There's no lettering on the front, just a "Nike Swoop" and a rectangle, could be a "D" or something else. I've never seen a pic of one like this. Close-up of my Beige Plus's "S…

With ROM, it skips the "real" A0 and A1. This is because each address on the address bus is sent to all 4 ROM chips. Because there are 4 8-bit ROM chips, each address requested f…

Heh, I got one of those, too. Won't work in a Quadra but should work in any PCI Mac. ;D

Here we go. According to my notes, I have a PM9100/120 S/N XB51800V4US, a WGS9150/120 and a WGS9150/80 S/N XC44405V36R in the attic. I kind of wonder if the first two listings …

I have an 80MHz version. It was crashing at random intervals, but I applied some new thermal paste to its 601 and now runs like a champ. I also put a PDS AV card in it, which reall…

I don't have a 5300cs but I believe the 190cs has the same screen and I have found the refresh rate is poor for games. The screen is poor for darks and the screen has poor refresh…

I take it that it would not be nice to play games on, correct?

Congratulations! It really is a fun feeling to recover a computer that has memories associated with it. Plus, The Quadra 605 is a nice machine. Good luck restoring it to working …
