  • 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...
    TD Game server will be shortly offline until 2100hrs tomorrow at the latest for maintenance and upgrade.

    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.
    Anyone want a Power Macintosh 6100/66 AV?

    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

    Sidebar content has been marginally expanded as due to the amount of activity, content was getting lost.
    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!
    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 >_<
    Repairs are underway on 'the collection' - awaiting a flyback transformer from Dalbani - it must have taken a carrier pigeon to get here!
    It's not a crime to think about yourself, from time to time. It's OK to focus on what you want to do, even if what you want to do is nothing much at all.

    Relax, kick back and enjoy your life - we're only here once, so make the most of the time you have.
