I believe that model would need an LC-PDS video card, which personally I've found to be rare and few and far between. Plus, since most were aimed at 68030-era machines, I imagine they're probably not much faster than the 5200s native video. I might be wrong though, but hopefully someone with...

I know before the 9200 Mac Edition pci came out people were experimenting flashing the 9100 pci. I cant seem to find the cards anywhere, though. I imagine that you should be able to find a 7200 DDR PCI video card somewhere that should be a standard reference design.

So, I wanted to start playing back through some old Spiderweb games, namely the first of the Avernum games (I mostly played the Exile games back in the day but Avernum's isometric look is nicer). I have Sheepshaver set up with 8.6 on my Mini but I've ran into an odd issue, if anyone wants to...

Oh, I've actually seen those in machines on eBay beforfe. So, they very much existed but I've also heard they had "issues" and had compatibility problems (video cards didnt' work, etc.). Edit: Stargate Lives! Edit: I'm not sure where I heard of the compatibility issues. I honestly wonder...

They all generally made some neat machines. Most were just Tanzania clones, but still with neat additions or alterations. I don't think the memory is interleaved on those, so you do lose some performance . I'm not sure if I'm just parroting misinformation, but I do think the 60MHz bus did...

Some manner of... Processor Rating? The PowerPC 603e PR233. (joking)

Long story short... yes.

RAM can fail, yes, but a mandatory test every startup isn't necessary. It doesnt fail at that frequency. Thats like having to wait five minutes every time you start your car while it does diagnostics just because there's a possibility it might have a problem at some point. The main point...

To be honest, with a SDtoSCSI device, the 475 boots fairly quick. The memory test (at least with maxed ram in mine) is an entire minute of wondering if its testing the ram or simply not booting. The RAM test is nice but honestly kind of useless after the first time. I don't remember RAM...

Bot Invasion!! Whoop whoop whoop!

I'm pretty sure it needs 5V dimms, not 3.3v.

That's in my town here, Opelika. I've been meaning to go there one weekend and see where they got all these sonnet boards at. I don't know if they're prototype boards or just unpopulated production boards, or something. Weird that they got a bunch of them.

Ahhh, yeah that was real dirty not gonna lie. AI my butt, that was intentional as far as I'm concerned. I thought they might have just entered 3 instead of 1 in the quantity field but "Lot of 3" is three of them. If they decided to sell on the side, I'm pretty sure you can cancel an auction...

I'm unsure if eBay "takes" the money from the seller or they simply refunded you to solve the issue. So, the seller most likely retained what you paid. Like I said, I'm unsure. Just as an aside, did the auction/sale listing show three cards, or the quantity simply listed three?

I would definitely be interested in that. The Mac II was one of household computers back then and I would love to upgrade it.

Didn't want to bother making a whole forum post but does anyone know if the ixMicro Dual Display card required its own specific installer/drivers or did the usual Twin Turbo ones work on it? Trying to help someone on Reddit. Of course OWC is down, I think they still hosted old ixMicro installers.

Poor Next machines don't get much attention despite being 68K machines too and very Job-sian. Neat!

Yeah, my dad and me both had 1GHz GXed B&Ws. I don't remember doing a firmware update either and the boards were fairly simple. They didn't even bother putting any model numbers or anything on them. I think Mach Speed Tools could set the PLL on 750GXes and didn't get broken by the 10.4.9+...

From what I've heard, even the dual g4 zif that Daystar made didn't run in OS X as dual processor.
