Daystar NuBus RAM Expansion Board? — #2
As far as I know they were all just used for RAM disks.
Didn't the original Daystar cards have some kind of bridge for connecting to other Daystar cards without using the Nubus?
IIfx Won't boot — #18
Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…

On top of making noises, the floppy drive should should eject any disk that it can't boot from. So, just the fact that it's getting to a blinking "?" and NOT booting or ejecting th…

PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #4
Sonnet upgrade cards usually require no configuration, so apart from cleaning the contacts with an eraser I'd suggest it's faulty.
The XLR8 will need to have the correct CPU multi…

It all happens fairly fast and it never tried to go to the disk drive (HD is still unplugged). Shouldn't it at least take a little time to do the memory check?

Can you tell, is the question mark blinking on the disk?

How many have a Powermac G5? — #37
I got my dual 2.5 LCU G5 for $20 (well, more like $40 after the repairs were made to the LCU) as a replacement to my trusty old 9600 and I love it.

Ok interesting little development. On a whim I put all the memory back in and plugged the IIgs monitor into the card. The monitor isn't perfect, but I can sort of see what's goin…

Try installing only 4 matching RAM SIMMs in RAM Bank A, leaving Bank B empty. Then try the other set of 4 matching RAM SIMMs in Bank A, again leaving Bank B empty. If it still do…
SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #2
That's an interesting notion, but I kind doubt its application in the "real world," but I've been wrong before. If you want to address more RAM in the SE, watch eBay for one of the…
PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #3
No, I have not downloaded the manual as I didn't know if XLR8 still existed (oh dear, the dreaded google search fault).
All I have to test with that I know work are the two 300mhz…

PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #2
Have you downloaded the user's manual from xlr8.com and checked to make sure that the jumper/switch settings are reasonable? That is, that they are not set to speeds so fast one w…

Already tried resetting the PRAM (got the second Chime) and reseating all the RAM and the ROM. Nothing. I have a disk in the drive, that's what I'm trying to boot from, but it ne…

My guess is that it's not even getting to the point in the boot sequece where it tries to read from a floppy. Video would defintely help here. It seems to be past the ADB check sin…
Pismo Accident...Ugh...What Should I Expect? — #4
I haven't specifically killed a Pismo, I killed a Classic 2 and PB 150, by rushing, which you and I alike have done. I know nothing about Pismo's save for that they are nice powern…

Tried the PRAM reset again, no dice. I suppose the disk drive could be bad, but its not even hitting once. It's like the system is just sitting there waiting for something.

Make sure you get at least to the third chime when resetting the PRAM. Not everything is reset only on the second chime.
We also can't rule out a bad floppy drive. Do you have a…
