    Overclocking 604 Processor Cards

    I'm actually putting it into my 7300, but I am happy to hear you think 270MHz will be fine. I have 48MHz and 50MHz crystals, so I could: 240/48 250/50 264/48 275/50

    Overclocking 604 Processor Cards

    If I had to guess, Id say its R1 to R4, corresponding to CFG0 to CFG3

    Overclocking 604 Processor Cards

    Oh wow, well, I guess I'll give modifying my Power Computing unit a try. I already have the crystal oscillator. Are you familiar with Power Computing 604e modules? Would you mind sharing a link to that datasheet?

    Undocumented XLR8 ZIF Carrier Bus Settings

    The chart XLR8 should have included :)

    Calling all owners of rare ADB devices!

    I once had a set of CH-Products F-16 Fighter Stick, Throttle, and Pedals. They daisy chained.

    Overclocking 604 Processor Cards

    The image you posted is for a 603e. I believe the highest multiplier for the 604e is 4x. I bought a 240/60 604e card hoping to run it at 250/50, but sadly it seems the max multiplier is 4x.

    What games for a Macally Joystick?

    Red Baron was one I remember running excessively fast on faster Macs. I liked A-10 Cuba and Hornet 3.0. Highly recommend X-Plane. The demo is the full program but with a 5 minute time limit. It comes with a Plane Designer program. Its fun taking existing planes and modifying them...

    Blue G3 Bus Clocking

    Not sure how much it comes into play, but figure its worth mentioning. The CPUs themselves have a FSB rating. 66MHz - 750, 755 100MHz - 750L, 750CX 133MHz - 750CXe 166MHz - 750FX, 750FL 200MHz - 750GX, 750GL

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    And if you look at full systems, occasionally you can find ones with nice upgrades already installed: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176003661822 and if you don't want to pay all that shipping, can contact them and possibly buy just the CPU. I am guessing that was a 1.3GHz CPU but really no idea.

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    In your situation (you have a 933MHz G4), the only stock modules you can use as an upgrade are a dual 800MHz and a dual 1GHz, both from QuickSilver (again, MDD modules will not work). The dual 1GHz QS modules are rare, and probably usually somewhat pricey. However, aftermarket CPU upgrades...

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    No Its for a MDD, and is the slowest CPU module they came with VRAM really doesnt make for a faster video card. Similar to how more RAM doesnt make your computer faster if youre not using the quantity you currently have. More VRAM allows you to load larger textures, but when most games...

    PowerLogix 1.1GHz 750GX ZIF, afraid of chipping the die

    awesome idea, thank you I hope you mean only the latter is damaged. How did you maybe damage it? Any thoughts on using one of those graphite thermal sheets instead of thermal compound? Not sure if they get thinner, but 0.2mm is readily available. It would increase the pressure on the die...

    History of the PowerPC 603 and 603e

    Power Computing PowerBases used 603e on the same type of CPU card. Some G3 upgrades for 7300/8500/9600 etc had a switch to use with the PowerBase. This leads me to believe it may be somewhat easy to modify one of these cards to use in a 9600.

    How long does OS9 take to boot for you?

    PM7300, 520MHz G3, 320MB RAM, ZuluSCSI, OS 9.1 from pressing the power button: 0:32 for display to turn on 0:40 happy mac 1:00 "MacOS" 1:55 "Starting Up" 3:10 first extension loaded 4:25 clock not set warning 4:35 desktop appears 5:00 actually finishes I strongly suspect the ZuluSCSI is slower...

    System Profiler Software for Overclocks

    My current machine has a 52MHz bus and 10x multiplier. Apple system profiler : 52 .. | 520 Gauge Pro ........... : 52.0 .| 519.9 MacBench 5 .......... : 53.25 | 532.5 CPU Director ........ : 52 .. | 519 So MacBench is quite a ways off. I think GaugePro is probably the most accurate. I...

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    I am able to download from Macintosh Garden in OS 8.6 -9.1 using Netscape. I think I just have to use FrogFind to get there. I think this link will work on OS 8/9: http://frogfind.com/read.php?a=http://macintoshgarden.org/ Though doesn't seem to work on a modern PC FrogFind is great for...

    PowerLogix 1.1GHz 750GX ZIF, afraid of chipping the die

    I was lucky enough to find one of these, but have been too afraid to install a heatsink to it due to reading reviews of people chipping the die, even after bending the heatsink clip to make it apply less pressure. To make things worse, mine does not have any sort of like strain relief or...

    alternatives for WPA2 networking under OS9

    Maybe you could install Linux to bare-metal, get your WPA2 that way, then use something like Mac-on-Linux to boot up OS 9. edit : no idea if this would work, just a path that may warrant investigation if that's something you're willing to do.

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    You can also get a normal SATA PCI card, and then flash it, so you can use SATA hard drives. These SATA PCI cards are extremely cheap, like $15 on eBay, but, you have to flash them, and you have to make sure you get the right chipset. The RHC SATA Hard Card is, from my understanding, basically...

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    https://thehouseofmoth.com/ppc-overclocking-station/#QuickSilver In your case, you'd need to remove the resistor on R7, and install one on R5. Again, I've used conductive paint pens when I was younger and it always worked flawlessly. I've overclocked probably 20 or 30 G4 modules this way.
