At this point I have tried all different combinations. I'm going to get my Quadra 800 out of storage and see if maybe it is just the computer itself...The dedicated DB15 to VGA is arriving in the mail today, so I'll be able to test that out, too.

Thanks! I reached out to the seller asking how he tested it. Hopefully they reply back shortly. Thanks again for all your help!

Thank you! and thank you for offering the additional info. Unfortunately, I have no DB15 cables on hand to splice together. I did, however, find this nugget on ebay. I'm going to buy it regarless, but wanted to get your input -- do you think this is the same type of cable as yours? It says...

Thanks! I was going by mode 1 and 2 and working my way down and then just gave up. I'll try these settings tonight! Thank you for the info...Could you send me an example of such cable? Something like this? I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

Hey all, it is me again. I'm trying to get this 6500 I have here to connect to a vga monitor, since that is all I have. I bought a DB15 to VGA adapter with 10 dip switches. This one here : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001I22L9C?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details instructions are these ...

The 68k chips are made by Motorola and were in many other machines other than Mac so you are in luck! You’ll want to make sure it’s the correct speed. This one on eBay should work for you. if eBay isn’t you’d thing just search for “Motorola 68030FE16B”. I’m not sure what the FE or B stands for...

I found another 6500 with a l2 G3 sonnet card in it for an amazing deal. I’m now pondering if I should use this as a takky CC upgrade…. edit : thinking about it some more. If I can somehow override the rage II and use the vga of the Radeon with the l2 g3. A color classic of that caliber woiled...

That makes sense. Thanks! I just got an older windows 98/XP machine that has 3 pci slots…guess I’ll need to fix that up sooner than anticipated.

I just purchased a Sapphire Radeon 7000 64MB PCI card on ebay for pretty cheap. Going to order the ROM chip on mouser and hope for the best. I'm assuming I can just throw the card in my current PC's PCIe slot and flash it from there?

This is great! I see there is a same model on ebay I might try and snatch up since you so kindly provided detailed info on the chip that needs replaced and files!! Thank you so much! I'm so taken aback by the additional help weeks after I posted this. I truly am thankful to everyone that...

I can't even find a L2 G3 for a reasonable price, let alone a TAM!! Thank you! I will keep that on my list to look out for. While I would rather not have to go through the process of flashing the bios of a PC card, it seems like the cheaper option, and I feel like my skill level is on par with...

I was not expecting so many replies! Thank you to all who lended me a hand. I think I have a better grasp on what I’d like. My ultimate goal would be to play Diablo II (one of my favorites) on this system. Im hoping it is doable. It sounds like I can get the 128 pro if I can find a Mac version...

I recently purchased a very cheap and gutted 6500. I'd love to add a graphics card, but when looking online for resources, I'm met with a lot of vague card names. ATi Rage is one, but when I search I see 128, 128 pro, PCI and AGP versions. Radeon 7000 is another, but apparently the G5 had that...

What other models have those chips? I have a few donor computers but I’m not sure what models have those specific chips. Thanks!

Update : I had to buy a desoldering gun and a reflow station to get the 020 out without brute force. But it’s out, threw the card back in the CC and it booted up no problem. I still need to install a benchmark program to make sure it’s reading the accelerator @33mhz but I think this is very...

Thank you for your response and validating what has been my assumption while investigating. My 33mhz 030 should arrive early next week. There are just a few pesky pins that the solder is being difficult getting to and the 020 will be out. I don't want to be hasty and risk ripping the traces so...

Thanks for the reply. Yes - when I first purchased the card, it only had the 020 and the FPU populated. I added a socket for the 030 and placed an 030 from an SE/30 I have in it and then inserted the card in my Color Classic and it wouldn't boot. I figured I would have to take the 020 out...

I recently purchased this accelerator card for a Color Classic I have. It did not have a 68030 cpu installed on it, so I soldered in a socket and plugged a known working one in that came from a SE/30. When I install the card and turn the Color Classic on, I heard the hard drive and fan spin...
