I am in the process of acquiring this computer from a seller in Bulgaria. I have only read about Pravetz computers, but what I found so interesting about this one is that is IBM PC compatible with a 80186-8 CPU. The computer is listed as in perfect working condition. I am very anxious to get it...

The response I got back from MacEffects was that the issue is most likely due to issues with the sound chip at UB10. I checked that area with a 30x loupe and did not see any corrosion. They offered me a replacement accelerator or a refund, but I think it is something with the logic board at this...

I just picked up a MacEffects Thunder PDS accelerator. With the accelerator installed the audio is distorted. Has anyone else had this problem with an LC II and a accelerator installed? If so, any known workarounds?

The 2D performance of the card was extremely slow, much slower than the onboard video. The video acceleration was not working even when it was supposedly enabled. The card works just fine under OS X, so I know the card itself is just fine. It just did not play nice with OS 9.

I finally threw in the towel trying to get the video card working on OS 9. That being the case I did the next best thing. I installed a Sapphire Radeon 7000 64MB PCI card. That is working just fine and is at least much better than the Rage Pro Turbo 6MB onboard video.

Here is a list of the ATI Extensions I am currently using.

I will get a list together and let you know.

I have a genuine Mac edition Radeon 9200 128MB PCI video card that I cannot get to work in this computer. I have tried all 3 PCI slots. Every set of drivers both official and patched that I have tried have the same issue. The mouse cursor moves around, but I cannot click on any menus or icons on...

I am really excited about this super cool project. I can hardly wait for it to be released!

Thanks!

Well it's now March and still no update. I am going to assume this has either been delayed or just won't happen. I hope I am wrong.

It is now almost the end of January 2023. Is this project still going forward?

I have had very good luck using the follow DB15 to VGA adapter from CablesOnline to hook up to LCD monitors. The trick is finding the right switch settings to match the sync signal between the video card and LCD monitor. http://www.cablesonline.com/hdvgafemtodb1.html

I rotated the heatsink as you suggested. Thanks!

I just found out how well this removes heat from the Am29000. It was transferring all that heat to my Daystar PowerCache 50MHz Accelerator causing that to overheat. I had the Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC in the NuBus slot closest to the IIci PDS slot. I moved it over to the middle NuBus slot...

I recently picked up a Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC NuBus video card. The one thing I immediately noticed is how hot the Am29000 CPU got. I was looking for an inexpensive passive cooling solution and this is what I came up with. I found this 4 pack of aluminum coolers for $10.99 on Amazon. I...

Well, I finally got around to doing more testing and it turns out the Turbo 040 had a bad ROM chip. When I replaced it with a 4.11 version it is now working again!

I have a Spectrum/8*24 PDQ with a 1.39 version BIOS. Here is a front & back view.

I have a Daystar Turbo 040 33MHz accelerator that is currently not work. When putting into any one of three IIci computers I have, I just get a black screen and nothing else. I have tried swapping out the CPU for a known working one and it has not made any difference. Visual inspection shows no...

Thanks for the info. I really like Tindie as an alternative to eBay.
