Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDII…

It sounds like you're not even getting a bong. Which is what leads me to CPU card seating problems. Click to expand... Yes, I had been getting the chime, but now I'm not. I'l…

The cache modules show IDT as the maker. Click to expand... Thanks Unknown_K, this is the same as mine. From what I've read online, the cache works under OS 7.01 and 7.1 but t…

Speed is of coarse the driving factor for most using the Mac Pro. I think the loss of PPC support will eventually get a lot of people to move on once Apple stops releasing securit…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine. Click to e…

I got a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 w/ 1GB (4x256MB) RAM and a 160GB HDD off of Craigslist for $240 (was 280) Runs great. Did a few upgrades. Swapped the 160 for a 1TB Green HDD (Western Digi…

I don't think you mentioned the CPU card. Given the symptoms, my guess would be a faulty/poorly installed CPU card. Try removing and reseating it. If that fails, unplug the powe…

If you do not have anything connected to the built-in video (you don't, do you, even a Mac-to-VGA adapter counts here) then the Mac should detect this and default the start-up scre…

Repackaging the SIMM ROM types in DIPs is no doubt achievable but you need a lot of motivation to try it. Trag knows about repackaging soldered ROMs as SIMMs from his work on the I…

software patching cannot handle everything. If it could, the 512K could boot directly from an HD20. Click to expand... No it couldn't... it would have to boot from a floppy to …

I'm old-skool. And no, I didn't think so, but thought I'd ask.

Probably not. BTW, the 9500 uses DIMMs not SIMMs.

Am I right in assuming, from the replies, that no one thinks that putting in the two RAM SIMMs affected the 9500's condition?

... I'm surprised though you've not been able to find the cache cards - seemingly a leisurely trip in local hard rubbish would reveal a slew of 486 and Pentium 1 machines with the …

OK thats all I needed to know

You can try it, I have.... it won't hurt anything.......but it won't work either.

Yeah those are what I see on mine... So Can I just try it out for fun or will my iMac s'plode?

I'm at uni now, and all my Macs at home, so I can't power up my iMac for confirmation, but I'm fairly sure I remember that the iMac supports these resolutions, ONLY at these refres…

Very nice. As for the WGS 95 card...I'm fairly sure that you actually need A/UX in order for it to work. It'll run with 7.01 or 7.1 installed...but I don't think it'll actually …

Do you know what shadows lurk in the hearts of men? You've been tagged by Equill. You are going down.

Thank you for the links. I had seen the Miniscribe 8425 photos some time ago, but that drive doesn't look like the drive used in my Hyperdrive Mac. Note how flat the top casing i…

... It also came with a Workgroup Server 95 card which apparently doesn't work (hope not), but the cache slots are all filled (512K?). No idea on RAM, HD or WGS95 status yet until …

A smaller fan makes a Q950 a much better neighbour. As long as you don't stuff it full of Nubus cards and drives, it works fine with a smaller fan and without the wind tunnel produ…
