Yeps, in was new in box. Probably from some unsold pallet of them somewhere. Came with both vga and Mac adapters/dongles.

I swear that fan in the Mini used to work. Now nothing. Plus, it stops in the Opencore bootup.

Time to drop Sonoma on the ole 2009 Mac Mini.

Is it the ThunderPower version of the Thunder card. It had the solder pads but no connector for the optional DSP board. I used it for a bit in my 0S 9.1 Powerbase for a while. It worked fine but had a sync on green problem. I think I used the Radiusware drivers.

Finally grabbed my working Newton power adapter to confirm my eMate still works.

Yes it is. I forget wether its one word or two (MachSpeed versus Mach Speed).

Have you tried something like Daystars Mach Speed Tools instead of CPUDirector?

From what the page says, anything less seems to run it too slow. That's why it needs PPC-native Hypercard.

Ack, my bobo vram I got from something has gone... bad

Im just thinking off the top of my head, but I believe all the Pro models were 60MHz capable. Edit: Lowendmac says just the PowerCenter and PowerCenter Pro and Power Tower. Power Conputing probably used the same components as Apple. They just 'certified' them to run up to 60Mhz. Mind you...

Family life, man. I'm lucky to have time to even look at my classic Macs.

Plus, should flashed cards be included? Pictures of the cards, for identifying? Its a good start and definitely something that needs to be done.

I wouldnt read too much into the model names from this or any period. They really dont signify anything. The 9100 was an 8500 and faster than the 9200. The 9200 was basically a 9000. The 9500s were faster than 9600s, and were just a cut down 9700. These were just terms tacked onto to sell...

Was it just a straight chip-for-chip swap?

Apple probably left it off so they could keep it as a "feature" of the probably-already-being-developed B&W G3. Dont forget their intentional and unnecessary G4 block in the B&W G3s firmware too. Gotta get people to buy them new G4s.

Benchmarks aside, does the UI feel snappier than unaccelerated?

Yeah, mine has the same.

Mine did the same. It was suggested the eeprom might be incompatible. I havent done anymore attempts since then, though.

@Phipli Thanks!. I took a chance on a really cheap card while I had some spare money. Gotta look into changing it out.
