Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Conquest: Blue G3 — #13

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Conquest: Blue G3 — #12

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

Rescued a 512k today. WTB a pristine system disk? — #14

No sweat. I really appreciate this. As for versions, I think System 4.1 was the last version to support the 512k M0001, am I right? Whatever is supported will be cool. Thanks aga…

G4 AGP Graphics — #2

I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…

G4 AGP Graphics — #1

Via a local kijiji seller: a 400MHz G4 AGP Graphics with 1GB RAM and a nice, quiet 20GB hard drive. It was filthy (smoker and dust) so it was disassembled and washed and is drying …

No misunderstanding with me. However some people bristle at the idea of paying for these things when most of us are willing to donate what is essentially a very inexpensive item fo…

Early Mac schematic — #16

My experience is that digital boards rarely fail, and a classic Mac that doesn't boot nearly always has analog problems. Click to expand... All of the dead 128k digital boards …

Disconnecting CRT from powerboard — #13

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.
