Looks like the case is OK. You might want to install a Raspberry Pi 4, and download and install PiMega 4. This is an excellent Amiga emulator that runs faster than any real Amiga, and it also includes a fully working Shapeshifter (Mac emulator). You’ll need to buy a licensed Amiga 1200 Kickstart...

That is a lot of parts being discontinued at once. I see they are accepting orders thru June 29, 2024 with deliveries thru December 28, 2024. My guess is there are a lot of AI chips that AMD has announced and they want to start building, but there is little available space at their Fabs so they...

The CPU and FPU look OK.

If you are just looking for an LCD monitor that works with an Amiga, then you might look into a Dell SE2722H 27 inch monitor. This monitor supports 15 KHz video, and has been conformed to work with Atari ST computers for the past two years. There is a thread on the Atariage forum discussing this...

Good luck with your Harlequin 128K. New Spectrum ZX case/keyboard/membrane are available.

You will have to install drivers for the graphics card, depending if you are running OS9 or OSX.

Info on an ATX to 10 pin adapter for Macs https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/iici-etc-atx-to-10pin-adapter.43391/

OWC has sold external drives with FireWire/USB2/USB3 but they seems to be sold out in the US. There is a distributor in Europe that seems to have some stock https://www.megamac.com/products/owc-mercury-on-the-go-pro-2-5-ssd-hdd-enclosure-with-firewire-800-usb-3-0

Thanks for the info on SD cards. The first Raspberry Pi was released in February, 2012 and after selling millions of these SBC’s that use the micro SD card as primary storage - they’ve proven very reliable.

Looks good. I plan on getting one if the incompatibility with mechanical hard drive can be resolved. i like the Caymac Vintage logo - spent a week on vacation on Grand Cayman this year.

Macintosh Librarian released a video on her YouTube channel upgrading her Mac clone, installing a BlueSCSI and demoing the CD switcher

About two weeks ago, BlueSCSI released their CD Switcher program which is described by “This utility allows you eject and insert another CD. Place up to 100 images in a folder called CD3 (where 3 is the SCSI ID you wish to use) on the root of your SD card. When clicking “Switch” it will eject...

On Adrian’s Digital Basement YouTube channel, he recapped a Centris 610 about a week ago and today he posted a video on how he overclocked a Centris 610 just using parts he salvaged from other boards Very interesting. He also added a crystal to the Ethernet circuit, so it worked after...

The ATI Radeon 8500 and 9000 were the best cards for gaming IMHO. The Radeon 7000 was a low end gaming card. Note the fan on these cards get loud after 3-4 years, so you need to install a new one, which is a simple task. Ball bearing fans tend to last longer.

Remember your G4 only has a single CPU core - doing more than 1 thing at a time will slow it down. Wasn’t a problem back in the day, unless you were benchmarking. I think we’re all just spoiled when even a $50 Raspberry Pi computer has 4 64 bit CPU cores at 1.5 GHz or faster.

I’m pretty sure the retail OSX 10.4 Install was on a single DVD

I’m wondering if your Performa 6214 was involved in the Apple recall of certain Performa 62xx machines. Apple wrote a program to detect a defective cache on these machines, and OS8 would NOT install on these machines without the fix. See...

The Apple built graphics cards for that machine was a 32 MB ATI Radeon 7500, 64 MB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX, or 128 MB GeForce4 Ti. The GeForce4 MX was a good card - much better than the 16 MB ATI Rage Pro shipped in the prior generation G4 Digital Audio.

Nice computer. What video card is installed?
