Heyo, So sorry for the delay on updating the testing with the network card. It seems that the changes you did indeed does cause Windows NT to detect the card and allow me to add it as a valid adapter. However, it does not seem to be able to -use- the card. It posts an event saying "A Device...

Oooh cool, will be awesome to see this work! Thank you again! :D Man, it's definitely a shame that NT4 didn't have any PPC PCI sound driver sorted. Otherwise we'd be mostly set with the essentials!

Looks like the PCI bus isn't working fully in NT. I've tried both a 3C905 and a 3C595 both of which have drivers but alas it reports 'Network card is not present in the system'. I'm not aware of any specific tools that allow me to probe the bus in NT4 PPC so I can't really provide more info than...

Absolutely that'd be pretty sick! The ideal situation would be to use the built-in sound, but failing that, SB Live PCI cards are plentiful! :) I also have tried grabbing a 3C595 for like $12 off eBay, that seems to have a NT4 PPC driver. Will report back once it arrives!

Random thought but we've got the Kx Audio Driver which appears to add support to Mac OS X PPC/Intel for Creative Soundblaster Live PCI cards, I'm wondering, and please forgive me for being completely ignorant here on the NT4 driver model, but what the feasibility might be on using this as a...

I think I might have one in one of my Alpha boxes which I might be able to borrow. EDIT: Nevermind, it's an EISA card, so that's a no go. D:

Ohooo, Okay I have a tonne of PCI cards. Hold my beer haha. Ahh, had a bit of a dumb brain moment. We're gonna need hardware that has NT4 PPC driver support, that is going to be a very small list ugh.

Dualboot with 3.51 works great on my G4 upgraded B&W, a G4 on such an old OS is ridiculous haha. By the way, I note that there is driver support for the Grackle PCI bus? Does that mean theoretically we could install PCI cards that have NT driver support in our G3/G4 towers and have them work...

Has anyone tried running this on a G4? The Github suggests that NT4 should be okay with a G4 CPU but my experience says otherwise...possibly when trying to do this on my G4-upgraded B&W. Sadly I don't have the original CPU to test with. :c This shows up almost immediately when the text-based...

I've got a dead one of these too, I'm interested to see if the recap works out for yours! Best of luck with it and thank you for providing a parts list!

I had a similar issue with mine, it turned out to be a dead CPU Card, mine was a Kansas too.

I mean, I’ve been in this game for 20 years at least, but this one was a bit wild. Usually there is at least some rhyme or reason even if not initially apparent, this one…man, it took the biscuit. I will say, it started acting up immediately after I configured a 10GB image for use as drive D...

Uhm...so out of nowhere the card decided to start working again?! Literally I've done nothing. Friday and Saturday, it didn't work. On a whim tried it today and it did?

No additional video RAM. I’ve De-Oxited the RAM slot and PCI slot to no avail sadly.

Hey folks, I've got a 820-0720-B Pentium PCI Compatibility card, I believe it's the 100Mhz model. I've been using it flawlessly in my Power Mac 4400 via the GIMO slot for the last few months. Out of nowhere today when I went to boot it up it gave me a couple of short beeps and didn't respond. I...

Please add pictures for sure, we never see enough of the ANS's!

IIfx board purchased from @joshc works! Apparently J103 needed to be closed? I've no idea why or what it even does but hey, I'll take the win

I appreciate the honest reply and that you're keen to preserve it for the future too. Thank you for your efforts, I hope to catch one on a future run that you might do, that being said I think I just fixed the IIfx that I would've needed it for. I may be good, for now! xD

Could I politely ask why you are not able to do so at the moment? There's a tonne of dead Macs out there and while I've gotten somewhat able to probe these things via the diagnostic mode and serial, it'd be far more helpful in repairing these machines and ultimately preserving them with a...

I got a question regarding how the power switch is supposed to work. My IIfx will power up properly from the Keyboard and rear switch, and it will shut down if specified in the Finder. However pressing the power switch while it is powered up will not do anything. As I haven't encountered a fully...
