CL-Amp; the options menu and file info etc. are hidden in the vertical bar next to the display (in both skins), this took some trying to find 😅 I find it neat that I can just give it an URL http://www.radio-paralax.de:8000/ (the trailing slash is important) and it just works 🎵 (Also a photo...

Yeah I guess using just the onboard video would be the easy fix, and I must admit using much higher than 800x600 or 1024x768 doesn't really do that much good in old OS'. The MacOS drivers for the Matrox were also somewhat clunky. Under BeOS with the onboard video I can set it to 800x600 with 8...

Inspired by @Phipli's thread about PPC BeOS software, I got my PowerComputing Powercenter 132 back on the desk and finally tried some more BeOS on it :geek: Using a pre-made BeOS image I was very quickly up and running, and mostly everything seemed to work fine out of the box. The only...

+1 for the archival efforts, thanks! I'd be happy to test it too, although I can't access my PPC-BeOS machine too often. Was the GoBe Productive suite released for PPC or was there an Intel version as well? (Also to note: my PowerCenter 132 is now running BeOS succesfully; I had issues with...

Thanks for the link Skate! Thanks, good points! I found this sentence "All 603- and 604-based Power Computing models are supported" so I am somewhat hopeful... I think I was at the time using the built-in graphics the machine has. I now have a Matrox Millenium II (mac-rom flashed) in it too...

Hah, nice to see this thread, just as during the last two weeks or abouts, I've been experimenting for the first time (for me) with BeOS on x86. After some struggle with finding a compatible GPU and then drivers for my sound card, it's now running nicely on my Pentium I 233Mhz with 64MB of RAM...

It's glued together and needs to be cracked open, can be done relatively cleanly (pics from my PB100s PSU):

I've been using this combo lately (when feeling lazy and not using a local FTP server or other solutions): download GetDown Classic onto your old Mac (you can get it from http://www.68k.party/software/ which is non-https so should open just fine). This utility will let you download files...

Don't worry, it is a fresh one (and being checked regularly) :) 🔋🆕

I have one, got it second-hand and used for quite a while (Win98, which was already vintage at that point). If I recall, press Fn+F7 to scale up smaller resolutions to full screen (won't look too good, but in some cases nicer than having that postcard-size in the middle).

Not the exact same but these are still available: https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI/tree/main/3D-Files/1.1/external-db25

I do wish my machine had built-in ethernet; it wasn't easy to get that Nubus-adapter and then a Nubus-ethernet card that works with A/UX as well! I read about the serial ports not working with higher speeds but didn't know about the built-in ethernet getting borked too!

Well yes, I didn't realize this until just today as I removed the stock oscillator... 😅 Had a quick peek at Mouser and couldn't find DIP 12.5Mhz part so at least I got the FULL 25Mhz for my effort! :geek:

A small success story... I've had my Centris 610 for almost 20 years now. As time went on I wanted to experiment with A/UX which meant I upgraded the CPU from the stock LC040 to a full 040, the part I was able to source for that was a XC68040HRC25M, ie. a 25Mhz part. As the oscillator on the...

I looked at my pile of 3Com Etherlink cards, and found these two notes: 3C-PC-COMBO-CBL (RJ45 + Coax dongle) -> works on 589D/E. Foxconn 07-0408-000 0035 (RJ45 dongle, number on cable) -> works on 574BT. I think I've tested these around and it shouldn't hurt trying, but it probably will only...

I might have one of those enclosures as well, might need to check on that! I had vertical SCSI hard disk enclosure that released some cap-fumes just a couple of months ago! Worked fine after a recap. I have another external SCSI CD-R drive by Yamaha. It's my go-to external cd-drive as it seems...

You might want to replace the battery in your multimeter (battery symbol on-screen), it's not uncommon for a multimeter to measure high when it's running on low-battery (reference voltage too low) Been there myself... :)

Got mine today. It's a VERY polished product, and it worked straight out of the box! Thanks to all the people involved in the design! (y) Really neat the way you used the included iPhone-style pick for pressing the buttons :D

Yes TetrisMax is great :D (Unfortunately slightly buggy, if paused at any point I find it sometimes causing the system to freeze) I just tested and yes it's just as you said; going to min. volume with Volumator the game still plays music and once quit the system volume slider is at minimum...

No graphic artefacts anymore, works great! :) I was playing TetrisMax and tried adjusting volume while playing. The top-bar blinked everytime I changed volume (I thought it did that only at minimum level) and while the bar-graph showed zero volume, the game music still kept playing (very...
