So, I had so many fans out, just for size comparisons, yeah - my scale is off. I had a couple of 1.0 and 1.2-amp fans that were obviously on the big side (~120 mm) and I didn't use them for this test. But I did have a pair of 40 mm units - 12 V @ 60 and 90 mA (not 600/900) and I know they...

Hey Byrd - Thanks for your note! The TAM absolutely boots - in fact, it runs fine (until it freezes), which led me to take off the fat back and see the bracket fan wasn't running. I brought up the 9V battery since I used it to test the fans themselves to make sure they weren't seized up w/...

Hello all, I got a second TAM last week off of one of the Facebook groups and, like the one I bought last fall, it also came well-appointed w/ a Sonnet G3/400. After some machine freezes, I took off the Fat Back and saw the frameless in the HD bracket was not on. I've since been working on...

Dumb question but how long did you wait? I now have two TAMs that sometimes <shrug> will take up to a 45 seconds or so before the green power LED and display come on (right before Happy Mac). Both happen to have Sonnet G3 accelerators but I didn't try to replicate with them pulled.

Well, I did find v3.1 of the Sonnet Crescendo/Encore drivers for OS 9 and X... seems it's rock-solid in both now. Now I have the weirdest dual-boot problem where the X disk doesn't mount automatically in 9 and the 9 disk doesn't boot at all in X. I think I made the mistake of using Norton Disk...

Thing is, I can't even boot from a 9.2 CD. Sometimes it will get to the desktop, and freeze shortly thereafter; other times it won't make it to the desktop. I have to go back and write this down but IIRC from last night, a 9.1 CD was stable. And, FWIW, Classic under 10.4 works fine.

Thanks. Me too. I'm still having issues booting into OS 9 (it freezes soon after Finder loads) so I don't know if it's a thermal issue that 10.4.11 doesn't have? But yea, I'm very happy to get my hands on a faster CPU.

Yes, which is why I was puzzled by the observation.  I'm wondering out loud if it could be related to the SCSI2SD firmware settings (via scsi2sd-util) or the Apple driver. I have no idea why this would be a problem seen as root and not another user. Well, at least you're aware of the issue on...

Are you saying under A/UX or in general? I'm not aware of any issues with the filesystem using wget that are inherent to root/non-root, SSD vs. HD, etc... but, seeing that one would likely use root for most work, certainly the updated binaries, etc, is it possible the filesystem was borked to...

Oh, no doubt SSH is slow, connecting to an A/UX host. You can't use root, though. Must be a non-root user. https://github.com/unxmaal/aux_sdcard#enabling-ssh From our project page: Add a non-root user adduser -h /users/newusername newusername Set a password for the new user passwd...

I’m on travel in DC this week but @unxmaal or I will get with you on this for details. If A/UX Startup is failing, how are you getting to the point where you see SSH is failing as well? If you are somehow making it to the shell, can you post the output of `ps -ef` ?

I thought there was an internal filter that sat between the 50-pin cable and the logic board AND the internal/single drive has to either have internal terminator or term at the end of the chain as usual? Or SCSI urban legends? I have a black terminator on my external AppleCD and an internal SCA...

Well, seeing as the ROM itself is electrically compatible between IIci, IIsi, IIfx, SE/30 and the Quadras, I think it’s safe to plug in without a fire, but then you have the matter of connecting to the stock oscillator. That’s the part that probably won’t work.  And even for me in my Quadras, I...

I thought maybe Newer Technology was the supplier but Spectrum was the manufacturer... for example, you might see a DATECS mobile printer made in Bulgaria that’s actually remarketed and sold under different names (depending on who holds the license in that country, like Infinite Peripherals in...

As an SGI O2 owner, can definitely agree. Almost like this SE/30 was in a (successful) design shop that had these as commodities, thus individuals were allowed to do what they wished to them. 

Funny, I’ve never seen anything branded (as far as accelerators) by Newer Technology. But I’m virtually certain it’s a Variable Speed Overdrive, which is a little more complex than the ROM SIMM for the PowerPump, which I think only serves to synthesize the new clock signal for the OE pin. I’m...

Virtually certain that's a Newer Technology PowerPump or Variable Speed Overdrive, but I didn't know they made them for the IIfx. I have one for a Q950 and another for a Q700/900. The ROM connects to pin 1 (IIRC) of the stock oscillator (Output Enable) and alters the clock speed. For the Quadra...

Yeah, that explains it - boy, do I feel silly. I should have caught that when I typed diode. But, in my defense, no - the LED doesn't light up so it wasn't obvious to me what this way, besides looking very similar to the cap next to it.

@david__schmidt I'm positive the card's correctly oriented. There's an arrow that points to the front of the card/IIgs case. @cruff My comment on the 47uF's  were related to the logic board. I agree using them on a card of this size would be overkill, electrically and physically! :)   All, I...
