Hmm, for you guys with the all the cool sounds cards for the old II's...
Any chance ANYONE has a lead on the Passport Turbo-Trax software for the SoundChaser IIE keyboard setup. I…
As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.
after looking over that site I could have sworn that back in grade school one of our teachers had a sound blaster hooked up to her IIe
it was nearly identical to the echo II but …
Luddite, I'm going to have to explore your site. I have both 3-voice and 9-voice ALF cards, the 12-voice AE copy of ALF, a Decillionix card, and of course the Mountain Computer car…
The RAM card is probably of the Slinky-type, meaning that it feeds out bytes one a time, in sequential order, just like a tape drive. It is probably less desirable than a RamWorks-…
I have a bit of alphaSyntauri software posted on my site... it's been a couple of years since I've played about with mine, but it really is a fun rig to noodle with.
Today's rescue is a //e from about 1985 with a couple of Teac 1/2 height floppies (all labels in Japanese), a couple of mystery cards in slots 1 & 5, and an Apple RAM expan…
The video card arrived today. It turns out to be a PrecisionColor Pro 24XK.

You know that´s not true Keith Stattenfield and his team did a lot of work at OS 9 already, until Steve Jobs forced …
I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…
Do the ATI OS 9 drivers properly support the 9700? I thought the 9200 (RV250) was the last card officially supported by ATI for OS 9, but I would be delighted to be wrong.

I am seeing more and more barebones LCDs on eBay that include the D/A board (the expensive part.) Many are 640x480. You'd have to build your own enclosure for it. They're also a…

I disagree. You don't need to constantly upgrade a machine to have a longer useful lifespan

I would not switch to a Mac mini:- slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it)

Yep, you're right - no matter what you do, Mac OS 9 and below simply cannot address any more than 1.5GB of RAM, its a limitation built into the OS, and short of rewriting the Mac O…
16 Meg 30-pin SIMMs are still listed at OWC (Item # OWC30PS16MB) for $9.97. If you need 'em, grab 'em while they're available and max out that SE30 or Q950.
I presume the 1.5GB RAM limit in OS9 is why my Sawtooth (AGP graphics G4) with 2GB RAM installed shows Built-in Memory 1.99GB; VM Off; Largest Unused Block 1.45GB; and MacOS using …
HeHeHe! :lol: I think I've got a NuBus Token Ring Card for interfacing with an IBM Mainframe . . .. . . how'd something like THAT go over at work? )
