    Performa 6360 added

    6360's a great machine. Got a refurb from the User Group Connection when it was current with memory upgrade and Sonnetization planned. Pulled the speaker out of its nook and hooked it up to stereo speakers. Bent the harness backstop out of the way and installed a full length Radius VidCard to...

    In this shot it looks like you had the same kind of offset slot problem I have, in the other not so much? Difficult to show the 3.8mm offset required to fit the 9500/PEx boards. But easy enough to see that the rightmost slot edge will be a perfect overlay for the resultant gap. After the...

    Looks like you had to shift the slots to the left for clearance as well. How much and in what kind of case design? Looks a tad too narrow for 4U?

    MARCHintosh 2026 Projects

    First update: Got the new backplane cut down to fit. Had to move slots to left about 3.8mm to clear side of case/logic board. Made first ugly slot cut with wet tile saw to start cutout for connectors and slot removal. 9500 board is stand-in for PEx ProtoBoard. Lots of nasty work with...

    MARCHintosh 2026 Projects

    Neat stuff! Neat project. First thing that popped into my head was a cylindrical air duct to pull heat from next to the top vent and back out around to it, exiting the vent. That would let you place the fan anywhere you have available cubic around the path for smooth airflow and noise isolation.

    MARCHintosh 2026 Projects

    I was planning to finish up my PowerPC Challenge'd MDD'03 setup to finally get an OS9 PortlyTower/G4 graphics workstation back into the rack for this. However that's not nearly as exciting as the open air ATX chassis I recently found on Amazon. Most all ATX toys terminate at the side backplane...

    PM 7200 doesn't see CDs, but boots up from them

    Yep, the hard drive's terminated, the optical's not. If you want to eliminate the HDD, you'll need something like this in its place: IDC50M SCSI Terminator

    PM 7200 doesn't see CDs, but boots up from them

    Make sure it's got an Apple logo on it and then make sure the drive is terminated properly if it's the only thing on the bus. edit: redundancy elimination

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Glad that word salad was clear enough to like, mate! Straightened up just enough for the pics: Don't mind the 20mm Ultrawide distortion, was trying to get far enough back for a pic small enough to post full size. GraphicConverter is offline ATM. Trackball kept me on computer whilst in rotator...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    Not specifically on any individual computer, but I finally got the 1440p Display up on a flexible wall mount so it's centered comfortably in front of my Mouse/KBD/TrackBall setup. I can now roll the desk out to get at what will be storage beside and behind it. Now I only need to yank the...

    Slot-A Athlon build!

    Very cool, love boards with PCI AND !SA slots on board. Beautiful case, one of my favorites here. edit: found this, didn't realize they were still in business. CRAZY Cool stuff!

    Has anyone run a 1080p or 1920x1200 panel in Portrait Mode under 9.2.2?

    Tried SwitchRes 2.5.3 with no joy there either. However I did think to message them with a request for release of the source code for that and the earlier version. We'll see what happens, we might get lucky? Thinking it's likely not what I need to achieve Portrait Mode in 1920x1200 or even...

    Has anyone run a 1080p or 1920x1200 panel in Portrait Mode under 9.2.2?

    MacPortrait appears to max out at ancient TPD resolutions. Is there a current solution? Windows and Ubuntu have had me spoiled for the longest. :rolleyes: The last time I ran a second screen in that orientation on a Mac it was the Macintosh Portrait Display on the 2300c/DuoDock+ next to the 21"...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Thanks to obsolete, PCI VidCard arrived today and it drives the 1920x1200 panel just fine over DVI. Swapped the cables just to see and the first one he sent me does as well when hooked up to the HPZR24w at its native resolution. New one's back to only 1920x1080 when hooked up to the Dell 1440p...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Yay! It finally arrived! 160GB 2.5" IDE drive in what looks to be factory antistatic bag nestled nicely in bubblewrap into a box showing no signs of abuse whatsoever. I think I'll trust it after all. New VidCard's on the way via United Package Smashers, but the sender does a fab job of...

    Official Tinker Different Poll: Board Size Reduction

    Aye! 3+2=5 in the decision making process is a very workable number. We had a larger board of directors/officers at NYMUG back in the day (9?) with too many portfolios and I found it unwieldly in meetings.

    Getting An Old MacBook Air & Installing Linux (Ubuntu? Mint?). Any Advice?

    Why Mint over Ubuntu, how has it "lost its way?" edit: AHA! you beat me to the post. I guess I may need to give Mint a try on one the HP ProBooks in the herd. A dock for a third one should be here this week and two docks are set up on my KVM setup right now. Win10 and Ubuntu so far. One came...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Looks like I quoted myself instead of editing. WHAT-EVER!!! No update as of now, they rolled it back to: Moving Through Network In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late February 2, 2026 . . . from arriving today by 9:00PM all day/night long. :rolleyes: So I'll put in for a refund in...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    HDD for the MDD'03 finally made it to Raleigh, so we'll see if it makes it here "tomorrow by 9:00PM "or it's "free" on Tuesday. Banged away at getting the new KVM setup yesterday and borked it but good. :rolleyes: Finally feel great today after a nice long nap. Got up at a reasonable hour...
