picked this up. I am having problems with my adapter and the Quadra.

I got the machine up and noticed it has NetBSD|M68k on it. That was interesting, freaked me out that it had A/UX on the machine until Cory in IRC told me that Quadra 840AVs won't run A/UX.

Oh well, I thought it was cool while it lasted. I am now currently loading OS 8.1 on it. This sucker has a 9.1GB HDD (50-pin IIRC), and a 2042MB (2.04GB) 50-pin HDD in it as well.

I had to swap the board from one of the 840s to the nicer one. It seems there was a hazy material on the back and the front of the board. It wasn't dust, and the first thing I looked at was the caps

Anyways, it's up and running as of typing this, and I will get pics in a bit. It's missing a few cover bezels, but I am not too worried. BTW, Shout to to ChristTrekker for trading this. I also got some other goodies like Drive cases of all sorts of SCSI.

TTYL Guys!
