One board/chip for ROM, one for hotflashable RAMdisk?

This is a board you could just saw in half for compatibility, is it not? As someone with a plus I am interested in seeing this project develop.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_spreader "A heat spreader is a heat exchanger that moves heat between a heat source, and a secondary heat exchanger whose surface area and geometry are more favorable than the source." http://www.thermacore.com/products/heat-spreaders.aspx "Heat spreaders let...

Just so we are on the same page, you are talking about removing the black disc, right? Black disk being the heat spreader held against the CPU die by a square plastic piece around the whole CPU package. Then the big metal plate under the keyboard is the heatsink. On the underside of the black...

A few years ago I pulled my PDQ out and the fan had started running constantly. I unplugged it. Perhaps because I live in Canada or not, I have never heard the fan come on under any load and I had actually tried using it on soft surfaces at some point in the past. The fan in my Lombard also ran...

Internet says 18.5v for 2009 models and earlier, is that right?If both PSUs put out the same voltage but one is lower wattage, then you are talking less current. As long as you do not trip the PSU's overcurrent protection it should work for testing purposes. If anything is going to die it would...

That is really sad. I used to push four hours with my (very cheap low end model from 2009 keep in mind) HP DV4-1225DX while internetting on a new high capacity battery, and that had a terribly wasteful AMD CPU. IDK what my Thinkpad T510(from 2010 or something mind you) would do with a new...

Well, about the thermal compound, I personally have a preference for IC Diamond. Even more so when it is going to be in use for a long time since it resists pump-out. However ICD is likely overkill for a PB. For anything like old notebooks that I care less about or something I am likely to take...

I am not sure how hot MDDs normally run but have you made sure the fan you installed was pointing in the correct direction for the MDD case?(and not just the same direction as the previous aftermarket fan was installed) Also, have you checked any other fans to ensure someone did not screw around...

According to a quick google, DOOM II requires 256 colours and 68LC040 above your setup. http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=532&tab=sysreqs But you can always try the Shareware MacDoom in the non-DOS section: http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/info/shareware.php Apparently Ultimate DOOM...

Because it is from the mid 90s, and they are paying to host something that has had no bearing on anything they have sold in pretty much two decades at the least. It is nice when you get this sort of resource hanging around for decades but honestly, a _lot_ of the people using it these days never...

All the information you need for flashing the 7800GS or X1900XT is all online. Make sure to backup the original ROMs first! I have not looked at info for either of these cards in a long while but I would bet flashing them in a PC would be easiest.

I thought you purchased a roomful?

Please re-read the thread, or perhaps check a search engine.It is very doable.

Was the GeForce 4Ti not the fastest OS 9 card?

Purple. A nice professional yet slightly stand-out type shade. It is a little flare of colour, yet nice and dark to maintain a clean look. I am not sure how to describe it better tbh. Orange is good for something nice and bright though. :p

You mean on just one side? Try a hacksaw, it is just aluminum is it not? Make sure you stick a fan on the heatsink afterward though. :p If you do cut it, make sure you look at it from the side once mounted to check for gaps between the die itself and the contact area of the heatsink. It is...

I would really suggest drilling some holes in the motherboard tray of your case. To save the hassle of tapping holes, you can stick nuts on the back of standoffs. If you are using a drill rather than a drill press, your holes are not going to be the right size, shape, or location anyway. Brass...

Just as a general reference for anyone interested in G4 towers: http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml Also, perhaps you want to toss in a PATA or SATA card to regain ports lost? As far as removing the connector some would snip, some would pull the black plastic off and desolder the...

The issue is that the ATA connector is in the way of the wide CPU card itself. The QS heatsink is a different issue and would normally interfere with the CD/ZIP bays in a Sawtooth/GBE case. For the purpose of this conversation, Sawtooth and Gigabit Ethernet are effectively the same as far as I...
