There are several things that might be contributing to it not working. Synthkit remains a very good platform for making physical models, hopefully I can get it working on this 1440x900 screen to make programming enjoyable (and laptops are typically quieter, so better in the studio.) Maybe the Magma pcmcia can work without the full pci controller implementation?

Has anyone had success with getting the PCMCIA controller to work on these more recent machines? I have a Korg Oasys PCI in a Magma chassis and have spent 8 or 9 hours trying to get it to run under Classic in 10.3.9 (tried Apple MIDI Manager and OMS.) Seems OMS cannot access the hardware via the OASYS PCI driver (which I believe is how the Synthkit application talks to the hardware when a *run* command is given.) So it seems I must go 100% native OS9 for this to work, however I've seen several reports that PCMCIA controllers aren't working on these later unsupported powerbooks. I'm about to try the unsupported 9.2.2 disk this on a Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz (boot rom 4.8.6f0)

If we can somehow get the correct GPU, trackpad and sound drivers this system would be amazing and super usable on OS9!! I have no idea how to do this but I'll do some research.

Haven't tested FireWire yet but everything else is functional! The system boots and is usable with a mouse, and by either having no GPU drivers installed, or the fixed one listed above.

The on-board audio doesn't appear to be supported by the Mac OS ROM. Sound also doesn't work (due to the screamer fix). It still appears that this is half the brightness of what the screen should be. If this driver is used the backlight will be turned completely off after the next reboot, so you will need to use a torch or something to light the screen, then go to the monitors control panel and change the brightness setting to zero (it has been reversed, most likey because this driver is for another GPU). I got multiple resolutions + all colour ranges working using a modified Jasper driver (from darthnVader) here. You can fix this by changing the monitor arrangement in the Monitors control panel. The screen will also be set to a ~800ењ†00 resolution rather than 1280x854px. The keyboard works fine but the trackpad is incredibly slow, I used a mouse instead. When the system boots it says that there is software is missing for the Apple Keyboard/Trackpad. The ATI drivers are incompatible as the machine has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (64MB) which was not supported by the OS.

The HID Library disables use of the trackpad. If these extensions remain in the system folder Mac OS 9 will not boot. The computer will now restart and you can either boot from the CD image listed above, or Mac OS 9 if it's been installed on your HD from the same image.ДЄfter restoring the HD image from the CD you must remove the following from the Extensions folder (within System Folder).
