I haven't tried connecting SATA DVD-ROM. Periodic inability to boot (does not see the disk), inability to format the disk, and other oddities disappeared after replacing the capacitors on these old boards. I prepared my first card in December 2022, and it works without any hassle for me...

And what's wrong? I left messages about my experience here, and these boards have been working perfectly all these years: G3 BW, G4 QS, MDD. I bought these 2 boards for PM9500 and PM9600, and they also work perfectly. I liked such boards for these computers much more, because you don't need to...

Finally, it's time when I can share the results of this card on the Macintosh Quadra 950. Disk subsystem performance when using the stock processor 68040 33 Mhz Disk subsystem performance when using the Apple PPC Upgrade card 66 Mhz On average, SEIV increases the performance of the disk...

I use DBT-120 dongle. ( Rev. B4, It's important) It had to be flashed on Bluetooth Firmware Updater, and then it works perfectly, even in OS9. Using this Bluetooth dongle, I connected the Apple Wireless Keyboard to the Power Macintosh 9600.

@NJRoadfan, It didn't help. But today I managed to solve this problem. Apparently, all my difficulties were related to the fact that I used to assemble Netatalk according to the instructions, and finally decided to switch to using ready-made packages in brew. And apparently he didn't completely...

@JDW, In general, I could not even think that this forum threads discuss only specific SIMM ROMs, not all that can be created. It's amazing for me. :) But I learned a lot of new things, thanx. Someday I will probably tell you about my experiments with the Q950, which I received this year. I...

I finally got a programmer and 8 MB ROM SIMM. First I tried ready-made images for Quadra 950, and now I'm making my own. And here's the question... do I understand correctly that at the moment the custom firmware for Quadra 950 does not support disk compression? :unsure: All my attempts to...

I also faced a problem that I can't solve. Netatalk installed from brew, version 4.2.3. Part of the log, when trying to mount the shared directory on Mac OS 9.2.2 Chooser on Mac OS 9 displays the "Share" directory, but it is "gray" and not available for mounting. I don't see any problems...

Discovered modern software for connecting AFP shared directories -- Apple Share IP Browser. This allows you to connect, for example, from System Software 7.0.1 on Quarda 950 to the general AFP catalog on Netatalk.

I always use QuickBench 2.0 to test disk performance.

@Kay K.M.Mods Thank you for the explanation. I saw the successful launches of Quadra 900 in YouTube and decided to study this topic. I found ROM SIMM here and some explanations, as well as a link to GitHub, where you can get a custom ROM. I became interested, and of course I wanted to try it...

@Kay K.M.Mods, @eric, I'm just getting ready to try it on Quadra 950. In general, I understood everything, but I can't understand why when splitting ROM, the chunks are named in reverse order? 0 chunk of firmware = file 4 1 chunk of firmware = file 3

@eric I always wanted to have OS X 10.0 or 10.1 installed on real hardware, but every time I face problems. To install these OS, you need small disks, preferably no more than 4 GB, because on G3 MT, for example, the installer does not find suitable disks. I have such SCSI disks, but they are...

Managed to fix it! The plastic had metal threaded bushings soldered into it. It seems reliable. I won't take it apart anymore, it seems to me that this plastic starts to crack every time I look at it. :LOL:

@vtgearhead, I didn't know about it. Share your configuration file, I have ready-to-use disk images BlueSCSI SSW 7.0.1, SSW 7.1, SSW 7.1.2, SSW 7.5, SSW 7.5.3, I could check it quickly enough. For me, NFS is more convenient than FTP, so I miss it when I boot these old systems.
