I don’t know how I missed this - but thanks! I’ll check it out and report back. I would think the biggest difference between the two would be the bootable ROM disk size. 

I think I have 3.2.5 (since it appeared to be specifically for NuBus cards) but I'll take another look and even boot from my 7.1 MacPartition to test it out. I'll also dig out another VGA adapter (currently using an ADB/HD15 KVM switch) since this thread suggests the refresh rate might be...

IIci: 7.6.1 and 8.1 This machine has a DayStar Turbo 040 but I have the problem running the stock '030. I also have A/UX 3.1 on this but don't have the balls to tempt fate and try this card in A/UX since I only recently got things stable. Q700: 7.5.5, just updated to 7.6.1 last night. I can...

No on the Q700, yes on the IIci but other threads have pointed out (if I'm explaining right) that the "base ROM" of the card allowed for basic (non-accelerated, 1-page, no pivot, etc) functionality and communicate to the OS what its capabilities are... resolution- and depth-wise. It's a shame if...

I have this problem on a Quadra 700... and it comes up from time to time, which is why I suspect a flaky video card but it seemed like I was able to truly zap the PRAM by using TechTool - for some reason it appears to be a more complete zap or complete wipe of that space vs. maybe a less...

Hi, I am troubleshooting issues with a Radius PC 24x that I recently acquired (model #632-0187-03 Rev. B). So basically this card boots up fine but to default resolution and bit depth (B&W) - but the minute I change either of them (even to gray), the entire screen freaks out and I'm left...

Hi, I have a BMOW Mac ROM-inator II for my SE/30 and love it so much that I have held off putting in a newly-acquired Daystar Turbo 040 because it is known that the 040 has its own ROM and tries to patch portions of the system ROM, which has been moved around by the SIMM so it chimes. So...

I'm not a total newbie when it comes to pricing and buying old technology online. This particular Iici was advertised on Fleabay with such eye-opening superlatives like "Super Clean," "Near Mint," "Works Perfect (sic)" and "Flawless" so I was willing to pay a little more to say OK, at most I'll...

Ack, I have a feeling it's capacitors... it's gotten progressively worse - now by the time it's ready to launch Finder I get a bunch of wavy lines, like a loss of horizontal sync... thought I would at least get a few weeks out of it before needing to get it recapped.

Because I can't get to the Finder to launch and I can't even boot from floppy as long as that drive is connected... I assume if it actually crashed or something like that that it wouldn't even get that far, extensions, inits, etc. I can try booting from my FWB recovery CD tonight (but I don't...

Losing my mind, y'all... Got a Iici last week in great shape (though I really wish it had the programmer/reset switches for aesthetics). Included was 20 MB RAM, a Radius PrecisionColor 8xj, and a Quantum Trailblazer ~850 MB SCSI HD. What was interesting about this (in that I'd never seen this...

I'll check it out. The Q950 is rock-stable for me, and I have it on most of the time, and I have plenty of RAM so it makes sense to put it to work for me... Thanks for the recommendation.

Should just be site:68kmla.org appended to your Google search terms. Totally agree on eBay tips, but I suspect we're just bidding against each other anyway :)

I have the Spectrum/24 with DSP card (it's still SuperMac, before Radius bought them?) - but what I've found online indicates it performs much better (and is compatible with the SuperVideo cpanel) with the 3.x ROM update... the chip for which I haven't been able to find. Haven't seen any...

Interesting suggestion re: eBay. I had searched saved to take off the Location filter (from "Default" to "Worldwide") and it's the same old stuff. I have so many searches saved, it's virtually a part of my morning routing. Will creating rules on the international sites themselves have a...

Thanks, will do. I expected to do this over the course of the next year or two - due to the scarcity of these parts.

Hey all, I've nearly maxed out the RAM (64 MB or $40 at a time) on the Q950 I acquired a few months ago and had a spare key made just in case I broke the only one off in the lock. I added a SCSI2SD with A/UX 3.1.1, 7.6, 8.1, Apps and Backup partitions. I've added a SuperMac Spectrum/24...
