    I haven't tried booting from scsi, once I have a assembled card again I'll give it a go :) And yep, with the DB25 unpopulated it will fit without the special cutout bracket

    A thread for RackMacs

    One I have been working on for a while: It's built on a repro LCIII and Ethernet card with a version of @cheesestraws LCBM to allow for remote power on / off. Oh and a ful on SCA HDD because why use a small modern solid state solution when you can cram a large hot running server drive in there...

    Yeah my plan was to open source the RAM board designs so people can still make new boards long after I get bored with them. I have also tried to design the boards to support as broad of a range of IC's as possible, I currently have 4 designs (2x 16mb with different chip types, 1x 32mb and 1x...

    @robin-fo that's the standard one with 30 pin simms, a prototype run of RAM boards and the associated are currently in production so I'll post pictures once I get them :) @cheesestraws yeah it makes sense but you know what people are like..... Anyway for those that want 30pin simm rockets there...

    Mainly the SIMM slots..... I can't get them locally for a sensible price. Converting to 72pin simms seemed like the way to go initially but actually proved not to be workable. I ended up making a design that uses custom RAM boards which I'm sure will annoy some people but I couldn't think of a...

    Well from a electrical standpoint the add on board connector should pretty much be a 040 PDS connector so it should be possible, from a software standpoint who knows. i'm not much of a software expert :)

    Needs older GALs as it is mostly 20V8's with a few 26CV12's and a few 22V10's, the 22V10's being the only ones currently in production (In some cases 20V8's can be converted to 22V10's but not always)

    @cheesestraws No problem, I wasn't in a rush as I hostly wasn't expecting them to just work! :) A small number should be available in a month or so once the last of the parts have made their way to me, I'll do a larger batch once I have had a chance to make some revisions tot he board design to...

    Yes I did, they are a standard board to board connector of the same type (But not the same pin count) used by SCA SCSI. Can't remember the p/n offhand but they where available from digikey

    Mounting G5 Xserve in a Server Rack

    For me it was mostly to get them off the floor and out the way :) All 3 of my Xserve's have served as my primary server in the past but even the Intel one got taken out of service nearly 10 years ago now. I do want to get the G4 back in to some kind of occasional service for reasons, only...

    I did consider both but soldering the RAM leaves it non upgradeable which is not idea and cutting the slots apart seemed like a lot of effort, moving things around to make the slots fit was not actually that bad and only took a couple of evenings to do. Test boards have now been finalised and...

    Mounting G5 Xserve in a Server Rack

    Do you have the rear rails? (These: https://www.thebookyard.com/product.php?cPath=92_233_244&products_id=6710) In my experience they are almost always missing from Xserves and they are next to impossible to find. It took me a couple of years of searching to find them and even then I could not...
