Plus, defunct IIsi and 14" RGB Display, Performa 475 with full 040 and 14" RGB Display, Power Macintosh 5500/225, iMac G3/500 FW, iMac G4 17", Power Macintosh MDD 1.25, MacBook and MacBook Pro with Core2Duo, iMac 5k & MacBook Pro 13"

HI, I´ve got a NEC 5 Port USB 2 card donated some time ago and thought, I would give it a try in my 5500. Unfortunately, 9.0.4 includes the drivers, but doesn't seem to recognise the card. Strangely, with the card installed, system profiler shows me three unknown PCI devices. Without the card...

One of the few cards I remember to work in such 475/575 machines is the LC PDS based Supermac Spigot. Very rare to find. Here is a review: https://tidbits.com/1992/04/20/videospigot-review/ Unfortunately, that’s a video in-card and no TV card. But it had a sibbling, the Simply TV card. Never...

No bubble wrap, just standing on top of the IIsi like in normal operation.

Thanks @joshc I will take out the board the other day and inspect it more thoroughly. As said, I have little experience with this kind of stuff.

I saved a IIsi from the landfill the other and the unit doesn't look too bad. It was stored in a self storage facility for the last 20 years (at least). This IIsi 5/80 comes with Nubus FPU adapter, a pack of original software (Claris Works in original box), manuals, keyboard, mouse and a 14"...

So, I am now the lucky (we will see) owner of a IIsi 5/80 with Nubus adapter and FPU - including a 14" Apple RGB Color Monitor. Strange thing is, the displays feet almost melted away. They feel like fresh sanitary silicon. The "debris" could be removed with 99% iso and at least one foot melted...

Just saw a RTL8139C based 10/100 card on eBay today. I know that Realtek 8139 based cards work in Mac OS. However, this card looks different than others I have found upon research, Any idea whether this type would run with classic OS?

not so unusual. I remember that I once used similar ones to adapt the old 72pin SIMMs from the 1. generation of Power Macs to the 2nd generation’s 168pin DIMM Slot

Has any progress been made to the PEX project?

LEM specifies the GWorld DRam upgrade as being the same as the Mac IIfx ram. However, Apple’s own documentation lists Part Number M0505LL/A as being unique to the GC. if being the same as fx memory, they would have stated that (or maybe not). In a third party repair manual it is stated that...

I guess it´s no problem to saturate the bus on older 68k macs, even the faster and more sophisticated SCSI bus on later Quadras. But the fast SCSI bus on Tsunami/TNT style PowerMacs is a different kind of animal. The beige G3 was a step back as his SCSI imterface was back to the 5mb style - of...

AFAIK, 604r was what IBM called it internally. The chips were labelled 604ev. Regarding the FPU, the floating point of the 603 and G3 had only a 32 bit multiplier (ALU) -- so for floating point multiplies it took two passes (2 cycles) to do a 64 bit floating point operations. The 604's had a...

AFAIK, Mach 5 ist not 604e, it‘s 604ev or mostly called 604r, ranging from 250Mhz up to 400Mhz. Everything 300Mhz or higher is only suited for Kansas (inline cache) units. This 100Mhz Inline Cache was possible as the 604r supported a bus speed of of up to 100Mhz - compared to max. 66Mhz for the...

here you go......

let’s see 😉 but as said, there are plenty of Tsunami/Nitro/TNT/StormSurge etc. upgrade cards around. They are not really a rarity and as such most likely not worth the efforts.

Yes, Dave Haynie, Andy Finkel and Peter Kittel. They worked on the genuine Pios hardware platform that resulted in Maxxtrem (CHRP) and TransAm (Amiga). In addition, the CEO worked for Commodore/Amiga. Maxxtrem was axed by Steve Job‘s return and the end of cloning. TransAm was also never...

Yes, I am the Joe from "joeCARD" or "littleJoe". Don´t worry, I did not feel offended at all. You´re not the first one to link the crash of Met@box USA to this. Most guys simply don´t know the whole story behind it. Once Met@box even had it´s own business plane (a twin-turboprop) and over the...

Floppy? JoeCARDs and littleJoes have always been shipped with a CD. These days it´s also not so easy to find a Mac able to read CDs (except in this forum)

But as @macuserman said, the manual is the golden prize. And I have good news, I still have all the documentation here on a shelf next to my lovely Mac Plus :)
