Wondering if anyone has any experience with this because I'm hitting a brick wall. Not sure if this Radeon 7000 is retail or not, but it does have the DVI and S-Video ports on board (and I used to have one that was JUST VGA). I'm trying to get 7.6.1 working on my 9600/300, and the one thing I'm...

Not sure if it's the same on other Tsunami boards, but I know on the 9600 there's actually a resistor on the board that can be desoldered to disable the onboard cache entirely. Though at least for NewerTech cards, the drivers do dance around it effectively and remap the logic board L2 as L3 cache.

Just seeing this now and hmmmmm. I'm kinda deep into building up my 9600 (though it's irrelevant now because mine has since been upgraded to a Kansas architecture board) and this whole rabbit hole makes me wonder if the L2 module for the PowerTower could be used on the 9600 for whatever reason...

Bringing this thread back from the dead to say I've added an update to the guide pertaining to the AliExpress SIL3112s. Specifically, whoever or whatever makes these cards does a crap job of it, so if you have one of these cards and it's giving you trouble, I'd resolder all the capacitors. At...

So I actually made a very interesting discovery with those cards that Garth gave me to poke around with: They actually work. But not in any of my OW Macs. I tried them in my MDD. Both came up fine with no issues, complete with OS 9 support because of the firmware. But if I put them in my beige...

Speaking of the beige G3 minitower... Due to the generosity of one Garth Beagle I actually received another one of these cards to mess with. Actually, two. Because he couldn't get his original one to work. And sadly, I think we got a bad batch. Programmed the chips fine and at first one of them...

Ha, I actually just saw you put up a video about the Booster G3 for the 1400. Guessing you were in the Interware rabbit hole, too? But that's good to know. The images out there of the PCI Power Mac-compatible Interware cards almost look like they COULD have said Vimage on them instead of...

Just posting this stuff before I forget since it seems like relatively little is known about this card. I plan on getting the drivers and cross posting them as well so we have our own copy as I had to search a bit to find the thread with the right drivers (Booster v1.2.2) Anyway, photos along...

Part of the motivation to do this write up is to document what worked for me and have all the relevant info in the right place. I had been deep diving into this for hours, questioning myself the entire way and having a difficult time because it felt like each piece of critical information was...

An update to this: I managed to snag a SIL3114 and 3512 at my friend's shop, both cards destined for the bin. There are suggestions 'round the net that the 3512 can MAYBE take the SeriTek firmware and work as if it were a 3112. I plan on trying this once I get compatible chips again. (I'm going...

It's a pipe dream, but I'd love to absolutely load this thing with RAM as I've only got 128MB in it at the moment, I have more RAM coming, but not the maximum this machine can take. Which hey, that's totally fine. I know I also need to put a better video card in it too, I swapped the stock IMX...

UPDATE 7/20/25 for people in the US: Regrettably, it seems due to tariffs, Sil3112 cards can no longer be purchased from AliExpress. I've searched far and wide and at least from AliExpress.us, there's not a single card to be found. I'm not sure how this affects other countries, but at least for...

Since this comes up in Google, I thought I'd put this here for the Unimac 82D. Thought I knew where my little instruction thing went but I guess I lost it. Was going to just get a cleaner scan because my brain had an outright headache trying to make out some of the numbers, so I just took a...

First, I had completely forgotten I had posted this, my oh my. I got wrapped up in some projects that went sideways and meant to update this. So what actually had happened was I forgot to account for the bus speed difference between the beige G3 and the B/W G3. So...the problem was that with...

Originally this topic was about how I couldn't get my G4 upgrade card working in a B/W G3. Initially, I thought something weird was going on with the board revision and such, but discovered (thanks, dosdude1) that the switches on the card weren't set right, and the card was trying to run...

Hi all, Wanted to share that I've archived (on archive.org, I've tried to upload to Macintosh Garden but can't, the uploader just gets stuck) a OS X install disc intended for the Axiotron Modbook. I had one in my care a few years ago and it had one disc with it, there might be another. I am...

Thanks for posting this! I actually have an AIO that's currently pushing up daisies that I need to get off my arse and fix, and the flyback sounds like exactly the thing that's gone off in it.

Upgrading QuickTime and OpenGL might have been the missing link I forgot. I need to roll back and try it again. I was also using the ATI Installer 4.0.1 I believe. Didn’t even know there was a 4.2! Well, I know what I’m working on tonight.

So, in an effort to have a bit of fun I pilfered the Rage 128 out of my G3 B/W to see how ridiculous I could make my 4400. The only problem is...despite some things being "better" (I can do millions of colors at 1024x768 now!) unfortunately...everything else is lackluster. Finder redraws windows...

UPDATED after I took the plunge and ended up buying some RAM on eBay that looked like it should work. Thankfully it did.
