I think it was black. I went through the control panels and found one called BCache Control, which points to a Phase5 Maccelerate with 1MB cache. LEM lists something like this as a 300MHz accelerator. Interesting.

Was out walking earlier when I passed by a local institute of higher learning. They put all their electronics recycling outside in marked bins (behind their walls, but there's no gate, you can walk right so I'm not sure it's technically trespassing). I've gotten good stuff from there in the...

Does it use a normal FAT file system that can be read on a computer? I think a lot of old music gear like this had proprietary file systems. Probably a simple one, but I think there'd be some coding needed.

Is this (on the hardware side) capable of being a SCSI host? SCSI was common on samplers (musical instruments) from the late 80's to the late 90's as a way of transferring audio directly between a computer (which would act as the host) and the samplers memory, using a SCSI-based protocol called...

My impression is that the custom chips in anything after the SE get a lot more complex, but that reimplementing the GLU chip seems fairly easy... The video system in the SE is a variant of the original's, as far as I can tell, very simple stuff. Not saying the later ones are impossible to...

This is a very interesting project.

Oh, wow. That's actually very useful.

I have no use for these unfortunately, but I'd almost get one for scuzzy the snail alone. Hope to see it on other products. What a mascot!

I'm not actually sure it's the original in there, I think I replaced it long ago with something cheap that kind of fit. I've added two big Nubus cards so I'm a lot more worried about airflow now.

Hi! Can anyone recommend a good, quiet fan to replace the one in my Quadra 700 power supply?

I remember when the TiBooks came out, how beautiful and powerful and ahead of everything else they seemed - it's also quite amazing how well the look has held up, I think. These look to be in extremely good condition, what a catch. I missed one locally a few months ago and I'm still a little sad...

At the risk of derailing your thread completely, do you know how big a difference there is between SCSI hosts and SCSI targets? Would it be possible to use hardware as (relatively) simple as yours to implement a SCSI host? The reason I ask is because there exists a standard, SMDI, that...

Yeah, those could work as well! Supposedly also some of the MAX II and MAX V CPLDs from Intel/Altera, by use of an external resisting (current limiting, I'm guessing): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/programmable/cpld/max-ii.html...

I'd love to hear about these projects you allude to btw.

I don't know much about GALs, but from those equations it looks like it's just combinatorial logic? I've been playing a bit with the Lattice FPGAs that somebody made an open source toolchain for, and if I'm reading this correctly it'd be extremely simple to implement in one of those. The syntax...

Not tried that, but I have a very generic-looking PCMCIA SD card reader that works fine with my Lombard.

This'd be a great service, I think.

Mine says FPU: Built-in Hardware FPU: Yes.

Well, mine just arrived and it appears to be a genuine full 68040, 33 MHz, according to TattleTech. This was the auction: https://www.ebay.de/itm/361225888013 I give them a low offer first, they returned with 43USD.

I have 132 mb in the Quadra 650 I'm putting together. It takes ages to boot and I can't see myself ever using half of it, even doing audio. Nice job on the troubleshooting here.
