1) Contact SiliconInsider through Tindie. 2) Did you try only populating the lower 4 banks of RAM?

This is seriously cool - and it's making me re-re-re(I could go on)-shuffle my priority list to finish the 475 sooner rather than later so I can try this out!

Necroing this thread because someone found a IIfx specific version of MacTest - https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mactest-ii DL#7. Allegedly it contains some neat illustration. Could the MacTest suite be an addition to the site?

Similar hacks are required, according to BMOW: https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-se30-with-upgraded-rom/

Only glad to hear you're still out there and still at it :) Thank you very much for the update on both life and this project!

I find it weird that many are calling it a "Windows" or "Microsoft" debacle/problem/issue/whathaveyou. The problem was the 3rd party vendor of security software Crowdstrike. If you're not a large-scale enterprise spending millions in license fees to Crowdstrike, your Windows installation is fine.

Hello and welcome! I'm afraid we're going to need a bit more information in order to help you diagnose this. Which Performa model is this? Does the hard drive spin up? Does the startup chime sound? Other sounds?

What does the debug log from the BlueSCSI look like?

Wow, looks like you're pretty much saturating the SCSI and/or Nubus bus there. For both read and write. Also be aware that flash memory isn't particularly strong on long sequential writes - it's the near-instant seek times which makes everything snappy. Thanks for publishing these results!

Oh! Oh my! Now _that_ brings up some memories! I don't know where my dad got a hold of one, but one day we had what we referred to as the "computer recording cassette" for the SE(or was it an SE/30 by then?). I remember recording my little brother saying a phrase into an app and being able to...

This is straight-up amazing!

1) Mount the SSD in your MDD, using either 1a) A SATA controller, as detailed in https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/sata-in-an-old-world-pci-power-mac-impossibru-updated-11-22-23.1494/ 1b) Using that red IDE-to-SATA adapter you posted a picture of. YMMV, these are fickle computers 2) Get...

Nothing to add here, other than that I always enjoy the heck out of @Trash80toG4's musings about Apple futures we never had

USB 3.0 won't work in a G4 at all, but there are even new compatible USB2 cards available! Check out amzn.eu/d/eDF1WCw I got the tip from https://bitbang.social/@[email protected]/112518836789668607

My 2 cents: I wouldn't recommend running RAID50 in a 6-disk setup. As we touched upon on Discord, RAID50 or rather 5+0 isn't for redundancy - it's for performance: https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/definition/RAID-50-RAID-50 Splitting the load across 2x RAID5 sets for more speed, mainly...

This is fantastic, thank you very much! I always have a couple of working Linux systems, but almost never any MacOS post OS8

The way CPU accelerators _generally_ work on Macs is that the original CPU (along with the ROM) does the first startup of everything, including launching the OS. Then a system extension takes over and punts the processing over to the accelerator. Removing the original CPU will render the system...

Nothing bad happens. The CPU won't even break a sweat since you're running it a half its rated speed. That is if you don't swap the crystal. Understand that there's no such thing as a "CPU clock" on these old things. If you swap to a 30MHz crystal you overclock the entire logic board including...

No. That's the soldered variant.

This indicates the P1 connector from your PSU is not the correct one. It's only 20 pins, which is an OLD standard. Standard ATX is 24pin for many years now. It looks like you might have a modular PSU - in that case, please look for the correct 24p ATX cable. That will line up perfectly with your...
