I have a couple of the 750GX cards for the PCI PowerMacs (x500, e.g. 9500). They do not require any drivers or ROM patches to operate. As far as I can tell, there's no where on the card firmware could be stored. Of course, if one wishes to run at a speed other than 500 MHz, one needs the...

I think that question is better pointed at @davecom . He's got the experience refurbishing Minis. It's been a few years since I've had one apart.

Absent a faulty device, the only way I can see that @BespokeMan 's would overheat and @davecom 's wouldn't is if there's a very different and very poor voltage regulator on the former's. So you guys might want to compare what part is actually being used for the voltage regulator -- U1 in the...

I was browsing the items from Memory Master and they have a bunch of the PM6100/7100 ROM modules for about $13. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175602575946?epid=1228687524 Posting in case there are folks with a machine where the ROM was pulled. That's the 341-0741. I think it will also work in...

Thanks, @stynx I appreciate the replies.

The CS5157 on the XLR8 card is the voltage regulator. The two 8 pin chips next to it are the power FETs.... Oh, never mind. Stynx beat me to it.... Oh, I will add one thing, my guess for SW4 is an option to run a ribbon cable out of the computer case and a little circuit board with the speed...

I'm curious as to which Carrier card you were testing with. Somewhere around here I posted undocumented speed settings for one of the carrier cards (XLR8?). It's been too long and I don't remember which one. They give some speed settings in the instructions that came with the card, but it...

Where did you see the dual CPU ANS card? As far as I know there was only ever one of them, at least only one in the wild and word was it required a revised ANS ROM to work properly. I thought a fellow in Germany had it last, but "last" was back around 2002.

If you're having trouble finding cheap MSATA SSDs on Ebay, Newegg sells a 128 GB for ~$21 and the 256 MB for about $25. That may be a "sale" price, but these have mostly been on sale for the last three years -- and at lower prices eighteen months ago; 1 TB was about $45 back then...

Kingston made a bunch of modules for HP that work well in the Q605/LC475. They are HP part # D4893 (128 MB) or D4290A (64MB, note there's an HP 4290E DDR2 module out there) and the Kingston part number for the 128 MB is kmm53632000

I'm guessing that Firelink chip comes in both a square and a rectangular package? Square Firelink 82C861

I don't know if this is at all helpful, but here are some pics of the circuit board for the Asante Micro AsantePrint, which was the predecessor to the AsanteFast. I once asked Asante and they said the only real difference is that the Asantefast dispenses with some of the network statistics...

260 MB, but to get that you need a SIMMSaver and the lid won't close. So, in practice, maximum is 132 MB; 128MB SIMM + 4MB on motherboard.

The socket is spec'd for a board that is .047 - .050", IIRC. Which is about 1.27 mm. These days, board fabricators seem to want to use thicknesses that are even multiples of tenths of a mm. Which gives you 1.20 mm thick boards or 1.30 mm boards. Twenty years ago you could still get 1.27...

Available at Questcomp.com for about $12. They have 9. They also list qty. 476 with a contact us for a quote, so no idea what the price on those is, but the most difficult part should be sourceable.

From an old post of mine: Looking at the datasheet, change the 4120 to 4420 to go from DIP to SOIC. Hmm. The link to the datasheet is not good any more. But this works: file:///C:/Users/trag/Downloads/601.pdf Huh. That doesn't work. But when I paste it into a new window, it does...

Did a little searching on the forum here and found this from an old posting: I'm not sure if this is relevant to your experience or not. There's an archive to the old ATI drivers that a fellow maintains and I've got a book mark somewhere, but not on this computer. I really should...

This sounds very similar to a problem I ran into on a MDD. Playing with extensions let me identify the issue. I think it was a problem between the ATI extensions and either Open Transport or maybe QuickTime. I think the solution was to get the latest ATI extensions. I was running something...

I saw a recommendation that you repaste the CPU/heat sink and another post telling you that you don't need to. You definitely should. Even before the year 2000, I saw 7100s failing because the heat sink grease had turned to chalk. If not done already, you should also do the same for the G3...

NewerTech shipped a G4 Nubus upgrade for a very brief time. Too bad that the archives don't go back further at Mike's xlr8yourmac.com website. There was probably an announcement of the card on Mike's front page way back when.
