It's really just for OS 9. I have no interest in Classic nor OSX. Gaming isn't even it's main purpose, but i thought it would be the most demanding application i would ever want to run. I want a fairly silent and reasonably fast OS9 box for the next two decades. The 1.25 MDD isn't my best...

Not bad. Not bad at all. ;D

I plan to use it for OS 9 gaming only. And i plan to get at least two, maybe even three. They would be put into storage when tricked out, to ripen for a decade or two. The MDD G4 seems to be the droid i am looking for. Would you say it's a particularly loud computer under load? I don't mind a...

Sorry, i'm afraid you have to use google for the main stuff. Did you see the references to the books at the end? That information would be first hand, and maybe the books are available in a (electronic) library.

Hear, hear!

The Atlas V is a Ultra 160 disk, i bet he had it on a Ultra2 SCSI interface. Problem is, these benchmarks don't say anything about random access times. Lets face it, if you don't read or write video or audio data, sustained read/write is a pretty useless metric.

I have no experience with newer Macs whatsoever. I have a Rev A iMac, but believe it's not enough to play modern, games that where available for the Mac OS 9. So here is my wishlist: should be as silent as possible should be able to play all games that came out, even later ones, within reason...

Some more adapters and their documentation: http://www.brix.de/computer/mac-vga-adapter.html

Paste the part that google translate can't solve, i'll translate it.

Is this the same board from the first post? Because if it is, it looks awesome! 8-o

Got another AAUI to TP Transceiver, for 1 Euro! [^] This one will meet it's maker, or better, it's demaker, at my tinkertable. The Idea is to reshape it into a tiny AAUI to WLAN Transceiver. If not tiny, then at least small. But for that i need another device which will set me back 30 Euros...

Thanks, i guess i'll get one or two then. |)

While feeding my demons and searching for p0rn of insects getting drunk on rotten fruit (i'm a complicated man, don't ask), i came across this page: http://www.ikasu.net/lombard/hdd/scsi/ It seems this particular gentleman was, some 11 years ago, highly interested in benchmarking of harddisks...

Gents, would this do the trick? http://www.ebay.de/itm/4MB-SGRAM-Video-SODIMM-Memory-Upgrade-/350213344883 He lists all sorts of iMacs, but not the 233 MHz Model i have. :?:

This is only a problem when you access both at the same time. If one is idle, it doesn't make a difference. IDE has a shared bus by design and just having a device connected doesn't waste any bandwidth on the bus.

Both, if possible. :approve: I know it's working perfectly fine on a Q650 board. It seems the 7100 isn't amongst the supported machines: http://www.netbsd.org/ports/macppc/models.html

True. I clean every piece of hardware by taking it apart. The plastic pieces get washed in soap water, logic/analog boards too if possible. I even clean fans. I just hate grime and filth. Not so if it's my own, which can be seen at the keyboard I'm currently using. But every keyboard and mouse...

It's not the hardware you should be concerned about, it's the state of a filesystem. 8-o If you just remove the power supply, your filesystem is in an undefined state. It might be that it's ok, it might be that there is a small error one can recover from, it might be that everything is just...

Add NetBSD into the mix and you have up to date software on awesome hardware in a nifty case. I would buy that. ;D

Yes, the grid mirror. |) I got that one too. When i clean it, i'll make pictures from the inside, because it's quite cool. If i remember correctly, the optical system contains two glas pearls and actual tiny mirrors. Also the PCB is quite a beauty. :-*
