    Holy Moly SCSI->IDE 2.5 Adapter

    I have one (the second version) in a 540c (updated with a PPC 603ev/133). I tried to replace the IDE hard drive (3.25Go IBM Travelstar) by a CF with an adapter, but without success... On top : ATDX card + IBM Travelstar, and just below the original drive : The ATDX card :

    It seems Sonnet has made Crescendo G4/360 card for PPC Nubus Mac (6100/7100/8100), see the pdf in my post, and here: https://web.archive.org/web/20000303214808/http://www.sonnettech.com:80/news/pr120399_nubus.html...

    Unusual questions about PDS G3 upgrades for 6/7/8100

    Sonnet offered the same card (with a G3 or G4) for the 6100/7100/8100 with HPV or without. The caddy and the optional cable were only used for the 7100/8100. NewerTech offered 2 cards, one for the 6100 (smaller) with a connector for HPV : (picture come from one for sale on eBay) I...

    Unusual questions about PDS G3 upgrades for 6/7/8100

    I'm not sure it will help you. I installed several NewerTech cards in 7100s when they were released. The problem with this card is that the ribbon is soldered to the card and much stiffer (and shorter) than the Sonneth card. After several manipulations, they all ended up breaking and...

    For a 3400, using a Compact Flash is simpler. Larger capacity and much quieter.

    Macintosh SE Accelerator PDS Add-on Cards

    Have the same. I tried to plug a VGA LCD monitor (which works very well on all my Mac) I can move cursor and window on the second screen but I don't have picture. I think you are right, it is not compatible, with the first option (Mobius One Page SE) on my LCD monitor, which detect a signal...

    Performa 275 Won't Boot From HDD With AppleSC CD Drive Plugged In?

    Not sure if it is the same problem, but I had that with my AppleCD SC Plus. The disc is ejected after a few read attempts. The problem comes from leaky capacitors. I found these information very useful : http://www.asterontech.com/Asterontech/next_cdrom_refurb.html But I don't know is the...

    Macintosh SE Accelerator PDS Add-on Cards

    Thank you for the picture of the cable. The output video connector is a male DB9... not usual. It seems the information in the website http://tamaru.world.coocan.jp/Tips/PoweredSE/PoweredSE.html are right. But I tried to make a cable to VGA monitor without success ... may be the monitor is...

    Macintosh SE Accelerator PDS Add-on Cards

    The first is a Mobius 030 card. I have one which works well now. I think that a missing oscillator on my card is only necessary to use a FPU at 20Mhz. See the jumper next to it. Driver : http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/accel.shtml Virtual software to take into account extra RAM on the...

    An idea of how much things cost

    My first Mac (Mac II 1/40) bought new in 88 cost 43,800 French Franc at this date (w/t screen, video card, keyboard...), about 60,000 Frs (2/40 +screen 13" +video card 256c + Keyboard... ) About 15,000€/18,000$ today ! I did not keep the bill, but I still have the 88 price list... and the Mac...

    Performa 6200 and 5400 Mother Board.

    Thank you for your help, it was indeed a problem with the 3.3v missing from the PSU. With the information from powercc.org/takky/, I added a 3.3v regulator directly in the PSU. I added a wire in the connector at the free place (PSU side. Harness side the wire was already in place), and a TSR...

    Performa 6200 and 5400 Mother Board.

    It's strange in fact. I have also a 5500 (with a Crescendo G3/400 L2) : When I put the 5500 MB in the 6200 case, it works fine !! When I put the 5400 MB in the 5500 case, it works fine too, but not in the 6200 case  8-o I think it's a problem with the 5400 MB, but I don't know why... The...

    Performa 6200 and 5400 Mother Board.

    Hello, I was given a PowerMac 5400, all plastic case are broken (may be it fell...) but it still works :-) I already have two Performa 6200, one works well but an other without mother board (battery leak). My first idea was to put the 5400 MoBo in the 6200 case (same size, same connector)...

    You need to open the PowerBook (remove battery, 4 screw below, one behind, and remove the ribbon from the screen). The battery is soldered on the interconnect board (you need to remove the board). Battery # VL-2320

    Turbo SE accelerator

    I have exactly the same card in one of my SE, but without appropriate driver too  :-( There are several jumpers on the card, with explanation on the back (I tried many configurations to test...) It works very well, but It seems the copro is not used (may be a patch is necessary...) In...

    Mac SE accelerator card

    Yes, I found Mobius driver at this place. And Compact Virtual here : http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/71more.html And that works very well now :-)   The problem was about french localisation of System 7. With System 7.0.1 US all is OK, with Mobius driver and with Compact Virtual loaded...
