Good luck with your Harlequin 128K. New Spectrum ZX case/keyboard/membrane are available.

You will have to install drivers for the graphics card, depending if you are running OS9 or OSX.

Info on an ATX to 10 pin adapter for Macs https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/iici-etc-atx-to-10pin-adapter.43391/

OWC has sold external drives with FireWire/USB2/USB3 but they seems to be sold out in the US. There is a distributor in Europe that seems to have some stock https://www.megamac.com/products/owc-mercury-on-the-go-pro-2-5-ssd-hdd-enclosure-with-firewire-800-usb-3-0

Thanks for the info on SD cards. The first Raspberry Pi was released in February, 2012 and after selling millions of these SBC’s that use the micro SD card as primary storage - they’ve proven very reliable.

Looks good. I plan on getting one if the incompatibility with mechanical hard drive can be resolved. i like the Caymac Vintage logo - spent a week on vacation on Grand Cayman this year.

Macintosh Librarian released a video on her YouTube channel upgrading her Mac clone, installing a BlueSCSI and demoing the CD switcher

About two weeks ago, BlueSCSI released their CD Switcher program which is described by “This utility allows you eject and insert another CD. Place up to 100 images in a folder called CD3 (where 3 is the SCSI ID you wish to use) on the root of your SD card. When clicking “Switch” it will eject...

On Adrian’s Digital Basement YouTube channel, he recapped a Centris 610 about a week ago and today he posted a video on how he overclocked a Centris 610 just using parts he salvaged from other boards Very interesting. He also added a crystal to the Ethernet circuit, so it worked after...

The ATI Radeon 8500 and 9000 were the best cards for gaming IMHO. The Radeon 7000 was a low end gaming card. Note the fan on these cards get loud after 3-4 years, so you need to install a new one, which is a simple task. Ball bearing fans tend to last longer.

Remember your G4 only has a single CPU core - doing more than 1 thing at a time will slow it down. Wasn’t a problem back in the day, unless you were benchmarking. I think we’re all just spoiled when even a $50 Raspberry Pi computer has 4 64 bit CPU cores at 1.5 GHz or faster.

I’m pretty sure the retail OSX 10.4 Install was on a single DVD

I’m wondering if your Performa 6214 was involved in the Apple recall of certain Performa 62xx machines. Apple wrote a program to detect a defective cache on these machines, and OS8 would NOT install on these machines without the fix. See...

The Apple built graphics cards for that machine was a 32 MB ATI Radeon 7500, 64 MB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX, or 128 MB GeForce4 Ti. The GeForce4 MX was a good card - much better than the 16 MB ATI Rage Pro shipped in the prior generation G4 Digital Audio.

Nice computer. What video card is installed?

Or you could just use frogfind.com

OSX 10.4.x will bootup quicker after a couple of restarts. For some perspective on OS sizes, OSX 10.4.x takes up about a GB of hard drive space, while System 6.0.5 shipped on four 800K floppies.
