Greetings all! Buried in a 7100 I ran across this thing: After some research, it turns out this is a Sonnet 604e processor upgrade for the x100 series PDS slot. I now have it mounted in my 8100, and it didn't blow up! Unfortunately it's not working either. I might be mistaken, but from what...

I believe these from Silicon Insider should work - at least according to the table: https://www.tindie.com/products/siliconinsider/purpleram-256kb-68-pin-vram-simm-macintosh/

Since I don't know all that much about PPC past 601 a question popped up while rummaging through parts bins: What's the best way to identify what "generation" G4 CPU daughtercard one has? Hopefully this thread can be turned into a valuable resource for anyone with the same question. And what...

The colored background is really glaring and makes things hard to read. Find a suitable contrast color instead.

There's also the route of @dosdude1 making new IDE SSDs. You can hit him up for pricing/orders.

Welcome, Garrett! I found your blog about a year ago, and I've found it extremely helpful. Thanks!

Yes, please

Just noting that I love that you went back to this idea. And that I'm following it very closely as I have a 6100, a NuBus G3 upgrade, and a HPV card looking for the exact treatment down the road, so it'll be interesting to see how you do.

Fantastic work! I know you all have been working really hard on this. Thank you very much for this service to the community.

We discussed those resistor packs briefly on the Discord the other day. The issue is that they have been replaced by RoHS-compliant equivalents. https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/detail/bourns-inc/4816P-T01-220LF/1089291 as an example. The footprint is supposedly the same. Bolle was also...

So this means we can start printing bezels that don't look entirely out of place?

Since we live in a post-spinning disk time where hard disk space isn't really a factor anymore, and we can easily swap drive images/SD cards I've put together my own collection of "standard" images. I am of course standing on the shoulders of giants, so they are all based on various guides...

Greetings all. I recently got a Q700 case with the motherboard and the PSU from a Quadra 650. The caps in the PSU looked really toasted from a hard life with a million hours in at least soft-power-"on". I couldn't find a parts list for the caps in this specific one, so I thought I'd do the...

I know you mentioned this briefly on Discord, but this was much sooner than I expected. Thank you so much! My G4 DA now has an additional purpose!

If you have the necessary equipment and skills, you can make your own SATA controller following Xodium's thread here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/sata-in-an-old-world-pci-power-mac-impossibru-updated-9-21-22.1494/ If you don't, and you don't mind paying a bit more for oven-ready...

Following this closely, as I have a 6100 with a Sonnet G3 as one of my future projects. And I'm quite sure I have an HPV card stored.

That's an impressive feature set for sure! I might have a machine or two in need of one of these. One thing caught my eye: Talk to me about that fan you have in the LC475?

Did you try the drivers from http://system7today.com/drivers ?

Seconding this. The majority of countries use 220-ish (nominal values at any rate) with some disagreement over 50Hz vs 60Hz:

Bienvenidos, Sr. Garcia!
