The 9550 uses a considerably slower core over a 9600(pro) - 250Mhz over 400Mhz - but some cards had the ability to be software/hardware modified to beome a 9600Pro in the PC world.…

I have a PC bios Radeon 9550 with 128MB VRAM. I was wondering if I could flash this with a downgrade Mac-compatible ROM to go in my newly purchased Dual-2.5GHz G5 Powermac 7,3. I …

cute kitty!!

Yes it has a 90 degree adapter for C/Q 610.  Still not sure if I want to keep it for my C610 or sell it as a set.

You got a Q610 angle adapter? I think you'll be getting an email from Bunsen very soon. He was searching for one of those a while back IIRC. 

Oh wow I was literally using one about an hour ago.  Mines installed in a Quadra 800.  My hints are: Systems above 7.1 don't require the enabler You must physically turn off the …

I have one of these for my Quadra 605, just need to get it installed.  Only been procrastinating for 3.5 years!

660 is pizza box, too short for the card is why its not listed.  Although it works for the 610.  maybe the AV parts are in the way.

Scored this almost new box of powerPC upgrade. The box is distressed and has markers "$10.00" and "Do not open" plus some water stain. But inside is quite nice with books, papers, …

It screams of power supply issues. You have no way to say the PSU is in good condition until you are positive the voltage rails are good under load and there is no excessive curren…

I had a similar problem with a /// that went away when reseating (and pushing down) the RAM daugtherboard and all its RAM chips.

True Techknight. But such areas are not always written unless a virus hits the system. The directories are a weak point as they are constantly updated with every file write. but th…

When in doubt, check voltages. If those are OK and stable, then next thing is system RAM. 

I recently bought an Apple /// (256k model), Monitor ///, Disk /// external drive, manuals, and software. All of the units are cosmetically in amazing condition (no yellowing, no k…

Here is the problem with bad blocks in flash. Any flash memory that has a block that is bad, will be corrupt with no chance of error recovery or anything. its just corrupt, marked,…

I've had this setup for about 5 months. I got the Compact Flash card from ebay. It's Amicore brand. This is what it looks like.

It's worth investing in industrial Compact Flash units. They're far more reliable.

SRAM cards in CF format would be great. Too bad they only come in PCMCIA format. But would it solve some problems with CFs? I'm not pointing a finger of blame to anyone here, SSDS…

the compact flash card is starting to go bad.  I have 3 compact flash cards myself, and they are riddled with nothing but problems. They really arnt designed for what we are putti…

About 9 days ago, my 1400cs froze while I was using it so I restarted it and it would no longer boot. I booted off the OS 9 CD and it offered to initialize the disk. I declined and…
