060 because they could not sell it on speed and...

    PBG3 Wallstreet - How stiff is too stiff for the hinges?

    The LCD cable wraps around one of the hinges so breaking a hing is not good. Does it need lube or is it broken? PDQ and Wallstreet are the same.

    Why can't I burn an install disc for my Pismo from a modern Mac?!

    If holding the C key on bootup doesn't boot from the optical drive, then use the option key method to see what your bootable options are.

    A/UX 3.x install on IIfx hangs

    I just used the A/UX 3.x that came with my WGS 95 and it installed and worked fine. Don't recall how much RAM was in there.

    Recapping a (hopeless?) PowerMac 7100

    1995,6,7 Apple sales were really bad, so the volume of machines made was probably lower than earlier models. I have a couple 7100's and while the form factor isn't my favorite they are not bad machines comparable to the IIci and Q700 form factor people love. Most people get a PDS video card, so...

    I have a set of those Yamaha speakers as well, very common. Then you have something like these (sold under many names):

    ”Early” 128k Macintosh Values?

    You have 128KB of RAM and one 400KB floppy drive with no HD. You can run the very earliest versions of a few apps and swap floppies back and forth to do that, sounds useless to me (and most people who had 128K macs upgraded to 512K to get anything done.

    ”Early” 128k Macintosh Values?

    I do wonder how many original DOS 6100's were sold, mine has the DOS writing on the front. 128K Macs were pretty much useless, so if you absolutely want one you probably want one 100% complete in box with all papers and 100% stock (which few probably still are) to sit on a shelf. Prices would...

    ”Early” 128k Macintosh Values?

    The DOS card is worth more than that, same with the cable if you have it.

    OrangePC Card on IIfx

    386DX (32 bit memory) and above need 4 of the exact same SIMMs, you cannot install them in uneven pairs. 3 and 9 chip SIMMs work best (parity) unlike macs which don't care.

    Quadra 950 — Maximum bootable partition offset

    What OS are you using other than A/UX? System 7 allows 2GB partitions to be bootable, 7.5.2 to 8.x allow 4GB bootable partitions and I think 8.1 allows 2TB partitions but not bootable on 68K.

    OrangePC Card on IIfx

    For the 300/400/500 series cards 2048MB emulated drive sizes are good (DOS limitation of 2GB).

    Asante Nubus Card

    Ethertalk sounds like you are trying to use a serial port instead of ethernet.

    Asante Nubus Card

    I keep 10/100 switches around for the old gear since those 10Mb cards probably won't work on a GB switch. Never had an issue with 100Mb Nubus Ethernet other than them being way slower than PC equivalent at 100Mb.

    Was the Daystar Turbo 040 the best 040 accelerator?

    I really love my 68040/50 with cache plugged into the CPU socket of my Quadra 950. Oddly enough the accelerators I don't use much are the Radius Rocket 25i's I have.
