From memory, a CUDA reset is a good idea when adding any new hardware. And I don't remember if it's been pointed out before, but the card needs to be installed (and recognised) be…

Sorry for the late reply. I am trying to find the software again, but no luck. This is really hard to find. But do I need the software? Or can I plug it in my PCMCIA slot and go …

Well, it was literally just the computer in the box. I was kinda disappointed. Oh well. The new RAM I bought also works in the Quadra. I'll keep a lookout on eBay for an acce…

Well thats a disappointment, I was expecting you'd get everything...or at least most of everything, anyway.

I'm not too confident that it would help fix the problem, but its certainly worth a try, the only downside is that you'll lose all your PRAM settings (sound volume, alert sound, da…

Have you looked at the switch that tells the Mac when the lid is closed? That's often a reed switch and magnet. Reed switches have a tendency over time to get "sticky", and your 14…

A 470 uF mylar would be huge! Going up a step in voltage won't hurt, and may offer a bit better reliability, but the temperature rating is a better measure of how long they last. I…

Before i go spending retirement money we don't have ( the wifey is already furious about this project on an old machine as she sezs ) do you guys think that perhaps resetting the …

The OmniBook 300s are beautiful. Never been able to land one. I do have a OmniGo 700LX, but no phone for it, of course. I used a 95LX for a long time. A delightful little unit. …

NICEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! You can do the glowing Apple Mod, where you change the color of the Apple. Those are great laptops, I have one in my collection, it's my mom's.

So today I get call from my youth pastor saying "Somebody has donated a black macbook(lucky!). My iBook just sort of growels at me so I may give it to you to tinker with(it needs a…

Dead logic board battery? PRAM needing reset? Hard drive(s) could be of an ATA standard that isn't supported? Maybe the controller for all the drives went dead? All the above? …

CF card in a PCMCIA adapter.

Nice... so the reseller in Singapore didn't actually have the cable they claimed to have. So I'm not out $25, but I also still have no way of getting stuff on or off of this syste…

Windows 98 SE can use wireless, if you buy an older card with drivers. I remember one time when mom brought home a State of Texas laptop from work. Damn thing had no Ethernet port …

Windows 95 means no wireless and no even remotely modern browsers. I'm going to put in a 128 MB stick and try either a trimmed version of Win2k or slackware. Id' do gentoo so I c…

I was at SalVal today, and found a small leather bag which contained a fully functional AST 280M notebook. Specs: Cyrix (Ha! Remember them?) 200GXM CPU 32 MB RAM 8" 640x480 colo…
