Not much of a conquest, but I bought a 128MB 72pin SIMM for $20 shipped and it's Mystic compatible! 4k refresh, 32x32 organization. It fits in the CC motherboard try without cutting. It's a bit too tall to fit past the screw hole on the Mystic, so you have to do the "snap in the SIMM after you...

I know there's a ton of threads about CompactFlash, but here's yet another. Who's actually put together a long chain of adaptors to put CompactFlash in their 68k? I'm now waiting on arrival of the following: CF->40Pin IDE IDE -> SCA SCSI SCA -> 50Pin SCSI I'm excited to see if it...

I have a Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24XP NuBus video card. It won't do any resolution bigger than 832x624 at any color depth, even though it can do 832x624 @ 24BPP. I suspected that this limitation was just cooked into the ROM, and swapping in the ROM from one of the other cards would allow...

I keep waffling back and forth about whether to put my AudioMedia II NuBus board to use in my hifi system, for digitizing high-quality audio. A big drawback is that a well-performing 68k Mac is going to need several NuBus cards -- the AMII, SCSI (JackHammer or SE-IV), and 10/100 Ethernet (if...

Here it is, after years of waiting! The DayStar Turbo601 does *not* work in the SE/30, and I'm pretty sure we won't ever convince it to. :( The good news: -With the Turbo601 installed, the SE/30 produces the "PowerMac" startup chime. This indicates it's working to at least a limited extent...

While tinkering with a jailmac SE/30 motherboard and a IIfx ROM SIMM today, I discovered that the "Load Bank A first, larger memory must be in Bank A" restriction of the SE/30 has nothing to do with its memory controller, but to do with the RAM detection routine they use in the SE/30 ROM. The...

I'm not quite sure where to go with my Takky... so here's the story. A few years ago, when my wife and I first began dating, she rented a room in a larger house, had no computer, and had no room for one. Consequently, I built her a 6500/225 based Takky with all the works: 128MB RAM, 12GB hard...

Does the Clamshell iBook have two IDE interfaces, one for the CD and one for the HD? Also, what's the speed of the Clamshell's IDE interface? (I've read that the chicklet iBooks have only one IDE interface, thus the question.) If they have two interfaces, has anyone ever tried hooking a master...

I'm considering a crazy 6100/Portrait Monitor project and would really like to run my G3 upgrade on at least a 40MHz bus. I know there have been a (very few) few 6100s overclocked to run at 100MHz or more, so it seems likely enough that I could get 40 or more out of the bus... but I don't want...

All, Wanted to report the findings of my experiments with Voodoo3 PCI video under System 7 in PCI PowerMacs. The readme file says that the drivers require MacOS 8.1, and they actually mean it. The card works fine for 24-bit color up to huge resolutions, but without acceleration. The 3dfx...

http://computor.insaneotaku.com/pci_overclock.html Has anybody here ever tried this? It seems like hocus-pocus to just stick a 66MHz oscillator in there and have it magically do its thing, but I've heard of stranger. I've got a 7X00 (I think it's a 7600, but I forget now) that I'm thinking of...

What's your favorite NuBus SCSI card? Why?

Has anyone ever tried running System 6.0.8 on the Color Classic? I would guess that by pulling the right boot and gbly resources from System Enabler 065 and sticking them into the System file you could get it to boot...

Let's all get back to talking about how great our SE/30s are, and how much we've upgraded them. Anybody try a Turbo601 in an SE/30 yet? I think you'd need a IIfx ROM upgrade to even have a ghost of a chance... Also... first post. ;-)
