I would be beefing my 610 up too but it died a while back. my dream drool-onto-keyboard setup
2gb internal HD
8x internal CD-ROM
external Zip 100
1 MB VRAM (2 x 256K)
68 MB RAM (you already have that - nice!)
a nice multi-res monitor (15"+)

get another one and do a double decker hack with internal cdrw and internal zip, and a few internal hdd bays with the extra case/space.jt: power tools, bondo and spray paint are good things!

Whatta nifty idea... pity they have the slightly curvy bits on the side, or you could stack it sideways... and then. um. when it's sideways you could... ...well you could have it sideways and see where to go from there!  http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macreleased/images/6100.jpg dana

15 minutes and ten thousand pixels later...A Quadra 61,0610 3 internal 3.5" drive bays, scsi cdrom and cd-rw, floppy, and lots of ventilation, enough room for a VERTICAL PDS card. Perhaps even a floppy and a zip if you needed!.
VERY COOL! just add the zip slot on lower case and will be PERFECTION! I don't have a 610 series case, is flopslot same as 605? that one is a scootch too narrow but height is ok for ZIP if alignment is spot-on. awesome mp3 box. great job vrhackmaniac!jt

Oops - I didn't think of that. 610's (the ones I've seen) don't have the little rounded middle chunky bit cut out, that pic was originally a 6100 :D. I'll have a bit more a play with the pic and have my people get back to you :D.
have your people contact my plastic fish, they've been nagging me so much that i put the little buggers to work doing my calendar.jt

nothin' dumb about ya kid, just cut down on the IMin' when you're hanging here and your posts will better reflect yer intellect *ooh, poetic even! and look who's postin' this kind of advice, it is to laugh! * anyhoo, connect which, just the the cases to make a pure 68k or the cases/mobos to do a duplex hack?jt cooling/aiflow incompatabilities might make the duplex version a nutcracker! i'd stick with one or the other myself, maybe stack a straight 68k on top of the ppc hack if i were to follow dana's suggestion.

that would be my advice regarding a duplex hack (besides the seperate third story).*the only thing you forgot was the chainsaw, that's the fun part for me, but Ti's a little young for playing with one of those so i won't mention it  * jt

If I had a Quadra with extra 2 drive bays to hack around with, I'd put in a 2GB drive A/UX with on a 1GB partition, OS 8.1 on the other gig, and an external CD-R/RW drive (better than Jaz or Zip, IMHO) in addition to the built in CD-ROM drive, and QuadDoubler.

Ok danamania that 68k/PPC co mac has already been done its called "SuperMac"! But that was with a printer cable on 2 seperate monitors. I would like to ether merge my 610 an 6116CD together or shove the 6116 board in the 610, I though need some help with the merging how would I do that? two more things, how would I do a paint job and not damage the beautiful Macintosh, Apple, and Model logo? Is there such thing as a SCSI cable with more than 2 device hook ups, an internal one? Thanks!Jeremy

you could probably keep the two front bezels seperate if you are going to paint it the same color as original, there would slill be a line in between and redundant graphics so that's not how i would proceed. the apple logo would not be hard to mask, might even want to drip wax into it to clean out later. actually, i wouldn't be at all surprised if they could be popped out, never tried it. model designations are sometimes on inserts that might be handled the same way. the screenprinted macintosh designation would probably not be salvageable, masking off a panel or creating a recessed well and using the original logo portion down in it is the best suggestion i can think of short of creating a silk screen stencil and reprinting the graphics.a decent pc store should have multiconnector internal scsi cables. jt

Make your own internal SCSI ribbons, it's a lot cheaper. You need 50 pin IDC cable and some SCSI crimping connectors. Oh, and a vice.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

collecting old 68ks is a vice, if you forsee a need to make make than one cable, i agree, making your own is the way to go, when i do so, i use the vise out in the shop, my vices get enough of a workout.
