Very good. My own 7300 has a Sonnet 800MHz G4, a Rage Orion and an OrangePC 620 (needs tweaking to start up with CPU Director), with two 18GB SCSI drives and a 24x CD-ROM. This is starting to strain the PSU, though, as noted when I tried a Sonnet 1GHz G4 and got random freezes which seem to be...

Hear, hear. Sir Roger will always be my favourite Bond (though my favourite Bond movie is Diamonds are Forever, purely because it is easily the weirdest one).

I've got a 620 in my own 7300.

Yup, Jagubox was the bomb. I still have a Gopher mirror of it: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/archive/jagubox-gsfc-nasa-gov-aux My clock-chipped Q800 is my current A/UX workhorse, though.

So did the 9150 (PDS terminator), though it has a regular DA-15 port for video.

This is well within spec for the IIsi's components, owing to its provenance as a cut-down IIci. It will run fine at the higher speed.

More likely to be PDS. O.G. PCI only dates to around 1992 and Apple had no compatible ecosystem at the time.

Much obliged!

This was a huge pain. The 1MB unit doesn't seem to be upgradeable with the Atari 4MB card; perhaps a third party one? I got it in there but I had to cut the metal shield which was its own adventure. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/01/refurb-weekend-atari-stacy.html

Wanted to talk about my recent Stacy upgrade semi-debacle, but the ST Forum says I don't have sufficient permissions to post there? (The other Atari forums look okay.)

Fantastic work.

My O.G. TechStep will not talk to one of my IIcis. I "read somewhere" that this could be due to a bad resistor pack. It will also not talk to my SE/30. I snooped the serial connection and determined that the computer is not responding to the *V command despite supporting everything else.

I'm wondering if it's misaligned, yeah. It looks like it's seated just fractionally further back than mine is. Unfortunately this would be very hard to figure out since I have no idea exactly what properly aligned means for a Cat drive. This won't help you sell it, but since it's possible to...

Are any of the check lights on when it runs?

No, they don't need to be prepared in any special way - the Cat will reformat the disk if necessary. It sounds like your drive is indeed busted. :( That said, I'm having difficulty visualizing how the drive head looks. Can you post a picture? When you say it doesn't click in place, what are you...

The Github site says that build is for AIX 4.3, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work. Making an ANS DOOM has been on my to-do list for awhile and maybe I should dust that off (it would also work with my ThinkPad 860 and my "800" if I ever get it booting from SCSI again). I should note that...

The ROM is indeed already mapped. The ANS 500 ROM can be trivially dumped with h# ffc00000 h# 00400000 and then obviously processing the output. I did this at 19200 but I don't see why 57600 wouldn't work. quake.sw.wimp (part of the tar) should not require Ultimedia. However, it probably won't...

The disc should have a ISO 9660 partition, so if you can't see that with it mounted (any system can read that part), then it may be a bad image. You might find the LV expansion process easier with smit. Are you actually running an AIX DOOM build on it? Quake should have a non-Ultimedia build...

I'm going to have to dig my A3 out of storage and have a look at it.

I thought the issue on the subwoofer was more that the contacts to the umbilical cable were sometimes bad. I have a TAM PSU with the buzz that I need to do work on, though I also have one that has very clean sound.
