Re: [q] Daystar upgrades

[Casolai !]

The quad doublers are for quadra's and centris systems. They run at double 
the speed of the original cpu, up to 50mhz, so they can't be used on 
quadra's with a 33mhz cpu originally. They are only for 20mhz and 25mhz 040 
systems, upgrading them to 40mhz or 50mhz.


I'm not sure about the turbo 040, but I'm sure somebody else here can chime 
in about them.

hello... new to list  :)

Does anyone know the difference between the Daystar Quad 040 and the
Turbo 040? I've looked everywhere and haven't really found a general
description of both. My understanding is that the Turbo is for a Mac
II upgrade, and the Quad is for an upgrade to a quadra. But I would
like to verify this. Many thanks!

Sery

Re: [q] Max RAM in Quadras, Im Back

[Casolai !]

I have tried my 128mb simm that works in my Color Classic Mystic. In my 
840av, it shows up as 32mb only. In my Workgroup Server 80 (same as Quadra 
800), the 128mb is detected as a 64mb simm. So, I'm about 99% sure the 
Quadra800/aws80 maxes out at 264mb ram. Using the 128mb and three 32mb simms 
in my aws80 shows up as 168mb total. The Quadra 650 uses the same 
motherboard as the 800/aws80, so it should be the same with the ram.

--
Also curious
as to whether or not anyone got 64MB or 128MB SIMMs working in the
Centris/Quadra 650/800/840.
Thanks
Chris

Re: [q] Max RAM in Quadras, Im Back

[Casolai !]

There is no such thing as 32mb 30pin simms.
To address more than 16mb requires more than 30 pins on the simm.
---
32MB 30pin SIMMs? Never seen any advertised. Were such things made?

Re: [q] Micronet SEIV help

[Casolai !]

I discovered why I was unable to flash the micronet seiv card to an ATTO 
bios. I'm glad I didn't give up, I almost tossed the card into the trash on 
several occasions because of all the crashes and lockups it was causing...  
it was driving me up the wall.

I was entering the wrong hex number for the nubus slot it was in. I kept 
thinking the slots are numbered 1, 2, and 3. But they aren't. In my 
Workgroup Server 80, the top slot is 12, middle is 13, and I guess bottom is 
14. So when doing a manual bios update to the seiv, I had to enter C as the 
hex value for the slot it was in (top one). After the update, the crashing 
and lockups completely stopped and the card is properly detected as an ATTO 
Silicon Express IV. However, the speed of the card is a LOT slower than it 
was before. With the micronet bios, during the few times when it ran for a 
while without crashing, I benchmarked the card at 17.6 MB/s sustained speed 
with my IBM DPSS-309170 drives. Now, with the ATTO 1.65 bios, and the same 
hard disks, its only getting 9.6 MB/s. I'm using the ATTO startup item, ATTO 
A/V control panel, and SiliconExpress control panel. Everything seems to be 
working fine, but now the speed is ok, but definately not great. 17.6 MB/s 
was killer for a nubus scsi card, and it wasn't using RAID either. I have 
the FWB 3.0.2 hard disk driver loaded on the scsi drives. Could the fact 
that the ATTO bios is not scsi manager 4.3 complient somehow be conflicting 
with those drivers? slowing the drives down?

I recently got a Micronet oem version of the ATTO Silicon Express IV card 
on
ebay. The Micronet firmware allows the card to be bootable, but is very 
very
buggy. It causes my 840av to lock up a lot and is driving me up the wall.
Speed on the card is excellent, with 17.6 MB/s transfers, but that speed is
useless if the system keeps crashing.

Anybody know a way to reflash the card to the ATTO firmware? I have the
1.6.5 ATTO firmware update, but when I run it, it cannot find any ATTO 
cards
(Micronet firmware removes that name). If I tell the ATTO updater to
manually update the nubus slot its in, the updater crashes...  ATTO tech
support gave me the cold shoulder and said they don't support old products
like that anymore. I emailed Micronet, but they haven't answered, and I
can't find any firmware updates on their website.

If anybody has any idea's for help, I would appreciate it.
Did you get that from Macguy10 or something similar?  I just bought one on 
Ebay but it won't arrive for several days.  I don't recall anything in the 
item description saying it had Micronet firmware though I might have skimmed 
over that.

Anyway, if it is the same deal, I will work on a brute force hardware 
solution and if it works, I'll let you know.  Many times these flashers will 
work if the Flash chip is blank, but not if it has other firmware on board.  
 I can desolder the flash chip, store it's current contents to disk on my 
EEPROM programmer, erase the chip, and then reinstall the chip to see if the 
Atto flasher will work on a blank chip.  If it won't work on a blank chip, 
we'll need to see if we can hack the firmware resource out of the Atto 
Firmware updater.

Re: [q] Micronet SEIV help

[Casolai !]

Yes, the seiv is from MacGuy, he has a lot of them on ebay lately, but I'll 
bet they are all Micronet OEM versions... He doesn't say on his auction that 
these are micronet versions of the seiv. I already emailed him about it, but 
he hasn't answered in the last 3 days. Micronet still hasn't answered me 
either.

Re: [q] Original Quadra software question...

Looking for the restore cd/floppies for my Quadra 840av
Casolai

Hello all...
Do any of you know of a web site (or other source) that would list what
software originally shipped with various quadra models?  I have a quadra
660av (and several other quadra's) that I want to return to their factory
original hard drive configurations.
I have the Apple Legacy Restore CD, so recreating the original OS is
easy...what I was curious about is what else came installed on the hard
drive other than the OS!
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks tons.
