firewire for a dvd drive is abit overkill and its more expensive and geez lc guy, where the heck do you live that a box with a 3$ chip is so expensive? ive got a 5.25, 3.5 and 2.5…

Here is some more tangent: P.S. jt, feel free to modify this to make the Hackapple }

Not to mention a lot more expensive - I can buy a USB drive enclosure here for $50. I might be looking at anywhere up to $80 to $100 for a USB/FireWire enclosure. Its a shame too, …

No problem, that's even better.

MicroMac went out of business a long time ago. It's a miracle their website is still up.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I can't see how MODE32 would help with a Colour Classic - the Colour Classic, just like the LCII its based on, is a 32 bit clean system, and t…

Hello Phreakout, Thanks for the good advice. I've been wondering about 32-bit access too. Specially because MicroMac is very emphatic on having 32-bit access turned on. Could it b…

They are easy to find, just not as common as $15-$20 USB enclosures.

That Firewire enclosures are not easy to find.

Oh and also found the 512x512 image. Will modify that one today

Swapped the CD drive for DVD and I now have OS 9.2 and 10.3. Sweet.

Yes, I could have gone into more detail, but I was just meaning for his use and 98% of the PCI cards most people will use. If someone is buying/working with a 64bit card then they …

HEY jt I beat you! Click to expand... ... That's still only 80*80, the original is 512*512 which is far more agreeable! Not to derail this nice tangent, but about the board? …

I have a couple brand EIDE cards, sonnet being one of them, that are bootable. Never seen the point of using SATA on an old powermac so I have no experience with them. I don't rec…

I also have a question along side tt. Do any of these flash drive solutions have an output for the LED? As you know, some vintage Macs like the SE/30 have an LED on the front cas…

His problem must be outside of the motherboard, the board works in another machine (perfect video, sound, scsi disk, floppy works, pram is 3.6v).

(It's in the second slot, BTW. I keep the original Rage 128 in the first slot.) Click to expand... You do know that in the B&W G3 and PCI GFX G4 the shorter slot is 66M…

Thanks bbraun, these results are encouraging. I am in the process of procuring hardware for the conversion. I am a little put-off about getting one of the IDE-SCSI adapters that …

I think when swapping cards like that, it erases the settings from the two cards. Glad it worked! |)

Marcio, Something in my logic tells me that you could be missing one critical extension. This one is called 'Mode32'. I say this only because you mention more RAM than what the …

It's here! He wasn't kitting about the growling thing, bearings in the hard drive are causing the noise. Thankfully I had a spare drive and it's installing Leopard nicely. All my …
