Daystar NuBus RAM Expansion Board? — #7
Somebody from the old IRC channel has the 840AV version of a RAM card that used 8 x 72 pin SIMMs (32MB max each for 256MB total). I think Newer technology sold it. It was pretty fa…

Daystar NuBus RAM Expansion Board? — #6
I have seen only one of these, on eBay a few years back. It sold for something outrageous even then, before the prices of nubus-era equipment began to go up.
As I recall, the writ…

I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I assume the bus speeds are wildly different)

Daystar RAM PowerCard. I'm pretty sure it was not addressable as system memory, just as RAM disk, print spool, and disk cache.
FWIW I have been searching for this and any similar …

Emulate intel support on G4? — #15
The only way I can even think of would be to run a PC hardware emulator like QEMU or Virtual PC, then run "Hackintosh" OS X inside that. It would be dog-slow, though. (Hrm... Yo…

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #7
It gets really confusing when you wander into one of the NuBus cards that actually is a video card plus network card, such as the E-Machines ColorLink series. I have one with RJ-4…

The difference between an AUI 15-pin transceiver and an AAUI Apple transceiver other than the connector used is Apple's AAUI port furnishes 5V power, and the AUI port furnishes 12V…

Turns out that I have a 333mhz processor, not a 400mhz processor installed.

Triangle Computing used to have one as well. Missed that one on Ebay years ago too, but I do have their Scsi accelerator card. It had drivers for up to OS 6.0.8 too! That card s…

CPU Director for OS 9 does a better job than XLR8s, and no serial required!
You also need to couple the multiplier with a bus speed the 8600/9600 likes; most don't like to be push…

Okay, so I got the XLR8 to work (and it took a bit of digging as of course, there is a Ben 10 character with the same name...) and now I'm running a G3 at a blazingly fast 400mhz (…

As far as I know they were all just used for RAM disks.
Didn't the original Daystar cards have some kind of bridge for connecting to other Daystar cards without using the Nubus?

Sonnet upgrade cards usually require no configuration, so apart from cleaning the contacts with an eraser I'd suggest it's faulty.
The XLR8 will need to have the correct CPU multi…

No, I have not downloaded the manual as I didn't know if XLR8 still existed (oh dear, the dreaded google search fault).
All I have to test with that I know work are the two 300mhz…
SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #3
I'm a bit surprised, though, that the card is BNC-only. I'd expect an Ethernet card of the era to have both BNC and a 15-pin AUI connector. (Are you sure there isn't one and you th…
