Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #3
There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…
Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #2
Hmmm... That's not going to be easy unless you have an 8100/80 to look at. The multiplier on the 100 and 110 MHz machines is three, so if you change the oscillator to 40 MHz, the C…

Calling all experts...
Has anyone of you ever done this or have any inside info on how to do it?
What I would like to do to the above mentioned machines is:
1. Install 40 MHz os…

Ok got some testing done, not good news.
1. AfterMAc's drive is good (tested on my SE), but the IIfx just gives me a disk with an X when I plug it in and try to boot from a disk (…

1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #14
I think it would be more interesting to convert it to USB (same thing, just new chip which can be found pretty much everywhere)
course I think old keyboards on new systems are jus…

I'll crack open my spare SE tonight. Not only does it have two floppy bays (which means I won't have to take the other one out), it also has a good working HD installed. I can kil…

Dual 604ev @ 300MHz? — #5
You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.

Dennis, to answer a couple of your questions, yes the drive is auto-inject, but it's not necessarily known working. It was working when it was pulled quite a while ago, but I did n…
