    MDD Power Supply options

    After replacing two stock PS's in my Dual 1.25 MDD I installed an ATX PS. It's been working great for several years.

    Macintosh, Lisa, and IIGS Dealer and Developer Floppy Disk trove

    What a great trove! Especially the Lisa/XL disks. Quickmail, that takes me back. I still have work emails from the mid '90's in QM format. I don't know know why.

    Apple PowerCD issues

    I believe the base base part does. The original PS's for these were 10v 1a.

    Porting LinuxDoom to System 7 (or trying to) - progress and questions

    I remember Doom II ran great on my 840av Quadra. With the Simpsons mod it was absolutely hilarious!

    Macintosh XL, anybody?

    I have one. I did a thread about it when I refurbed it back in ~2018. I never did get the floppy drive to work.

    New version of Tetris Max

    Back in the mid 90's when I was working weekend night shifts at Motorola I spent hours playing TM on the SE's and IIci's we had in the office.

    Interesting short documentary about the Lisa.

    Don't know if this has been posted before. Tells the story of the ill-fated Lisa.

    Local estate find in San Diego

    Good God! Hopefully the family will have the time, resources, and willingness to properly sort through all that and get some of it sold off properly. I'm sure ~90% will be sold by the pound but hopefully they can see some profit from the remaining 10%.

    Connect Profile HD to Mac Plus?

    I'd like that too. :) I've done a bit of searching but found no good leads. I figure if it can be done some one here will know how.

    Connect Profile HD to Mac Plus?

    So I have a Profile HD that I use to run my Sun Rem Lisa 2. Is there a way to connect the Profile drive to my Mac Plus and read/write to the Profile drive? The Profile drive is parallel I believe so I need a Parallel to scsi or parallel to serial adapter?

    Reproducing the Lisa 2 Card Stack: The CPU Card

    Very ambitious project! I hope the CPU card goes well.

    iBook Clamshell - Only Detecting 64MB of 512MB RAM Stick?

    Does the iBook have the latest firmware? Might try resetting the PRAM as well.

    What is the SWIM PIC?

    That made me laugh! From Wikipedia: "A/ROSE is infamous for its esoteric purpose, which is generally not understood by Mac end users, as well as for causing many Mac emulators, such as Basilisk II, to produce a system error at boot time." I think in all the years I've used Macs I only ran...

    does anyone make a atx to MDD converter

    Thanks, back in the day I had it loaded up with four HD's and two optical drives. No wonder the original PS gave out. (twice) I pulled out two of the HD's and an optical drive after the second OEM PS died. It's a dual 1.25ghz system. My intention was to over clock it to 1.42 but I never got...

    does anyone make a atx to MDD converter

    I did the ATX power supply swap on my MDD a few years back. I got a molex pin extraction tool and swapped the pins in just a few minutes. I used an ATX PS extension cable to route the lines behind the optical drives and clear the full-length nvidia card. The PS is held up with a couple of sheet...

    Mystery PCI card in a PM7500

    Looks like it drove an Agfa image setter. Just casually googling around, seems like there might still be a (small) market for these. You should a bit more research before you declare it worthless.

    Full 68040

    (Oh, yeah, ^^^^^what he said.^^^^^^) Hmm looks like at some point they made some 182 pin versions as opposed to the more common 179 pin packages.

    ’03 MDD 1.25GHz SP FW400 - No load or boot of OS 9

    You are correct. I misread that portion.

    ’03 MDD 1.25GHz SP FW400 - No load or boot of OS 9

    I ran your serial number over here and got this. https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1.25_mdd.html Your system may have the same board but different firmware or the description of the system capabilities is incorrect from one of those sources.

    ’03 MDD 1.25GHz SP FW400 - No load or boot of OS 9

    Based on the serial number I believe this model will only run OS9 in the "classic" environment. i.e within OSX. (Tiger) This is the "rereleased" G4 version that Apple sold for a while after people complained about dropping OS9 support.
