Heh! Also reported as having tendencies to scavenge and hoard shiny objects. ;) Back on topic: I do all my graphics work on rent free, bought and licensed Adobe Illustrator versions in OS9 on G4s. Once the MDD/FW400 is finally set up, I'm out of backup machines. They have all been upgrades...

Found three sticks of 64MB EDO MEMORY RAM ECC UNBUFF 60NS DIMM 168-pin 3.3v in the HackHutch with the speaker and such. I think I got it to max out this machine or did I buy it for something else maybe? Anybody know offhand? I've got a couple of stripped out towers with double the memory...

Well, no plan of battle survives contact with the enemy . . . so it goes . . . I LOVE this case, all machine screws, no rivets or spot welds connecting anything! But it does come up short of the acreage across which I'd splayed the components out in the pic above. Bobtailed butt sitting...

Cool project. Looks like I have eight years to build my frogdesign inspired 50th Anniversary Mac!

Nope, stuff stinks to high heaven. Sign shop always smelled of turps, doesn't bother me at all. Apprenticed back in the hand lettering day, before vinyl cutting. It scraped clean, not hardly sticky, just bothersome residue.

Taxes done in 1:08, so then spent three hours rearranging every shelf on the rack save the top one. Now I may need to raise a bit. That'll make room for the rackmount DVD player I put together. Took it out to make room, who knew? :rolleyes: Got the rack for $15 cash from one of the workers at...

Thanks much! Visual thinking noggin' works in 3D. love bar puzzles! I can use all the encouragement/suggestion posts I can get in my topics. If you like this puzzle, take a look at the old MLA thread for more pics of the minimum footprint 3U version. Had it working nicely with the stock G3 PSU...

Made some progress on layout, trimmed plexi plate to fit atop the bottom cover plate of the 4U Netrat 1125 for visualization until the 2U Case arrives. It's fans will be at the back, pulling air in from the filtered 2U Netra T2000 front panel. Board is set back from the front for cable...

Retrieving a 9 year old project from the pile-o-procrastion on the top shelf of the rack doesn't constitute the necro nonsense Resurgence in obsessive/compulsive leanings here could be mania inducing, gotta watch that. This was brought on by tangential happenings in this year's Marchintosh...

Pretty sure you don't need these .PDFs do your schematic, but rough as they are, following the traces across the page works for me! They're vertical here, but the .PDF files are in portrait mode with traces going left to right from edgecard contacts Now with the connectors off, it's all put...

3/31/2026 and Marchintosh draws to a close at midnight. Made great progress on a long somnolent project, so I'll consider it a success!

I can get back to you on the vertical and horizontal offsets of SLOT_B from SLOT_A from Illustrator files. Now that I have two more PCI Slot Connectors I can hot glue to a cardboard prototype board, has anyone got a FatBack TAM to check for physical fitment if and when?

Oopsie, this knuckle dragger has already done it the the way any self-respecting Neanderthal hacker would do. 😑

Looks like the binary decoding may only apply Logic Board on SLOT_A in that case?

PM address for mailing. NoPro, hacksaw desoldering process will commence almost immediately. GRLF is in D.C. and I'm visiting for Easter. Do you need the 6360 w/cardboard prototype or do you have that or a 5x00 or even 6x00 for testing?

I'll be searching out and posting links to the many topics leading up to this point for (my) reference: PCB Development: TwinSlot Riser Project for TAM, 6360, 5x00 PowerMacs . . .

Woke up with my head as straight as it gets. Walk didn't do the reset trick. Did the illustration above without realizing that you'd probably have had all the info in thread already that you need for schematic development? Mechanical doodle has pinouts for most everything that isn't 1:1 from...

I think I've got it sorted out for the most part. Gotta re-check in the morning. Grayed out traces need to be re-done.

None of the pins on the earlier diagrams are correct. I'm in the process of - mirroring the connector so it looks like the component side. - rotating the pin numbers - rotating the signals so they match the proper pins - recreating baseline PCI pinout - color coding the thruholes Purple...
