With one of these you should be able to connect to a modern Ethernet switch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167112368388 Not sure what drivers you’ll need as I don’t recognize the manufacturer, bet someone else here will!

Thought to look at what my Umax SuperMac c500 has on its logic board as I remembered it is based on Apple's Alchemy (6360/5400/6400) design and has 16MB on-board but it uses the more typical 28 pin RAM ICs.

Does anyone know if RAM chips with memory density higher then 2MB were made in the "form factor" that would work with the 6500's four unused on-board memory pads? These somewhat larger than typical RAM IC have 42 pins, you can find DIMMs on eBay that look like they would fit but they all seem...

My PB100 had those same symptoms, logic board recap got it booting but then needed to recap the display to actually see something.

Sure thing. Yeah, @obsolete mentions this in their first post, switching the resistor config from x5 to x4 to not overclock the onboard 603ev on their 5400/200. On my 6360/160 I think I'll change it to x3.5, 175MHz, as 200MHz seem like it might be pushing it too far but I like the idea of...

My crystals arrived, ordered off eBay. Doing the trick @obsolete described as I could only find through-hole 50MHz crystals, I ordered some SMD 48MHz to cannibalize. Links below. Progression of stealing the plastic base from a SMD 48MHz crystal on the top and adding it to a through-hole 50MHz...

This is really cool! I'm thinking about trying this on my Performa 6360/160 and/or a 6400/? logic board I need to test... I think I get the resistor changes, restating: Remove the R95 2k Ohm resistor, marked "202" and add a 10k Ohm resistor, marked "103" to R94. (Neat SMD resistor...

I think what you are looking for is 2695 connector series terminals, described here but probably available through Mouser, etc: https://www.hoohawirecable.com/product/en/Product-molex-KK-2695-series-connector-custom-wire-harness-assembly.html This doc on the plastic part...

Yeah, mine is the combination of the best parts from two PB 150s… and reinforcing JB Weld epoxy around the standoffs…

Interesting, I never tried that since was able to find a CF card that the 150 format utility, "Internal HD Format", was able to work with: Transcend CompactFlash ULTRA 2GB Industrial I had first tried with 512MB SanDisk and 1GB Kingston neither of which would work with the utility although I...

I think these restore images are pretty cool. What did your retro Mac actually come from the factory with vs. the Legacy Restore CD that can just give you the base OS for your retro Mac? While perhaps less interesting then the "Restoration CD for Market Software Series", which I think is all...

I see the Volume 2 & 3 Restoration CDs for Market Software are on Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-restoration-cd-market-software-series-june-1994 @Realitystorm Sounds like you are saying you can't find Volume 6 anywhere but are any of the others available somewhere?

So I need to make a correction, the Ableconn mSata to IDE adapter does work in a Lombard! My mistake was not double checking the jumper, like many other Macs of this generation IDE hard disks need to be set to Master, which for this adapter is nothing connected/no jumpers on either 45-46 or...

Yeah, In my test above I clicked "Ignore" after inserting a blank CD-R into my USB attached Apple Super Drive before running that command in the Terminal app to burn the .toast file to CD. I think the "hdiutil" command line utility must look for an unmounted burnable CD in an attached CD-R/W...

On this advice I picked up this 16GB Yansen IDE SSD and it works well in my Lombard :) Thanks! Yansen 16GB 2.5-inch PATA/IDE 44-Pin SSD Solid State Disk (MLC Flash) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZWRJC72

Actually I can't seem to get Disk Utility (macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 on M1 MacBoon Pro) to open that image. Just a brief flash of something appearing and disappearing in the volumes list. :-/ However the command line tool still works: user_id@MacBook-Pro-M1 ~ % hdiutil burn...

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use Disk Utility on an Apple Silicon Mac to burn an ISO on a CD in a USB attached SuperDrive. Mac OS 9 cd images on Macintosh Garden

I guess we just need to agree to disagree

Why does it offend you so much that anyone could find this useful? I don't get it. I totally agree it's completely non-compliant with how Ethernet devices are required to have unique MAC address. And it's not like anyone is arguing that it would not be better if every unit had a unique MAC...
