    Excellent work!

    PowerMac 8600/250 BEOS Woes

    Hi, nice to see you here. Unsure what else to add though - my BeBox and 6500 don't exhibit this behaviour. But I don't have any other BeOS systems running right now.

    Announcing BlueSCSI Toolbox – Web Edition

    There is a ZuluIDE. Not a full substitute yet, but very promising, and may work as a storage medium for basic use cases. https://www.zuluide.com/

    Eric's Apple Network Server 700 tinker log

    Yup, Eric started that thread (or if E-mail is better, ckaiser at floodgap dawt com). It is not difficult, just slow, to dump the ROM from OpenFirmware over a serial port. I had heard similar things about the SMP card, though I thought that was also a 604 or 604e. I know early work on it...

    First official C64 in 36 years

    I'm glad these exist, but my preferred Commodore is still the 128DCR, and I have plenty of spares. It is the finest 8-bit computer Commodore ever made.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    Yup, that's usually all they are (a PATA drive fitted to a converter board).

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    I'd look for an old FireWire enclosure. Since nothing supports those anymore, they can sometimes be had for cheap, and most of them are bootable. It will be much faster than USB 1.1.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    When you say "doesn't see its disk," what appears on screen? What do you see when you issue a "boot" command from OpenFirmware?

    PowerBook 500 series PPC upgrades

    A vague memory suggests that Newer actually made the Apple upgrade cards under contract, but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, nice find!

    My very first NeXTStation

    Actually, my favourite NeXTSTEP system is my SAIC Galaxy 1100, which is a PA-RISC HP 9000/712 in a MIL-SPEC portable workstation shell. It is very fast and runs 3.3 beautifully.

    Half Available RAM on GGlabs RAMGS/4

    Maybe your card *is* in backwards. The silkscreened names are upside down relative to mine, but looking at the same landmarks (the connectors next to it), the chips on the card should be facing towards the outside of the case. Can you post a picture of the reverse angle?

    Half Available RAM on GGlabs RAMGS/4

    Yeah, something's wrong. It should not need motherboard changes. A stupid question: is it inserted correctly? The card is not keyed. See the picture of my card here: https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-quest-for-wolfenstein-3d-music-on.html

    Getting an Amiga online in 2025

    My A4000T has a Zorro Ariadne card. It's not a particularly fast card, but it works. There is an 68K Amiga build of NetSurf you might try. It's slow even on this 68060, but it works, and you can access a lot more sites with it.

    Mac Quadra 950 PowerPC upgrade query

    Realistically, it makes a decent 68K Mac into a poor Power Mac. I didn't find the value proposition for them all that compelling even when they were cheaper. I have one for my Q800 which I almost never use because it won't work with A/UX, which is what that machine usually runs - and I have...

    Half Available RAM on GGlabs RAMGS/4

    Is this the card with a SIMM or standalone? I have an 8MB GGLabs in my ROM 03 and it tops the system off, but there should be no problem with 4MB on any ROM version.

    New article on the Canon Cat and related Raskin projects

    Just picked up a couple SGIs - any new-owner advice?

    Agreed, not for these. 1280x1024 should be plenty. I use a crappy old ViewSonic 4:3 with mine. For the later VPro systems, though, regular monitors will do (my Fuel's V12 DCD does 1080p no problem, and has a standard DVI port).

    Just picked up a couple SGIs - any new-owner advice?

    Do you mean this ( https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-SunMicro-Monitor-Switches-W3-606/dp/B0C2MBSLB1 )? I've seen that cable and it will turn the 13W3 into VGA, and it might be able to put some sort of sync on the right line, but I don't think a passive converter will be able to fully filter...
