Going to get it on LEMSwap for $21 shipped (aka for the cost of shipping). The seller told me it has some screen burn, and the floppy has some difficulty with accepting/ejecting d…

If you are going to run anything other then A/UX you might as well sell the DMA board to those who need it, they are hard to find. A/UX makes a great Apple server and backup stati…

The cache modules show IDT as the maker. Click to expand... Thanks Unknown_K, this is the same as mine. From what I've read online, the cache works under OS 7.01 and 7.1 but t…

Repackaging the SIMM ROM types in DIPs is no doubt achievable but you need a lot of motivation to try it. Trag knows about repackaging soldered ROMs as SIMMs from his work on the I…

software patching cannot handle everything. If it could, the 512K could boot directly from an HD20. Click to expand... No it couldn't... it would have to boot from a floppy to …

... I'm surprised though you've not been able to find the cache cards - seemingly a leisurely trip in local hard rubbish would reveal a slew of 486 and Pentium 1 machines with the …

Very nice. As for the WGS 95 card...I'm fairly sure that you actually need A/UX in order for it to work. It'll run with 7.01 or 7.1 installed...but I don't think it'll actually …

What I did with the AP was to post it on ebay... Some one bought it for 30.00 bux... so in actuality I paid 195.00 for the G5...

I think you got a good deal on the machine. I'd pay $225 for the machine. Although I would more than likely offer only $200 as I wouldn't need the AP card since the only things in…

Do you know what shadows lurk in the hearts of men? You've been tagged by Equill. You are going down.

... It also came with a Workgroup Server 95 card which apparently doesn't work (hope not), but the cache slots are all filled (512K?). No idea on RAM, HD or WGS95 status yet until …

A smaller fan makes a Q950 a much better neighbour. As long as you don't stuff it full of Nubus cards and drives, it works fine with a smaller fan and without the wind tunnel produ…

$225 is the cheapest I've heard of for a G5. Around here they go for $650 up (some guy was asking $2000 on Craigslist - good luck!). Except for the water coolers, they are built li…

Why do you think the PDS card does not work? It is made for A/UX only and while it will boot in OS 7.01 (wont work but the machine will boot), newer mac OS versions tend to hang/cr…

Very nice! :O Sounds like a good score....I'd quite happily pay $56 for such a beast.

Hi all, picked up a Mac on eBay I've never seen in the flesh before: a Quadra 950, lovely condition and should come up well with a strip down and blast with my air compressor. Co…

lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs wrong the first time around Click to expand... Did they? The architecture was designed to support software patching. Clic…

The IIx has been called a SE/30 stuck in a mac II case. Click to expand... Hm, where did the screen go? Have you noticed how a Mac II case is exactly like the bottom half of t…

The IIx has been called a SE/30 stuck in a mac II case.

Why on Earth they would have soldered the ROMs in place on any machine is beyond me Click to expand... It's cheaper lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs w…

Thanks... It runs very good.... the previous owner never did any maint on it and then finding 2 screws in it floating around tells me that someone tried to do something... but they…

I think that there is some confusion here....Note the four socketed DIPs next to the SIMM sockets. We can assume that the IIx layout is similar, because the ROMs were sold as an of…

Wow thats an amazing deal!
