A couple of things: (1) It turns out I don't have the Portrait Display card at all, but rather the Mac II monochrome video card (820-0285-A). This card appears to be incompatible with the Portrait Display based on the lack of image and total black screen (2) The Portrait Display works perfectly...

I’m using an authentic Apple 13w3 cable. I’ll try the 8,24GC and see what happens.

I picked up a Portrait Display around the same time I purchased my other IIfx. Of course, there's problems: (1) The Portrait Display does not show an image at all when connected to its Portrait Display video card (only the front LED indicator light and the fan inside the monitor work) (2) If I...

Awhile back, I purchased one of these Adaptec SCSI cards for my B&W G3. The card itself works perfectly fine and I can mount all of my external SCSI hard drives in OS 9.2.1 without issue. The problem I'm facing is when I open the PowerDomain control utility, I get two error messages - the first...

Updating this as I tried a "newer" NOS HP 95a cartridge from circa 2004 and it also suffers from smearing. I haven't been able to source a last-generation 95a cartridge from 2007-ish for free or cheap, but I would image that all of the 95a cartridges from any era are all suffering the same fate...

Thanks for the info. I wouldn’t write-off this board though - sound is strong and all the other ports work as they should (NuBus slots included).

I picked up another IIfx a couple of weeks back. Motherboard is in decent shape (all original caps) and it came with 20 megs of RAM. Couple of things: (1) The power switch in the back doesn't seem to work - more on that later (2) The IIfx came with the HD carrier/sled for 5.25" drives, not the...

Was this the SE/30 in Brantford by any chance?

I stand corrected. I got confused with Riven - The Sequel to Myst. That (and the accompanying Making of Riven movie) requires a minimum 90MHz PowerPC processor to run. The original Myst only requires System 7.0.1 or higher, although I swear I had a PPC only version somewhere. This is all part of...

I only have the PPC version

It does, and that's what I was using before I got the A1016. Only problem with the B&W G3 keyboard is it omits certain features not found on the extended keyboards, like volume control and CD eject (although you can use F12 as a substitute for that). The USB cord could also be longer, but...

Picked up an A1016 wireless keyboard. Currently using it with my Mac Pro 1,1. Did the Apple wireless keyboards ever have a feature where it could power on the Mac from a cold boot? I realize that this is a ridiculous question since the keyboard has to be synced first to the Mac in order for it...

I’m south of you, outside Toronto. If you ever want to make a trip down the 400 let me know.

Where are you in Ontario? You’ve been posting a few threads requesting parts. I’ve got some stuff from a Plus and 6100 I no longer need. It’s sometimes better to buy local than having to deal with some unnecessary aggravation on FleaBay.

Despite some shortcomings, it’s definitely one of the better NuBus cards to splurge money on. If I can find the peripheral kit and bracket I’ll be one step closer to perfection.

Good to know. My board was recapped before I bought it. Haven’t had any issues with it in the 8+ years of ownership minus swapping the power supply

Is C1 still prone to explosion even after recapping the entire board?

Tried different video drivers. The only other one that works reliably is VGA (Version 3.0). Still doesn’t fix the freezing issue I have when I open Windows using File-Run in DOS.

I checked the C:\DOS directory - I have mouse.com enabled and I’m currently running Version 8.20 of the Microsoft Mouse driver. Perhaps there’s a bug somewhere in DOS 6.1 where the mouse cursor likes to randomly disappear or there’s some compatibility issue between DOS and the OrangePC card or...

Will have to double-check. I have Microsoft Mouse and Logitech drivers installed on the Windows side. Will do. It's just odd that Windows started hanging after I installed my Sound Blaster drivers for the AWE64. It's fine if I use Command Prompt and type in "Win" at C:\> Color Palette is...
