Daystar Turbo 040 - Anyone have PDF Manual?
Posted by: omidimo on 2016-06-02 20:19:42
I finally got one.  :lol:



I have been scouring the internet for a PDF manual, the only one I found was an incomplete one from Artmix. If anyone knows of a source I would be so thankful.

I plan to stick this old baby in my SE/30. I got the TwinSpark adapter coming, and even got a NOS Sony power supply in case I umm... break things.

Neat find!

What speed is it?

40Mhz. I kept an eye out for the later model that would not be too big for the SE/30.

I had a photocopy of one, at least I think it's for this card, somewhere in my little room. If I can find it, I'll let you know.

Update: I have found parts of it. I think that I may have the PDF as well. I'll let you know if I make any more progress.

Awesome, and thanks for looking.

Any luck finding the manual. Would be good to get a full manual up somewhere.

Hi TimHD,

I was thinking of you yesterday actually. I went to look for the manual on my archive (which is on a SATA disk) only to find the SATA controller not registering no more in my B&W G3. I have a look again tonight and see what I've found.

Very sorry about the delay. I have discovered a while back both the MacWorld archive and the MacAddict archive on archive.org and it has kept me occupied.

Not entirely relevant to you, but...

I have the Turbo 040's little brother, the 50MHz Daystar Powercache (SE/30). I'll upload the manual on the Mac Garden next weekend.

This one is SE/30 specific.

That would be good. The PDF that I have is the incomplete one from ArtMix that omidimo linked to.
