    Thunder IV GX - What am I missing?

    In real world applications how do you know whether QuickDraw acceleration is on? What is faster? MacDraw? CAD applications? Do windows redraw faster? @ObeyDaleks Don't be too disappointed with the speed of the Radius Thunder GX IV on a Mac II. This card was designed for high-end Quadras and the...

    Introducing (and interest check) CircuitTalk: LocalTalk for PowerMac G4

    Sign up to Shipito.com (or similar shipping service). You have to register but it is free and no CC is required. You get an address in the US (Oregon & California) and this is very useful. I use it a couple of times per year.

    8.6 crashing on a Power PC upgraded Quadra?

    What version of the driver are you using? It's a long shot but there may be a later version that may help.

    I had him in mind and I posted here because of him. I do like that it is called a stealth serial port. Ah, Steve Jobs and slots.

    Driver for Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader

    I have a feeling that I have posted this request before and apologies if I have. Does anyone here have the driver for the Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader for Mac OS 9 or below? I've found the download page on archive.org but it redirects to a 302 page. I would appreciate it greatly...

    Best games/apps to showcase B&W mac?

    MADI

    There is a Mac Pro going cheaply near me and it has two cards (which I assume are sound processing cards of some kind). And while I don't need another Mac Pro, it might be worth getting for the cards alone. What cards are these and what do they do? Thanks.

    My take on the Quadra 950 PSU

    Well done! They are noisy beasts, and, of late, prone to failure. After only 30 years too. @BadGoldEagle also did good work with the PSU of his Q950. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/bges-take-on-the-quadra-900-950-atx-psu-mod.35014/

    Beige G3 restoration questions

    Could it be a bus-speed mismatch problem? I'm fairly sure that G4s can run at 66MHz. It ran originally at 100MHz in the Yikes!.

    So, magnets work

    No, not at all. The idea is good. It's just something to bear in mind. As someone with 2x PM 8110s, this plan does appeal to me.

    So, magnets work

    You may want to be careful about floppies, hard discs and anything affected by magnetism.

    SCSI Zip Drives?

    The beige Epson Zip-drive. I had one of these that I bought in Sofmap in Niigata-shi Japan in 1996. This isn't mine, rather one I came across on a local auction site.

    Terrible IIsi

    Clean the board and keep it until you find someone who needs experience in basic soldering. This will be good board to practice on: removing components, adding components and so on. I was given a damaged Classic board for this very purpose and I can testify to their usefulness.

    PowerCenter 150 CPU Upgrade - Dual Processor?

    You should have a look at the Radius Rocket NuBus card. It was essentially a 68040 computer within a mac with NuBus slots (Mac II or Quadra). It's not SMP but it did allow two processors to be used by a user simultaneously back in the early 1990s albeit for different tasks.

    Error in Gamba's documentation?

    I got OS 8.1 up & running on my IIfx and I'm pretty certain I followed Gamba's instructions. It runs well with 32MB RAM. My install is here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-81-a-mac-iifx-or-maybe-just-a-68030 I haven't tried it on a IIci yet but it might work.
