The basic drivers are in the DeclROM for Sense Line defined/activated FixedRez Apple Monitor standards. IIRC, the RadiusWare control Panel would be where any "options" were set fo…

No, unfortunately I don't have much hardware tools beyond a digital multimeter and anything custom I make on a breadboard. Using a ROM might be too difficult. Regardless, the idea…

I'm not at home, so I can't upload the driver but . . . . . . KnightTech is 404! BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IIRC, I've got all the RadiusWare downloads backed up on various …

Maybe. It depends on whether the resolutions are hard-coded into its driver ROM, or are in an extension that can be modified. For the built-in driver for the PM8500, I had to figur…

Just out of curiosity, do you think there would be any way to hack the driver for the old Radius Color Pivot II Cards to put out a 60 Hz resolution for use with modern LCDs?

Sorry for the overdue reply. You may need the adapter set to multisync, but as long as it can do say 1280x960 normally, then this will work. I've done this with several adapters, a…

omfg, Sonnet- the "it just works people", I will totally check that out when my kids are awake... they get a little annoyed when I sneak into their rooms at night to use their comp…

I'll continue the digression. Regarding your 7447 and the CPU Plugins problem. I have found this Japanese retailer that from the rough Google English translation seems to say they …

of course lba-48 is optional, I included it as much as an example of how to set multiple variables as anything else. It does seem to work on my sawtooth, (Uni North Rev 3 btw), bu…

There is also a similiar discussion here http://www.cubeowner.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12512 at the cubeowner forum about how to manually edit the open firmware to allow OS 9…

Thanks, that's exactly the detail I wanted. I notice you have added a new line enabling the lba-48 property. Can this line be considered optional and be omitted from the patch if …

Note- I've updated the patch slightly based on some research... the Sawtooth 8.6 only seems to like 7400 and 7410 processor models. Reading some opensource PPC code online lead m…

Thanks for the firmware patch. I can't wait to try it out on my 7455 upgraded sawtooth. However, I have never done any open firmware editing before and I was wondering if you could…

... I should mention that Sawtooth G4 shipped with PowerPC G4 7410 7400series CPU and that OS 8.6 doesn't like upgraded 7445 7450 7455 or whatever (it shows up as a bootable choice…

Thanks for this thread and the cabling information. I made a 34-pin to 50-pin+molex cable for my Portable and it's working great. I'll keep the Conner drive around for posterity (i…

Hi Trag, many thanks for your reply. I would very carefully examine the area around the 53C80 chip for damage/corrosion from the leaking capacitors. Click to expand... T…

I would very carefully examine the area around the 53C80 chip for damage/corrosion from the leaking capacitors. Also, to the extent you can, visually trace the connections to the…

Hi all, After washing and recapping my SE/30´s mobo, it now starts with a loud, clear "bong" -- no more SimasiMac! Here it is, connected via LocalTalk to my Quadra 700 (as AppleSh…

What kind of VGA adapter would one need for this? I have a Belkin adapter with DIP switches to set resolution, which makes me not sure this'll work for me.

got another c\classic swapped over the mother board up it came so its something on the pcb

So after nearly a year, I'm reconsidering working on this iBook again. I just wanted to see if there were any second opinions about whats wrong with it. For a flashback, this mach…

That just LOOKS awesome. Great job.

I haven't played with it much, my projects are on hold until I find a place to live. This Mac is successful in the sense that you can burn ROM chips and it will run off of them. …

Hate to drag up an old thread, but were you ever successful?

Hello I changed battery but he won't boot. I have a startup chime followed to a death chime, black screen, fan start and hard disk turn. One idea ? lpl
