Hi WilyKat, about this card, do you want to sell it perhaps?  I have a Quadra 800 that needs an upgrade.

Hmmmm I might  drop it down a slot in that case and try again. I was getting a fair bit of wierdness all round after I put it in so that is likely the answer... the more you know!

I do actually have one of these floating around somewhere in one of my stacks, might actually do just that!

I stuck mine in a G3 desktop.

Hmmmm that's what I was thinking, that it might be actually logic board related rather than the Targa card itself. I might actually bring the 7600 over later today and throw in the…

For some reason I'm recalling some other issue on some of these boards that caused slot problems. Each pair of three has its own controller.

So I booted up the 9600 this evening and it froze before the icons appeared on the desktop, which I discovered  after I turned back around to open up Classilla and check something …

I'm very much a fan of the 5400 and even moreso the 5500... There was a lot of machine in them for the money, with a decent video controller as well, and they were actually decentl…

^----  i agree the 5400 is a good machine, its like they finally did it right.

I love the 5400s.

According to Mactracker, the 5400 needs 70ns dimms, and the 5500 needs EDO.  That may be the source of the confusion. Or maybe the overlap in speeds: Mactracker says the 5400 goes …

I would assume that if you put faster RAM in, it will just run at the slower speed if that is all the machine can handle.  But when I used to service PCs, there were always some ma…

I think that with RAM speeds, unless you go too fast, you can go faster (but not slower) than the recommended. In fact, it'll make your system faster. Go ahead with 60ns 168-pin DI…

So I'm trying to clear up some confusion. According to Low End Mac, EveryMac, and just about every other site I can find, this machine needs 70ns 168-pin DIMMs. However, every we…

There is also the possibility to fix that 7.x bus error in software somehow. I did that on my Mystic but totally forgot what you had to do. Edit: now that was easy... http://colou…

That is true, but it is a 0 ohm, so it's just one solder bridge when you want to do the VGA mod.

You can remove resisters, but if at some point you want to do the vga mod you'll likely have to put them back...

I seem to remember just removing a resistor fixes this. I never did the video upgrade to my classic and it boots OS's before 8 just fine. I think this site details what I'm talkin…

Yes, but you will have to run system 8... a 575 board without the vga mod confuses system 7.5 and with show a bus error...

Hi folks.... I have not done the 640 X 480 mod to my Color Classic yet.  I would like to take a 575 logic board I just bought and plug it into my Color Classic.  Can I do that wit…

It's not a lot, 530 vs 490. Probably is a thermal issue.
