You know that might work.... I still have a few Proliant 5000 units. At least they are Compaq beige. They would fit right in at 7U in height, and once stripped are an incredible…
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…

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 …

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…

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally decided to allow the OS 9 disc to format the hard drive and installed it
Firmware now updated, and Tiger installation restored perfectly w…
Gorgonops much thanks there. I think I'm going with the xserve and licenses after all. Get this - the simple reason is: .......

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…
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…
