Moar pics, found the Sonnet Adapter board and yet another HPV 1/2MB card: the three Newertech G3 cards are aligned. Neither Sonnet not Newertech fits the 6100 in stock form. Only my NuBus Adapter Bracket works as is. Had to loosen the bolts to angle both 7100/8100 adapters up a tad so they...

The only images of the ducting remain trapped within what I use for a brain. Cardboard mockup is plan for today, given successful search for a Sonnet Adapter. Hoping to set it so the 6100 model can be the basis for mounting the card inverted in the NuBus slot in 7100/8100 per Micromac/Sonnet...

Beautiful! IR works through the vents as is in that orientation? Love the vertical placement, keeps the FDD slot clear, hadn't thought that far ahead, still dopey from the cold/Theraflu nignttime. :sleep: You're welcome, cannot resist making suggestions.

This cooling mod should work fine with my trio of 1/2MB HPV Cards, but my 2/4 HPV has a VGA HD15 connector blocking the fan and its output as pictured above. Dunno if that's true of all high the end 2/4HPV cards, but that's the case with mine. However, makes no nevermind as that treasure is...

You don't have enough thickness a/o height in the void for the cables below the display on the lower right side to mount the box parallel to the vertical frame? It looks like plenty of cubic is available even, worst case you'd need to notch out the vertical member: All you'd need to do is...

Lookin' good! Have you tried fitting the front panel, IR-remote control sensor box oriented to the HDD LED port yet?

Great, it'll be good to see how things work out between the two machines. 6100/60 or 6100/66? I'll be ordering the 60mm x 60mm x 15mm fan I think? Time to fake up some ductwork a/o the replacement chassis in clear plexi.

50mm x 15mm form factor can nestle between the caps. 60mm x 15mm form factor will sit atop the caps whilst remaining aligned in the vertical plane with the exit venting. Replacement backplane bracket eliminates need for the metal bracket while sealing the exit duct/case interface. Printed...

50mm is bit small, found a 60mm x 15mm 3-Wire with higher CFM @ lower dB: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143159344794

Another TinkerTale from the crypt resurfaces, but I'm playing with it a bit again after having shelved it for many years. HPV's not supported by the 6100 due to its length which interferes with the OEM 3.5" HDD,. This is no longer a factor in the SD age. I'd riginally planned to use a 2.5"...

That is one very cool display. I have a good half dozen Radius (KDS) Displays in my collection, but nothing like this one! KDS had the rights to the Radius trademark, so I wonder how it wound up on a Mitsubishi product?

@Bolle wondering about JP1 again. Bodging a fourth header onto the left side might do the trick? That way the clock doubler GAL could be fed by jumper takeoff from 16MHz on the system board to support a 32MHz 68030? edit: have you already got something like that implemented as is?

Lying, hedging, shading the truth . . . that's SOP, be it in marketing, advertising or politics. The Apple "faithful" are in a league all their own to this day . . . Kool-Aide connoisseurs. :rolleyes:

Spot on! Were it not for PageMaker, the LaserWriter and Postscript that drove it and imagesetters of the time, the Mac would undoubtedly have failed. Fontographer was the first Illustration App, Madison Avenue was in love with the stuff.

Loaded out to the max 128K for DTP kinda purist here. ;) 128K was an all but useless "Comprised Mac" for its PageMaker killer app, hence MonsterMac et al. Without the DTP revolution, there'd be no Macintosh line, just a failed MiniLisa.

The MonsterMac board would be the required memory upgrade, no? How much RAM is on that thing?

Very cool! Love to see your progress. My color coded AI modeling is prettier, but seeing it in real deal green is Earth shattering! Now we only need a MagicalBus adapter running from the Classic socket thruholes to the Radius connector for one of my TPD cards in the Plus adapted, Drexel Branded...

Might kill the A/B when you power the double decker kluge up? You've got the KILLY KLIP needed for a Plus installation, those are rare. If you remove that the Performer should plug directly into the 68000 socket of the LEVCO. Don't think the 68000 is needed IIRC? Curious board, I've never seen...

Yep, definitely interested in scans. That's the same card I've been playing with for years. ATM @Bolle has it somewhere in a big pile near his bench. :ROFLMAO:

General maximum memory config info: It wasn't just memory pricing, release dates of higher DRAM capacity/SIMMs plays a big part as well. Apple's maximum supported memory configs are based on SIMM capacities available and tested at time of release. Models were already obsolescent when higher...
