So we're mostly talking about desktop computers with PCI slots. There are adapters that let you plug PCI-e cards into PCI slots (so for example, a USB-3 card, or NVMe adapter). This is probably more what joevt means than an iMac (although the mezzanine slot is just PCI electrically, but not...

Which gets you 95% of the way there by giving you everything other than the ability to boot partitions beyond 128GB. I also mentioned formatting the disk in their Mac OS 9 utility which gives you their hard disk driver in Classic Mac OS. (Actually, how does that work on Power PC macs - if the...

Thank you Joevt, although I'm slightly confused as I think you've misinterpreted my post a little. I wasn't having problems, I was documenting ways to solve / manage the problems. You seem to have replied to my comments about how to get a LBA 48 supporting driver onto a disk in Classic Mac OS on...

I picked up a "non-working" PowerComputing PowerTower Pro 225 recently. Find here a record of my progress so far getting it up and running. https://elephantandchicken.co.uk/stuffandnonsense/?p=3273 Yes, I'm linking off site, but... I'm not going to not put things on my own site and it would be...

I thought I'd collect my thoughts on fitting big disks to Macs from the G3 / G4 era. Let me know if I've missed anything or if you can clarify / correct anything for me. https://elephantandchicken.co.uk/stuffandnonsense/?p=3268

Apologies, yes - JDW was kind enough to help me, but I didn't want to post about it here to avoid it becoming an expected service. I've already overly taken advantage and didn't want to cause further inconvenience. The Session 8 card and software arrived last week. Over the moon as it is a full...

They may have a US warehouse, but anything I've bought in the past has not come via the US. Even if something did transit via the US, it is not being "imported" into the US and so would not be subject to US import laws. If it was... then they wouldn't ship it via the US because that would be a...

The Buyee but not Shippee Reviews? No, I'm not in the US. While we have our own import taxes, they haven't really changed lately. Yet.

Oh, for the days of $50 CPU upgrades and accelerated Nubus video cards. Sadly that time has passed. At least we did manage to get something at the time. I personally feel that their business has ceased to exist and they're just making money by taking fees and refusing to send things.

I'm sure everyone else is already aware, but folks, just a quick warning. It is a few years since I've bought from Buyee. I knew there were more export restrictions these days when purchasing from Japan, but assumed that if they let me bid on something (many things won't let you) everything...

I went to write this yesterday, but my site had developed an issue and I ended up updating software, resizing images and fixing some issues before I got around to it.... but anyway, I thought I'd over explain things to any one starting out that cared enough to read way too much text. Hopefully I...

Does it support mixed media discs? Does it export bin / cue files?

Completely agree. I don't get frustrated that people make a mess of ripping CDs, but I do get frustrated that they clearly then don't test them. There are more broken images than working ones online. Absolutely no reason to .sit a CD image, it just makes it harder to use - especially if you're...

My concern was just the risk of removing someone's source of income when there are so many other things out there that could be developed. If it has been opensourced then that means there is a good starting point for someone else should they choose to do something with the available data. Here...

Interesting - have you got any idea when? I have used a unique email address for my 68kmla account since 2019 and it is not in haveibeenpwned's database, so either it was before that, only a partial leak, or they got your account details another way. You haven't ever had a Yahoo email account...

Picking up an open project is fine, but also isn't "reverse engineering" - which is what people said they should do.

Please don't push for cloning a current project. While cloning 30 year old unsupported corporate products is slightly legally questionable, cloning something recent by a community member is morally questionable. There are a few points... There are so many things out that that would be good to...

It's a couple of years since I last bought some. It isn't that long ago they were 50p each. I think some people like buying very large numbers of them.

The DW80s are about £1 each and are the highest spec'd parts, so its what I bought. No harm in trying a DW55, Still should be faster than an 88920, which seem to be capped. I replaced the DW55 in my C650 and in lifted the maximum speed I could overclock to from about 43 to at least 50 (I...

I think I've found the version : Ignore the crazy high FPS - I was testing on QEMU (Quadra 800 emulated) on a "modern" laptop. The file was a bare sit archive, so I've wrapped it in a hqx to make it a bit more internet proof (sit files get corrupted if you send them over FTP sometimes...
