I'm running the logic board horizontally, and have thoroughly cleaned everything I can clean, and braced the CPU cards with a clip I fabricated. I've tried ZIF CPUs from 233 MHz G3 through to 500 MHz G4. I also replaced the four SMD electrolytics on one of the ZIF Carrier boards, mostly...

No, I’m not skilled enough with such things to determine if the ROMs include FPU instructions (not even sure how to merge the ROM dumps, tbh), and I haven’t had the time to just solder on the FPU.

Success with the mini image on the previously discussed el cheapo 3112 card with the 12V ROM. Desoldered, flashed, resoldered, and I have a 256 GB SSD mounted in 9.1..! Huzzah. Shows up as an ATA drive to the system, but the card does not show up as an ATA host in System Profiler. Whatever, as...

Most welcome!

FUSE-HFS works properly in Monterey and Ventura, btw. I'm using it for most of my classic Mac image tasks now. Automatic mount arbitration and everything.

Here are photos.

Yep, I can. I'm also not invested in this particular card, I just had it lying around, but I just thought I'd see if Collin's tiny image would work.

I used the stock ROM (39SF010) and DosDude's latest ROM image from this thread. And it's bailing before OF even loads.

I should mention that it runs *flawlessly* with my Newer Tech G3 card. It's been burning at 100% CPU for 36 hours, compiling a bunch of Tigerbrew packages, and is perfectly happy and stable.

Have done, different slots on both Bandits, with no change. The odd thing to me is that the card worked fine pre-flash (usable in Debian PPC), and showed up in System Profiler and to the flashing utility — all until it was flashed, when it started to hang

Yeah, I went there first. I've recapped the logic board, and the power supply is a new 450W ATX PSU. There's no change with PCI cards unplugged, bare bones RAM, and no drives connected. I've reset everything that can be reset, including in OF and on the logic board, and I've done a deep reset...

I've cleaned up the BOMARC SE/30 schematics, and corrected an error in the video section. PDF and TIFFs are on my site here.

I had an Epson Zip drive back in the day, with my Power Computing machines, and got nostalgic, so went looking. They were (unsurprisingly) more common in Japan, and I was able to find an affordable one on Yahoo! Japan (via Buyee, iirc). There's another brand that also offered a beige Zip drive...

Watching this, just picked up a 9250 and haven't flashed it yet.

A while back, a fellow hobbyist generously traded me an XLR8 Mach Carrier ZIF card for a Sonnet Crescendo G4 card (I have the rare late revision PowerTower Pro that "cannot and will never be able to" run Sonnet cards, per Sonnet. And the ZIF card worked pretty well for a while. It was spotty...

Any insights into why a flashed SIIG 3112A card might cause a freeze on a PowerTower Pro (9500 based) before Open Firmware loads? The unflashed card did not, and flashed under OS 9 without issue.

Understood.

Ah. I was under the impression that Netatalk supplied its own AppleTalk stack, and that's what was removed in 3.x. I'll get involved in testing the userland stack you mention.

Excellent! I've been able to build 2.3.0 on Ventura linking to berkeley-db@4 from Homebrew, but so far haven't gotten it running ("socket: Address family not supported by protocol family"). Exciting if it'll work.

Thank you very much! Now, if mine weren't dead as a doornail...
