I...do not have a thermal camera 😕

That was my thinking. With the particular cards I have installed, the section of the case exhausted by the 40mm fan is mostly walled-off from the rest of the case interior, so the PSU fan probably wasn't that involved in ventilating that area. There are slits in the case lid above the NuBus...

I don't know how useful this'll be for others since it's a pretty specific use-case, but I have a couple extra toasty full-length cards in my IIci, and I was trying to come up with a way to get some air moving through that walled-off part of the case. Since these particular cards don't require...

I'm sure others were probably already aware of this, though maybe had never tried it on real hardware, but I was happy to discover that BlueSCSI's floppy emulation happily mounts 2.88MB floppy images created from flux dumps, so now there's a decent archival path for 2.88MB NeXT floppies...

I store mine loose (some of them in antistatic sleeves) in a well-labeled cardboard box...I'm very organized :rolleyes:

I also remember installing some kind of 5x86 upgrade in my 6100 DOS back in the mid-90s and it making Win95 crash. There were also clearance issues with the cooler on the 5x86 and the stock heatsink on the 601. If I hadn't removed the upgrade because of the Win95 issues, maybe I would have...

Can confirm that they're functionally identical as I happen to be using ZZG's neckboard with Bolle's video card.

I have an Apple Dot Matrix Printer model #A2M0058 that looks like this: I recently noticed that there are also apparently printers with the same name and model # that look like this: The only obvious difference seems to be the smaller logo that's been attached to the front of the case...

I remember doing the same jumping up and down when my reloaded SE/30 booted...almost tipped the desk over and ruined it all :LOL: Congratulations!

VCF Midwest is still free admission. It has a bit of a different vibe than East though. East has a lot more classes, on-site museums, etc.

And also...I really appreciate it when people write their forum/online name on their badge/nametag at these events so we can say hi to people we may have only ever "met" online. If anyone recognizes my name, I hope you'll introduce yourself and say hi :)

I look through the schedule and try to make an itinerary of talks/classes/etc that I want to attend ahead of time...allotting time for just wandering around the exhibitors of course. I will tell you that people will start lining up early Saturday morning to wait for the consignment area to...

I'll be there all three days with my wife (reigning Oregon Trail champion from your tourney at VCFMW last year :)) and a friend.

I got my bachelor's in CS at UTD in 2002-2006 (I'm exactly twice your age 😳). I haven't been back there in a long time, but it looked like it had changed a lot in some of the VCFSW videos I watched. I live way up in PA now, or I'd stop by and say hi.

I've had one connected to a //c on display in my basement for about a year. I've only used it to load disk images over Wi-Fi from my NAS, but I know it's probably capable of so much more. I use it in conjunction with the BMOW drive switcher to boot floppy images (as opposed to smartport images).
