I've got a Mac IIci board that has had a couple of problems, over the last year: 1) the board is mute 2) the board powers off, after approximately 30 minutes of use I fixed the first problem by replacing all the capacitors in the sound section of the board, this weekend. Thank much to trag...

Has anyone managed to track down the drivers for the OrangePC 290 card? I've been looking quite a bit, but I can't find anything. Thanks! - Alex

AFAIK, the only reason is because 1024x768 (XGA) is not a traditional 68k Mac resolution. It is amusing, though, that 1024x768 is exactly 2x the classic Macs' 512x384 resolution. - Alex

I use an HP L2025 (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11484_na/11484_na.html), and it looks pretty darned good at 832x624, and 1152x870. This is a 20" LCD, 4x3 aspect ratio, that has a native resolution of 1600x1200. The only standard Mac resolution that it won't do is 640x480@66Hz...

Trash's Radius/KDS suggestion got me looking at other monitors that claim Mac support, and I noticed that my HP 2025 supports 832 x 624 @ 75 Hz and 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11484_div/11484_div.html I'll have to see if I can get my current 8- or 10-...

Thanks, Trash. That reason is why I have the NEC MultiSync 1980sx, as it's manual implied that it was truly a multisynchronous LCD, and should then sync to any source, within the possible clocks of the panel. However, I've found that not to be the case. I'll start looking for a KDS/Radius...

Has anyone ever tried to put together a reference to what modern LCD monitors are capable of syncing with 68k Macs? Every time that I set up one of my older machines (except for my IIci and IIx, which have really nice NuBus graphics cards), I fight to find a resolution that I can get to sync...

Byrd, Well, the one interesting thing that tends to point otherwise is the fact that my 520c also has issues, using the same 2 CPU modules. With the 68LC040, the 520 boots fine with no memory card installed. However, install any of the 3 cards that I have, and the hard drive spins up, the...

Interesting...after cleaning contacts, the 8mb RAM card does post, but reports the same memory errors as the two 32mb cards. Interestingly, if I put the 68040LC back in, none of the RAM cards will allow the machine to POST. The machine does boot fine, however, with no added RAM card. Sound...

I've got a PowerBook 540c that I'm having fits with. I have 3 different RAM cards for it: a 32mb card, a 32mb card, and an 8mb card. The 8mb card causes the machine to not POST, even preventing any sort of startup chime. The 2 32mb cards at least allow the machine to boot, and start the...

I do agree that SCSI compatibility should be universal, but, especially with first generation SCSI-2 devices, like the 53c94, it definitely is not. As annoying as the failure is, it would be asking a lot to expect Acard to test with an SE/30. However, it is annoying that they didn't offer a...

Well, electrically, it will work fine, with an SCA -> 40pin SCSI adapter. I've never seen such a beast, but you could make it work with an SCA -> 50pin adapter, and a 50 -> 40pin adapter. However, that's not going to fit inside of a PowerBook. I suggest a 2.5" SCSI -> IDE bridge...

Really great work...truly emulating a drive at the fundamental level will be of great use the whole vintage Mac community, especially as 1.44mb disks become more and more unreliable. I know that my "new" 3,5" floppies are a lot less reliable than the ones I bought in the 90s were. Would you...

Yeah, I had a feeling it was that. My IIx suffers from a similar issue, but it turns off much more quickly. Would you be willing to share the name of the MLA member who is recapping yours? I'd love to pay someone to recap my two boards. Thanks! - Alex

Going back to the original topic of this thread, I think that a G4 can be a _very_ usable daily-driver machine. It's all in what you expect, as several previous posters have commented. I, personally, have a G4 cube, with 1.5gb of RAM, a 250gb IDE HDD, and a 1.5gHz 7447 G4, and a GeForce 6200...

So, I seem to have the common IIci issue of the machine spontaneously shutting down. Mine is configured, as follows: System 7.5.5 128mb RAM 2gb Quantum Grand Prix 7200rpm Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24x AsanteFast 10/100 FWB JackHammer, currently connected to nothing I had assumed that the...

It seems like it'd be an awful lot of work to re-implement something that has been done well, several times, already. For instance, http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/. HxC has an excellent SD floppy emulator that works on a bunch of platforms. It'd probably be straight forward to...

Yes, they do accept orders, in English. The site is definitely readable, when run through Google translate, BTW. - Alex

I have ordered several of the 2.5" to CF card adapters, from Artmix. I'm expecting them sometime, in the next few weeks. I was told that my order will come from production samples, and that full production should commence soon, after, so hopefully the price will come down. Indeed, $129 USD is...

I have a IIx that I have been restoring to working order, and it's mostly working well. I've got it currently configured, as follows: 8mb RAM 9gb UW SCSI Seagate Barracuda Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X FWB JackHammer Radius Rocket 33 w/8mb ProAudio Spectrum Mac I'm pretty happy to have...
