Old performa 5200 hack

Posted by: techknight on 2011-04-15 20:15:45 I was rummaging through my old photos, and ran across an OLD performa 5200 hack i had done. I patched in an intel pentium III system board into the original analog board and power supply of the performa 5200, but i never got around to hacking in the sound, so i had to use external speakers. Also i wired up one of the sound buttons on the front as the ATX power-on button. I SHOULD have used an ADB to PS/2 or USB, and then just used the power-on signal from the ADB keyboard power button to control the ATX power. But this requires a HOT in-standby USB. which isnt too difficult. This machine is loooonnnggg since gone, but hey its a distant memory that need resurfacing.
