Well, in this setup the OPC 290 has a PCMCIA Ethernet card. The host Mac and the Reply DoM card share the host 7100/80 built-in NIC. Theoretically the Rocket can also use the built-in host Mac NIC, but that doesn't actually work in this case due to software & TCP stack incompatibilities. So...

I'm still determined to get my PCI 3Dfx Voodoo 5 5500 to work on a Mac. It's been an infuriating process so far, but the only difference between the PC and Mac cards besides the firmware is the presence of a DVI port on the Mac version.

Hmm, that's not a half bad idea. Yeah, I figured that the RAMDAC would be a limiter at some point. Admittedly, I'd be a little bummed losing out on there being yet another computer and OS running in there (A/ROSE on the 68000). :) Right now it's MacOS 7.1, Windows 3.11, A/ROSE, Windows 95...

I finally got all my shelving and cabinets from IKEA to display most of my collection, so I've been setting things up and also taking pictures of various expansion cards I have too. Sooner or later I'll post them to a "Conquests" thread. It's been a hell of a last 6 months trying to make sure my...

Does anybody happen to know how that 640k is carved off to provide DRAM video on the HDI-45 port? I'm relegated to using the DRAM video on my 7100/80 because I've loaded it up with: Radius Rocket Stage I Orange Micro OrangePC 290 Apple Ethernet NB A/ROSE Reply DoM 7100 PDS So that I could...

It might require some BIOS hacking to properly support a K6-2, but I have no OrangePC 530 to find out for sure.

Oh! Those ribbon headers on that daughterboard look like they're for a parallel port and a serial port, respectively. I bet if you had a PC/AT bracket with those ports on it and stuffed the other end of the ribbons into those sockets, you'd have your proper hardware I/O.

Yeah, I think there's a way to get a proper gamut of PC I/O ports (Serial, Parallel, etc.) exposed on that thing with that flavor of daughter card. The default octopus cable only has video passthrough and MIDI/gameport (which is inactive if you don't have at least the Vibra16 board). If I'm not...

If you crack open the OrangePC applications in ResEdit, or some suitable alternative, you'll find a resource fork entry called BIOS... might have been ROM, but I'm pretty sure it was BIOS. In there you'll see the various flavors of PC, VGA, and even Orange Micro BIOS "extensions" that are...

Oh, that daughtercard seems like it is a combo card of some kind? What's that SMC chip for? I recently saw a picture of the 7100 version of the card with what looked like a Vibra16-only card exactly the same dimensions as the one on the 6100/Houdini card attached to it.

As a separate matter, if anyone has any of those little add-on Vibra16 daughtercards for the Apple/Reply cards handy, I actually need one or two of them. I think both my 7100 and 8100 PDS cards are missing them. At least one of them is for sure. The 7100 and 8100 cards actually have two sockets...

@jeremywork I didn't have to use an adapter for the CPU. I have a patched BIOS image for the card that properly recognizes K6-III CPUs and also properly reports speeds at post (the default BIOS shows 256 MHz for values above 400 MHz or something like that). What this really means is that I have...

@Byrd if I had such a card to scan, I would. I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. My only PCI non-OrangePC cards are the Apple/Reply 5x86 card (7") and the Apple/Reply soldered Pentium 100 card (12").

I am fairly close to completing my collection now. I acquired an OrangePC 660 a few weeks ago for only $100-more than I planned on paying for one a few months ago. $450 + shipping. I feel a little bit silly for buying it since I have two OrangePC 620's now, but I weighed the probability of ever...

Ah, you've got the one with extra drive bays too. Yeah, there's one of those a PowerCenter 132 I found for sale that's full-height that I thought about grabbing, but without knowing if the CPU card I have will work in a Catalyst-based machine, it seemed risky and then I'd have four PowerCenter...

Yep. This. :) It came in both flavors. The full-height desktop (6" tall) form factor and the mini-tower form factor. The PowerCenter machines then came in the low-profile (4" tall) desktop form factor and the mini-tower form factor. The PowerTower Pro machines are in the full-size tower form...

I have three different kinds of PowerComputing clones. Tsunami architecture PowerTower Pros and two Catalyst architecture derivatives: a PowerCenter (onboard Apple 7200 video) and PowerCenter Pro (PCI Riser integrated ATI Rage II video). I also have a Dual 604e CPU card from Interware that...

I have an Audiomedia II kit with original software, etc. I'm pretty sure it also came with the manuals. I'll check.

I have a spare HPV board from a 7100 around here somewhere that you're welcome to.
