My CF-IDE only has two screw holes, so I just put a couple zip ties around the bracket arms like this. "Less than ideal", I concede, but the ties hold one end on and the IDE cable holds the other. If flops around a little when I move it but, the broken plastic in that machine flops around more :)

There's a plastic bracket that holds the hard drive in. Remove the hard drive, wire tie the IDE adapter to the bracket, and stick it back in. That's what I did in the 640 CD.

They make short 4-pin power cable extensions. Easier than messing with the wiring harness IMO.

Is your CD-ROM dead?

Yes, they’re the same pin out.

Thanks. I meant the image; the only difference is the extra decompression step, right?

I had a couple with AM28F010s, swapped them to AM29F040B (non LV) and they programmed fine with the Mac app and work great. Is there any reason to use a 512K ROM on these since they have room, versus the 128K ROM?

This is the CF I have in a 6500 and a 640 CD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009X3MNU/ In the same Startech CF-IDE adapter in your screenshot.

You can also do it with the built in camera app on the iPhone. Make sure the "Live" icon is enabled. Then later when browing the photo, select "Live" in the upper left corner and then "Long Exposure"

Another way is to get a PCI Radeon 7000 with DVI and put it into a PCI slot on the 6500. Then use a DVI to HDMI cable and a cheap HDMI capture stick. I’ve been able to capture the screen this way

This is what I use for the clamshells, along with a generic 24V supply: http://www.bixnet.com/cntc11.html

2.5 MB :D

I have NiMHs in my 640 CD. The voltage is lower but it doesn't seem to care. They can leak but not nearly as often or as much as alkalines.

That means 3.3V supply, but accepts 3.3V or 5V inputs. See table C.7.1 in the datasheet addendum. They cannot run on more than 3.6V supply.

The bixpower adapters work with my clamshell, with a generic 24V 3A supply.

Could be worse, could be 60 pounds

Yes, I would think a PC133, PC100, or PC66 would all work.

Is your 512 MB a PC100 or a PC133? OWC only lists the PC100 as compatible with the clamshell, which I think is wrong. But if it's a PC133, maybe that's the issue. I have a 256 MB that works in my tangerine clamshell, if I decide to upgrade I suppose I could send it to you.

My Performa 640 DOS Compatible makes this sound very infrequently, even after being recapped. I’d love to understand why. I like the suggestion of removing the sound card on the DOS card. I could do if for mine, but it would be difficult to tell if it made a difference.

I had one in worse shape than that, recapped it. It would only power on if I flipped the power four or five times. Washed the board, dried it, put it back in. Powers on every time now.
