    Getting a 820-5037 Mac II Workstation/Portrait Display card to work

    Yeah, it's a sun cable, sold as 'sun/Apple compatible' but I suspect it may not be so, though you'd expect as 13w3 to 13w3 cable to be a straight connection. Anyone got a spare Apple 13w3 cable? That second card works fine I think but will check for leakage where you indicated. Will washing it...

    Getting a 820-5037 Mac II Workstation/Portrait Display card to work

    I acquired these two Apple Workstation/Portrait cards over time and been trying to get one of them working on my Mac IIfx.   Large: gallery_5459_108_320932.jpg The top one is a 820-5037-B "1987, 88" and the bottom one probably Revision A board "1987". Both have 13W3 connectors for Apple...

    Which Nubus Ethernet card - Farallon PN590A-TP or DaynaPort E/11-T?

    Seems DaynaPort E/II works best under 7.5.5/7.5.3 OT1.3 and not the 7.1 / 7.1.2 I have been trying. Looks like Farrallon for the 7.1 system and DaynaPort for the 7.5.5 one.

    Mac iifx Kingston 2MB 64 pin SIMMs?

    Nicely done. Seems to be "proprietary memory" for that system... http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.indigo/ http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.indigo/images/r3kmemory.gif No wonder the Mac iifx did not like it.

    Mac iifx Kingston 2MB 64 pin SIMMs?

    Found these Kingston 2MB 64 pin SIMMs in my Mac IIfx but it would not boot with them in the RAM slots. I suspect the IIfx cannot handle 2MB SIMMs but if so, what machine/hardware are these SIMMs for?

    Which Nubus Ethernet card - Farallon PN590A-TP or DaynaPort E/11-T?

    Have a Mac IIfx and 2 Nubus Ethernet cards to choose from to put in it: - Farallon PN590a-TP V1.3 NuBus Ethernet card and  - DaynaPort E/11-T Rev A NuBus Ethernet card The latter looks smaller, more compact (fewer chips), and has a RJ45 10baseT adapter only. The Farallon one has AAUI and...

    Just scored a free huge old Mac haul... what's this video connector?

    Do you have some further details on the pinouts? I have such a card and a portrait monitor and was looking at a Sun 13w3 cable to connect the two - is that not going to work?

    Mac IIfx surprise packet

    Saw one of those daughter cards (though it read' upgrade card'). Some commentary suggests these cards have additional decoders on them. Will set up a  ebay alert, but it could be a long wait!!

    Mac IIfx surprise packet

    Sigh! 8( The long search for missing pieces commences... Managed to the the IIfx to spark into life - resat the RAM and ROM and took out those mad looking Kingston 2MBs and she came to life ok. Now, I just need to find a 7.5 or 7.61 HDD to chuck in there as I think 7.1.2 doesn't shutdown these...

    Mac IIfx surprise packet

    A gentleman never tells... Let's just say the price paid was worth an entry in this nubus card lucky dip contest. Now, I just need to get it going - it does that 'Mac II thang' of the power light coming on for a sec, then shutting down. Possibly the batteries are too weak to kick it off (2 x...

    Mac IIfx surprise packet

    So, I manage to snag an illusive 'Wicked Fast' Macintosh IIfx on eBay...   While getting a Mac IIfx was great, of more interest was finding out what was inside this beast - eBay shared this glimpse of what was inside... Getting my hands on it at  last and opening it up, I found that all 6...

    Mac G4 Cube - Powering up issues - DC to DC board?

    Have now tried replacing the DC to DC VRM board on my Cube (and tried with 2 different power supplies) but still no luck!! Any ideas? Should I see a green light on the motherboard somewhere? Any help appreciated.

    Mac G4 Cube - Powering up issues - DC to DC board?

    I picked up a 450Mhz G4 Cube recently on ebay. The seller said it worked fine until recently when he plugged the power supply into the wall and heard a 'sparking' sound. Since then it hasn't powered on - he believed it was the power supply, however, even with a replacement Power Supply, the cube...

    I have the 2 TPD cards and one connector to the back of my SE/30 (BNC) and I have what I believe is the correct monitor cable that is BNC to a 15 pin (the Apple 2 lines of pins) VGA plug and was going to source a VGA monitor with wide Hz to pickup this, once I sorted out if drivers were needed...
