    Question re. buying and selling in Scandinavia

    For now, i'd say post in the EU section, as iirc you're still part of the single market which means cross border shipping shouldn't be as much of an issue as it would be for say, someone in the UK now outside the single market, looking in through the shop window of things that are now...

    Adelie help: rage 128 + Xorg = display initialization failed

    You can disable it in the xorg.conf file - there should be a line for HW Accel that you can comment out.

    Adelie help: rage 128 + Xorg = display initialization failed

    What driver are you using? @Action Retro had to disable hardware acceleration to get Rage 128 working in Linux using the r128 driver, iirc.

    Source for RAM?

    You're actually correct, unless you have one of those rare IIci machines that had the parity chip in it, parity is ignored. On the SE, the pins aren't even connected.

    Source for RAM?

    1MB SIMM's are now open source: https://github.com/hegars/1M-30pinsimm Relatively easy to build your own, now! Same github has 4MB ones listed, too. I've built both variations, they work just fine in my SE/30 :) The chips are available from UTSource - $1.58 per chip, you need 2 chips per simm...

    PowerMac G4 DP-500 And Studio Display - Small Miracle

    It always boggles my mind how many people ship stuff with barely any packaging that are obviously fragile - if i'm paying a large amount for P&P - i expect some actual care and attention in the packaging portion! Good find btw - G4's have a decent selection of parts still available from some...
