Its a great idea I should work on it it would be fun watching Pc games run
on powermac G4s G5s.
if orange micro was a around in the 2000s they would make these cards for
those machines.
its a great mac invention to run windows apps at native speed
PowerPC 86x emulation is too slow for PC gaming!!!!

I am sorry we are talking about different items. There was a Quadra
630 DOS that had a DOS card built in. OrangeMicro made a model 630 PCI
DOS. The DOS card in the Quadra 630 had a 486 processor. Some of the
486 based DOS cards did have socketed processors which could be
upgraded using the "Overdrive" 486 processor, which could give you a

Bill the Performa LC quadra 630 doscard has 486 technology. 486 CPU sokets
can only take cyrix 5x86 or other 5x86 chips. 5x86 chips are like pentium
ones but made by cyrix.
You can Not upgrade the Performa quadra LC 630doscard to a pentium 3 you can
damage the cpu soket or worst the doscard. 486 cpu sokets don't have fans

The OrangeMicro DOS compatibility cards operate on any Mac with a PCI
slot running up to Mac OS 9.2.2. The cards run any MS OS from DOS 5
through Win 98/NT4. There were several models of the OrangePC cards, I
think the model 630 could be upgraded to a 500MHz PIII. The LEMSwap
list or eBay would be the best sources for these old cards. Make sure

The first DOS-on-Mac solution was introduced on April 2, 1985. At
first many thought it had to be an April Fools Joke, but the Dayna
MacCharlie was for real. It put a PC compatible in a beige box with a
5.25" floppy drive that coupled to a Mac 128K or 512K.

I'm working on a profile on this unusual device, and I'd like to hear

You do not mention which model Orange Micro PC card you are using.
The only references I have at hand are for the 6xx series of card.
The model 620 supports Intel Pentium MMX and classic Pentium 100-233
MHz processors, including the Cyrix 6x86, 6x86L, 6x86MX, M II
PR166-300, AMD-K5 and K6 166-300 MHz, IDT WinChip C6 180-240 MHz

Orange Micro in a 9600

2008-03-08T03:29:43Z

I was using an Orange Micro in my 9600. It worked OK until I upgraded
the PC processor and went to 9.2.2. The processor upgrade was supposed
to be legal. Can someone give me some ideas on this, or would several
Orange Micro users want to pool knowledge to solve problems? I would
like to run Windows 2000 on it so I could run older Windows CAD

I'm looking for Apple Part Number 661-1017, the DOS adapter board for
an LC 630/640 DOS compatible, and the cables to go with it. I have
the DOS processor card, and the DOS sound card, but I need that
adapter board to make everything work. I'm installing all this in a
mint Performa 638CD. When I installed the DOC processor card, it

Yes this is possible with the use of Virtual PC, although it won't be very

Running Win9x on a G4

2007-09-17T20:58:04Z

Hi,
Is it possible to run Windows 9x on a G4 eMac? Recently got one of
the closeout "educational" units from Wegener. Came with fresh
install of 10.4. Am buying an OS 9 disk so it can run 'Classic'
programs, which was a key reason to buy it.
With 1 GHz processor, am thinking it may be able to handle an emulator.
