Alright, it's here! It had a install of 7.0 and 4 MB of RAM. It's indeed yellowed, but it works great! It even has the original Radius Accelerator 16 sticker on it.

Propeller God? :lol: No. I've done one project with the Prop, a temperature controller for a reptile enclosure. It used a 4x20 character LCD and I had to write the driver for tha…
i got my imac g4 to boot leopard w/ only 256mb of ram! that is so cool!
if only leopard would boot on my g4 gb ethernet w/ 1.25mb ram... (i've tried in target disk mode, kernel pa…
Booting from a DVD may be different because there is no writable swap file on the startup disk. So install discs may not use virtual memory at all, being that there isn't necessar…

Just again out of curiosity, what other projects have you done with a propeller? It doesn't look like it's actually *that* trivial to add high-speed external RAM to one. (Unless I'…
If you have a Fry's Electronics, grab the battery there. They have them for round $5 or $6. Otherwise places like Radioshack charge an unbelievable $21 for a battery.
Epilogue:
So, I went on the LEM swap list and grabbed a stripped 233mhz Wallstreet for $25 shipped. This netted me a replacement palmrest with no trackpad cracks and working butto…

I had a PB100 that did the exact same thing - weird flickering screen/static noises and needed a firm slap on the 2.5" SCSI drive before it span up after years of not being turned …

I'm probably going to have to grab the whole frame. The scan doubling sounds interesting, but it will be displayed on an LCD monitor. What I think I'm going to do is make the bitma…
I have no idea what "dodgy C programmers" has to do with anything.

With DMA, a dodgy C program can write into the data that something else is about to write …

I'm using Mac OS 9.2.2, but I imagine it'll work even with System 7 (I could try tomorrow, as I still have an easily-bootable version of it... I didn't stop using System 7 until ab…

Excellent work, Noidentity. I suspect that you are repeating some of the investigations performed by the authors of the various shareware "set res" utilities, but it is much better…

Heh. While doing a quick Google I happened to run into your thread on the Parallax.com forum, and it looks the last answer in that forum is basically what I was suggesting, other t…
Geez... eMacs. The kind of machine that you have to stop every 15 minutes, get up and shout as loud as possible into a paper bag to restrain yourself from kicking the neck off the …
I did have my eye on that at first, having wanted a Colour Classic for some time (and for some reason, technically I don't need one but oh well). The lack of logic board is what pu…
Sorry, I was writing my post while you made your post. Taking the signal off the board is an option, but then the two boards are physically locked together. I really don't want to …
As noted, why not just tap the frequency straight off the motherboard? It's right there. But whatever works for you.

I think the "16MHz" quoted for the Plus is probably nominal (ie near enough) and is actually 15.6672MHz
