Thinking someone who knows emulation should start a general PowerBook resurrection topic? Others invited to join the fun: - Arduino peripherals conversion boffins for Keyboard matrices and ADB KBD/TrackBall (and TrackPad . . . BLECH!) - Creative printed parts whizzes. -battery pack tacker - etc...

Thanks, I hope somebody else will implement a DOA PowerBook reincarnation with it. Great price I think?

$25 Zero 2 W with WiFi antenna connector installed, headers included/not soldered so low profile for Duo build and on the way! ;) So if I ever want to hang anything off the headers, they'll be the RA variety. Now I can have some fun after I box up the PowerBook 100.CM4 build while I wait for...

Found the panel I got off the 'Bay and it's 8:5 1920x1200! Wondering about the odd bezel fit discrepancy now? Also realized I can router out whatever size 4:3 hole I choose larger than any Duo's LCD. :D https://www.ebay.com/itm/395636995491

Don't remember the panel's specs, but it's a wider aspect ratio than the PowerBook 100's 8:5 640x400 resolution, so it's sounding like a pillared emulation/full screen Linux setup for that one. Everything for that hack was boxed up and relocated willy nilly getting set up for a Queen Size air...

Hear here! :D

I just got crosseyed reading what's gone on in this thread! If you're talking DAW, check out OS9 Lives. It's more G4 era oriented than G3, but a fun gang nonetheless.

@alk knows his stuff! Apparently inactive for a few years, but a very creative boffin from the day. ;)

IMHO, there's no reason in the world to ditch an LC form factor Mac with sentimental value. If you haven't the cubic for that in whatever current or future domicile, adopt fly-tying as your hobby.:ROFLMAO:

Wow! Fabulous reference linkage, thanks. Looks like I'll probably set up well enough to do OS9 in sheepshaver on the CM4/Pi4 platform at some point? Apparently it had not yet become compatible with Pi4 four years ago. I wonder if that's been achieved? Wondering about the limits of emulation on...

Bump: Topic no longer stickied, but is required reading for anyone playing around with SCSI devices. Thanks again @trag

Likely so! That's crazy-cool thinking there! :) edit: could someone test that in emulation?

Cool beans! So we're up to a 40MHz overclocking for 160MHz with onboard multiplier setup? Habitually clueless here: :rolleyes: Is there any possibility of hotwiring resistors to the the CPU leggage kludge to enable the 603ev 5.5x multiplier to yield a very slight 183MHz overclock of this...

Is there a greater problem with the 603ev aside from the need for a 3.3V hack for the ev processor's lifted power input legs?

Might as well ask here, topic title edited within edit window: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 harnesses the compute power of the popular Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is a system on module that delivers the power of Raspberry Pi 5 Going with the CM4 because it's expensive...

I've got an empty PowerBook Duo in need of a complete rebuild with current LCD. CM4 setup won't fit, that one's going into my original, bought new PowerBook 100.

Oh well, a 133MHz 5300ce might still be a fun project? Wondering what features/hardware might be impacted by the kick in the @$$ of a 40MHz bus upgrade?

Cool! Then we have two fairly simple devices to clone that just might be melded into a nice little accelerator with cache in the long run. Now we just need someone who can do this kinda crap to step in! 🙃

Sillier question: if this unholy union should work out, all the PALs on my Cache board are socketed, might a new Accelerator w/Cache make for an interesting challenge/development project?

Just pulled it off the board, empty MMU Socket underneath. Would 68030 built in MMU is a subset of the M68851. Will it suffice to do Virtual Memory on this machine? Silly question: are 68020s available in the 33MHz flavor? More searching, great thread @Juror22 still have it...
