Yeah, I did an optical drive upgrade on mine; then two weeks later had the hard drive die; then a month later, when I got a MacBook Pro, decided to put the recently-installed optic…

I used to work on eMacs all the time. The only frustrating step was the pigtail wire that runs from the power button to the logic board. They made the wire so short and there is …

AH! It SUCKS to do an eMac Upgrade. There is no shield over that scary huge CRT. Erhh. It took me hours To complete a DVD Drive upgrade on mine and it doesn't work correctly . iB…

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks. Click to expand... Yeah, All iBooks were terrible to work on, clamshell included.

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks.

I just had my first occasion to replace a hard drive in an eMac. My goodness, what a gigantic PIA! It was easy to do, but it took about an hour from start to finish and included s…

System 7.6.1. is exactly what I am booting, and exactly as shown in your video. Very interesting theory. (I am yet order a new battery, I shall find out in a few weeks)

I found that earlier, but wans't sure which to download. I'm dual booting XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm thinking the Vista drivers might work with 7. Windows' generic drivers…

I couldn't get a ROM 03 into my Woz fast enough. Who cares if it's not original; that, some RAM, a Transwarp and an AE HD make it a wonderful little box.

this is what google pops up http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi/2940/AHA-2940AU/ the 2000 driver should work fine on windows 2000 and 32 bit xp, if it is not just a generi…

smooth platter spin is a good sign, course you wont really know until you engage the heads is there a name on the card?

My Quadra 700 does the exact same thing when booting 7.6.1. (Maybe other OSs but I haven't run any others in a long while.) It chimes, starts just enough to turn the CRT LED green,…

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I was about to drop a load of cash on Mac Disk. I'm hoping the driver comes with the card. I'm pretty sure I can find it online though. I powered up …

I would recommend either Gemulator Explorer or HFSExplorer both run on windows and work well. (Don't forget windows drivers for the SCSI card. Sometimes it isn't just plug an' p…

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

Lolwut? What do you mean it blew up? Pictures?

I wonder, but is it possible the system software doesn't have the correct or needed enabler for the CC? Depending on the system software version, was there ever an enabler require…

Thanks for the offer, but I just bought a cheap one off of eBay. Oh well, it only cost me $15 with shipping and it is from a reputable company. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $15…

I have a pc pci scsi card sitting in my parents garage you can have (its been sitting in the exact same place for 10 years now)

how did you manage that :?:

Never mind... Google is my friend. ) It's a SCSI, so now what? I would hate to buy a SCSI card for a drive that has been dormant for nearly ten years. :-/

I have a dead LC II. I'd like to see if the hard drive is still good and if possible, copy any data off of it. However, the connector is most definitely not IDE as it has about 1/3…

Thanks - turned out to be the thermal paste on the CPU. Bought some. Applied it. And then it blew up! So I'm consigning it to the great scrapyard in the sky xx(
