PowerPCs cannot be set to 24-bit addressing, in any OS.  The option is completely missing from the Memory control panel. They use 32-bit addressing *ONLY*. The minimum amount of RAM any PowerPC system shipped with was 8 MB - so there was zero reason to allow 24-bit addressing. Sadly, I traded...

The PowerPC Macs don't support 24-bit addressing.  Period. I don't know for certain about the IIe card, but if it truly requires 24-bit addressing, then it won't work on a PowerPC.  Even the very first gen of PowerPCs (Power Mac 6100/60, 7100/66, and 8100/80) running System 7.1.2 don't support...

Seems up and running to me.  As is its mirror/fork macintoshrepository dot org (I specify it that way, because it started as a mirror, then became its own entity.)

The keyboard you're looking for is the Apple Adjustable Keyboard. As for the sound? I've heard the Rodime 20 MB hard drive seek sound and the 400k Single-sided floppy drive seek sound in movies and TV shows as recently as just a couple years ago - for modern computers!  Sound effects in movies...

It depends on the game - the vast majority of Apple II games were "booters" - you just put it in the drive and start up the computer, and it boots directly in to the game. A few you loaded from ProDOS, but those were rare.

That's exactly how my dual-Superdrive + HD SE is internally.

That's a PC-flashed-to-Mac one, too.  The only ATI video cards ever released for the Mac were either Apple-shipped, or ATI-first-party-branded as "Mac" cards. (With the one exception of the ATI-first-party branded co-Mac-and-PC card that had both PC and Mac firmware.) Also, I'm not aware of any...

The card will function fine - but you'll need Mac OS X 10.3 or later to have the acceleration work - otherwise it will be an unaccelerated card, worse than the stock Rage 128.  The Radeon 9250 Mac Edition would be fully accelerated in Mac OS 9, or any version of Mac OS X.  It wouldn't be as fast...

The other major advantage is HD20 boot support - which is nice if you have a Floppy Emu.

This rings a bell, I seem to recall that the PowerBook Duo 280c had a problem in that it wasn't possible to have an FPU, where the '030 Duos could use an -882 in the DuoDock.

Throw one of these on the internal SCSI chain: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/131880544042

Huh. So you'd *HAVE* to use a PDS accelerator card, since there's no place to put the CPU+FPU back in!  I guess since most PDS cards *ARE* accelerator cards, it makes sense, it just looks odd. You'd think a pure CPU upgrade would have been more popular than needing a separate "PDS adapter" and...

It's the ROM-inator II, a SIMM-style ROM module for the SE/30 and Mac II series - you need BMoW's custom ROM SIMM programmer.

I couldn't see myself wanting to reprogram it often/at all, so I didn't spend the $60+shipping on a programmer. But now I find myself wanting to change the ROM drive.  Anyone with a programmer willing to let me send them my ROM-inator II, have them program it, then send it back?  (I'd pay...

Sorry, forgot to update the thread! The creator of the webpage about it emailed me back with a picture of the power brick, complete with pin out of the connector.

I have a Griffin gPort in my G4.  It's literally just a cable that goes from where the modem plug is on the logic board to a port where the RJ-11 jack was, ending in a standard Mac RS422 port. Edit: Wrongity, wrong wrong.  First, it was in my B&W G3, second, it is more complicated than I...

If connecting to a Mac Plus with no internal hard drive (it doesn't officially have the space or wiring for an internal hard drive, so almost guaranteed yours doesn't,) then you do need a terminator; but missing one shouldn't cause it to completely fail. Any SCSI ID other than 7 should work...

I didn't bother - classic Mac OS can't see them anyway.

If you want, I now have a PB100 'shell' spare. Its rear battery holder is also broken, but it's just the part that "overlaps", so you'd end up with a small gap when the door is closed. I'm in the US, though, so shipping would end up being rather high.

The one annoying thing trag's linked module (and others like it) is that it's too tall for the Color Classic II!  It runs in to the chassis when you try to slide the logic board tray back in. (Yes, I was trying to give my CC2 more RAM, and the only >16 MB SIMM I have is an 'extra tall' one...
