PCI Interface Card, Ethernet Bridge, and 68k Logic Boards and Accessories

Hey guys!

I've got a bunch of various stuff for Macs (mainly 68k and other) that I'd like to get rid of. I figured Applefritter would be my best bet before posting anything on eBay, since there are quite a few Mac-lovers who lurk around on this site anyways (or obviously, heh).

  • [u]Sonnet TempoTrio Macintosh PCI Card:[/u]

    This is a PCI card compatible with a rather wide array of PCI-Macintosh machines. It offers USB 2.0 in OS X (1.1 in OS 9.x), FireWire 400, and the ATA-133 interface for speedy disk I/O. This card is in great condition, works, and also includes an 80-pin ATA (IDE) cable. I have to part with it as the 5500/6500 logic board has issues with PCI bridge chips (they are used to combine i.e. multiple interfaces on one PCI card) - I contacted Sonnet about that.

    For a full feature and compatibility list, have a look at Sonnet's TempoTrio Website.

  • Linksys Wireless B Ethernet Bridge WET11 802.11b:

    This barely used adapter allows computers to join wireless networks eventhough they don't natively support new wireless network hardware (such as 68k Macs or NuBus machines). Simply connect your computers NIC to the bridge, configure it through your browser, and you're ready to go. Worked great on my 68k. AppleTalk is unfortunately not routed wirelessly, but one can connect to a server using i.e. AppleTalk-over-IP. Some of its features are:

    - Accepts either cross-over or straight-through Cat. 5 UTP cable.
    - Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) 2.4GHz-Compliant equipment.
    - No Additional Drivers Are Needed. * Up to 11 Mbps High-Speed Transfer Rate.
    - Dynamically Shifts between 11, 5.5, 2, and 1Mbps for maximum adaptability.
    - Capable of up to 128-Bit WEP Encryption.
    - Standards: IEEE 802.11b, 11 Channels (US Canada)
    - Range Indoor: 50M ( 164 ft.) @ 11 Mbps 80M ( 262 ft.) @ 5.5 Mbps
    - Range Outdoor: 150M ( 492 ft.) @ 11 Mbps 300M ( 984 ft.) @ 5.5 Mbps
    - Indicator: LEDs for Power LAN WLAN Diagnostics

    It comes in its original packaging, including everything that came with it (the device, antenna, network cable, and power adapter).

  • LC575 and LC580/630 DOS Compatible Logic Boards:

    I've upgraded my Colour Classic to a Mystic using the 575 logic board. This was nice way to give the CC a faster edge in regard of performance. Later, I've upgraded it to a Takky 630 DOS compatible and played with it for a while.

    The LC575 board is pretty much stock (68LC040), regular onboard memory, and includes 1 MB VRAM for thousands of colours.

    The LC580/630 board includes the onboard memory, full 68040 CPU, and the DOS Compatible board upgraded with 32MB of RAM and a Cyrix 5x86 100MHz CPU. The Cyrix processor is a great improvement compared to the Intel 486DX/66 which came as stock component. Also, the 580/630 board includes two memory slots, allowing more that 132MB of RAM installed.

Both items listed below will work on either board and I'll gladly add them to either logic board. I also have various 72-pin simms which I'll give as a freebie with either one - they all should be 4MB modules.

  • Apple CommSlot I 10Mbit Ethernet Adapter:

    The NIC card is compatible with both the LC575 and LC580/630 logic boards and works with Apple's network drivers.

  • 128MB 72-pin dual-banked EDO SIMM:

    This SIMM works with both the LC575 and LC580/630 logic boards. When installed, it adds up to a total of 132MB of memory installed on both boards. If it is installed on the 580/630, it can only be used in the first memory slot, as the second only allows sinlge-banked memory.

If anyone's interested in any of these items, feel free to make a fair offer via PM or email. All offers are welcome! I accept payment through PayPal (I'm verified - eBay ID: BeniD82AL) and shipping will be from ZIP 35633. Thanks a lot guys!
