    IIgs RAM Expansion Preventing Boot?

    Would a video help? Just to make sure I'm describing the sound correctly as a chirp? What would be the test points on the board and card that I would need to probe? There isn't any visual short - no whiskers on the solder joints, no errant solder paste, no loose traces. I can tell you the front...

    IIgs RAM Expansion Preventing Boot?

    As another data point, I ran the self-test (Ctrl-Open-Closed-Reset or whatever equivalent in my AEK II) and got the following: (SYSTEM BAD    09010001) which i I believe can be traced to (among other things) insufficient voltage.this after I took apart and cleaned the board (and I have that...

    IIgs RAM Expansion Preventing Boot?

    I'll need to check tonight! No, I hadn't recapped it yet and hadn't considered that a high priority since the RAM card did work at one point, and when it ceased to work I immediately blamed the stock PSU. Any one in particular I should start looking at, on the off change it's a 47uF that I have...

    IIgs RAM Expansion Preventing Boot?

    So in between working on our A/UX imaging project, trying to work through some Q950 issues and (on the side) my new SGI O2... I have a IIgs that I got in trade about six months ago that’s pretty much sat the whole time.  It’s a ROM 01 unit. MicroDrive CF card w/ 512 MB CF ByteBoosters 4...

    Quadra 950 PSU died... <cry>

    Yeoman's work. I enjoyed reading your walkthrough and am assessing my ability to grab an ATX PSU and try it myself. When do you expect to be able to start whittling down your to-do list? the PCB to continue using the (up to 4) 4-pin power connectors? the soft-power circuit a temperature...

    Two SE/30 motherboards in need of repair

    God, what an ordeal. You have much, much more patience than I... I would have been conscious of the PayPal money-back guarantee/dispute window and (if needed) bank/credit card policy... giving the seller a reasonable amount of time to at least respond and be on notice before pulling the trigger...

    Modern PSU for the SE/30

    The horizontal lines by themselves don’t seem to be a problem. I was using a ROM-inator in my SE/30 to bypass the memory check and ended up swapping out that code for the Turbo 040 driver (since I couldn’t figure out how to get both). The first think I noticed was the horizontal lines and wow...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    I think we're at the point where 8 GB cards are virtually inexpensive enough to pick up by the handful. Not being able to find any 8's at Best Buy this weekend, I spent less than $30 for TWO 32GB cards and I didn't even check Amazon. Sure, 4 GB cards will work but I just don't see a lot of them...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    The image we've created is approximately 7 GB - 2 GB for the MacPartition (for bootstrapping) and main A/UX slices, and 5 GB for the Jagubox mirror and other preinstalled/updated binaries mounted as /opt. We recommend writing to an 8 GB card; doing so will leave some space at the end, to be...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    This is pretty much how I had one of my cards:  the A/UX slices on ID 0, System 7.6.1 on ID 1, Mac OS 8.1 &amp; 8.5 on ID 2 and a standalone "Apps" partition on ID 3. At some point I had an Emergency boot partition sharing Apps just in case the MacPartition got messed up (and it was a quick way...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    Even if it's not visible from within A/UX, you should at least be able to restart into the System 7.0.1 MacPartition and change the Startup Disk from there (I agree that a drive larger than 2 GB or formatted with a 3rd-party tool w/ its own driver like FWB might not mount in A/UX).  Now, if you...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    Now... @unxmaal thinks I'm defeating the purpose of even having A/UX installed but I do have 7.6.1 and 8.1 installed on separate partitions (as defined in scsi2sd-util). It's been handy for troubleshooting network or peripherals, and to me has a little value. But even then I agree that having...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    I see your point... my thought is that there is some base compatibility, just like the SCSI2SD doesn't require drivers, per se (once you set termination and some of the low-level options in the utility)? Just like display cards (like my way-overkill SuperMac Thunder/24) work at certain...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    Awesome. We're grateful for any interest, to the extent that it gives us more test cases. We have a "product backlog" of sorts with to-do items but the 0.3a release can be considered minimally viable and certainly enough to put it through its paces (to see what breaks). Tagging...

    PowerBook G3 (Pismo) with Wegener G4 - having issues

    Did you reflow the entire daughtercard or a specific area on the backside? I have a hot air rework station so this should be a piece of cake at lower temps.

    PowerBook G3 (Pismo) with Wegener G4 - having issues

    Basically, title. Got a couple of G3s a few months ago. One of them in great shape, 512 MB RAM, PCMCIA 802.11n card (although it only works under OS X) and a rare Wegener Media G4 at 550 MHz. The daughter card looks just like a stock one but apparently the folks over at Wegener grafted on a G4...

    PowerBook 1400 CD ROM

    @AlpineRaven Do you want to sell one or two of them? If for no other reason, I want to get rid of the gaping hole on the front of the two I have :)

    Complete TechStep

    I haven't been able to find a manual for my Snooper card (and I half-expected there to be some synergy/special functionality when running the Snooper application/test suite). My card has an ADB port that I thought I might be able to use to bypass the onboard bus on the one 700 I have where the...

    3D-Printed Objects

    That's a good move. I don't have the 5-bay drive cage from the AWS95, but I do have a SCSI2SD in mine, so I just used Velcro tape on top of the rear bracket that slides forward (where you move the HD to). Make sure you include the Shapeway options you selected when you post pics :)  I think...
