Hi, I don't know if anyone else is still here.

Of course, I go to the forum almost every day. Now I leave messages less often, because my Mac studies have gone far beyond OS 9.

I have such a card, it works, but 256 Mb is not displayed in the properties, only 128.
On the weekend I can install it again in QS and see how it works, this card has been in the box for a long time...
Have you changed the ROM Chip? Maybe it's not compatible?

P.S.  I don't know why, but I can't leave attachments here. I added a few photos to the archive.

This is great!!! Could you download your ROM to test it on my graphics card? The EEPROM I used is the same one I've used on many other Radeon and NVIDIA graphics cards; it's usually compatible. I accidentally didn't save the original; it got mixed up with others I'd removed, and I can't see which one it was.

It would be great to be able to see photos from both sides, in good quality. If you couldn't upload them, it's a common forum error with high-resolution photos. I usually reduce the size of the photos, and then they'll be uploaded.

Thought I would share this anomaly that I discovered with the XSkey emulator.

Some machines I’ve tried XSkey Emulator will crash on launch but work fine on my actual USB XSkey. Seems to be affecting both my G3/266 Desktop and PowerBook G3/266mhz laptop. Believe it’s an error 3 code that is thrown on both those machines.

No issue on my G3 iBook 300mhz and up.

I think both the G3 Desktop and the PowerBook G3 didn't have any USB from the factory but you added an expansion card right?
There is probably a difference with the USB extensions. I'm calling back to the original USB extension to not break anything, but this is probably failing in your case.

Can you send me a list of the installed system extensions on one (or both) of these systems?

This makes sense, because both did not have USB from factory.

Don’t have the machine extensions handy off my head, but I do know the Desktop is running Orange USB/Firewire and the PowerBook has an Adaptec USB 2.0 card.

I’ll track down more specific extensions when I get a chance.

Error 3 is "illegal instruction error".

Glad I was able to help out with some of it. That setup you have is peak Logic TDM performance. I would say it’s better than what I have achieved with PTHD and Logic 6/7 on PPC.

Please put up a video on youtube and link, I never had a single client on that setup and I never saw logic on PT hardware... it sounds like an amazing setup !

I have been stuck on LPX 10.4.8 and LPX 10.6.3 forever since anything newer is both laggy and buggy on my hardware

Here is a walkthrough of my Logic Pro 6 TDM workflow. https://youtu.be/4GznO1bmVAs?si=VCRJTqtKGDBaiU_S

Will do this evening.

Here you go, just say if you need closeup images.

Hopefully this works! This is my current 9200 card.

Thanks for responding. Your 128MB card looks the same as mine in terms of component layout. Could you provide a photo of each side, clearly showing the position of all the resistors? I'll compare it with mine to find any differences.

Some selectable resistors are under the heatsink.

Hopefully this works! This is my current 9200 card.
