Found out yesterday that the battery in my Radius 81/110 leaked at some point in the last couple of years. Doesn't appear to have exploded, though I can't get to it for another year or so, in week nine of rotator cuff surgery and that thing is well and truly buried! I'll be able to lift the...

Yep, no apparent damage to the board . . . nope BATTERY BOMB! . . . . . . new project thread started for next year's PPC challenge. Radius 81/100: yet another battery acid victim

Wanted to get the spec on the JackHammer in the Radius 81/110. Managed to get the side panel off and pull the card. Meanwhile I found next year's PPC challenge project . . . unfortunately. Thanks for remarks in your reply below, getting me to take a second look. I owe you one @phunguss...

What, no carry handle or swingout mounts for the scope and meter? :confused: Seriously, that is one amazing creation, I love it just the way it is. * hope the featuritis joke doesn't fall flat. ;)

Yep! He was still spry and not such a head case at that point in his career. I think it was a Gary Busy line? Man, am I ever exhausted! Moved the MDD from my temporary bench over the futon onto the rolling filing station that lives in front of the TelCo rack. All done single/wrong handed...

Nope, not the one I'm thinking of, but maybe there too. Think Erica Eleniak in an action movie. :p Got linkage for your ASS of choice? Heh! Now that I look again with readers on, I'm thinking Arctic Silver #5?

Yep, I thought I recalled them getting it running on a mini. Was almost tempted into trying it on the 12" AlBook. But for the speed hit, I'd probably prefer to have menus on its 1024x768 panel and 1600x1200 as my work screen than the mini's 1920x1200 on only a single screen. A 320 pixel strip...

Did a little research for next year's challenge! Look like a switch to intel may be the next step: MacPro 2,1 (Early 2007) spec on the last Mac that'll boot into Tiger 10.4.7, but will it run Faux9/Classic? Found two answers in yes/no conflict...

AHA! I think I remembered why the MDD failed the "set it up in the rack test." ISTR the VidCard being dual head, but not flexible enough to run two displays at right angles to each other. If I can't run what's now a 1040p screen landscape and the 1920x1200 panel next to it in portrait mode, it...

Cable arrived with over an hour to spare! Turns out I didn't really need it, forgot I had to plug the powered hub into the MDD, but still need it to switch over to the PowerBook G4 using the same K+V+M setup, no switchbox involved, just swapping the damn cables around. Made me a bit frazzled...

Beautiful shots! The rug rat and I did the 2017 trek, it was just amazing! I finally got a full frame Nikon D750 for my even larger bag of prime lenses. The F bag only has three or four, sometimes five primes. D750's jus a bit larger than the standard prism F mainstay. I think we need to...

Nice! If only my camera collecting had been so economical. Interchangeable Lens Rangefinder Junkie here: Leica, Nikon, Canon, Nicca . . . . . . and go-bags with full lens sets for the M3 and SP. :-D

Great stuff, you've inspired me to have a crack at my pile of IIsi boards. Gotta get my right arm back online so it'll be a while. Given your mention of experience making things go more easily, I'll probably give the expendable pile of BeigeG3 machines a whirl as my first experience. Nice to...

Dunno about that, I seem to have every other sort of USB cable hanging off a lamp I use as a cord tree, but not the basic one, all those are in use apparently? Two six footers in overnight for seven bucks. ;) . . . and if another one pops up in the next week or so I ain't lettin' anyone in...

SATA/PATA card and better VidCard for the MDD came in today. Found the DVI to HDMI cable I'll need on the bench . . . . . . but how the hell do you run out of male to male USB-A to USB-A cables!?! :rolleyes:

IMO the only way to ship any Machines these days it to pack up TWO boxes. One with PSU, drives and anything else heavy and the cannibalized case in the other to prevent such borkage. Be that as it may, I'm loving your BG3 parts modeling. I have several to patch together and pass on, knowing the...

Looks right to me, the keying of the connector is the only thing that could possibly be a problem. We called this "wrong angling" the connector on just this kind of card in order to use it underneath the short version of the DiiMO accelerator adapter @Bolle came up with in that project. Don't...

UltraWide for my 81/110 JackHammer? Is that an internal or external cable setup, looks external? Assuming it'll seem quicker due to near instantaneous response times, but throughput will be higher bandwidth with SCA Spinners for VidCap etc? Love it!

If this is about setting up a PPC Machine, I'm in. MDD '03 OS9 special edition is on the bench yet again with a couple of cards on the way in for the project. Been working on it since the QS pooped out a couple of years ago with much frustration involved.

You can set it up so that the cursor travels in a straight line between screens. That was much of the breakthrough. I'll try to search out that video.
