Re: [q] 2 CD drives in a Quadra 950
Has anyone ever put 2 CD drives in a Quadra 900/950? No, but it is certainly possible. There are CD bezels for the bottom device tray of a 9150 which will work. (The speaker bezel of a 9150 contains the floppy drive, and the upper device tray contains the tape drive). The bottom device tray of a Q is ordinarily a hard drive, although I have seen third-party optical drive bezels made for this position. Using a combination of Q and 9150 bezels, you can do what you want to accomplish. A modified SCSI cable may be required, or a 9150 or WGS 95 SCSI cable could be substituted. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [q] Old Q950 just went out of service
This is the first time I've actually heard of someone who FOUND and HAS one of the five drive carriers! Perhaps you could toss me a jpeg of that one! Actually, I bought it from a LEM swap lister. It came from a WGS 9150, although it was an optional extra for a Quadra 950. Optional on Q900s and Q950s.

Re: [q] Old Q950 just went out of service
I thought those old machines couldn't read anything larger than 2G drives? I use 4,3 Gb drive in my Q950 - it works just fine. I have used ACARD SCSIDE Bridge products in my Q950 and the quite similar 9150. I have had no problem with 40 GB drives (via the ACARD). The ACARD products have been updated to include support for 48-bit LBA, so it is theoretically possible to install a 400 GB drive on a Q960. Any Q (or early PPC) Mac which can support HFS+ is a possible candidate for HUGE drives, converted to SCSI from UATA using the ACARD product. For cost reasons, the largest real SCSI drives I use are 36 GB (these being 10,000 rpm) or 18 GB (these being 7,200 rpm) in servers, and 4 or 9 GB in desktops. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [q] Troubleshooting a Dead Q950
I imagine the Q950 was unplugged during its storage so the 3.6volt reading is a small surprise to me unless its been changed recently? The PRAM battery usually reads 3.68 volts when brand-new, about 3.6 volts over most of its lifetime, about 3.2 volts or less when reaching its economical lifetime, and 3.0 or under is considered dead. Some machines will work with batteries under 3.0 volts, some won't. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

[q]Re: Q950 SCSI Problems
I came across a similar problem fairly recently when I was in the position of donating old kit to a local charity. The hard drive simply seemed to have stuck. All I did was to haul the hard drive out of the box, hold it in the palm of one hand and give it a bloody good slap with the other hand! Although this problem, dubbed sticktion back in the Seagate ST-225 (20 MB, 5.25 SCSI drive) days, was generally believed to be fixed by drive manufacturers in the 3.5 and 2.5 drives, and the last of the 5.25 drives, this problem occurs often with drives of any of the above sizes, should the drive be left unoperated for a relatively long period of time. The proper procedure to fix such a drive is to apply a source of power to the drive, listen for the drive's so-called dc controller to attempt to spool up the drive, which attempt will initially fail, but which the drive will repeatedly execute until the drive becomes unstuck. Application of a firm slap to the *side* of the drive will eventually unstick the drive. It may take three to ten, or even more such attempts in order to resolve the problem. Once the drive starts to spool up, the problem is resolved. The root cause is a flaw in the formulation of the lubricant which is applied to the substrate of the disk platters during manufacturing. The originally formulation was OK, but the manufacturer lost the formulation and proceeded to ship a large, but unknown number of drives each having this flaw. Although IBM, unlike other manufacturers, made its own substrates, it also suffered from these problems. IBM drives most often seen with sticktion are the 1 GB and 2 GB, 1 high drives found in the Q950, the WGS 95, and the 9150 (and related models). -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PRAM batteries
I get mine from the Mac guy that services all the school computers. [ snip ] From now on I'm not leaving old batteries in stored machines. Use a volt meter to check them and chuck them if they don't pass. Lots of Macs wind up being donated to Goodwill Industries. Since used Macs are a drug on the market, most Macs wind up in the Goodwill's bargain barn, untested. Twice a week they will purge themselves of obsolete 'puters. This is a fine time to strip the Macs of any hard drives, RAM and PRAM batteries. No need to buy the complete machines if the clerks will let you inspect the machines. I usually wind up with a few hands full of hard drives, RAM, VRAM and batteries (remember: take the top of the battery box, too) and the usual tab is usually a few dollars. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: SCSI Manager 4.3 and the Q900/950?
More precisely, a CD-ROM _or_ a tape drive. There's only one drive bay available for the removable media drive. No, both ... the floppy can be deleted altogether, or it can be moved down towards the speaker, using the 9150 front plastic and floppy bracket. Hell, I've even installed a SCSI Zip in that location, using a special adapter cable. (9150 bezels are also handy, if not absolutely necessary, for some Q950 configurations). What's wrong with it? :-) Not enough drive connectors, and in the wrong configuration, for the five drive shelf. The accessory comes with a replacement SCSI cable. We're talking about different issue here: using the same IDs for the devices connected to both SCSI buses. The issue is the same, as I stated previously, and as you restated immediately above ... but this thread has become defocused, and I have become weary of it. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: SCSI Manager 4.3 and the Q900/950?
It seems that 'hardware-wise', it's OK to have both buses fully populated with devices, but most of standard software will go crazy looking at it! :-) The machine was designed to accommodate five internal HDs, and at least in the WGS 95 incarnation it will accommodate a CD-ROM and a tape as well. The five HDs are designated A, B, C, D and E, and each one has its own SCSI ID switch. So also does the tape drive. The CD-ROM is semi-permanently set as SCSI ID=3. It is possible to install the five drive shelf on a Q950, although the standard Q SCSI cable is incorrect for this accessory. It is also possible to install the WGS 95's CD-ROM and tape bezels on a Q, but the same comment as to the SCSI cable applies. A maxed-out Q has all possible SCSI IDs in use: the CD-ROM is 3; the tape is usually 6 (switchable); the two basic HDs are 0 and 1 (switchable); the three additional HDs are usually 2, 4 and 5 (switchable); the Mac is always 7. With a properly configured 7.6.1 system (or perhaps with the SCSI Manager 4.3 extension taken from 7.5) there should be no conflicts after startup is complete. Application software doesn't know one SCSI bus (0, e.g.) from another (1, e.g.). System software and utilities released concurrently or after 7.6.1 will know one bus from the other. 7.6.1 was used on PCI PowerMacs, and except for the 7200 these have two SCSI buses, just as the Q does. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

AMP has about 300 in stock, but their minimum order is 1008 at $9 each and all the distributers are out of stock. Call the AMP rep and ask for an engineering sample. Don't go overboard. One or two will usually be provided with no problem. More usually raises suspicion. I usually ask for two because with fine-line parts one could be damaged in shipment, anyway.

Re: SCSI Manager 4.3 and the Q900/950?
The idea of the internal bus taking precedence over the external bus comes from Apple documentation. I have never bothered to have identical SCSI IDs on devices residing on both the built-in busses. I have tested CD-ROMS on the internal and the external buses, both drives being ID=3, and both are accessible with SCSI Manager 4.3. So also are hard drives. Now, booting is a different issue, and I do believe that the internal bus takes precedence over an external bus, if there are identical IDs. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

With SCSI Manager 4.3, the limitations are something like six physical SCSI buses, with either 7 (narrow) or 15 (wide) devices on each, as appropriate for the HBA. The maximum case is a 9600 with four UATA cards and the two mobo buses.

Re: Ethernet on lowendmacs
Are the standard ethernet ports on post G3 macs (ie..7200's,9600's,8500's,etc...) compatible with todays Linksys EtherFast Cable routers/modems? Reason, When I plug these macs up to Linksys routesr, I never get a full 100Mps connection speed. The older macs are 10 mbps. These are definitely compatible with EtherFast equipment. If you're using multiple switches, routers and a broadband connection, the first path, that from the 9600, say, to the switch will be at 10 mbps, whereas all subsequent paths will be at 100 mbps (and will be full-duplex and non-blocking, too). The last path will be limited by that device's capabilities (10 mbps for a broadand connection, perhaps 10/100 for a network printer, etcetera). When intrermixing lots of older Macs and newer equipment, it is best to get the older Mac to a 10/100 switch immediately, and to take advantage of the non-blocking, full-duplex architecture of the switch. In this way, you can have a Mac taking to a printer, say, while another Mac talks to a broadband connection, say, and each can do its business without regard to the other. There can be as many seemingly independent connections going as there are pairs of devices present. With an older interconnection technology, a hub, say, there can be only one connection active at a time, as the technology is blocking. It is also half-duplex, so there can be only one direction (sending or receiving) active at a time. (To get 100 mbps out of an older Mac, you will need a PCI NIC). -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: CD-Rom bezel for Quadra 950

Re: Hard Drive in Mac 950
In a message dated 7/1/03 8:04:56 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like a bigger hard drive in the 950 server in our old school lab. Am I restricted to only Apple SCSI drives? Yes, and no. If you want Drive Setup to support your SCSI drive, you are restricted to those SCSI drives which Apple specifically supports in Drive Setup. One of those was the Seagate ST-15150N, and Drive Setup will support a generic ST-15150N. It is not necessary to use an Apple-branded ST-15150N. Additionally, using the default Seagate resource as a model, it is possible to support just about any SCSI drive in Drive Setup. Just copy this fSCR resource (it is ID=599) and insert it as ID=128, then use the Get Info function to change the Name from SEAGATE,* to, say, WDIGTL,*, or FUJITSU,*, or whatever. Finally, you can install a huge UATA hard drive using an ACARD N-SCSI Bridge. There is a new one which mounts on the bottom of a 1 hard drive. About $79 from ACARD's US distributor. I presently have a 120 GB UATA drive on my G3 MT server, although it is the UW-SCSI version of this product, as my server is all UW-SCSI and the ATAPI buses are used only for CD-ROM-R-R/W and DVD-ROM-R-R/W drives. Depending upon how much storage you need (or want) the Bridge solution may be the most economical. Also, can I put in a SCSI CD-ROM drive? Any size or brand recommends? Apple made a CD-ROM bezel for the Q950, but it is probably easier delete the floppy drive and open up the floppy bezel to allow passage of the CD-ROM's tray. You will have to remove the EMI shield in order to do this, and it is convenient to have a Simonds (or Nicholson) laminate file, and a LOT of patience. There are actually two CD-ROM bezels for the Q950-type case: 1) one intended for the Q950/WGS 95, and which has the CD-ROM in the upper (floppy) position, and 2) one intended for the WGS 9150 [ * ] , and which has the CD-ROM in the lower position. Both of these bezels are hard to find ... perhaps harder to find than Apple's fabled five drive shelf. [ * ] The floppy in the WGS 9150 was moved to the loudspeaker panel. It is possible to modify this floppy bracket and panel to support a Zip drive. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Very unlikely, as they were produced in great numbers, unlike every other Mac that has began fetching premium prices. Q950s are so common here in Cupertino that the liquidators can't give them away. Of several dozen which were received by one of Sunnyvale's largest liquidators, the infamous Weird Stuff Warehouse, a few were sold at the initial asking price of $29.95, many more were sold at the reduced asking price of $19.95, a few were sold at the final reduced price of $7.95, and the remaining machines, about one-half of the total, were sent to the recycler. Hell, the mobo or the PSU alone are worth $7.95. But, still no takers, hence the trip to Quadra Motel ... the Mac goes in, but it doesn't come out. On a lucky day, you can sometimes pick up a 9150/120, complete, for $45. With these market realities, and the fact that a 950-sized machine costs about $40, and up, to ship, it is doubtful that these machines will ever fetch a premium.

Also 7100/8100/9150-based cards. Some have built-in Soundblaster support, others don't. Some are called DOS Compatibility cards, some are called DOS on a Mac cards, while others are called PC Compatibility cards. Some will run Win98, but most won't. None, IIRC, will run NT. Those which are stated to run Win311 will usually run Win95 but not Win98. The DOS Compatibility cards were supplied with both DOS 6.2.2 and Win 3.1.1. Later cards were supplied with DOS only, even though these were specifically stated to be PC compatible. Every one requires a dongle, and each dongle is different. These cards, with the possible exception of the Reply DOS on a Mac card, are pretty trouble free.

Re: Quadra 610 PDS DOS Card in other '040s?
Does anyone have any experience using one of these cards in something other than a Q610? The other versions of that card incorporate the very same card, but add an extender for the (single) connector, which extender also provides some mechanical support for the card. As the connectors are readily available, you could make your own functional extender, using a blank NuBus slot cover. The card wouldn't be as well supported, but it would function as well.

Re: Quadra 900/950 drive brackets
In a message dated 10/8/02 2:09:28 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ... The only thing I can't figure out though is how do you mount multiple smaller 3.5 drives in it? I saw one auction a while back that had 4 drives, and this picture came from it: http://redmartian.com/ebay/950-4.jpg They seem to be mounted on some sort of small brackets. Anyone have an idea what they are or where to get something for mounting multiple drives? Normally, drives of any kind (except the floppy, the DDS tape, and any drives mounted in the infamous and unobtainable five drive shelf) are mounted using an Apple bracket, P/N 805-5106-A, stacked two high and two deep, for a total of four 5.25 1.6 high drives, or 3.5 1 or 1.6 high drives. The referenced photo is a homegrown modification to the power supply's drive shelf, which is actually intended as a receiver of the P/N 805-5106-A drive mounting brackets. If you're handy with metalworking tools, you could easily duplicate this concept. However, the machine's power and cooling system was not designed to have drives mounted on their edges, as the referenced photo shows. Good Luck in Your Quadra Improvement Project(TM).

I recently picked up two in NJ, all slots filled with 4 MB SIMMs, 500 MB drives Radius video and Asante MC3NB cards, without CDs for $25. Probably not what you wanted to hear. Here in Silicon Valley, home of Q950s, these wonderful old machines are turning up in great numbers, and the usual starting price at liquidators is around $30. At that price, most liquidators can't give 'em away, so they reduce the price to $20, and finally to $10. When they reach $10, I'll usually buy a few just for the parts. If they don't sell within two weeks at $10, then they're usually crushed. My latest and greatest purchase from one of these liquidators was a 9150/120 for $45. This machine included 136 MB of RAM (8 MB soldered on the mobo, 128 MB in 16 MB SIMMs), a DDS-2 tape drive, a 24X gen-u-wine Apple-branded CD-ROM in place of the usual, for a 9150/120, Apple 600i CD-ROM, and the unobtanium, and infamous five drive shelf. No hard drive was included at that price, but just the five drive shelf alone was worth $100, going by eBay prices, and that Apple-branded HP DDS-2 drive was also worth a pretty penny. Had a Supermac Thunder/24 for millions of colors on a 21 monitor, and an FWB JackHammer UW-SCSI controller, too. Most Q950s, WGS 95s and 9150s are worth more dead than they are worth alive. Oh, in case someone's interested, I have developed a great mod for the 9150 which allows the floppy to be replaced with a Zip.

None of the Apples I am familiar with, and certainly not the 900/950/9150, which I am intimately familiar with, have a linear power supply; all have a switching power supply. Transformer failures are exceptionally uncommon in switchers. The most likely component failure in a switcher is a diode or a capacitor in the primary side of the power supply (best case) or the switching transistor (worst case). Also the MOV, which is a surge current-limiting device.

Any idea what could case this and what i should do. Probably a failure in the primary side of the power supply, also known as the converter section. The most frequent cause of this type is failure of the bridge rectifier (if self-contained) or one of the four diodes (if not self-contained). This causes a short circuit, which blows the fuse in order to protect the power supply from additional failures. As most individuals don't have the specialized equipment, knowledge or skills to perform component-level repairs on power supplies (these contain lethal voltages, BTW), it is probably best to buy a replacement power supply and to discard the failed one. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Correct. The 3.6 volt (nominal) lithium 1/2-AA batteries, as used in most desktop Macs from the Quadra to the present day, are not rechargeable. However, the VL series of lithium batteries, as used in the PB190, PB5xx and PB5300 (and perhaps others) are indeed rechargeable. There are two 3.0 volt batteries in series, with both 3.0 and 6.0 volts being utilized by various PB subsystems. Rather, the power supply continually puts out a minute amount of voltage (5V, 1mA) whenever it is plugged in, which frees the battery from delivering any power. When the computer is unplugged, the battery takes over. Correct. The 5-volt signal is called trickle. And, unlike the implication in the name, it is NOT used to trickle charge the 3.6 volt lithium battery, which is indeed NOT rechargeable. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: RasterOps Colorboard 264
In a message dated 6/8/02 12:57:54 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: If you don't get the RasterOps splash at boot time, there's something wrong with the board. I had an old Radius card once that required pressing a key during the first boot, maybe there's something similar for this card? The old Radius and Supermac variable resolution units required a special boot sequence in order to select from among several possible H-synch and V-sync values. If the special key sequence was held down during card initialization at the beginning of boot time, the machine would be in a loop going through each card and monitor resolution while the operator viewed the results. When the most correct results appeared, the operator would press an escape sequence, and that resolution would be written into PRAM, and the normal boot sequence would continue. Future boots did not require this resolution selection process to be repeated. As the Colorboard 264 models (NuBus and SE/30) are 640 by 480 *only* and are compatible with the Apple High Resolution RGB monitor *only*, there is no resolution selection function built into this card. The Monitors control panel will see the Colorboard 264 as a distinct card, and will follow conventions as to which monitor is the boot monitor, and will allow selection of pixel depth. So, there is no support software required (or available) ... all required functions are in the card's boot ROM. The MacOS boot process and the MacOS Monitors control panel access this ROM just as these would for any video card. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Not gonna happen. The multiple scan sense coding doesn't work on such old cards. True. The Colorboard expects that the attached monitor is a High Resolution RGB monitor, and only a High Resolution RGB monitor, and it neither interrogates nor supplies any sense line information. The user is going to have to depend upon the monitor itself sensing the frequency and polarity of the V-sync and H-sync signals, and appropriately setting itself to be compatible with the Colorboard. About all the Colorboard will do is sense the presence or absence of a monitor. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PPC Cards
In a message dated 4/28/02 10:48:55 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Do I have to pull the CPU from the MB or is the PPC card smoked? No, the 68040 should not be removed when a PPC Upgrade Card is used. The PPC Upgrade Card could be good, yet the Q/C610's right-angle adapter could be bad. The Apple card (66 MHz; 50 MHz in some machines) and the DayStar/Sonnet card are essentially the same card, but packaged quite differently. All use the very same ROM chips and the very same custom LSIs, all of which are Apple proprietary parts. The Apple card supports only a times 2 clock; the DayStar/Sonnet card supports only a times 3 and a times 4 clock, by a jumper setting. The Apple card has an IBM PPC 601 chip which is rated 66 MHz; the DayStar/Sonnet card has an IBM PPC 601 chip which is rated 100 MHz. The Apple card can be chipped to 80 MHz; the DayStar/Sonnet card will fail if the combination of the motherboard's 68040 clock and the PPC Upgrade Card's jumper setting results in a 601 clock of greater than 100 MHz. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple Personal LaserWriter LS advice
In a message dated 4/11/02 8:41:56 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: IIRC, you can stick the mobo from the NTR (assuming the board works) in the LS and maintain your NTR's capabilities. Correct. The I/O boards in all the Personal LaserWriters (same marking engine as in the HP LaserJet IIP, BTW) are interchangeable. The NTR I/O board offers true Adobe PostScript Level 2, and simultaneous I/O across all ports, something Apple's previous products didn't (until the IIf and IIg). The PLW LS is somewhat equivalent to the LW II-SC. The PLW NT is somewhat equivalent to the LW II-NT. The PLW NTR is a completely new generation of I/O board, this one being Apple's first to use a RISC (an AMD 29000), and is probably closer to the replacement for the LW Pro 630, in that that one also featured an AMD 29000. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Do I need a fat system or something ? 7.5.3 should be the earliest OS for that machine. 7.6.1 would be better. Basically, you install the fat system, then you open the PowerPC control panel, check PowerPC mode, then you completely shutdown the machine. When you power the machine back on, it will come up in PowerPC mode. To revert to 68K mode, reverse the process, but uncheck PowerPC mode. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It was one of my first upgrades and I was just too careful. A little contact cleaner and, a little more pushing, a working PPC800. Improper seating problems plagues these PDS connectors. They must be seated completely. If you can feel the interface between the mobo's connector and the PDS card's connector, and you discover the least little bit of space, then the PDS card is not seated correctly. Since these are gold-plated connectors, contact cleaner is neither needed nor recommended. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
