Could just be that they were having keyboard problems and swapped in this one. One of my acquisitions was a clone with an Apple II power supply and on the lid was an apple II badge.

Haven’t used the ATTO cards in probably 15 years and the first three I tried didn’t seem to work. I’ll put those aside and maybe try them on another Mac before considering recycling them. I’m getting pretty low on ATTO cards now if those are history. Wasted a lot of time on them before I found...

I have a Raizinmonster(CF) and a Fuzinmonster(SD) and was curious about how well they did on the Mac. I’ve been using them on the Apple II. The closest machine to yours I have handy is a 8600 with a 450mhz G3 card and 512mb RAM running 9.1. I don’t have Norton so I tried FWB. The Raizinmonster...

There was an old discussion here that got me wondering about formatting.  

What was the SCSI2SD formatted with?

It'd be interesting to compare all the available SCSI devices: the SCSI2SD versions, Artmixes SD & CF adapters, SCM PCD-50B, Acard SCSI bridges and ?

From top Modem card 80 column card serial card 16K RAM Floppy drive controller Parallel printer card

For non SCSI Macs, I mostly used Lacie usb optical drives with Toast in OS9

Those upgrade boards are pretty rare. It’d be easier to locate a 333mhz card. A few people have been playing around with replacing G3 processors with G4s in various machines. Been meaning to give that a try when I have some spare time.

I'd probably start by reseating all the chips. That's solved 99% of the II+ problems I've had

You could pick up one of the power supplies for adc monitors. Less load on the computers power supply and then you can use it with quite a few other macs

You can even get localtalk though the Stealth serial port might be harder to find

For OSX you need an 8gb or smaller partition. For OS 9 you can use anything up to 128gb on the built in bus.

Whereabouts in Canada are you?

Years back, we did a fair bit of motherboard swapping between tray loading iMacs. Usually we'd swap the whole tray containing motherboard, HD and optical drive between machines. Never saw one where we could't make the swap. It was easier to swap the whole tray instead of moving just the hard...

Sonnet made good cards. 1mb cache does make a difference. I’d definitely hold out for that. I’d probably look for a 400mhz. They come up often enough. Faster than that is a bit harder to find. G4s don’t add much unless you’re running OSX.

A while back on his facebook page he mentioned that he might be producing one with larger ROM. Don't know what I'd put on 512k but a couple mb I could really put to use.

I have a SCSI2SD, Aztecmonster and a Floppyemu. I installed one SCSI2SD at the front of an external SCSI case that came with an opening for  small media. It lets me swap media and move the enclosure from one computer to another. The Aztecmonster feels a little faster. I’ve considered replacing...

I ordered one today

I've used a Sonnet SATA card in a MDD with both SSD and mechanical hard drive. They benchmarked the same. The only advantage was that the SSD didn't spin down. I liked the Kensington Turbomouse Pro trackball
