| AWGS95 from ebay | |
| Posted by: Bolle on 2008-05-22 06:21:30 got this from ebay the other day. it has 64MB of RAM (all 4MBers :/ ) two dead HDDs (still have to test them again) and a DAT streamer built in. The WGS card has all cache upgrades on it. I didnt remember these things to be that LOUD! the 120mm fan really pushes some air around :O - BTW were "normal" Q950s that loud, too? or was apple like "dis goin 2 servur room so who cares..."? strangely one side of the case is still in original color and the other one is yellowed. some pics: the machine -  the key 😀 -  front -  WGS card -  the thing did cost me 30.50€ shipped. | |

| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2008-05-22 10:10:17 Nice. Going to run A/UX or rip the PDS card out and use normal mac OS? | |
| Posted by: Bolle on 2008-05-22 11:05:52 cant really decide what to do... running A/UX would be way more authentical btu Im not taht well informed in UNIX things so I wont be able to do that much with A/UX... maybe Im going to throw in a PPC upgrade and maybe i just leave the WGS card in palce and dual boot MacOS and A/UX. and yes it does run the Mac OS with the card in place. I know its supposed not tot run but it does. Mac OS even boots fine from the SCSI Bus on the card. | |
| Posted by: paws on 2008-05-22 11:09:38 That PDS card, will it work in other Quadras? I'm getting one tomorrow, as it happens... | |
| Posted by: Bolle on 2008-05-22 12:41:11 it should work i think... but you wont be able to close the case of the quadra anymore when you stick it into anything that is not a 900 or 950. | |
Posted by: paws on 2008-05-22 12:55:23it should work i think... but you wont be able to close the case of the quadra anymore when you stick it into anything that is not a 900 or 950.Ah.. | |
| Posted by: beachycove on 2008-05-22 19:22:38 The best thing about that card is that it has the full complement of now ultra-rare cache memory simms installed (512K, as I recall). Well done. | |
