Khralkatorrixwhelp, lastnight I now know that the re-flashed Radeon 9700 for PowerMac G4 I brought from ebay ~10 years ago is actually Radeon 9500...
I tried to change the card ROM to 128KB chip and flash modded Radeon 9700 firmware on it and it didn't boot.
Checking the old 64KB ROM chip content matched the modded Radeon 9500 128KB ROM... and the ROM data got truncated also. Possibly why it hang n Mac OS 9 if any ATI extensions is loaded. And checking the GPU chip number also matched the Radeon 9500...
no wonder why it have all identification label peeled off.
fucking ebay scammer.

Scott Small 🇨🇦GlobalTA/UX’ing tonight!
It's been quite a while since I’ve done something silly with an old Mac so I installed A/UX on my IIfx. It's something I've wanted to do for a while (and tried a few times in the past) but never managed to get it to work until now - turns out A/UX is incompatible with the BMOW ROM-inator - after reinstalling my stock IIfx ROM it works like a charm, even supporting my Interware video card and Asante ethernet card.
Software compatibility is a bit spotty when it comes to network apps - iCab and TurboGopher didn't work, but MacLynx and the Wikipedia app do. And of course #GlobalTalk works like a charm!
Also it's crazy that I can telnet into this thing from my daily driver MacBook Pro 🤣

Picking up this project from two years ago, I finally printed a bezel and key set for my PocketCHIP. I printed it with Polar Retro Platinum and used waterslide decals for the key tops and badge with Univers 57 font.
Update: I collected the models and the art for the waterslide decals in one place:

That time I recompiled MiniVMac on my PocketCHIP so I could print to my ImageWriter II. Good times.
(Also trying out a quote boost.)
BigBadBiologistIt looks like I’m going to get away with only 14 traces repaired on this battery-damaged Quadra 650. #VintageMac
Found this interesting-- presumably NTSC monochrome video from a Mac II video card? Anyone ever try this?
Missed this but the iPod turned 24 years yesterday.
This was originally a QuickTime Movie on the Apple home page. Seems it was created with Livestage Pro. Only 255,820 bytes. Details.
