I have a Mac IIci with no ROM in the ROM slot, but it works fine. What's the ROM slot for? Does it provide any advantages?

Yeah.

Can the propeller work from a 62.6688Mhz clock? If so it's sampling can synchronised with the mac's pixel clock at four times. Alternatively, can it not use a 78.336Mhz clock? So …

I can. The issue is the strange frequency. Most microcontrollers and processors are made today to use a evenly divisible clock frequency. I want to use the Propeller because it hav…

I still don't understand why you simply can't source the clock off the Mac motherboard. If you don't want to solder to it use an alligator clip. I'm sure there's somewhere you can …

The RTClock / calendar / PRAM chip has its own 32KHz crystal. Everything else runs off the "16MHz" clock. If you don't care about serial baud rates, floppy read / write, or video s…

Hmm, my SE does something similar when the System file is present but not the Finder file. Not sure if this is related though.

Yeah, I know! I am excited, with the release of Snow Leopard we'll be seeing all kind of curb things. Some day PowerMac G5s! But this machine is the cutoff for newworld machines …

Nice to see kerb scores entering the New World ROM age, and right on schedule

The fact that Grackle68k exists is wonderful / because the tiny slice of the population who still earnestly uses OS 9 is either clinically paranoid, hasn't read a software review s…

The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated. ~ A year later it started up again so I just lubricated it myself. Anyway... lubricate the eMac fan, …

I wish we had curbs :'(

Uncommon but not really valuable as they can't do anything but what they were intended.

I love my pismo quite a bit. I got mine for free from Cory5412 a while ago. I got it a new palmrest/LCD assembly. It looks amazing, but its got one outstanding issue I've yet to co…

Cool are those valuable?

Its a DVD decoder daughter board.

Sweet. I have a 400MHz model and it's easily one of my favorite Macs of all time. The hot-swappable bays, Firewire, USB, PCMCIA, Airport...just a great machine! I recently score…
