I think you're right. Oddly it did work under System 6, it just caused everything else to have errors. Where can I grab the latest 3.x.x version? I assume that they're freew…

You never know - companies are still buying them, so it's just a matter of time before some older product becomes "obsolete" and the chips work their way onto eBay. Or if a company…

Tempest, Bear in mind that version 4.01 was written during System 7's era. It wouldn't surprise me much that you may need to upgrade to 7 to fix the problem. Otherwise, try down…

On the other hand, if you can get your hands on a Freescale made m68040 Click to expand... Yeah, like that's gonna happen. They are like $250-$300 each in bulk according to Fre…

With the help of a friend I finally have my Mac plus up and running. It has 4MB, a 500MB external HD, an CD Drive (an Apple CD150), and is running System 6.0.8. At first everythi…

Thanks. I did the MC88920/88916 swap, and pull pin 9 high (?) or something like that.http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html on one machine but could never get video. But…

Would you still need a heat sink/fan if you were using an 040 that was actually rated for 40mhz? Click to expand... Yes. The 40 MHz part is made exactly the same as the 25 MHz …

At first I swapped resistors to go to 33MHz and afterwards I installed 40MHz oscillator, as per instructions on Marc Schrier's page. http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html'&a…

Would you still need a heat sink/fan if you were using an 040 that was actually rated for 40mhz? I have two of them installed in 33mhz machines that I want to kick up.

Hi trag, Yes, I've modified Q605, not LC475, althoug I've put a jumper on the MB after I went to 40 MHz, which changed its gestalt ID to LC475. At first I swapped resistors to go…

nb: 40MHz is not always stable though. A heatsink/fan for the 040 would be a good idea. Click to expand... I can confirm it - at 40 MHz heatsink is a must and you should use a…

If you can't find a socket with clips, you can get something like Arctic Silver thermal adhesive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100005&cm_re=arc…

Don't try to pry one side out completely before the others. You'll bend some pins. You need to work around the CPU and try to pry all sides up a little at a time until it comes loo…

Lucky you, my verdict with that was the interface dying.

First things first, regardless of what you may hear from him, we don't hate him. There's no major vendetta against him, no conspiracy theories, or anything like that. Really, we wa…

I think it is a fair considering Mike has been contributing to 68mla for over 2 years. A summary of the decision would silence all rumors and questions regarding the situation and…

Ok I am fairly sure I am crossing a line here. I don't mean any disrespect, but I am going to cross it anyway. I've been apart of this community getting close to 10 years now. In …

never mind.........the someone changed the jumper setting to slave (I blame the computer gremlins) :lol: I can now breathe normally Click to expand... I LOVE your avatar! …

today i went to start up my powermac G4 and it didn't boot, so i zapped the pram and tried again...no dice. so took it out of my computer and put it in my B&W G3 and it did…

You're right, a 6200 needs OS 10.4.3 or later. If yours works like mine, OS9 will give you 256 colors at the native display resolution, no choice. I have a 6200 in my Cube, and it'…

I have a GF6200 256MB AGP in my Digital Audio. It will not work with my 10.4.0 disc (it is said that you need 10.4.3 IIRC) but works fine in the mid to later 10.4s and 10.5. In OS…

Yes, the G4 Cube is 2X AGP at 100 MHz. I tried a couple of times to flash a PCI 6200 card for my B&W with Sonnet G4 500MHz. Both times, the card worked in the PC, flashed n…

It's perfect.
