It's more like people want to use a 575 board in a MacTV case ;)

575 back panel… for use with a 575?

Are there any models floating around for a 3D Printable Macintosh 575 back panel?

I've used the card in a B&W G3 running 8.5 and I've used it in a Motorola clone running 7.6.1 The idea here is to eliminate the Mac and see if the card is just bad.

You buy one? There's never been a cheaper time to do so.

I'd move the card to a different PCI PowerMac in your collection that is capable of running 7.6.1.

Sorry to misunderstand. If you use the DOS/Win3.1 image, are you able to run any of the higher end benchmarks (like the Quake timedemo) and not have the card crash?

The Win95 has issues... so that's likely not just your machine. How does the Win98 image work for you?

If your machine can handle it, install 7.6.1 to see if the issue is the OS or hardware. The Windows 95 image is especially wonky... just like Windows 95. Use the Windows 98 image, it's much more stable.

Sorry. I should have clarified. The board in my photo is from a 4400... which is basically the board most of the clone machines. Save a buck however you can on the clones, right? I seem to remember reading something about the MFM prototypes not being about to read 800K floppies?

There are unpopulated ICs on the board near the connector. I feel like that's somehow related.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's #MARCHintosh event celebrating all things Macintosh! Consider leaving your #GlobalTalk servers up for a few more days to capture any remaining greetings, and keep the spirit of community and innovation in your heart the whole year round!

Depends on what you're doing... and how bad you want to save a PDS slot. A recent firmware update for BlueSCSI (RC2 "MARCHintosh Edition") significantly improves networking speeds.

BlueSCSI networking.

Glad you got it working!
