Anyone ever follow up "Henry" who got the other PEX board at the same time Hawaii Cruiser on AppleFritter got his: https://www.applefritter.com/comment/15142#comment-15142 Did some googling for kwikdeth and henry and got a climbing YouTube - but the person might be gone from this world, if it's...

@trag I'm pretty sure it worked before I updated the PLCC ROM code - as well as after - but not 100%.

Hello Everyone! Thanks for @trag and all getting back on this. First, I cannot believe I've not contributed to this specific ROM thread in the past! I'll address that now! Also, just to connect the last info and work on my PEX board I did (https://www.applefritter.com/node/23597) (nb this...

Hi, I've tried the rom verification utitlity but no luck - it reports ROM checksum error and also unindentified rom (although that's not surprising, as the 9700 is not on the list.!) I've also compared all the ROM dumps I have using FileBuddy. There are 3 for each utility. Each utility's ROM...

Hi, I thought we could use this new thread to cover info about the PowerExpress 9700 prototype powermac and efforts to get them booting. Past information to getting mine to boot is on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9297 and over at applefritter: http://www.applefritter.com/node/23597...

Hi, I've done a comprehensive dump of the ROM SIMM using 3 different utiltiies and 3 times per utility. I tried copy rom, but this didn't launch properly. I've also included a report from TattleTech about the ROM SIMM and the Apple System Profiler report. Interestingly, the Tattletech report...

Hi 'Dennis Nedry', Hope you're well. I was wondering if you could post/e-mail me the de-interleaved rom file for the Power Express 9700 as the old link isn't working at the moment. Many thanks, James.

Fascinating - my other half doesn't like this startup tone - says it creeps her out! Do you happen to have a link to an audio press release of Gil Amelio - I've tried Google but to no avail.

Hi, I would try pressing the CUDA reset button on the 8500 (small grey button in a silver square mount just above the top PCI slot, see image below) and re-seating the processor card (You will have to remove the processor card in order to access the CUDA button). If you're using a PCI video...

Yes - I bought a tape of 10 same model AMD FLash chips to ue to duplicate the flash dumps on - will be doing this and testing them soon. I will try to duplicate the rom simm - or design one which has removal flash chips for the rom simm socket. Somone on the applefritter forums already has pcb...

Right, I think I've got a proper dump this time - selected the slowest speed and it worked fine for the even ROM chip and was a bit more flakey on the odd ROM chip - but eventually got a successful ID check, read and verify. The latest dump is here...

A couple of things I'll try tonight are the tips in this forum about seating the device, as one of the problems with the Digibarn chips is getting the Device ID recognised: http://www.mcumall.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1568&SearchTerms=am29f040 The forum post also confirms that the...

My theory is that the flash chips contain open firmware (OF) and the very low-level code to get the machine to load up OF. This is why the OF version changes when I've put the Digibarn flash chips into the motherboard. As the ROM SIMM is only 3MB I think this doesn't contain any OF. On...

For reference I'm using this USB-based programmer/dumper: http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4225 with this PLLC32 adaptor http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3104. The second alternate dump I did was using this adaptor...

The PEX ROM SIMM dump was generated by booting into OS 9 - apologies for not stating this. Only the 3MB is recognised - the 1mb on the flash chips doesn't seem to be counted,

Hi, I've re-dumped them using a different PLLC32 adaptor and uploaded them to: http://www.jkalittle.co.uk/jkalittle.co.uk/OF2_3_dump2.zip Please let me know if these files are fixed. James.

Hi - Thanks for extracting the sounds. I've re-extracted the Digibarn chips and uploaded with the same file name - so please re-download.

I thought I'd heard the unusual second boot sound the PEX makes - it's the same as the one that had been previously uncovered by Applefritter members: http://www.applefritter.com/node/3376

:) Ah - I see it now - was just thinking it looked a bit smaller/thinner than the 9600. Oops!
