SteveHere Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I've got a new to me Power Macintosh 6100 that came with the DOS Compatibility card (Houdini II), but no cables for attaching it. I've already started designing an adapter board to replace the difficult to find and expensive Apple Part Number 590-2014 splitter cable based on the pinout online here. Before I go to the trouble, I thought I'd ask the good people here on 68kMLA if there's anything out there for the DOS Compatibility card like this? Has this already been done? Would having this design help anyone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Byrd Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi Steve, nothing that I've ever heard of - you'd be the first. DOS compatibility cards were somewhat derided over the years as they were never as good as pure x86 hardware but now they're becoming popular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Houdini II that I've always wanted to get running in my Quadra 700, but misplaced the cable during a move. I'd love to have a replacement - if you build some adapters I'd be happy to buy one from you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaPorta Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 The huge win for me would be if someone, someday, somehow, made a simplified adapter to allow connection of the DOS Card in a 6100 to connect directly to that absurd connector on the AudioVision 14" monitor instead of requiring TWO adapters!

BadGoldEagle Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Once I'm 100% done with the QuadrATX, I'll start working on an adapter for the Q900/950 with MIDI out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnold.exe Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I ended up with one of these cards and would be down for one of these adapters, as mine came without the cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
