Okay, I skimmed through the Garble-translated Japanese RaSCSI page, but I can't see how they're achieving that.  Are they running some real-time lib alongside Linux? /edit/ Appears not, if I'm reading this right ... which suggests a possible path to speed improvements.  

The Pi Compute Module is now up to speed with the current full size Pis, and tiny.  It'd require a different board layout altogether with the DIMM-style module slot and possibly other support gubbins, like USB and Ethernet if you want to use those.  But with Bluetooth and Wifi on board, maybe...

Related, the aforementioned TerribleFire is on github.  68030, 68882, and Compact Flash.  

  This pinged a flag bit in my memory.  I'm almost certain I've seen that article.  I'll do some hunting and post what I can find. Brief description of the accelerator here More extensive article here (de).  This company used to sell these upgrades for Ataris.  I'm working through the...

You'd think, right?  Rare as hen's teeth around here, and they go for a packet when they do appear.

You mean Danamania's Quadra 805?   See also:  Mac IIbx, Quadra 400, and the Quadra-ish SCSI tower.

While we're in the realm of wild guesses and tilting at windmills... What (roughly) would be involved in implementing fast RAM or cache onboard the adapter?

Congratulations to everyone involved.  Put me down for a dozen ^_^

http://ifixit.com - doesn't have every Mac ever, but the teardown guides it does have are clear and easy to follow.

everymac.com has a tool for identifying your machine from its serial number

Just for future reference, none of the USB or PCI serial port devices will work with MIDI adapters, nor with LocalTalk/Appletalk.

Very nice collection there.  

I notice that Netsurf is available for Amiga and Atari, which suggests (perhaps) that it's been built to 68k already.  And it has HTTPS amongst other goodies.  The ad blocker in particular would ease the strain on low-end machines.  

Thanks TechEdison - I've added a link to this thread at the end of the older pinned one.

TechEdison has created some updated (2018) instructions for this method:  

My favourite bridge machines are the aforementioned Beige G3s, or if space is a concern, the Wallstreet Powerbooks, with Cardbus USB / Wifi / whatever.

Consider some version of Linux or BSD?

Moved to PPC Powerbooks forum

If you can find a good image of the 24MB module, that should answer a few questions for you.

Also known as a Reverse Current Device (RCD), correct? They'll also stop current to a short fast enough to prevent you electrocuting yourself into cardiac arrest, so for my mind, they're an essential piece of safety equipment for anyone who works on their own gear.
