Bet that problem's been bugging him for that long of a time too :)

Yeah those modules are pretty much unobtainium at this point and I dread the day when it fails :( I was able to grab that one at a blowout sale from some RAM/memory vendor many years ago and seems they went out of stock fairly quickly after. Complexity wise they don't look overly involved so...

Figured I'd share my experience with my Houdini II aka DOS/PC Compatibility Card setup to provide some pointers/observations/feedback so others who might be having issues with theirs know where to look when troubleshooting. Considering this is an incredibly long post, if you do not want to read...

Haven't been able to get my CS II card to work correctly either, neither on a 6400 or 6500 board (it used to work at some point but can't seem to get it to work now). It's recognized by the system as a PCI card but regardless of extension, it's not detected as an ethernet adapter. Not sure if...

Per the article posted on jagshouse.com (http://www.jagshouse.com/DOScard.html) it seems that the PM 6100 Dos Card will work more or less - under some configs perhaps with caveats - in the following machines: Centris 650 Quadra 650 Quadra 700 Quadra 900/950 Quadra 800 Powermac 6100/66

I wonder, when you "pledged" your hardware, did you apply it directly to the circuit board, or did you apply it onto a cloth and wiped carefully? How exactly did you do it?

Hi Guys, Yeah, I was pretty weary at first taking off the stock cooler since I've read the article about cracking/breaking 601's. I removed the board from the case and made sure to be extra careful when unclipping and replacing the heatsink. So far so good and no damage done *phew* Trag, after...

Hi Guys, I have been contemplating on moving the Cyrix 5x86 CPU which I am currently using in my 640 DOS Compatible onto the 6100/66's DOS Card. Since the Cyrix CPU requires an interposer which converts the 5V provided by the card's socket to 3.45V which the CPU requires, there would very...

All my machines except for the Cube and the CC are stored in my TV cabinet. Since I don't have a decent CRT for my machines I have repurposed my 40" LCD TV as monitor since it offers VGA connectivity. Kind of overkill for machines which usually just display 640x480 (the 6100/66 DOS Compatible...

Bah, I'm assuming the VRAM?

I have to admit that the description for this one isn't very specific. One can only assume at this point, but according to VRAM Chart (http://support.apple.com/kb/TA29136?viewlocale=en_US), if it's 68pin VRAM then just about all of the LC/Performa/Quadra/Centris could use it. Guess it's time to...

Hi Guys, Not sure if you guys have any use for this but I figure it can't hurt to share the information. While most Power Macs these days can or have been upgraded with either a G3 or G4 accelerator containing an exuberant amount of L2 (or even L3) cache on-board generally, in some cases...

To me personally the Radeon 7500 AGP Mac Edition is the best choice when considering the relationship between cost and performance. It fits into the cube just fine and you won't have to do any modifications to either the cube or the card other than removing the slot cover since it won't align...

... Woah! I would say you got a great deal on your cube, considering I paid about $450,-- for mine, which isn't nearly in as good of condition as yours. From what I can see by your screenshots your Cube is in nearly pristine condition, which is AWESOME! Mine may not be in top physical condition...

Hey There! My Cube has the tendency to shut off if I move it around. I found out that in my case this is caused by USB connectors on the bottom of the cube. The connectors are in terrible shape (they look VERY ABUSED, bent/broken pins, warped houing - yeah, it's ugly) so when you move the cube...

Oh yeah, not to forget, I actually upgraded the original Intel 486/66MHz with a 100MHz Cyrix 5x86 ... had to add a socket/power converter to get it working, but the difference in speed on the DOS side is VERY noticable!

Sorry for "raising the dead" so to say, but I just wanted to add my two cents... :) I own a Takky Colour Classic which is now actually fully loaded, containing the guts of a Performa 6500 with a Sonnet L2 G3/500, CS II ethernet, A/V card, and some no-name USB 1.1 board in the PCI slot. Before...

I ran into issues on my cube (stock Rage 128 and Radeon 7500) when trying to play DVDs after having installed OS 9 using the OS 9.1 disk (kept telling me that the hardware could not be found, which is weird knowing that it is an Apple-branded super drive and that it's working great in OS X...

So.... I had an epiphany a few minutes ago. Since searching for a replacement "rubber plunger" or "rubber dome" has been pretty much an exercise in futility and I really do not wish to gut a working keyboard just for a few parts, I tried to think of an alternative. I considered some type of coil...

I currently use a Radeon 7500 in my souped-up G4 Cube which can display 1080p just fine under os 9 (9.2.2) and OS X. My screen is hooked up to the VGA port because I can't seem to get the digital signal to work properly with the ADC->DVI adapter (not sure if it's the adapter or my monitor)...
