Now THAT is a significant list of "conquests" -- wow!

@vorg What display is that?

They are hard to get at a decent price, and ones that come with the cables are harder to find and even pricier. I just happened to see a guy in a vintage Mac FaceBook group selling his, which looked absolutely awful because the cables were dirty and the card had leaked cap fluid all over it...

My own needs are merely to use the Apple IIe card on an LC575 motherboard inside my Color Classic.

I'll let Steve Jobs get the final word on that...

Not to get too off-topic (we are talking about names for this thing after all), I have always considered the term "fanny" to be a much more subdued version of "ass" (the fatty part our bodies sit on). Indeed, I would say that mostly women seem to use "fanny" in my sphere, which always made me...

There's something magical about the IIe Card, so I fully understand why @Ron's Computer Videos started this excellent thread. It would be great to accomplish today what those back in the day could not. We just need to overcome that negative ROI. Make it a long-term positive ROI like AAPL or...

Thanks, Stephen. Comparing to an equivalent sized Noctua fan... FAN MODEL VOLTAGE AIRFLOW NOISE SPEED LIFE ANTI-VIBRATION? Etri 146DJ-2182-030 115 VAC fan (@60Hz) 21 CFM 28 dB(A) 2600 RPM 50,000 hours No Noctua NF-A8 PWM 12V DC fan 33 CFM 17.7 dB(A) 2200 RPM 150,000 hours Yes

Is there a guaranteed ROI?

I acquired a IIe card and cables a couple months ago. I intend to use it in my CC Mystic and make a video about it, especially because it will involve recapping it too. I still haven't even tried using the thing because I've not had the time. But this topic about 32-bit compatibility has me...

@PotatoFi I'm not a fan of acronyms because I almost always have no idea what they mean. But since "DBAN" keeps getting repeated in this thread with no explanation, I wanted to chime in with the info I Googled up just now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darik%27s_Boot_and_Nuke Seems to be a...

I'm not as bad as Steve Jobs who demanded "no fan at all." It is because of his demand for absolute silence that we are evening having this discussion today! :-) But I respect the man for wanting to keep the Mac quiet. So what all of us must do is find the right compromise. And here's how...

Holy cow, @Stephen ! You're amazing! Not sure if the FannyMac name copyright still exists, but if not, why not keep using it? Maybe add a fun new logo too... (‿|‿) FANNY MAC 😅 The main question on my mind is how much noise do the AC fans generate as compared to their 12V counterparts...

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. I spotted a link to the Macintosh Garden Forum on that Directory just now. Funny, despite my having used the Garden all these years, I'd never really noticed their forum! 😅 Lots of other great links in there too, including SE/30 Forever. Anyway, getting...

It's important that we simply understand offenses come and we ought not to overreact to them. When forums over-react, we get an ever-growing draconian set of rules that keep members in fear of an iron fist. Tinker Different hasn't become that, and I for one am here to ensure it doesn't ever...

Does your mention of "mega networks" mean you posted on social media like a FaceBook group and got that message? Regardless, I'm a big advocate of free speech online. It's risky, but worth it. I also agree about those feelings of nostalgia. I still remember the dial-up BBS's of the mid...

Once you reach the clock speed of your dreams, I suspect you'll be changing your avatar to Happy Mac! :-) Kay Koba told me his overclock was limited until he swapped out his tantalums for OS-CON, so I assume it will be the same for you even with fast 60ns VRAM. But the overlock depends also...

It seems the motherboard was recapped with AVX Solid Tantalum capacitors, which have much larger ESR than Panasonic OS-CON, so am interested in hearing how high it can be overclocked.

Folks, I'm in the middle of filming the STEREO MOD, and I want to mention a few things... FIRST, I wish to thank @Jagmn once again because he posted a second speaker CASE design that doesn't have the tab on the back, which can be helpful when mounting two speakers inside the Color Classic...

I must be completely honest with you in that I simply do not have time to spend on fun projects like that. Perhaps if I quite YouTube entirely, I might. But I'd rather make videos instead. :-)
