I seem to recall somebody somewhere talking about putting a 6100 logic board in a pizzabox case...not the 610/660, which is the Apple-approved upgrade, of course, but an LC-type pizzabox. Or maybe I remember it wrong. Besides the obvious problem with the back ports, which an be handled with a dr

Re: "Locked" SyQuest carts

It would appear that here's the rub: On closer inspection of the drive's faceplates, it just occured to me (as it hadn't before) that they're different in a significant way. 1 says "PLI Infinity 88 Turbo". This is the 1 that won't write to the 44s, as I've learned. The other says "PLI Infinity

"Locked" SyQuest carts

Anybody know where I can get a chart or description of what the dip-switch values are, & how they relate to the internal jumpers, for a PLI Infinity 88 Turbo (an early 90's 5.25" SyQuest drive)? I obtained 2 of these babies via dumpster diving, & snagged 3 good carts, which I have formatted us

Re: VRAM - a lecture by Mark Benson

Actually the PowerPCs (& Quadras) with 1 MB VRAM can indeed do 1152x870 at 8 bits; it's 1280x1024 that you get only when you up it to 2 (on the PowerPPCs) -- according to AppleSpec. Of course, they've been wrong before But your excellent summary of the mathematics of resolution & bit-depth wo

Many thanks to all those who replied to my posts. The Practical Peripherals 14,4 modem has no indications of the polarity on its side, although it does state the voltage & amps. Judging from web searches, Practical Peripherals is long gone as an independent company. Does anyone know who, if anybod

What does DC rating mean?

I have a Practical Peripherals 14.4 modem that someone passed on to me. It came minus the power brick. I want to test it, before I chuck it to the electronics recyclers. It says on the modem that it is "rated" for 9VDC 1000mA output. I have lots of spare AC/DC converters, but none that fit that o
