Construct a Sonnet Crescendo PB1400?
- Thread starter LC_575
- Start date
Based on searches of the Applefritter forum I think you may be confusing MadDog's statements about fast QFP 603e CPUs as applying to G3s. From this thread:
In another thread MadDog stated he didn't believe that even the more-modern 603ev came in QFP packages. Thus I'm still faceplanting on the effort to find evidence that QFP 740s exist. (If you look at *all* of MadDog's postings he never even mentions the 740.)
Drat! This may turn out to be the case, but it doesn't really matter. :disapprove:
The OP mentioned making a "roll your own" Sonnet CrescendoPB, which wouldn't be the case even if the processor on a 1400 Processor Card could be replaced with a G3. The thing that makes my CrescendoPB G3/466 1M a much faster solution is the 1M part. Without the large cache, a "roll your own" version couldn't keep up with the "real deal" at all.
As an aside: I'm very disappointed with the item I received from eBay!
Instead of a 1400c/166 w/G3, I received a 1400cs/117 (no cache) and what TechTool Pro confirms is the vanilla, cacheless 603e/117 Processor Card. I've contacted the seller, hopefully it was an honest mistake and I'll receive the "real deal" or, at the very least, the much more capable 1400c/166 in exchange.
We'll see! :

Nope, and I'm REALLY disappointed about it too. :disapprove:
However, I've got a deal in the works with him for a hefty refund that'll be applied to a Kanga that'll wind up costing me less than $10 as a consolation prize!
Having a new Road-Apple_PlayToy, that I've always wanted, arrive at that price will make me a VERY happy camper! [

The 1400csPOS has great hinge action and no stress marks at all on the back edge of the Lid, so it's now officially a PartsBook! }

That sucks. I did inquire as to the CPU speed and they stated 1ghz...which does not exist. Needless to say I did not bid on it.
On the plus. you get an awesome Kanga. I have always wanted a working version but the only one I have had apparently was very good at killing hard drives.
Have you considered reviving the 1400cs just for S&Gs or is the logic board a bust?

There are no S****-n-Giggles to be had in playing around with any csPOS, whatever the model . . . for me anyway!
This sucker is TOAST! }
It boots just fine, if sluggardly, using the PCMCIA Adapters and Flash Cards for "Beater," my maxed out 1400c/G3/1M Crescendo with sticky hinges and irreparable lid lesions . . . :
. . . Beater's screen has been :simasimac: for some reason or other, either by hinge pinch or MEK leakage when I tried to weld it . . . :I
So all's fair in love-n-war and I really love my very first WiFiRoadWarrior, so ANY of the several 1400s in my collection are prospective DonorBooks until Beater is back in the (relatively beat-up lookin') PINK!
The Kanga will be BeaterIII, BeaterII is a nice Pismo I got as backup for HP_Mini and BeaterII is a WallstreetPDQ that was part of the craigslist package deal I did for the Pismo along with an AirPort equipped Bondi Blue Toilet Seat that's in no way fit to follow in the footsteps of my precious Beater!
