I have a XLR8 CarrierZIF - XLR27 R1.0 in my collection but can't seem to find any info on that specific version of this ZIF G3 carrier card. I'd love to find way to use it in my PowerCenter Pro with a 60MHz bus setting. I have 266 G3/512KB ZIF module that I'm hoping would run at 240MHz (4 x...

Does anyone know where I can find the manual and/or info on the switch settings for this CPU upgrade card? XLR27 R1.0 Copyright 1998-2000, XLR8 Inc XLR-H82K-XVJC-B572 I found some info on an older? version that has 12 switches but this one only has 10.

I think the issue could be your WiFi router. It is much more common than not that they do not bridge the AppleTalk protocol traffic between their WiFi and Ethernet interfaces (as they absolutely do for TCP/IP). Apple's long discontinued AirPort basestation products support this but not sure if...

I agree, neat machines. Reading the history, timing wise I definitely see how folks would be down on these models at the time. The much faster, cheaper Centris 650 arrived very quickly after. Taken on their own these are decent Macs compared to LCIIs and what not. I think the CD-ROM audio is...

I've always been aware of the Mac clones but I don't think I've understood/appreciated how different some were before now. I've mainly thought they were just the same as Apple's offerings in PC cases, i.e. my Umax SuperMac c500 is very similar to a Performa 6360 but without the Apple video...

Wow, great find! I also didn't know a 1400 could use more than 64MB of RAM!? I thought the max was 8MB logic board + 8MB "factory" expansion card + two stacked 24MB "user" expansion cards.

@GeekDot I saw your update to this post on your site, congrats on getting a CacheDoubler! Any chance you could post some pictures of your board here? I'm interested in confirming the value of a missing capacitor (C1) I guessed on a replacement on mine and how your jumper block is configured...

This table shows which Apple NuBus video cards support the Portrait Display: http://myoldmac.net/FAQ/Mac-vid-mon-matrix.html

This is great! The warning dialog is a little thing but will be so glad to put this on my machines without PRAM batteries. :) Anyone know if there is something like his that can disable General Controls menu blinking and set the Mouse speed on boot? along with Force32 those would likely cross...

True, but you can get ~double the performance you get on 10 Mb/s. The question does remain if that is of much benefit for what you're doing with your old Mac. (its not really for me, just fun to play with) I did some testing awhile back on this, as to not clutter this thread...

I'd heard that 100Mbps Fast Ethernet was not the performance bump you'd think it was under classic Mac OS so I did some testing a while back to see what was what at least on a PCI Mac where 100Mbps Ethernet cards are not that hard to find. I used an AppleShare network speed testing tool I...

This should work in any Mac with a PCI slot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183693476592 (I have one I've used in a 6500) Mac drivers here (I don't believe any of the Apple distributed Ethernet drivers (extensions) support this Ethernet chipset)...

I just found out about this company, Rome Tech Batteries, that makes new PRAM batteries for old computers, somewhat oddly (since they have ones for the 500 series, 1400, etc.) I don't see one for the 190/5300... I guess someone could ask them...

You're welcome. I have two more for you though :) It was bugging me that under the Version section Processor showed "undefined", I googled around it appears that Bookworm broke the way this was being queried under Buster. I found a different command that works on both...

I think this is the relevant section: It looks like it is trying to send a postscript job to the Imagewriter. Could likely be working (not that I know how you'd test!) # Function: Print Page (Send Real Print Job) print_page() { echo -e "${BRIGHT_CYAN}Sending Test Print to Available...

To enable the Ethernet port stats in the RPi Monitor homepage and statistics edit this file: sudo pico /etc/rpimonitor/template/network.conf Uncomment the config (remove the leading "#") from these lines: dynamic.10.name=net_received dynamic.10.source=/sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes...

This might be an odd question but thinking about this incredible project and my past experience replacing the IDE hard drive in a PowerBook 150 with a CF card got me thinking about the similarities. My understanding is Apple essentially implemented an IDE (ATA) controller on the 68030 bus but I...

Thank you so much for this! I have used the heck out of my MacIPRpi 5, it's essentially become the hub of all my retro computing activities on my home network since I set it up in 2021. Low power always on bridge machine/retro file server, print server, browser proxy, and even bench "PC" next to...

The Macintosh TV might appear very similar in specs to the Performa 550 but it's my understanding that they have very different logic board architectures. The Macintosh TV having more in common with the LC II, Color Classic and/or Performa 600 (16 bit data bus with lower RAM ceiling, 16MHz IO...

A Greenville/Canopus ADVC-55 would be nice for this, fairly compact, composite/s-video capture to Firewire DV out. No drivers required on your Mac. Unfortunately it looks like they aren't cheap when they come up on eBay... https://www.adc.ucsc.edu/tutorials/digital-video/advc-55
