    ShopGoodwill FTW! Sealed G4 Processor Upgrade

    One of my regrets is not snagging some higher end G3/G4 ZIFFs when they were cheap.

    Q840av gets a make over

    I still have an 840av that doesn't bong I need to fix, but it's been sitting for years as I work on other things.

    Max Displays on A Quadra

    I have a PCI video card for PC (Permedia based I think so Win2K era) that supported 4 VGA monitors but needed a special cable. Very specialized stuff back then. While you can stick multiple cards into a IIfx for example I never even tried more than 2 monitors and even that was just to do it.

    Advice with SE30 restoration

    That tool is good for giving you more information than a handheld digital meter can do at a price point that no oscilloscope can touch and it is easily portable.

    Looking for Motorola MC68851 PMMU for Macintosh II

    Find something with a 68020 thats dead and strip it from there. I don't see where else you are going to find that part with that budget. Whole working IIfx are $500-1000.

    FWB SCSI Jackhammer.

    My jackhammers boot just fine for attached drives (even on my IIfx). The ATTO IV cards tend to be just for storage drives and are not bootable unless you have the final firmware. I still have to see if the SE II's I have are bootable or not.

    Has anyone been able to install MacOS 8.6 or 9.2.2 on a Mac II or Quadra with a PowerPC upgrade card?

    Yes, it would be cool to see it work and take a snapshot, but any native OS 9 machines would blow it away and I am sure we all have at least one of those. I remember stuffing 384MB of RAM into one of my Q950 machines (256MB of 16MB 30 pin SIMMs and 128MB on the Daystar 601-80 card) just to do...

    FWB SCSI Jackhammer.

    You can use a 50 pin one with the other connector. You can also use external drives with the correct cables and terminators. These days I would recommend whatever you can find locally just to see if the card works.

    FWB SCSI Jackhammer.

    No idea, I use mostly 68 pin SCSI drives on mine.

    FWB SCSI Jackhammer.

    The manual for that card should be linked in the forum here somewhere.

    Why is the G4 limited to 2GB Ram? Boot rom? Firmware? Memory Controller? Could that be patched?

    My Daystar Turbo 601-80 is a PDS+Nubus card for 040 Macs. You can turn it off and use the built in 68040 AND still use the extra RAM so that has to be implemented on the Nubus side correct (128MB RAM)? Also, the Daystar RAM Powercard was available in 1990 with 64MB (upgradable to 256MB) for...

    Why is the G4 limited to 2GB Ram? Boot rom? Firmware? Memory Controller? Could that be patched?

    You can install 4GB of RAM on a P4 system, but the system overhead takes up space and each GPU sucks up 128 or 256MB windows so usable memory is lower.

    C2 is backwards.
