This is my second build for the second project. Initially, I wanted to build it in mirror mode. I have a machine based on 8100\80 + Sonnet 260\1mb. It has two Radius GX1600 cards installed. In the Epansion Chassis, there are 3xDisc i\o 8xFarm and SC. I also have a Seper Mac Thunder II; it’s also claimed to be 1600x1200, but it has image artifacts, just like the other Radius card. I hope this is due to the incompatibility of the DB25‑VGA adapter.

The “larger” system is currently running on MAC OS 8.5.1. The system with lexicon is MAC OS 8.1.
The plan is to migrate all systems with PPC to 9.0 so that files can be retrieved via wide‑SCSI and Mac G4.

Thanks! I have boards for the nubus bus, starting with sound tools 1989. I hope I’ll get all the boards in order. I really like the LC475 with LC audio media. The nubus version is available in the Q650 +SC II version, the PPC upgrade board. In addition, IIFX is expecting the SA-4 and 442 models to appear. Of the four chassis, only two are currently in use in the systems. But one interface board isn’t working (. I also encountered a problem where the system profiler doesn’t recognize the SC, even though it’s a new board and no one has removed it from the case. There’s also a Q950 with aviation sound, but I would prefer the Q650, as it seemed more performant to me thanks to the memory with 72 SIMMs.
