They made 500KB 5.25" disks as well, have a dusty box on my shelf.

Mac Voodoo 5's are like $1000 these days. The PC and Mac PCI editions of the Voodoo 5 looks the same except for the DVI connectors, capacitors, and most importantly the Silicon Image chip.

If there was it would be mentioned on the os9lives forum.

I have just the computer snagged locally for free.

The OEM install CDs for that model are on archive.org if you need them.

I would think it would be common practice to check for shorts to ground before turning something on.

That Sony Vaio monitor looks like the one that matched my Vaio Pentium PC.

The only way to real find a short is to use a bench power supply where you can dial in the current max and then use a thermal imaging camera to find the hot spot. You can have a short in the middle of the circuit board between layers and have to Dremel it out.

One of my regrets is not snagging some higher end G3/G4 ZIFFs when they were cheap.

Anyone ever run it on A/UX?

I still have an 840av that doesn't bong I need to fix, but it's been sitting for years as I work on other things.

I have a PCI video card for PC (Permedia based I think so Win2K era) that supported 4 VGA monitors but needed a special cable. Very specialized stuff back then. While you can stick multiple cards into a IIfx for example I never even tried more than 2 monitors and even that was just to do it.

Are you going to figure out a way to mount the floppy drive?

That tool is good for giving you more information than a handheld digital meter can do at a price point that no oscilloscope can touch and it is easily portable.

Yes.

Find something with a 68020 thats dead and strip it from there. I don't see where else you are going to find that part with that budget. Whole working IIfx are $500-1000.

My jackhammers boot just fine for attached drives (even on my IIfx). The ATTO IV cards tend to be just for storage drives and are not bootable unless you have the final firmware. I still have to see if the SE II's I have are bootable or not.

Yes, it would be cool to see it work and take a snapshot, but any native OS 9 machines would blow it away and I am sure we all have at least one of those. I remember stuffing 384MB of RAM into one of my Q950 machines (256MB of 16MB 30 pin SIMMs and 128MB on the Daystar 601-80 card) just to do...

You can use a 50 pin one with the other connector. You can also use external drives with the correct cables and terminators. These days I would recommend whatever you can find locally just to see if the card works.

No idea, I use mostly 68 pin SCSI drives on mine.
