That's enough for me. Some mysteries I am OK leaving unsolved. Maybe not, flakey FB sellers are flakey.

Hmm, the MDDs that shipped with this card could boot into 9 so I just assumed it would work. It’s in a Quicksilver 2001 right now, so I should have ADC power. The DVI works fine in Mac OS X on the same machine so it’s just a driver issue. I can try some older ones, but it’s hanging even with...

I have a GeForce 4 MX that must have come out of a MDD (AGP with ADC/DVI). It boots fine in Tiger, but in 9.2.2 the screen turns black and the mouse hangs. I tried disabling extensions but it barely makes it that far. GeForce driver versions are 3.1, I don’t see anything newer available...

Some images from my early access CircuitTalk in my Sawtooth G4: Perfect fit where the modem board was. The IDC routes under the motherboard, there’s a little opening right next to the airport card: Installed in the metal shield the modem jack used to be in. Again there's a convenient place...

I can test in a Sawtooth and a QS, with P2P Localtalk, null modem, and a Roland SC-7. Dunno about intensive use though...

I replaced the capacitors (fortunately no major leakage) and reinstalled the DOS card, and it’s all working at proper speed. A lot of nostalgia in a small package :)

Update: I took the DOS card out, put the '040 in the main socket, and cleaned the board a bit. It boots and shows 33 MHz, and is now much nicer to use. I have replacement capacitors on order. I don't see any leakage, but I may as well replace them before they do. Then I'll tackle the DOS card.

Recently I acquired a Performa 640 CD DOS Compatible, after not owning a 68k mac for over a decade. I got it set up, put 8.1 on it because that's what I had handy. Felt really slow, like, were 68040s really this slow? You can see windows draw piece by piece. Started system profiler, it says...

Interested in one at that price. Maybe two.
