NICE! Hopefully the fix won't be too bad. Though at the frequencies involved in the Portable, do traces really need to be equal for video?

Looks like it's ready for the PDS Passthru Kit for HPV or that lame PDS Video I/O card if used in 7200 or 8100. In the 6100 it acts a s a riser for direct insertion of HPV in its normal, bracketed position.

I've got a test rig that'll boot Alchemy and Gazelle boards with no problems at all, but not my AIO 5500 sub-variant of Gazelle. Does it fail to POST due to lack of internal CRT hookup or might there be another issue with this particular board? If display is indeed the problem, will it POST...

Looks like whichever side of the cable above facing upward will need to be filed/sanded/whatever to get the housing/cover's profile down to the level of the D-Sub connector's outer rim in order to clear the top of the drawer opening. The Rev.0 Prototypes are working great, busy tweaking fitment...

I'm developing a real LOATHE/Hate relationship with that damned Tango 2! First off was the non-booting problem I caused myself when I didn't set the screws correctly when reinstalling its backplane plate. Now its those stupid, vertically oriented Firewire connectors getting in the way of the...

AFAIK, the only NuBus Card to ever outperform onboard video (which is the rough equivalent of PDS video) would be the bit bangin' monster that @Melkhior developed. NuBus Cards, VRAM, high resolutions and color depths ARE NOT for greater speed out of a computer, ever. High resolution and color...

More pixels/greater workspace = better user efficiency in task performance = higher speed. So yes, indirectly, I'd say adding VRAM increases workflow efficiency . . . or it just looks prettier. ;)

GREMLINS! Got it to boot up in both slots without problem. I'd reinstalled the backplane plate to the card, but it wasn't screwed down properly/firmly, which probably caused some stress between card, riser and logic board connector? :oops:

HRMMM? I've run all kinds of cards in this critter and this is the first glitch. I'll try the trio in there to see if that's a problem. Don't recall if I've booted it up with the Tango in the top slot or not, trio booted up without drivers just fine. Can't imagine it's a power problem, My test...

It's Alchemy Architecture, not Gazelle in which this card is problematic without the Great Gazelle PCI Fix. Makes no sense to me unless some PCI equivalent of DeclROM in a NuBus Mac is present? Any suggestions?

Duly noted, will be putting together a todo list. Should I bench same setups in the stock 6x00 as a control? _________________________________________________________________________ GAH! Just spent $40 to get a $22 RA Firewire cable for the Tango 2. :rolleyes: Also ordered up what looks to be...

Found the silly TAM/G3/SATA vid, funny he made no mention at all of the obvious FatBack incompatibility. :rolleyes: Previous restoration vid:

Yep, very intrested in benchmarking the ATA133 differencial, but it's pretty far down my list due to its unicorn status. I've seen very few ever offered for sale, of those I've added three to the hoard over the years. Need to concentrate on getting the TANGO 2 and maybe a USB only card up and...

Wondering why there could be a difference in performance between the two slots? It's an exact duplicate of the 6x00 riser, I'd think any difference would have been noted by now? But interesting!

Glad all you guys are shocked(?) how about a little feedback, suggestions? Been working on the cabling end of things. Need to catalog which cables will work with what I/O Card someone will be moving to the upper, setback Slot_B as in the photo. Got it all worked out on the Sonnet TEMPOtrio in...

Can't make it out from the wide angle shot, but there are the two VidCards in the TAttleTech PCI Report.

5.2 MILLION PIXELS! Gotta be a record for a 6360/5x00 Machine, on three displays no less with 24bit on the two larger panels. The backplane plate was in the way to hook up the second VidCard. Couldn't find my RA VGA pigtail in order to move the hookup connector out through the vestigial PDS...

YAY! You got me thinking outside where I'd boxed myself into only using Slot B_1 for USB/FW! :D I can just as well throw a second VidCard in there for a three screen Alchemy/Gazelle machine as my test case for TwinSlot!

I need to get on with seriously testing DoubleBourrage. Yesterday was my first day back to work after a six month hiatus on workman's comp. Hated forced "retirement" especially the first three months of recovery. But I'm back to limited playtime again. Double edged sword that. Tangent...
