From memory, no. But check the heat sink compound, if there was indeed a mica insulator you would see it; and the eventual screw to secure the package to the metal shield would be insulated too, normally with a plastic spacer.

It looks like an emission model case. One to be used in an anechoic chamber for radiation emission modeling, of some sort.

Well I think it’s because on these machines you can run Mac Os 9… which is great

Uhm while I do imagine this to be a very interesting technique, in Rome where I live the power in W per square meter from solar radiation approaches 995W in July, with an illumination again in July of almost 100.000 lux (basically 100k lumen per square meter!! ). that is a lot the UV component...

I use the classic mix with hi o2 hair bleach developer in almost gel form. What I do is start with two parts 30% volume developer mix and tone it down with one part of distilled water - it makes it more fluid. so I use one of those garden pressure pump spray bottles ( 10€ or so) to”spray paint”...

im confused, Zizagjoe, what was the rationale in making such an expensive piece of kit back in 1993, using arguably ”performance” components if the LC III slot is so slow? I think it was around 550 $… and it was indeed accelerated, I have the original manual, it lists lots of features and...

Possibly yes, most PDS video cards are indeed low end, on the other hand the Weitek 9k was a very high end chip especially on the PC market : Chip Those chips were real fast in the early 90s, while I never had the money for a Mac, I used Autocad and a W9k in my 486Dx2/66 with VLB. I had...

😳 Hmm on second thought that is a very weird and specific card, meant for the SE/30, but the LC-PDS Micron card is a completely different beast, IMHO similar to the 24AC in concept. It carries 2M of VRAM which is a lot for this class and era of video cards. according to the manual, the Color...

“Quite expensive”? Did you find any for sale? Im pretty curious, what kind of prices did yo find?

unfortunately the 6200 logic board was heavily damaged by acid leakage or something, years and years ago so I do not have it anymore….

I have a Micron Xceed Color Fusion card, it’s based on a Weitek 9000 chip (I used to have a Vesa Local Bus graphics accelerator card for PC called Wizard 9000 that used this exact same chip), and it’s great. I mounted inside a Mystic CC and it works really well - better than the integrated...

That would be very interesting! using a 20€ 233 mhz ZIF G3 card to upgrade would be great

Great job! Can you share what configuration under 9 are you using to make the ATi video board work with the G4 CPU? I have a 7000 and I have a bunch of issues. As can be seen here anyway: r7000 and beige G3 issues

I will take out of storage the G3 MT and see, however I was not successful in using 8.6 with USB, Firewire or other “modern” PCI upgrades, even when trying out 9.x extensions. Also, I think I used an Italian OS which in hindsight may have been in conflict with some extensions too. I will have to...

I apologize. I moved this to a thread in the hacks and development section... and I still also have a problem with my flashed 7000 in a beige G3 MT - and i'd love to have a look at the extensions that ArbysTPossum mentioned. I have a 350MHz Yikes G4 in my machine.

Well, I do not have yet a Rage pro chip yet... if you can salvage one from a broken MB, download the technical reference manual, check all relevant things and give it a try! The reference crystal used in the 6500 is the correct 14.318 MHz, and the stated voltages for the Rage Pro are 3.3V Core...

So, a few months back I read this post: link by the great Trag, and started researching how to upgrade the stock ATi Rage II based video on my PowerMac 6500 board. I PM'd Trag and we discussed a bit on the possibility to double the VRAM of the PM 6500, a possibility that would open interesting...

Hi Croissantking, I have to be more specific! First off, thank you for the offer, I will certainly DM you for the Pro. Then, I'd like to elaborate on what I'm doing. I read a few months back a post by the great Trag, here: link And i started thinking. I PM'd Trag and we discussed a bit on the...

And there’s the very real possibility to replace the Ati Rage II on the 6500 with a Rage Pro, and double the SGRAM to 4 mb… im actually exploring this possibility!

No makes no difference, black is GND and it’s unified on the PCB of both logic board and PSU
