As a reference, I run Dark Castle on my SE/30 booted into 6.0.8. I have an original boxed copy. I have never actually tried booting from the disk; I always boot from HD and then start the game. It does not work however, if I use ‘040 accelerators in the SE/30.

Wonderful work!

Nice work! Mine are white with metal clips. I’ve never had any issues fortunately.

Looks great @inertialcomputing. Do you know roughly when these might be available for purchase? I'm working on refurbishing a 550c.

That's been on my mind too. I hope all is well. I tested the 2MB SIMM and it worked well for me.

A DOS card recently sold on eBay and it got me thinking; is it remotely possible to convert a non-DOS compatible board to be compatible, e.g. by adding the missing internal video connector? The extra SIM slot looks easy enough to add and may not even be necessary to have in the first place.

Man, that looks great. Inertial should sell these instead of the 2.5 inch SCSI2SD. If not I'm sure a bunch of folks here are interested if you make a few.

Thanks. Yeah, backed up System Folder is always a good idea. For some of my Macs I have an image of the base install always ready to go. To each their own I guess. I mostly agree, but I also enjoy using System 6 and System 7 on all my machines that can run it. With maxed out RAM it's hard to notice a difference in performance between 7.6 and 9, except for boot which is certainly a lot faster on 7.6. In any case, I certainly wouldn't want to be without 9. I originally intended to go down a similar path as @jeremywork above (and I have in another Mac), but for the T

Sounds like 9.1 is the way to go. This was what I had in mind too. I might give the HFS+ back port a try instead. Thanks!

Yeah, that's how I feel too, but people on 9.2 seem to swear that it performance improves, not suffers. But that might just be confirmation bias. Interesting, thanks. So that's another reason to pick 8.6 rather than 8.1. I have a 128 GB Kingston SSD so there's plenty of room if I want to follow you lead and make partitions for both 8.1 and 8.6. Are you using HFS for all four partitions or only the first?

I'm running Mac OS 7.6.1 on my TAM with a Sonnet Crescendo/L2 G3 500. That's what the machine shipped with and I usually always have a partition with the original OS version for period authenticity. More often than not this is also the fastest option. Anyway, I'm planning on adding Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 on separate partitions and wanted to see which versions TAM owners prefer and recommend. For Mac OS 8 I assume that 8.6 is the way to go to reduce 68k emulation as much as possible. As for Mac OS 9, EveryMac and Wikipedia list the maximum supported version as 9.1, but I get the impr

Spectacular!

My understanding is that new board production is on hold at the moment, but that you can order anything that is listed as in stock.

F/w 3.07 works just fine with System 7.5 on my SE/30.

I think both are very interesting, but my vote goes to a breakout box. Feels like that opens more exciting and new options.
