if there's an Apple /// port, I sure will.

There's an Apple II version - which fits in 48K. I'd love to hear whether or not it works in your Apple ///'s compatibility mode.

I could take or leave this site, and I'm ambivalent to y'all. (Just rounding out the list of opinions!)

Oh, nobody. There were some statuses earlier that were "I'm leaving this site, I hate you guys" and "I love this site, you're the best", so I was just rounding them out with someone in the middle.
I like this site and love all of you people equally even if the feeling is not always mutual.

Does anyone have an ATI Radeon 9000 AGP card that looks like the first one in this post, with the hynix -33 RAM chips? I believe they came in MDD G4 towers, and there was also a retail version. I'm looking for a copy of its firmware, but I can't even find one for sale anywhere.

Thanks! I think the Mac 7500s all have QFP RAM, so these three are all 9000s. Looks like all are 64MB cards. The firmware from all three would still be interesting. I believe both copies on The Mac Elite must have come from a hynix -36 card like the one on the right, because the RAM clock speeds are too fast to work with Samsung 4ns RAM. You can use Graphiccelerator to dump the ROMs.

I found a photo of my 4th one, it is a second -36, so I have two of each of those.

My G4 is actually setup, so I'll drag the cards out when I get a few minutes.

I think it has a 7500 in it at the moment - weirdly I find it scores slightly better for 2D QuickDraw.

I pushed the IIfx close to its limits with this drawing. It is a 1920x1440 image with 6 active layers, some with masks and composition modes. It resulted in an 8MB file using 50MB of RAM when loaded. Saving it takes about 1 minute. However, with the right workflow it remained nice to work with.

Très chouette... the Walkman is a nice touch, at first glance make me think it was a Quicktake.

It is the gear we had at home in 1994. At the time, I was a teenager and loving this computer so much! I kept everything, including the walkman. The mug is an add-on though :)
More POV-RAY action, this time on the 8100 110.🎨IMG_1374.jpeg

Nice, I didn't realise yours was a 110MHz. You're making me want to go and find a Nubus PPC, but we have visitors staying from tomorrow and I should be putting machines away not fetching more out :LOL:

I think everyone must think that keyboard design is the biz! Massive envy. I'm assuming you basically have one area where you artfully construct a Mac setup, and later you decide to revisit another one (e.g. the IIci) so it gets substituted. Is that right?

@Snial yes I have a desk in our computer/music room that I use for different retro systems and swap n change all the time.. macs, msx, amstrad cpc etc.. but it’s mostly macs. Ps the lighting in there just happens to be perfect for photos 📷

Amazing visit on Wednesday at the System Source Museum outside Baltimore, MD! Thats an authentic WWII German Enigma machine, a Xerox Alto which debuted mouse and GUI, and an authentic Apple I! - https://museum.syssrc.com/

Finally, I can not only plug in Ethernet cables, but also get them back without surgical tools!

i usually just plug in an AUI adapter because of the recessed ports tbh...

I have an AUI transceiver from before I got the RJ45 version of this daughtercard, but it's still too thick, not one of the models with the tapered end. I ended up having to get a huge cable, and then file one end down because the plug itself was still too thick. After all that, my old router would only play nice if I put it behind an old Leviton 10Mbit/s switch. Last part serves me right for using dd-wrt instead of OpenWRT.
At the risk of sounding like a novice, how do I scroll through a large text from within openfirmware? On a Sawtooth G4.
