    The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

    i saw a few of these boards while i was at VCF SW and i gotta say i am very impressed with your work. hopefully in the future we can have something like an FPGA SE/30 especially considering a lot of the original hardware is dying on those. (ask me how i know)

    Katheryn's Conquests!

    so unfortunately my car (2004 honda pilot) has brakes that need to be replaced with my dad's help, so i ended up riding my bike over and picking up some of the stuff. sure enough i am not dreaming, i saw a color classic ready for the next time i'm available to get it. THANKFULLY the color...

    Not gonna lie when I first saw these pictures I went "HOLY S#@*!" rather loudly. Especially with the sight of a Color Classic!

    6100 ATX PSU possible?

    looks more than adequate to me, i should try this. i just used the TFX one because it's what i had sitting around. i should look into using the original PCB as a mount, i never even thought of that!!!

    PowerMac G4 MDD unstable after bus speed mod

    I've had a G4 MDD that had issues at a higher bus speed, so I underclocked it back to 133MHz. A good amount of early G4 MDDs are like that in my experience. A good idea would be to get a motherboard that is already clocked at 167MHz if you're unsuccessful with the bus overclock.

    6100 ATX PSU possible?

    so it indeed does work but you're gonna have to find another place to put the power switch. i tried rigging it up to an empty area on the PSU but sometimes it gets stuck. i used a dell optiplex 390 desktop (not minitower) TFX power supply for this, removed the ATX cables, installed the 6100...

    6100 ATX PSU possible?

    i might actually try this given that my 6100's ASTEC (ugh...) power supply is making a weird smell, and i don't have the components to fix it... will update you all with the results

    6100 ATX PSU possible?

    apologies for reviving a dead thread but the power supply in my power macintosh 6100 is nonfunctional. i am looking to adapt it from an ATX standard power supply i'm fairly certain its possible but you'd wanna use a smaller power supply like flex ATX, TFX, or pico... below is the pinout for the...

    spotted a very interesting G4 EVT prototype on ebay

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/235994267707 sooooo uh, this is on eBay, and it looks to be a normal digital audio or graphite G4. until you look at the pictures and see the motherboard has the 4pin power connector for the CPU and the extra screw post that provides 12V for QS cards. if anyone here in...

    PowerMac PCI System 7.5 Video Card Options

    curious, why are you going for 7.5(.3-5?) over 7.6.1? and this may be out of your scope but mac os 8.5 and 8.6 are almost completely PowerPC native and run much better on these machines.
