Ok, PM

hi, I have a 68040 -25 and 68040 -33

Don't use lead-free solder - it requires a much higher temperature, is hard to work with, and is simply not as good as tin lead solder. Use the REAL STUFF, nothing beats it.

Hello! I'm upgrading my performa 630 (now have 136mb ram), and i'm looking for a full 68040 chip (with FPU), anyone knows where to get this cheap chips? (no ebay please) Thanks!, s…

Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 m…

I haven't played with sound files on the old Macs in a long time, but back in the day I used to use a freeware program called SoundApp, and used to use AIFF files. As for your Mys…

Welcome aboard! Yes, you have indeed found a forum that deals mostly with 68K Macs. Feel free to share your knowledge and experiences with us; we've got a good mix of veteran Mac t…

I was searching the internet for specs on the Valkyrie chip. Click to expand... My 6200 has one and it runs Debian Woody. So they must have sorted it out. Try http://www.mac.l…

Hello!

Welcome aboard, or is it "fall in"....

I don't know what to say.... a forum devoted to 68K Macs? I think I have found heaven on the internet. I really don't know what to say, ummm... err... I'm a long time Macintos…

The analog board isn't expecting a 33mhz 68040, 12mb of RAM, stereo sound and 1mb of VRAM either. Click to expand... I hadn't thought of that, but yes the analogue board is pre…

Yeah, you're always best off having 32 bit addressing turned on unless you've got software that only supports 24 bit.

One more question - should I have 32-bit addressing on? Or will it not matter until I exceed the 12mb Click to expand... You can't use more than 8MB without 32-bit addressing, …

Perhaps this is why my video is changing? Click to expand... I didn't think you performed the 640x480 mod. Click to expand... No, I didn't perform the hi-res mod, but perha…

From the last mentioned website: "This board works hard while you're using your Color Classic. Performing the "Takky" modifications to your Color Classic only increase the stresse…

Well, you could use the LC 575 board, and save the CC board for later restoration.

Wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have a 575 board to get the other analog components for stereo speakers, but I don't know if 8bit 22khz sound is worth it for stereo anyways. Ver…
