    So, some ******* on eBay is selling Macintosh Classic Reloaded boards, in specific violation of the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license and even stripped part of the silkscreen off that even identifies it as my board.

    MacEffects is the only commercial vendor, thus far, permitted to sell the Classic Reloaded.

    If you want to help out and report the item as fraudulent or counterfeit, please look up the ebay seller 'svintag'.

    I will be filing a VeRO complaint, in due course.

    Looks like the item may have been taken down, I don't see it on their eBay seller page. I hate when this happens -- I'm sure a lot of work went into making the design for those reloaded boards.

    Yeah they were taken down for now - but no doubt they'll be back. I did spot another seller, but that one had all the OG silkscreen on and was clearly surplus from a batch, and being sold for less money so that one i was fine with.

    It's curious the level of vitriol and hate directed towards TD sometimes - with no clear reason as to why.

    We seem to live rent free in some people's heads...

    My Power Macintosh 9600/300 build is finally complete!

    PM9600-G4-512M-R7K.jpg
    I've replaced the CPU with a Sonnet Crescendo G4 @ 400MHz with 1MB L2 cache, replaced the stock ixMicro Twin Turbo with a Sapphire Radeon 7000 with the full Mac ROM (swapped ROM chip) and the March 2002 Radeon driver. On top of that, i've managed to scrape together 512MB of the MOST ridiculously hard to find, and most insanely priced RAM ever - 8 x 64MB 168-pin 5v EDO DIMM's.

    I have a Sonnet Tango 2.0 to go in it next, and i want to try and flash the Adaptec 2940 U2W I have to get some native 68-pin SCSI action going on in there. Then - I think I need a DEC-21140 based PCI NIC to add to it because the onboard 10Mbit is just painfully slow at transferring ISO's and .toast files over.

    Super!
    I'll get it soon the newertech Maxpowr G4 400 Mhz for my 9600/300, 100 Mbit Apple network card and one 128 MB RAM stick. RAM for this computer is really rare and very expensive.
    Have you already added a 100 Mbit network card? Does it work faster than 20? 🤔
    Did you get to flash 2940 U2W?
    9600 is my favorite Mac!

    P.S. memory is installed from the last slots, why? I read about it on macos9lives, but there's no explanation.

    What an offer! Can't believe no one hasn't offered to take care of that baby yet.
    I've been looking for a system 7 machine for a while.
    Just checked the shipping price of 14.0 lbs (6.4 kg) from UK to DK -it ain't bad -does the 😎 offer still stand @Kai Robinson ?

    Best regards

    THE FLYBACK HAS BEEN LOCATED! For some reason the bag it was in, had been put in the 4th floor kitchen/canteen/bar area of the office i work in...uhhh...why, i don't know.

    However, that means that fingers crossed, the Plus will be fixed soon!
    Kai Robinson
    I have literally *lost* the flyback transformer i received in the post. I had it, in a bag, and then i've put it down somewhere and it's been tidied away somewhere - goddammit >_<
