This fella came in yesterday. Let’s give it a spin

Our thrift stores here in the north Florida are have been pretty decent in mid 2000s parts. Haven’t gone in for a hot minute so hopefully when I do, I can grab an new one.

Great to know! If I can help in any way to port GCC 10. Let me know as it would be realllllly useful! ;)

Ah, nice to know. Thanks again!

Figure i'd ask here since I have A/UX on a quadra, Has anyone gotten gcc (GNU C compiler) fully installed and setup on A/UX? If so, please tell me how you did it. I'd like to add some other newer GNU stuff like sudo or bash but they require gcc to compile them. It's been quite some fun trying...

This may be a near future purchase for me. A/UX works, but the thrift stores near me have some “nicer” old monitors. I’ll most likely then look at some of them so I can enjoy the experience a little more. If not, I may go with the an Extron Scaler. I’ll tell you though, trying to setup gcc so I...

Hmmm. Didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know!

Yep. Dug a little deeper and found out that my wonderfully ancient Acer monitor can’t do 1152*870. Plus the onboard graphics can’t show millions at the resolution. $26 was nice grab and I’ll hopefully have it next week.

This is what I had my eyes set on. It’s Better than 800*600  https://www.ebay.com/itm/SuperMac-Spectrum-24-Series-III-Nubus-video-card-for-Macintosh-II-Quadra/184402219381

After selling my 610. I was determined to get a machine to run A/UX 3.1 get up and running. Well, few hours later I found this guy for a real steal and got it yesterday. One install and some ram configuration later, this Quadra is a screamer! Hope to find a good nubus graphics card for it to...

Oh score! I didn’t know after dealing with much trouble with a Quadra 610. 

Hey everyone!  I recently got a hold of a Quadra 650 and need to change its caps asap. Does anyone know which caps are needed for it? I'm going with tantalum caps but cant seem to find any reference on what voltage or capacitance they need to be.

Found a working cable, no dice. Still have no drives.

I’ll give that a shot. I have a second scsi cable so let’s see what happens

Florida. Also wow had no idea the resistance would matter to that degree.

I just tested them and they're around 8 MΩ. uxcell doesn't have them listed either. I don’t use the multimeter a lot so please tell me if I really mess up on that. I've got the amazon link here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N412RLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used 16v 47μf caps for all of them

Alright, round 2!  Bit of an update: After much time and sparks, the Q610 is recapped. After following the idea of cleaning the cap areas and setting the termination jumpers correctly (HDD=0, CD = 3), i'm still stuck. No drives show and scsiprobe show the bus still as not terminated.  Can...

Yeah. That did it. Still am having issues with SCSI though. Good news is that it boots and doesn't catch on fire. Now to find out why the SCSI doesn't work.

So I just redid that capacitor (thank god there was still some of the pad left) and while it doesn’t blow up, I get no boot up chime or activity from the floppy drive. Where should I begin to look next?
