    Getting G3 Whisper Perch USB working

    I'm guessing that Firelink chip comes in both a square and a rectangular package? Square Firelink 82C861

    Cloning the AsantéTalk, or not

    I don't know if this is at all helpful, but here are some pics of the circuit board for the Asante Micro AsantePrint, which was the predecessor to the AsanteFast. I once asked Asante and they said the only real difference is that the Asantefast dispenses with some of the network statistics...

    LC 475 Project - Upgrades - Mods

    260 MB, but to get that you need a SIMMSaver and the lid won't close. So, in practice, maximum is 132 MB; 128MB SIMM + 4MB on motherboard.

    32 bit Clean roms for SE/30 and Tantalum capacitors.

    The socket is spec'd for a board that is .047 - .050", IIRC. Which is about 1.27 mm. These days, board fabricators seem to want to use thicknesses that are even multiples of tenths of a mm. Which gives you 1.20 mm thick boards or 1.30 mm boards. Twenty years ago you could still get 1.27...

    Can anyone lend a hand configuring a Shiva FastPath 5?

    Available at Questcomp.com for about $12. They have 9. They also list qty. 476 with a contact us for a quote, so no idea what the price on those is, but the most difficult part should be sourceable.

    Mac IIci Bourns Filter - Part specification

    From an old post of mine: Looking at the datasheet, change the 4120 to 4420 to go from DIP to SOIC. Hmm. The link to the datasheet is not good any more. But this works: file:///C:/Users/trag/Downloads/601.pdf Huh. That doesn't work. But when I paste it into a new window, it does...

    R7000 beige G3 issues

    Did a little searching on the forum here and found this from an old posting: I'm not sure if this is relevant to your experience or not. There's an archive to the old ATI drivers that a fellow maintains and I've got a book mark somewhere, but not on this computer. I really should...

    R7000 beige G3 issues

    This sounds very similar to a problem I ran into on a MDD. Playing with extensions let me identify the issue. I think it was a problem between the ATI extensions and either Open Transport or maybe QuickTime. I think the solution was to get the latest ATI extensions. I was running something...

    6100 dead G4 upgrade card.

    I saw a recommendation that you repaste the CPU/heat sink and another post telling you that you don't need to. You definitely should. Even before the year 2000, I saw 7100s failing because the heat sink grease had turned to chalk. If not done already, you should also do the same for the G3...

    6100 dead G4 upgrade card.

    NewerTech shipped a G4 Nubus upgrade for a very brief time. Too bad that the archives don't go back further at Mike's xlr8yourmac.com website. There was probably an announcement of the card on Mike's front page way back when.

    Jailbreaking the Radius PrecisionColor 24XP . . .

    I still have not done the experiment. Chips are still sitting on the kitchen table. Three years?! I really need to clean that thing.

    Tokamac build and programming XC1736 chips

    Probably not useful, but the Xilinx XC1736D is on the list of supported devices for the Needham EMP-30 programmer. That's a very old programmer. Needham went out of business in the early 2000s. It was a $1500 programmer in its day, IIRC.

    How do I force my Mac Plus to actually, correctly, identify the size of the hard drive in my external PLI drive.

    @robin-fo 's advice is good. I thought I would offer one theory on why the drive is behaving this way. Many third party formatting softwares allow one to create multiple partitions on the one disk and then select whether the partitions are visible on boot or not. A utility which came with...

    Transformers for homemade LocalTalk/PhoneNet dongles

    I have a Focus Turbonet Phonenet connector here, and on the back it says it was manufactured under license from Farallon. This is one of Focus's early ones. Later they switched to a box without the sloped front and added a termination switch, so the little plugs with resistor could be...

    Sourcing Legit MC68882 FPUs - Data

    Thank you, gentlemen, @Phipli , @zigzagjoe . I appreciate the reassurance. I wasn't too worried for the reasons you mention and I'll find something I can test them in before applying any solder. I mostly posted to add another report to what's going on. At the price they sell these for...

    Sourcing Legit MC68882 FPUs - Data

    I think I may have bought fakes for my SE/30 reloaded boards. The date code on all of them is QEED0823, which puts the year before the week, and 08 is later than any of the dates in the table. Unless they were made in 1923. Also the emblem is Motorola's not Freescale's. Mask label is...

    The Pro Audio Spectrum 16 NuBus's YMF262 FM synthesizer...

    Okay, I had all the disks in my floppy archive. Years ago I copied all my floppies to disk images. I put them here: http://sphinxgroup.org/PAS16/ Let me know if the images work. They should just be Disk Copy images. If there's a problem I can binhex them or something. I also had an...

    The Pro Audio Spectrum 16 NuBus's YMF262 FM synthesizer...

    I will see if I can find it and hope the floppy drive is still working. I haven't tried it in a while. I know it's around here somewhere.... I may have a copy already archived to a hard drive in which case the process will be easier.
