AHA! I think I remembered why the MDD failed the "set it up in the rack test." ISTR the VidCard being dual head, but not flexible enough to run two displays at right angles to each other. If I can't run what's now a 1040p screen landscape and the 1920x1200 panel next to it in portrait mode, it...

Cable arrived with over an hour to spare! Turns out I didn't really need it, forgot I had to plug the powered hub into the MDD, but still need it to switch over to the PowerBook G4 using the same K+V+M setup, no switchbox involved, just swapping the damn cables around. Made me a bit frazzled...

Beautiful shots! The rug rat and I did the 2017 trek, it was just amazing! I finally got a full frame Nikon D750 for my even larger bag of prime lenses. The F bag only has three or four, sometimes five primes. D750's jus a bit larger than the standard prism F mainstay. I think we need to...

Radius 81/110 is the fastest thing I'd probably play around with. What's the minimum spec scope for spelunking a 110 MHz machine's board? Adrian makes me think these handhelds won't be useful on a 20MHz IIsi board? How about 33MHz?

Nice! If only my camera collecting had been so economical. Interchangeable Lens Rangefinder Junkie here: Leica, Nikon, Canon, Nicca . . . . . . and go-bags with full lens sets for the M3 and SP. :-D

Great stuff, you've inspired me to have a crack at my pile of IIsi boards. Gotta get my right arm back online so it'll be a while. Given your mention of experience making things go more easily, I'll probably give the expendable pile of BeigeG3 machines a whirl as my first experience. Nice to...

Dunno about that, I seem to have every other sort of USB cable hanging off a lamp I use as a cord tree, but not the basic one, all those are in use apparently? Two six footers in overnight for seven bucks. ;) . . . and if another one pops up in the next week or so I ain't lettin' anyone in...

SATA/PATA card and better VidCard for the MDD came in today. Found the DVI to HDMI cable I'll need on the bench . . . . . . but how the hell do you run out of male to male USB-A to USB-A cables!?! :rolleyes:

IMO the only way to ship any Machines these days it to pack up TWO boxes. One with PSU, drives and anything else heavy and the cannibalized case in the other to prevent such borkage. Be that as it may, I'm loving your BG3 parts modeling. I have several to patch together and pass on, knowing the...

Looks right to me, the keying of the connector is the only thing that could possibly be a problem. We called this "wrong angling" the connector on just this kind of card in order to use it underneath the short version of the DiiMO accelerator adapter @Bolle came up with in that project. Don't...

UltraWide for my 81/110 JackHammer? Is that an internal or external cable setup, looks external? Assuming it'll seem quicker due to near instantaneous response times, but throughput will be higher bandwidth with SCA Spinners for VidCap etc? Love it!

If this is about setting up a PPC Machine, I'm in. MDD '03 OS9 special edition is on the bench yet again with a couple of cards on the way in for the project. Been working on it since the QS pooped out a couple of years ago with much frustration involved.

You can set it up so that the cursor travels in a straight line between screens. That was much of the breakthrough. I'll try to search out that video.

There's a Vid out there explaining that the FPD system was the first of the "modern" windowing environments as was adopted by Apple and in universal use across all platforms today.

Wohoo! I have almost that many to recap, but only two cases. Have fun! Your battery bombed boards will make wonderful donors if worse comes to worse. Hoping the somnolent IIsi in SE/30 project springs to life! @Bolle?

Yep, they're wildly different under the hood, entirely different architectures. I'll see if I can drop an LCIII Block Diagram in for comparison to the Q605/LC475.

The LC475 and Q605 are twins, there's a jumper you can change to fake up one in the other's case, all the same Quadra bits inside. Developer Notes for Macs have Block Diagrams to compare components/architectures. Q605 was handy:

Cool, linkage? Is there a DRAM/VRAM minimum speed rating complication?

Interesting, so they used the same ASICs et al as on the 840AV? That was the only 68040/40 machine released. Where did your 475 component spec originate?

Either one, not one for overclocking here, so sticking with 25Mhz would be fine, it's the FPU that counts. Q605 was first gen Quadra magazine covergirl, reviews noted that its 25Mhz 68LC040 outperformed IIfx 68030/FPU floating point performance, but full 68040/25 with FPU would be wickedlier...
