    MARCHintosh 2026 Projects

    Did you manage to conduct experiments with NetBoot? I've been doing this for a while and tried my luck on all server versions, starting with OS X Server Rhapsody 1.0 on Beige G3 and ending with Mac OS X Server 10.5 on G5 DualCore. The NetBoot package for OS X Server Rhapsody 1.0 contains Mac OS...

    [Discussion] Use of AI/LLM in the retro community

    I don't see anything wrong with using any technology for good. Whether it's writing code or solving some questions. It helps me. A small example: Not so long ago I got Orange386 and couldn't find applications to interact with this board. The floppy disk with the application was read, but it was...

    OrangeMicro -- Orange386

    It worked! 16 MB of RAM and a math coprocessor 80387SX-25 are installed. Since I managed to disconnect the board, I took a few pictures. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

    OrangeMicro -- Orange386

    I received a 16 MB parity RAM kit, and it worked right away. Just as it turned out, in order to save the BIOS settings, you need to set the date to 2000. I have a Network Time control panel applet installed in Quadra, which can set the current date and time in System Software or Mac OS. The...

    OrangeMicro -- Orange386

    I found an interesting page here. There is also a brochure here. I'll probably leave it here as a picture, in case the resource disappears. It becomes clear that it supports up to 16 MB of RAM, and it seems that parity memory is needed. I tried to install 2 bars with which it boot and 2 with...

    OrangeMicro -- Orange386

    Hi folks, This week I received another DOS on Mac card -- Orange386. I decided not to mix it with another topic that I opened earlier, because this card and software seem completely different. For tests, I installed it in Q950. At first, I couldn't use it because I used the wrong software...

    Help choosing accelerator/booster for Beige G3 266

    Previously, I used a 266 Mhz processor in this machine, and it wasn't very fast. Then I managed to get 333 Mhz, I noticed a serious increase in performance, it was noticeable even without benchmarks. Only +67 Mhz. I think that the difference in performance between 400 and 500 Mhz may be more...

    Help choosing accelerator/booster for Beige G3 266

    I have such a car with a native G3 333 Mhz, previously used 266, and it's noticeably slower. 500MHz G3 ZIF -- great. You can also install a more productive G4 ZIF here, from Yikes, it works great, but you will have to install an extension, for example, from XLR8T, otherwise the OS will not know...

    Shopping for Power Macintosh 7300 ram

    I bought a few of these for PM9600. Crazy price, moreover, it seems to me that it used to be cheaper.

    DOS on Mac

    @NJRoadfan, Yes, you're right, there's a built-in voltage regulator here, so magic smoke didn't come out. I know that it is possible to install more efficient processors, such as Cyrix i586, but this will require an adapter. I haven't seen such adapters on the local ads site, so I decided on...

    DOS on Mac

    Replaced the processor with a Reply DOS on Mac (PDS) card, which is installed in Quadra 950. I was hoping that Intel's heating would be not much less than Cyrix's, but... This Intel is also hot as an iron, apparently I will have to put a small cooler to reduce the heating. I took the idea here...

    Driver search for OrangeMicro Grapper+ SCSI + Serial

    I have an OrangeMicro Grapper+ SCSI + Serial board, SCSI works without special extensions or control panel, but as I understand it, two Serial ports need an extension. I looked in the garden, but I didn't find anything suitable. I also tried to search in webarchive, but the download links don't...

    DOS on Mac

    I came across a great topics (1, 2) here about the expansion card for Q950. After ordering on January 12, I received it yesterday and it is already installed and working today. :) Due to the fact that the boards are very small, the minimum order is 5 pieces. Now DOS card on Q950 looks much...
