    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Does doing all but browsing under OS9 on DA, QS, and a couple of G3 'Books when they're down for twenty years count for anything?

    Toilet Running, no visible float

    Where's the toilet and what are the local/national standards? Here in the US, there are almost universal replacement part kits available for under 30 bucks that restore a toilet to brand new condition other than the ceramics. I like the kit that includes a flush lever that fits the vast...

    Toilet Running, no visible float

    Pic would help one searched online would be best. Fill valves go after a few years and are very easily replaced. In US or elsewhere? Local folks would be of help if the assembly is different standard. Some valves have a box at top with a tiny float inside. I prefer the cylindrical float. just...

    SE accelerator - what am I looking at?

    Mobius made VidCards, that seems to be what this is with very simple 2x acceleration built in. 1990 is kinda late for producing something as rudimentary as this appears to be. I guess it could make a decent word processor level machine in that time frame likely with a cheap TTL monitor...

    About to get the MacEffects treatment

    Loving it, great job! Disco ball and spotlights could be a next step? Finally found the perfect Christmas ornament string of six 1.5" balls. I love my hazy case, it's just perfect for a rear projection light show. Next for the battery operated internal motor, controller board, led spotlights...

    Crazy notion? G3 Accelerator built into enlarged memory card in 5300ce?

    Yeah, that would have been really cool in the 'birds, but not much cubic available for PBX and the G3 even if it could work. More chance of getting it to work in the PB190, I'd think? Folks look upon it as a step down from the Blackbirds when it's actually a (hobbled for the low end) step up to...

    Crazy notion? G3 Accelerator built into enlarged memory card in 5300ce?

    If possible, would be interesting, thoughts? Best choices for advanced, very high on board cache CPUs available have very specific solder side component requirements. Such makes them compatible only with the CPU card of the 1400. Mounting such a CPU underneath an enlarged memory card would seem...

    SE accelerator - what am I looking at?

    Solder side would be wave soldered with components in place topside. The DIN connector would then be installed afterward, soldered by whatever process on the component side of the board. Closeup pics of a portion of the connector's thruhole pins topside would be good to see. Ought to be some...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    The secret to home improvement . . . don't start. :eek: Glad you liked the over range shelving suggestion for over fridge/next to pantry space. Depending on the support requirements, I've go a slick hanger bolt/connector nut/threaded rod solution for supporting the front edge from the...

    Extreme Systems - Impact 030 Accelerator (LC, LCII)

    There's probably a very limited number of ways to tell a CPU to roll over and play dead. ;)

    A takky Mac…..

    Found a front panel, there's no power button, just the two volume control buttons and front headphone jack. Power is a remote control function along with volume, CD track +- play/pause, eject, etc. so have at it! ;)

    A takky Mac…..

    IIRC the momentary switches are for power on and volume controls, both of which are handled via the IR remote control. Don't need the headphone jack at all. That's what the one on the backplane is for, front mounted jack's only a matter of convenience, break the former out to the rear with...

    Adapting HPV Card for compatibility with 6100/G3

    Moar pics, found the Sonnet Adapter board and yet another HPV 1/2MB card: the three Newertech G3 cards are aligned. Neither Sonnet not Newertech fits the 6100 in stock form. Only my NuBus Adapter Bracket works as is. Had to loosen the bolts to angle both 7100/8100 adapters up a tad so they...

    Adapting HPV Card for compatibility with 6100/G3

    The only images of the ducting remain trapped within what I use for a brain. Cardboard mockup is plan for today, given successful search for a Sonnet Adapter. Hoping to set it so the 6100 model can be the basis for mounting the card inverted in the NuBus slot in 7100/8100 per Micromac/Sonnet...

    A takky Mac…..

    Beautiful! IR works through the vents as is in that orientation? Love the vertical placement, keeps the FDD slot clear, hadn't thought that far ahead, still dopey from the cold/Theraflu nignttime. :sleep: You're welcome, cannot resist making suggestions.

    Adapting HPV Card for compatibility with 6100/G3

    This cooling mod should work fine with my trio of 1/2MB HPV Cards, but my 2/4 HPV has a VGA HD15 connector blocking the fan and its output as pictured above. Dunno if that's true of all high the end 2/4HPV cards, but that's the case with mine. However, makes no nevermind as that treasure is...

    A takky Mac…..

    You don't have enough thickness a/o height in the void for the cables below the display on the lower right side to mount the box parallel to the vertical frame? It looks like plenty of cubic is available even, worst case you'd need to notch out the vertical member: All you'd need to do is...

    Lookin' good! Have you tried fitting the front panel, IR-remote control sensor box oriented to the HDD LED port yet?

    Adapting HPV Card for compatibility with 6100/G3

    Great, it'll be good to see how things work out between the two machines. 6100/60 or 6100/66? I'll be ordering the 60mm x 60mm x 15mm fan I think? Time to fake up some ductwork a/o the replacement chassis in clear plexi.

    Adapting HPV Card for compatibility with 6100/G3

    50mm x 15mm form factor can nestle between the caps. 60mm x 15mm form factor will sit atop the caps whilst remaining aligned in the vertical plane with the exit venting. Replacement backplane bracket eliminates need for the metal bracket while sealing the exit duct/case interface. Printed...
