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…
PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #8
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…

We are only allowed to place rack units in the data center I've tried micro-atx boxen clipped to the side of the racks behind panels and got whacked for that pretty hard. Still…

I have a PowerBook 1400cs and a Powerbook G3 Lombard, but I bought it from a site with the same idea as eBay, so I don't know if it is intended to be brighter.

With enough patience, precision, and critical thinking, you can replace the lamp(s) in most LCDs. I have replaced lamps in two PowerBook G3 Pismo screens. One was dim, the other …

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 (…
Daystar NuBus RAM Expansion Board? — #2
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…
PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #3
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…

Have you downloaded the user's manual from xlr8.com and checked to make sure that the jumper/switch settings are reasonable? That is, that they are not set to speeds so fast one w…
