Trag, out of curiosity, is there a specific type of 72-pin 128MB SIMM that seems to work better than others in the 475?

Hey CelGen, thanks for the response. Yes, I figured ADB is what I would need. Finding a DB9 to ADB cable is not going to be easy!

Someone is offering to sell me a Wacom Digitizer SD-311e, but it doesn't have the cables for connecting to the Macintosh or power. The power cable seems pretty standard, but I'm unsure what the connection to the Mac looks like. The output on the back of the tablet is RS-232c (9-pin serial), but...

Thanks, uni. I could always get a 64MB SIMM and drop it in one of the 475s and repurpose the 32MB chip for the 550.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll likely stick with the 32MB SIMM in that case. If I've ever got a 64MB chip lying around, I'll test it and post my results. :)

Just curious whether or not 64MB SIMMS are recognised on the 550 logic board or if 36MB (4 + 32) truly is the limit. Thanks!

Cool find. Nice to have something complete like that. :)

I'm running the 40vol test at the moment with very satisfactory results in my opinion. I've done a mouse and the back of a CC and it works well. Unfortunately, I'm in Britain and it's passed the point of no return weather-wise (01 October). With brief flashes of sun and even a cloudy day, this...

Subsequent to my musings here, I contacted Mike McMaster and he confirmed that the SCSI2SD will run off straight off the SCSI interface, so there's no need to mess around with USB cables or some weird molex to DC adapter. I actually think I'll be doing this at some stage very soon...

A male to male DB-25 cable will do the trick, but I agree...less clutter if the male DB-25 was right on the end of the adapter.

Yeah, uniserver makes an important point on the drives. I've had a lot of luck with eServer 74GB SCA drives if you find them. They tend to be IBM-labelled drives. Think a few of mine are Seagate, for instance. They're still pretty abundant. I recently got two for about £13 on eBay, which I...

Full 030. Been working on my Quadra too much! :p

That adapter gets part the way there, but not fully - it needs termination. Max1zzz is worth talking to if you're interested in figuring out how to modify that board or, indeed, buy a couple boards straight from him that simply do what they need to (that's what I've done).

Yeah, I've noticed this as well. I pretty much view the SCSI2SD as useful in a 'special' machine - in my case, the LC III. However, as wonderful as it is, it's a bit costly (in relative terms depending on a person's disposable income, or the level of their spouse's understanding) to outfit one's...

It was probably a PPC 5xxx. A lot of schools had those. I remember the school my mom taught at had a 5200 LC, which I believe were only sold in the education market. I remember it had a 75Mhz processor, though we all know now how gimped the 5200 series was except maybe the 5260. Anyway, here's...

Congrats on the original Mac find. There must be loads of people drooling with envy over the circumstances of that discovery - myself included. :) The IIsi is a cool machine. It's not one I ever felt particularly compelled to buy in the past, but there's something quite unique about it that...

That's a great set of kit you have there. I've always wanted a G5 tower. That case is stunning!

Great news. :) Yeah, the LC III was the machine I bought the Floppy Emu for. Now I have two, one permanently plugged into the LC III and another one that does its duty with all my other machines. BMOW's product is simply amazing. Now if we could just figure out a way to emulate an external...

Glad to hear it. About 6 months ago, I bought an FPU chip when they were going on eBay for what I now realise was probably a bit much. However, I dropped one in my LC III and was pleased to have essentially upgraded to a full 040. That said, I don't know if the speed effect is a bit of a...
