And of course, knowing if the 30Video series cards need a 180Ω pull-up resistor mod like the Booster 2.0 does, in order to use the card in the top slot of Synchr030, would be good info too.

The reason I tagged @zigzagjoe is (1) he created the 30Video clone and (2) he has a Synchr030/S. Of course, there could be other people who have both cards, but I'm not sure who they are. People with both cards are of course the people we need to hear from.

Again, it's the clock speed, more than anything else. If you could boost that G3's clock higher, you'd see the benefits. I've got a PowerMac 9600 at the office, which originally had a stock 300MHz 603e card in it (still have that card, actually). It was later upgraded to a 400MHz G4 (7400)...

@MeTheMac While we await word back from @YMK or @zigzagjoe , I would just like to let others reading our dialog know that the "30Video HS" info is found here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/fs-se-30-color-lcd-kits-16-bit-30video-hc.48970/ I also see a similar question asked on that...

@Javmast3r or @Kay K.M.Mods , would either of you know about this joystick?

I don't know what falls under Eric's definition of "Projects" for MARCHintosh, or if this thread is open to talk about "what fabulous things we're doing this month to celebrate it" (as opposed to this thread being strictly focused on major engineering development projects), but I would like to...

BTW, if anyone would like to have the startup screen I made for my video (shown on the SE/30's CRT), you can download Photoshop, PICT and "StartupScreen" formats in the attached Stuffit 1.5 archive.

@MeTheMac Thanks for posting here, as per my suggesting on Reddit. I would now like to tag @YMK and @zigzagjoe to see if they will chime in with their thoughts.

I apologize that my full review has taken so long, but it's now Public... #MARCHintosh

You're going to be seeing a fair amount of MacBench in my newest video, Made for MARCHintosh, which hopefully will be out by next week. I will be sure to post the link here when it goes public. UPDATE: The VIDEO is out! Happy #MARCHintosh!

Thank you very much for the feedback, Colin. That's useful info. I believe they are indeed New Old Stock (NOS) because when I bought some from RS Components 2 years ago and had Kay Koba do a pro-quality socket swap for me, when I got the board back and installed SIMMs, I ended up snapping one...

Found your previous link on Internet Archive, which shows they cost $5.22 back in Dec. 2023... https://web.archive.org/web/20231211032002/https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws5040/ Yikes! Even $5 each is quite high, but the current pricing is out of this world.

@This Does Not Compute I checked today and found the price of those 30-pin SIMM sockets to be $9.60 each! Do you remember how expensive were they when you put your spreadsheet together a year ago?

According to what I am seeing on Macintosh Garden here, early versions of QT work under System 6.0.7. Have you tried installing QuickTime and also 32-bit QuickDraw to a System 6.0.7 System Folder? For example, in my S6.0.8 System Folder, that icon looks like this:

So you have not tested any version of QT other than v1.6, correct?

David, very true! I thought that might be the limiting factor, as mentioned in this article about QT 1.0... https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2140/tn2140_QuickTimeDevelop7Article.pdf However, that same article goes on to say this: "...a later version will add QuickTime...

Likely due to lack of RAM because even version 1.0 required 4MB. With or without the PerformerSE, you're capped to 4MB.

Thank you for those details. And please know that I don't mean to hijack your thread. I am posting here to gain more knowledge about FujiNet, especially from folks like yourself who use it and love it. The main reason I mention the lack of an LCD on FujiNet is because @Kay K.M.Mods had released...

I don't own a Fujinet, but it seems to have some overlap with the FloppyEMU and SmartPort devices. However, I've never seen a Fujinet with an LCD screen on it, so I wonder if it is as easy to use as a FloppyEMU. I have two FloppyEMUs, and the LCD really aids in the device's usability.

Perhaps someone who has done the SE/30 Reloaded build (having tested their board before it was finished) could possibly answer that question, such as @Bolle or @This Does Not Compute or @Willj .
