Hello-- I was wondering if there was a way to get into the bios on these older orangepc cards. I think mine is a 210 based off of a conversation I had with another member. I have tried pressing random buttons while it is booting to see if it would say what keys are for the bios, but all it does...

Mine has an AM386SX, though its soldered directly to the board. I'm fairly certain mine can only take 8mb because the few times it booted with the 64mb of ram in it, it would get to 79XXkb before failing at address F300 along with a bunch of the text being garbled or missing (ram compatibility...

Gotcha. I looked through the manual for decent, and it says itll work on a 386-33 processor with 4mb of ram. How good it will run is a whole different question haha. Are ISA-to-PCI adapters a thing..? 

I tried with 2 of my 16mb sticks with no luck, so I went back to the 1mb of ram, How does graphics work on these cards? Is it integrated on the orangePC or does it use the mac hardware? I'd like to get interplay's decent 1 to run on the card. However seeing as it needs 3d acceleration, the...

Ahhh gotcha. I didn't grow up when these computers were around, so its news to me :) Now mine wont even load the orangepc program with 1*16mb stick in it. Is loading win 3.1 even possible with 1mb (700k useable) of ram? What can you do with 700k of ram..?

So, something I tried, my particular card has 4 of the 30pin ram slots, which are the same as the macintosh ram slots. I pulled 64mb from my q950 and popped it into the orangePC card, and while its doing the ram check. it usually fails around 79XXkb at address F300. Other times it will start to...

Well, that was a nightmare-- What i ended up doing was: extracting all the image files into a folder on my win10 computer zipped it downloaded maczip retrieved it on my q950 via fetch extracted the zipped file mounted the orangepc drive and copied everything over launched the freedos...

Bad news--tried the x86-BOOT image, and the floppyemu says its an unsupported image type :( edit: looking in the instructions for the emu, it may be because the images are of the DC63 variety. However, I have no way of checking this or converting it using the method in the instructions as I...

Are you referring to the boot floppy + cd rom option..? If so, that is what I am currently using. I am trying to get it to install the contents of the floppy image onto the hard drive so I dont have to go through the installer every time the computer boots up just to back out and get to the...

I dont think freedos will work. I do not own a CD drive for my q950, and freedos requires either a cd drive or a way to mount the iso within the mac os for it to install. I got it booted using their floppy image, but I think after it formats its looking for the cd image, and it aborts the...

bump-- anyone got a good guide on how to make a bootable dos floppy image?

Just need to make an edit, the floppy emu shows garbage on the third line, not the orange pc screen. Mac os can see the disk image fine, but not the card. Thoughts?

Question-- Got the orangePC app working. However, I cannot get a dos boot disk to work. I have tried several methods making a boot disk, but I keep getting "non-system disk or disk error, replace and press any key when ready", so I am unsure if it is me or the card, or maybe the program? I know...

Ahh, didn't think to try it with stuffit. I've never opened bin files on an old Mac before, hence my confusion. I've already got the files on my q950 using a local ftp server on my main windows desktop. Interestingly enough, when fetch retrieves the bigger of the two files, the system hangs...

Hello-- Finally got my orange PC card for my quadra 950. Just curious, is there a place where I can download the software to use my card? I downloaded the software from Macintosh garden, but it appears it's all .bin files.

I've read that too about the green hue disappearing once the extensions load on my Q950. However, I noticed if I use a newer LCD that has VGA, the green hue never goes away. I tried using two 15 year old LCD monitors and the green hue never shows up. I think it has to due with the sync-on-green...

bump?

Hello-- I've got a supermac thunder/24 in my Q950. I was wondering if someone would be willing to burn me a few rom chips with either the 3.0 or 3.1 rom. Mine currently has I believe the 1.601 rom (need to double check) and I'd like to get it up to the latest rom. I'd be willing to pay for the...

did you check the jumper setting on the SIMM? Thats the only thing I can think of for yours

Hello-- Awhile back, there was a seller on ebay selling NIB PowerPump overclock addon cards for the quadra family. I picked one up for my q950, installed it,  messed with it, then put the computer away for a few years after I broke the sd card hard drive. For those who don't know what this is...
