For context for anyone else coming by this thread, the one-slot riser in place in the 6360 The dual-slot and single-slot risers together: The two slot in place in a couple of views: If you were prepared to do some case surgery and lose the TV connector slot and the internal video...

The electrical compatibility is certainly good, my 6360 board worked here in my 6400 (with the dual slot riser) fine when I stole the 6400's faster board (actually from a 6500) to pep up the 6360 :) . Whether the power supply in the 6360 can handle the two cards you'd like to use may be...

No other place for it than in one of the quintuplets!

It does ID as what it is in Monitors. 

A convo in IRC has reminded me this card exists (and that I have one) - it was built by Focus Enhancements in 1994, and is a 3MB graphics card for LCPDS and LC-Compatible PDS slot Macs. Gives 1152x870 resolution with bucketloads of colours,  I've never been able to find a driver that works with...

There's an option in the Memory control panel on some machines that allows you to disable the ram test on startup. Helps with Q950s that have a full complement of RAM. https://happymacs.wordpress.com/2015/01/30/speed-up-mac-os-boot-time-turn-off-ram-tests/ shows how to do it in 9, It may be the...

I can't remember the details of space on a minimal system disk on floppy, but if you could strip the floppy down a little further and just fit the Memory control panel on, then you shouldn't need the Startup Disk control panel - when the RAM Disk is left as the only bootable device the Quadra...

It's software, created by making a RAM Disk with the control panel as above - No separate hardware device I just did this here: 1. Created a RAM Disk through the Memory control panel (50MB was fine) 2. Copied across a system folder into the RAM disk (I left out things like Preferences...

Your 'if' there isn't a correct assumption - RAM Disks are bootable. You boot off a RAM disk by putting a blessed system folder on it and selecting it in the Startup Disk control panel.

Any chance you could take a reasonably  close-up photo of what the various fonts look like on your display? Plenty of us have literal decades of experience with what classic OS displays should look like, and would be able to spot the issue visually more easily than via a description.

For amusement:

I can't see any reason why not - looks like those are just 1mm higher (which would make them fit the space a little better than mine) - though they have really rounded corners. http://www.amazon.com/white-labels-disks-5925-LASER/dp/B004Q23AY6 If you scale mine up about 1% they should cover the...

Sure thing. The labels, set up for 60x50mm. I've yet to do an 8.1, 8.6 or 9.x though. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5334905/Zip%20labels%20608%2071%20753.pdf And the single zip jewel case insert; print and score/fold on the dotted lines. I used a 200gsm satin, though 170 would work a...

Perhaps not so useful or reliable at the time, but putting fresh installs with installer images of the old OSs on zip disks (or other removable storage) when you have a couple hundred zip disks and a bunch of drives laying around is *really* convenient. Working in print helps too, to give it a...

Well hah, don't I feel daft. I've been using recently it but missed that view. Thanks!

I used to use it plenty, but the name has completely vacated my memory:

I took a closer peek at that bit, looked like it said 7QD-B instead of 700 - it was a google search for 7QD Quadra that lead me to https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-mac68k/2005/09/26/0001.htmlwhich gave me the name of the thing!

A little more hunting reveals it's a Newer Technologies Quadra Overdrive (hence the QOD). https://picasaweb.google.com/kreats/NewerTechMacUpgradeshas a few different kinds. Yours is a DT166C which lines up with that page's pictures 10 and 11, for a Quadra 900.

The FCCID reveals it's a Newer device indeed: https://fccid.io/JTGQOD

365tomorrows.com works well for the most part, too (been reading this on my 605 w/7.5.3)
