The G4 Cube appears to use Ultra ATA/66 (ATA-5), with a theoretical maximum transfer rate: 66.7 MB/s. The ZuluIDE link shows it to be ATA/33 (ZuluIDE V2) at up to 28 MB/s.

I found that SSD here in Japan: https://www.biccamera.com/bc/item/6173597/ Is this the Adapter...

I guess @Marconelly needs to do some testing of 400K, 800K and 1.44MB floppies now to find out! :)

I just finished watching your video, and I must say that SONY Trinitron monitor is very interesting, especially because it can be battery powered! What is the typical selling price of those monitors? Also of note is the fact that even on your CRT, it is shifted up vertically, as I was...

In Dec. 2021, I started a 120GB G4 Cube SSD thread, and that continued through 2023, ending in a total and utter dead-end for me. You can read what I bought and did starting from this post: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/120gb-ssds-in-g4-cube.601/page-3#post-22653

Oh yes, I know. But we don't know this: 1. Are all 3 resistors (R67/75/79) truly used by the clock circuit on the LC520 board? 2. To what exact chips and pins do each of the 3 resistors lead? So we are all just "assuming" the 3 need to be removed at this point. Same for folks in Japan back...

Positive side of C6 leads to pin-7 of SONY Sound chip UB11...

Thank you for the crystal clear photo of C6, showing solder removed and the Positive (+) side pad missing... To follow MY advice, you would need to retain the removed pad, then try to clean out that black area under the pad with the tip of a razor blade like I did. The aim is to remove...

Sorry, but which side is lifted? I had thought the + side was lifted and based my previous post on that assumption. You are speaking about the Negative side now, but is that side lifted? Or are both pads lifted? The photo doesn't make it clear. Because if it's only the NEGATIVE side lifted...

Thanks, @dougg3 ! So basically we need only remove 3 resistors, not all 4, despite what the book Doping Mac has to say. And Doping Mac probably said that merely to PHYSICALLY MATCH the LC550 board to the LC520 board, giving no consideration to FUNCTION of the said 4 resistors. (That's my...

Seems the two pads are shorted together with solder, which needs to be rectified... I can also see the tiny trace to which the pad sitting directly below the white + connects. I've had one instance on an SE/30 board where I need to do a fix, but the trace leading to the pad was thicker...

@dougg3 & @kefkafloyd Your recently posted findings seem to indicate that, regardless of whether R80 is left soldered in or removed, it should not matter at all to the Overlock (i.e., the conversion of an LC520 motherboard to an LC550). Is that how you both assess R80?

"IDE"? Sorry for my ignorance, but does this mean there will be a BlueIDE or similar drive that will, at long last, allow me to get a working SSD solution in my G4 Cubes? (They are IDE, not SCSI.) 🤞

What I used prior to the A2VI (with CayMac Adapter) on my IIc was the IIc to VGA by Plamen, based in Bulgaria. It's an otherwise excellent adapter if you don't need HDMI, but even it wasn't giving me a very large display area on my Eyoyo LCD. Note how much bigger the display content is on the...

I’ve heard some rear case fan speed instability on my CC as well, but nothing else is wrong so I’ve just learned to live with it. No clicking sound though and my fan may be a tad more stable than yours. I know this doesn’t help you at all, but just adding what relevant experience I have with...

Good to see you showcasing the A2DVI card... I have a IIc, so I am currently using that A2DVI card with this adapter: https://ko-fi.com/s/df19776817 I tried other HDMI and even VGA solutions prior to A2DVI, and I must say, A2DVI produces a better picture overall. Looking forward to seeing...

We need an Apple Engineer to leak the CC Analog Board schematic too!

Putting the entire BlueSCSIv2 (large relative to BSv1) right at the Expansion Slot can block some PDS card stacks and otherwise gets in the way. Having a comparatively smaller SD card extender in that location though won't create problems. Also, I use MacSD in addition to BlueSCSI, and...

I have a IIci but not a Q700, so I don't know if the slot openings are the same. Your Printable link makes no mention of the IIci. Do you know for certain it is IIci-compatible? If it is, I might have it printed at JLC. Of course, it would be nice to know if that same STL applies to the...

I have a IIci with a Radius Rocket in the NuBus slot nearest the case, nothing in the center NuBus slot, and a Radius Thunder 24/GT graphics card in the innermost NuBus slot. I'm hoping to order one of the SCSI Booster clones by @max1zzz , and it would be neat if there was a NuBus slot mount...
