When I snagged my card ages ago, I directly contacted one of the designers who had the drivers for the card but not the data for the GAL. From what I recall the control panel either hung up or did nothing. I have no idea if my card works, but it's nice to have anyway.

To clone the card, you need to know it works, and how do you do that?

Congrats you found a rarity, IIfx Tokamac 68040/33. Now you need to find a IIfx motherboard with a modified UK7 Pal chip to run it on (busmastering is needed and Apple shipped the IIfx without it working correctly). I have the drivers stored here somewhere.

The file was in a private directory that no longer exists.

I see a 128K IIci cache card on eBay listed for $99. You kind of need a cache card of some kind, so look out for a dead IIci that has one and hope it works.

$35 on eBay for a cache card plus shipping, they used to be cheaper (what else is new).

I would be tempted to put a Daystar 040 in there (or equivalent). Realistically a decent video card, 32MB RAM, OS 7.1, cache module (I have some 3rd party ones with more cache), and ethernet would be a must for me. The last slot you can stuff a DSP card, SCSI card, video capture, or something...

Years ago, I passed on a PCI PC (AMD K6) card for a SPARC system.

As far as I know very few machines/cards were sold with 060 chips so few would still be around (and the cut down versions probably outnumber the full 060's).

Probably when the gold top chip recycling craze was going on because Nubus cards were not worth much back then. Years ago, I seen a metal plastic trashcan full of old EISA/ISA/VLB/Zorro cards where the "gold" fingers were cut off and the cards were chucked into the barrel. Today just a couple...

None of the OEM cooling fans of that era were any good and easily clogged up over time. Even if the caps were decently made the cards tend to cook them because of bad airflow. PC gamers are buying up both the Geforce Ti 4xxx series and the Quadro 4 equivalent for Windows 98 gaming ages ago...

The Pistorm has software bugs on the Amiga as well when you use all the options. Unless you had an Amiga 3000 or 4000 there was no MMU, and on those machines it is included in the 68030/040 CPU itself. Amiga OS doesn't support virtual memory which needs MMU.

Spare black rounded screws were left inside the case screwed to the wall. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/dfsI5jafwD5dgsKs.medium They are shown on the left unless somebody used them already. You put the screws into the side mounting holes and slide the drive into the rails. Of course...

As far as I know Photoshop was one of the few apps that used the second processor for some tasks.

Sorry, maybe I should not post when I am half asleep. I didn't mean to shit on the effort. Nobody here is buying 68K Mac gear to do actual work these days, it is all about seeing what makes things tick and playing around with what used to be cutting edge. If somebody wants to invest time in...

I would like to see people putting effort into an overclocked 68040 with a few MB of cache that will actually work instead of unobtanium 68060's that never will. Still cool you can even get it to boot. I suspect that Daystar canned the 060 because they could not sell it on speed and...

Reply made the Pentium PCI DOS card Apple sold on PowerPC PCI machines.

The LCD cable wraps around one of the hinges so breaking a hing is not good. Does it need lube or is it broken? PDQ and Wallstreet are the same.

If holding the C key on bootup doesn't boot from the optical drive, then use the option key method to see what your bootable options are.

I just used the A/UX 3.x that came with my WGS 95 and it installed and worked fine. Don't recall how much RAM was in there.
