Ingredients:
1 Powermac 7600
1 Sonnet G3/400/1M [1]
512 M EDO
4 M VRAM
1 21143-based PCI 10/100
1 5-port USB2 card
2 9G quantum SCSI
1 Empty PCI slot burning a hole in my pocket
Optional:
1 17" CRT Studio Display (ADC) [sexxy deth monitor]
1 Adaptec 2940UW [Powerdomain (?)]
Method:
Stir and simmer, flavor with Jaguar to taste.
Serves: CIFS, NFS, AFP.
Now, as I understand it the VRAM is on a 50 MHz bus, and
Quartz-not-extreme doesn't make much use of acceleration. I
don't want to stick an ATI card in there and find I'm now
bottlenecked by the 33 MHz PCI bus. Is my intuition good, or
would WeLoveMacs' 16M Rage VR get me more than an extra 300k
pixels around the edge of my screen (monitor does 1280x1024,
Mac does 1152x870)?
Also, is there any hope of getting any use out of the sexxy
deth monitor?
And, I did have the Adaptec working under 10.1 except it
would fall asleep and never wake up, using the BSD driver
Apple left in Darwin (I can't believe they dropped support
for the Powerdomain 2940, sheesh). Would it be hard to (a)
hack that driver for more reliability and (b) link it into
the 10.2 kernel?
[1] Profiler reports 50 MHz bus, but documentation says it'll be
40 MHz. What's up with that?
