Been very slowly putting together my maxed out 6100 and this little goodie arrived yesterday: Hole saw mod to plastic chassis required as well as ductwork underneath to funnel entire clipped corner square vent grid into the intake of the blower. May fab it as five sided pyramid with plans...

Dunno, it seems a blur to me. "As we know it" is a slippery slope in terminology, covering a whole lot of the ground in question. Big Iron->Mini conversion started from the very early Sixties. I'd say some version of UNIX might be considered the starting point, becoming Linux and Mac OSX of...

Great explanation, to push it even farther back in history: In ancient times when my dad was a systems engineer at IBM, resources were incredibly tight. As he explained it, there was no operating system at all, each program running standalone on the computer at machine level on what really was...

Nice! Time to experiment with the stretch version when I get a chance . . . and find the dang file folder. :oops:

Does the Classic II boot from ROM as does the Classic? If not, ROM on that interface might be a great place for a customized startup System, data a/o a few system maintenance applications.

Yah, breaks in the usual direction. Hobble the low end so as not to steal sales from the high end syndrome at its worst. I'm wondering if the iLamp's AirPort card slot might support the VTBook** laptop vidcards I snagged a while back? They've got some crazy specs. Never did find OS9 drivers for...

Fast Narrow SCSI? WOW! What kind of throughput do you think you'd achieve on the Rocket's Fast/Narrow SCSI II DaughterCard? Love the project overall, maybe with tax return . . .

My first gen G4/OS9 only supports mirroring at a pathetic 800x600 on that port. Which one are you using and in what generation was extended desktop hacked or released as a standard feature? Are any resolutions supported that would do your Cinema Display justice?

I've got the original iLamp I'd love to play with at some point and another that's hobbled by intentional X-ONLY infestation. For me it's more of a beautiful industrial design curiosity than a usable computer. If I could hack a PCI VidCard into the optical cubic I'd put it on my desk KVM'd to...

Very, very nice development! Welcome aboard, terrific intro post. :)

Interesting, too bad you need a host as your NIC though. But thinking along the lines of something that could have been available in the day here. If the CSII riser and NIC are eliminated, their cubic then becomes available for a custom PCI twin slot riser. TEMPOtrio is now working on Gazelle...

Thinking in terms of TAM/Gazelle and 6360/6400/Alchemy machines. We've got more FW equipped cards working in the problematic TAM of late, so wondering if 100bT or Gigabit external NIC might be an interesting tinkertoy for the boffin crowd?

Thanks, it's been two years since the first one in June, and a few months ago for the second one. Crappy old CPVC pipes in an apartment building, Spindleresque plastics used for hot AND cold lines. My water heater went after I moved in 11 years ago and was likely here a lot longer than that...

Thanks , Kai, been looking at that topic listing and been excited about it having been done! Right now I'm trying to get on track to have the flood destroyed missing carpet replaced in my second bedroom, so just randomly tossing my crazy notions about here or there in all the usual places...

WOW!!!

Back on the main thread of my alternate swing out setup tangent: Lots of great hardware left over for clamping something to something else somewhere. Three position thickness adjustment, the steel's 5mm and threaded rod is about 7.5mm so it's very strong. Me likes leftovers. 😁

There should be pics of it and the matching HackHutch, if not the very cool headboard that rounds out the trio. Good to hear there's no vibration induced by the fans. I'll have to set something up soon as I also need fume extraction for ABS cement fumes this year. Been putting off a crazy...

@Drake Glad you like it, took a look at the panel stands at work yesterday. They've got a similar mounting setup for the VESA end of things, but couldn't tell if they have the bolt down mounting option. For anyone planning to tinker with any setup like this or just mounting a display to a desk...

Can't wait to get one, 18 months to go yet before Social Security at the max on top of pittance I'm making now. Be that as it may, I've already got what I think might be the ultimate stand for this kind of thing: Remove the bolt holding the silver. vertical angle bracket to bolt up a far...
