Ah, I don't have a method for it removal that does not include destroying the component! Maybe someone else knows. If you are attempting to overclock the machine I'd recommed just using the excellent software overclock INIT developed here...

I just did my LC475 last week which has the same "red glue" situation. This was my first logic board recap, and it was successful! Note that the logic board was in good shape with no obvious leakage so ymmv. Here is how I approached it: 1. instead of hot air, I twisted the capacitors off using...

I love these things! I am lucky to have two LC475s in working condition and they are a joy to work on. I made an overview of the various upgrades I've done to mine. - RAM might be too high, since it will increase the boot time unless you have a way to bypass the RAM check (think this needs a...

Got it working now! No idea why it didn't work earlier, just seemed like the setting wouldn't stick but it's happily cranking away at 40MHz under System 7.1 now (with appropriate System Enabler ofc)

I took apart a Quadra 950 (PSU dead, RIP) and salvaged the 33MHz 040. Runs great at 40MHz in my LC475 - awesome work! Only thing is I couldn't get it to work in System 7.1 so I'm on 7.5.3, might take another run at it since 7.1 on a 40MHz 040 would just be blazing fast 😍

Omg this would be just such a huge relief, I would gladly sacrifice my busted Quadras DA-15s to change out those terrible connectors 😀

I would love a solution for this. My ideal solution would be to remove the HDI-45 connector from the logic board and replace it with a DA-15 connector and be rid of those cursed objects forever 😄 but unfortunately I have no idea if that is feasible!

I had an issue with my DOS compatibility card where I had seated the 486 wrong, and the Quadra it was sitting in flatly refused to boot - it powered on but didn't POST. Once I fixed the 486, it booted no problem. It was a but tricky for me since the 486 doesn't have the "cut corner" to show how...

Thank you! I really don't like this trend in macOS and wish there was a general "I know what I'm doing"-setting, but at least there are (increasingly tedious) workarounds

It's a smaller one - S1911 I got for free from some guy who was giving it away, I guess because it's an older model (VGA and DVI inputs iirc). Think it's 5:4 not 4:3 since the native resolution is 1280 x 1024, but I like the squareness!

Haha I should try to get that off someday 😆

I have a white EIZO I use, I like it a lot! The design language isn't too far off, either 😄

Here's mine from my Q950 - key 030

I swapped in a Noctua NF-R8 redux for my Quadra 700 PSU and it works great! I just had to swap the black and red wires around and ignored the yellow completely 😄 This picture is from before the swap - top is the noctua, bottom is the original fan.

Congratulations on getting your 610 up and running! Mine is still refusing to output video 😅 For OS, it depends on what software you want to run - but I highly recommend 7.1 for 68k macs! It's a little more work to set up than 7.5, but it's super snappy and you can get 7.5.3-like compatibility...

Thank you! Now if the stars align I might some day put a 7100 logic board in a Quadra 700 case, upgrade it to G3, and have a G3 Quadra 700 🔥

Also - unless you bypass the RAM check on startup, starting up your mac can actually take quite a bit longer with more RAM as the system performs a full RAM test. I put 4x32MB in my Quadra 650 and it takes aages to boot now! I think it's maybe possible to bypass in System 7.5 and up if you hold...

I think the HPV cards are interchangeable between 6100/7100/8100 - I stuck my 8100 HPV card in my 6100 to verify that the 6100 was functioning, since I was selling it. Not pretty - it sticks out and you can't close the lid - but worked fine! This is the HPV from my 8100

Hi and welcome! For the BlueSCSI questions, this thread has a bunch of suggestions about how to use it for moving files between a modern machine and a BlueSCSI SD card, it's got a lot of neat things you can do. Please note that the OP wanted a solution that didn't involve running an emulator on...

I bought a PPC 6100 with DOS card - just for the DOS card! - which means I have a 6100 I don't plan to use. I want to sell it, but I don't have an adapter for the HDI-45 connector, so I have no idea if it works properly. Someone I'd bought some stuff from previously messaged me and said she was...
