Alright, I’m gonna put out a call, since searches have come up blank: if anyone has a complete driver package for the MSI Mega 651 (or similar models), please, PLEASE archive it. Or send it to me and I’ll do it. If someone knows where one is, please let me know.

Let's try this again. Saturday's noon stream will be checking out my Quadra 950 that Mac84 has me worried will be full of battery leakage carnage. The extra 3 days has pretty much guaranteed that happening. Also new stream intro sequence by @gutbomb.net not to be missed! youtube.com/live/oA7H7Tt...

Last week, @Mac84 did a stream where he checked out a Macintosh Quadra 950 that he got for $20 because it is battery-damaged:

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Macintosh LC machines are such a cute machine, even if pokey. Just did a motherboard swap on this battery bombed machine and brought it back alive

I got a Macintosh Quadra 950 video editing computer at VCFMW, but I haven't opened it up. Since @mac84.bsky.social 's latest stream, I'm worried that the battery leaked. Let's pop it open Wednesday at 3:30 eastern and back up the harddrive with BlueSCSI initiator mode. youtube.com/live/oA7H7Tt...
