Wow. They are heavy and 2Kms is a good 15 minute walk unencumbered. Well done you!

First Class too! Did you get an AEK in its original box? @cheesestraws: if you'd like photos of Swiss trains & stations, I can take some for you. We have no car and I am out & about on Swiss trains.

You could try the PCI cards with the RTL8169S chipset on it. These are gigabit ethernet cards. I have one in my B&W G3. I don't know if the driver works below Mac OS 8.6 though. http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/realtek-rtl8169s-gigabit-ethernet-card-driver

Good point. I shall take more care of it.

This plastic is so strong that when my brother had a car accident some decades ago, his Wallstreet was propelled from the backseat, through the front windscreen and was left unscathed and working. I have it now.

1. SATA PCI card can be gotten at reasonable rates if you are patient. SSDs are so quiet & fast. @rabbitholecomputing has some at: https://shop.rabbitholecomputing.com/collections/all 2. ATi Radeon 9000 Pro or nVidia GeForce 4 MX will handle any game in Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X 10.2 | 10.3. 3. If...

Keeping/rescuing CRT-monitors is not at all an easy decison. They are bulky, use a lot of electricity, are in need of repair and that repair requires working next to high voltage. Sometimes they require a specific video card. Well done sir for keeping these alive! They are as much a part of the...

An ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB is a great card for that system. The Ti-4600 won't bring much more and will set you back many hundreds of dollars. It is a great feeling to have a system built by yourself ready to go. Keep an eye out for an Adaptec PowerDomain 19160 (also called 19160N). They don't...

CD5150» Is it possible to Install Sorbet Leopard on G4-upgraded G3 B&W? I expect it to be very sluggish on a 500MHz G3 with 16MB ATi graphics card, like an SE/30 running Mac OS 8.1. And? Did it run well?

Oh yes. I will check it out. At the moment I am binging on Diablo II though.

I have about 6 Macs from the 1980s (with my IIfx getting an honourable inclusion and 4 (out of 5) of them had working, original/period-replacements that still work. the IIfx came with a massive, double-height 500MB HD that worked the last time I checked it. What worries me more, though, are the...

There is this on the MacintoshGarden from parish local @MrFahrenheit: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/oracle-products-the-mac

I got Mac OS 8.1 installed & running on to my IIfx but that did involve editting files with ResEdit as well as using a Gestalt-masking utility. You will have to fool the Mac OS installer that your IIci is a PPC from Apple.

Try the Macintosh Garden for an image of the original installer disk. It might be that the Kingston card shipped with the clone and thus has drivers on the image. My gut feeling, however, is that this PCI card uses chips supported by the Macintosh drivers and that special drivers aren't...

@David Cook Have you benchmarked it yet? It's faster than a IIfx but has a much slower bus. Often graphics cards were customised for specific monitors and if it is a DE-9, then it may very well be a portrait monitor ot two-page-display. I would have a look at Mac magazines from 1993 & 1994 and...

Mac OS X introduced a higher supported RAM ceiling and SMP (symmetric multi-processing) but these are of little benefit to your iMac G3. If you had one of the dualies (say a dual 500Mhz G4 Gigabit Internet) with 2GB RAM, you could demonstrate the same Carbon apps running on Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac...

I've uploaded my Formac driver CD to the Macintosh Garden but I have since done a trawl of Archive.org and if I can find where I save the files, I'll send them to you. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/formac-drivers-version-2011-01-05-archive

This is on sale in Switzerland. Are you interested in it? I can bid on your behalf and send it to you, if you like. https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/jlcooper-sync-link-macintosh-interface-1282167912/

I would argue that the easiest way to get them online is not to put them online per se but to get a G4 Mac and make a Mac OS 9 LAN. You will need an ethernet hub and ethernet cards for your SE/30 & LC 475 although the wireless functionality of the BlueSCSI v2 should also work. Most G4s will...
