Hey TechKnight… So I've got a Kingston 4MB card for a 5126 and three.. yes that is three weird RAM upgrades that bring my 5120's and 5126's up to 7MB.. I haven't figured out how to…

Good point on the DTK benchmarks. I looked and can't find anything official. This thread is entertaining though: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=34&am…

I have a velcro strap rack designed for shipping TSOPs.  it has 26 I think AM29LV320 FLASH TSOPs in it.  Those TSOPs I cant use, maybe I can ship the carton to you and you can fi…

An upgraded MDD is probably a better value then an early G5 especially the last OS 9 booting version (if classic means anything to you). The G4 series was one of the most upgradabl…

That was fast... RAM is already here. Looks like most suffered pin damage though, so well see.  Now I am just waiting on the CPLD stuff. Coming from china so thats going to take a…

All the G5s run 10.4, but if you're looking for a Mac OS 9 system to run Mac OS 9 software, I wouldn't bother, compared to just putting a single really fast CPU into a Digital Audi…

People like the Quad G5s provided the LCS hasn't taken out the power supply and/or motherboard.  Once the LCS is rejuvenated it will be fine.  I think they will be a good collectab…

So air cooled models are the only ones worth getting then?

I, too, have an LCS-equiped G5 (it's a Quad as well). It won't cool the CPUs (so it's basically useless because it overheats before it gets anywhere). At least it's not leaking. c

I didn't have any luck finding them on his page either... I went to an locally owned Ace Hardware here in Boise to get some keys cut for work and found some brown 3M replacements …

Thanks y'all! I was afraid when I saw the box, I figured it would be full of broken plastics, as brittle as the casing can get!

I found the designing cards and drivers for macintosh family online.  It appears BOTH the portable and backlit portable GLU will only decode and DTACK 5MB of address space. So for…

the UDS/LDS data strobes go low after valid data is on the bus to be written. So when these lines get toggled, and address strobe gets toggled for a write, I know then that the dat…

Just checking to see if I understand this. On one Portable type (non-backlit) there's an ASIC which does house-keeping for RAM accesses.   When the RAM address space is accessed, …

I am. There was a video card I think . Hap has one

OlePigeon, thanks. Yeah, a food dairy. Now the places he goes to eat are going to think he's a food critique. Falen5, What you think, ROM issue or corrosion on the sockets and …

I am not aware of anything ever using the PDS slot on a portable. 

So a full upgrade plus empty PDS slot? Was there good PDS upgrade board or something useful?  If so, this RAM upgrade would be quite popular!

Really? Hap has a rom card. For one of his portables.

And this is the reason why. So they can decode the entire address space and use up all 9MB.  But I wont need to do that. all the address/data lines are broken out at the RAM conne…
