• Reply DOS-on-Mac card- This is a card for the PowerMac 61/71/8100 series computers (it fits in the PDS slot), featuring a 133(if I recall correctly) mHz 486DX, and a 72-pin SIMM slot (empty). If someone wants this, I do have a 32-meg SIMM for it, but you'll have to make a good offer... :-) Oh, and I can't say for certain that it would work in a PowerMac 6100, as this thing is pretty big... Anyway, I bought it on eBay a couple years ago, and had great fun playing with it, but I was frusterated by the lack of modern software support- this was before the PC Setup 2x software became free/shareware. With those drivers, this should make for a kick-ass card! Oh, and I think I still have the special cable somewhere...


• This is a rather interesting item- a RastorOps "24L" NuBus video card, along with an "Accelerator Board II", which, from what little info I can find, is an early QuickDraw accelerator. These were pulled from a working (I presume) Mac IIfx at that recent school surplus sale where I picked up that PowerMac 6500... Anyway, the video card seems to have the full amount of RAM (though I don't know how much the total amount of RAM is). LowEndMac has a page devoted to this card, but they don't even mention the Accelerator Board (rare item?). Here's that link: http://www.lowendmac.com/video/rops24l.html


• Also up for grabs is an "Apple Macintosh II Video Card", which was also pulled from a Mac IIfx. It looks just like my Toby Framebuffer card, but doesn't actually say Toby anywhere... Anyway, all the RAM sockets are full, so this might be of use to someone.


• Next we've got another DOS card (I love these things), this one a pull from a PowerMac 6100. Again going from memory, it's a 66 mHz 486, with a single (empty) SIMM slot (taking up to 32 megs). I don't think I have the special cable for this one, but they do pop up on eBay every now-and-then. It does have the (semi-rare) 'right-angle adapter', so it can fit in the 6100 by laying sideways. Oh, and this one has the "SoundBlaster" expansion card! Wheeeee!!! Perhaps the coolest thing about this card is that, due to the hybred nature of the early PowerMac's (they seem to have used a lot of the guts of the later 68k machines), it will work in any(?) mac with a 68040 PDS slot! Please see this link for a great description of both this card and all the other 68k Macs it'll work in: http://home.earthlink.net/~glimmung/quadrados/quadrados.html


• Lets see... As much as I love it, I'm willing to let go of HAL-9000, my Quadra 950. Since he's such a monster, shipping would be a serious cost problem, so just email me or post here if you're really interested...


• I've got two working PowerMac 7600/132's that need a good home... They're both in need of working power supplies, but other then that, they're in great shape. No RAM in either, but I'm pretty sure they've got at least a small hard drive, floppy, and 8x or 12x CD-ROM drives. The coolest thing about these Macs is just how easy it is to upgrade the CPU, since it's on a card that you can just yank and replace. Really great case design!


• I'm also gonna let go of what used to be my main Mac- my beloved PowerMac 7100/G3-266. I'm willing to part this one out, but it would be nice to sell it as a whole unit... Anyway, it's got 88 megs of RAM, two or three NuBus video cards, that (semi-)hard-to-find 'pigtail' video cable adapter (lets you use a standard Mac screen w/ onboard video), and a floppy drive. I'm sure the part everyone would be interested in is the G3 card- it's a Sonnet Tech. G3 card, it fits in the PDS slot (also works in a 6100 or 8100). It runs at 266 mHz, and has 512k cache memory. I bought this new from Sonnet a couple years back, and I was astounded at how much of an improvement it made. Really, you can look at all the speed-comparison charts you want, but until you sit down and use this thing for the first time, you just won't know how great it is! Other then my 4-button 'Thinking Mouse', this is the single best computer product I've ever used. Really, A+, ***** (five-star), top-grade item. I've got the box, all the manuals, etc, and the card itself is in mint condition. Perhaps best of all, it's got that great-big purple heatsink Sonnet is so fond of!


• I've also still got that external SCSI CD-RW drive that I posted about here a while ago... If I remember, it's an APS drive, runs at 4(write)x2(re-write)x8(read), and is just an all-around great burner! I had a lot of fun making mix CD's and, err, making 'back up' copies of the best PlayStation games from the shop I used to work at... Ahh, good times....

Okay, that's about all I can think of right now- I've got a bunch of other stuff, but this is about all the Mac-related things I'm parting with.... for the moment..... <insert evil laugh here>
So, if you're interested in any of these things, post here or drop me a line: huckdunsany-@-hotmail.-com (please remove the "-"s to reply!). I'm hoping to raise some cash, but, as a gadget junkie, I'm always interested in trades... I'm esp. looking for stuff to put in that PowerMac 6500 that I'm beefing up right now- I'm really in need of a large IDE hard drive for it, along with a fast(er) PCI video card, the TV/FM tuner card, USB/FireWire card, and, uh, any other cool crap I can stick in there! So, now it's your turn: go rummage through your closet and see what you don't realllly need anymore!

Thanks!

heh. funnee. how much do you want for tha burner, because I am needing one that will burn playstation games, because my IDE hewlett crappard won't burn "multivolume XA" which is, I assume, the format in which PSX games are written in (I have no clue about this sort of thing) and if you could get me the software that will do the -ahem- backing up, because toast seems to be a problem too, and I need an external burner

---

I don't know why your drive won't burn PSX games- if it's fairly modern, then Toast should do it just fine... I haven't done it for at least 1.5 years, but I'm pretty sure I was using Toast 4.x with few problems. I'm not sure if you really need my drive, or if you're just looking for the right software for the drive you already have... maybe you can clarify?

Trash80-
The pic you have looks a lot like my card, but I can't say for sure until I've got my card right here for comparison (I'm at school). I'll be happy to check when I get home later today. As for the RAM stuff, I really don't know. I don't think I ever for the whole Mac RAM thing figured out- my tekneek always involved more trial-and-error then knowing exactly which type for which Mac. Finally, my Reply card looks nothing like the one in that second link you provided- that's one heck of an odd looking card! Must be for one of those really cramped enclosures, I figure. Anyway, while your card looks nothing like mine, I can say for sure that it's highly unlikely that the connector is DB-15 or HD-25 - I'm guessing the seller just doesn't know what it is. On both of my cards (the Reply for 7100 and the Apple for 6100), the connector is kinda... strange. It's in the shape of a DB-15, but it's got three rows of pinholes, in a sorta staggered configuration. Hope this helps...
As for the Reply card, I was hoping to get around $40 or $50 (w/o the RAM) for it- I certainly paid a lot more then that when I bought it, but that was a while back... Anyway lemme know if you're still interested...

What would you take just for the G3 upgrade in the 7100? Thanks!

---

I dunno- I've seen 'em go as high as $180 on eBay recently... How 'bout $150? Remember, it is mint, in the box, etc. I know this is a little pricey, but I really think it's worth it!

and what would you take fer the burner, becuase I'm needing a burner, and I also need room for the IDE DVD reader (and eventually superdrive... can you plop a superdrive into a beige G3 AIO (SCSI and IDE Bay-bee!)) does... hmmm.. 10-20$ CAN sound... uh... reletively reasonable? I don't think it's worth much than that, but, as I've said before, I'm no appraisal guy

---

Hmmm... Well, I'm hoping to get a little more then that for the burner... Like, maybe closer to $40 or $50 US...

Okay, that's all for now, folks! And please remember, I'm still looking for cool trades! I could reeeeeaaaaalllllly use a USB-to-Serial cable... hint hint...

guess what? it's a freakin' DB-15! now i've got no idea where to find pinouts!!!! BLEH! but it's definitely a Reply DOSonMac Card for a 6200/630 etc!

if you could let me know what they are for the HD-26 cable for my other one and whether or not yours has a similar patch i'd appreciate it!

TIA

but i'm afraid to try it. several of the pins are bridged together on the smaller "Chips" IC by the solder connecting a blue patch wire to the pin in the bottom right corner (as you are reading the legend) of the IC. does yours have a patch like this? looks like it might have been modified at the factory to pull several signals to ground, dunno, could you give yours a look to check? if it does, i'll take a shot of mine and email it to you for comparison.

Well, I finally got a look at my card, and I see no patch like you've got on your card on mine. I don't know if this is good or bad for you, but I say, hell, if it works then don't worry about it!
Later, folks!
