    x86 card revival thread

    Even when I was a kid I loved these things. I was a dyed in the wool Mac user, but I had so many friends that played PC games that either took ages to be ported or never made their way to the Mac back in the day, and so nearly every Mac I ever owned as a teenager and through my early 20's had...

    x86 card revival thread

    Well, I stupidly missed out on an OrangePC 660 that I desperately wanted on eBay, but I did end up otherwise adding to my collection with an Apple 586 7" PCI card and an Apple Pentium (100 Mhz I think) 12" PCI card. That brings me to: Apple Houdini II 6100 PDS card (Intel 486 DX2 66) Apple 586...

    PowerMac G5 Quad "The New Blood Mod" - A guide to flushing, modifying and refilling the dual-pump cooling system.

    The cooling system in my Quad G5's cooling system doesn't look like this one. It's a liquid cooling system, but not with those big towers/reservoirs. :-/

    I guess we could always reprint our legitimate chips with the fake branding using whatever method the counterfeiters use to print legit branding on fake chips.

    I keep trying to find stickers and badges of that 040 branding style. The one that sticks out in my head is the black background, white text, and a red (I think) exclamation point. Sadly, I've not found any. I'd really love a little aluminum plate with that logo on it that I could affix to a...

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    I got through just over half the testing last weekend. I'll hopefully get through the rest this weekend.

    Is it possible to upgrade a eMac G4 CPU to a 2ghz G4?

    Interesting. I'd be curious what that takes to do and how reversible it is. Does the system actually detect the correct CPU speed?

    A 'once and for all' declaration regarding L88M mask MC68040 CPUs

    Looks like the number there is 02E31F.

    Is it possible to make a Sonnet HARMONi G4 500/FireWire?

    The RAM is easy to get to. The DVD & HDD can be gotten at, but it's annoyingly more involved than it seems like it should be. That said, I have the most top-tier eMac model Apple ever produced, and I can confirm it's a very nice and capable machine of that era. About the only way I think Apple...

    A 'once and for all' declaration regarding L88M mask MC68040 CPUs

    FWIW, my Interware Booster CL40-40 has an XC68040RC40 on it, and it's without a heatsink. Because it ends up positioned upsidedown over the original mainboard and a heatsink would create physical interference (not to mention get immediately thermally saturated anyway given the tight space and...

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    I'll be testing on a CRT that will do 1920x1200 or something like that. The problem is that legitimately high-res testing is challenging because most of the things being tested can't really do it, and they all fall apart at those high resolutions really. Just the overall low power of the whole...

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    I've wondered this too, but it would really surprise me if the cache controller allowed the RAM dedicated to the framebuffer to be cached.

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    FWIW, archive.org has no references archived for the PicklesXA thread. :-( I don't know if it's recoverable by any other means. Does anyone know if the site admins still have the backups from that time period?

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    I have a Thunder/24 w/ DSP upgrade that I'd LOVE to upgrade with some GWorld SIMMs, or see about having some fabricated, but I've never found any in the wild. Even inoperable ones.

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    Unfortunately, no. This thread was started during the window of time that was lost entirely, so it's gone. I will try to see if archive.org managed to capture any of it.

    What's the difference between the various Radius 24 cards?

    I need to test my Thunder/24 against my PicklesXA. Also, it's an incredible shame that the PicklesXA thread was lost to the outage. In that thread we: Identified the rare card. Tracked down its hardware designer in Japan. Brought him into the forum. Had him clarify the various differences...
