You can use ATX on a tower (will fit fine), but I don't think the desktop version can fit a standard ATX supply in the case.

There are a couple 68040 accelerators for the IIfx, along with the Radius Rocket, thats it.

It might be overheating. The original thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink has almost certainly dried out, if it hasn't been renewed. Also check that the heatsink clip is t…

LEM says not

On a side note. Did they ever make a compatible PPC upgrade for the IIfx? Or is expansion seriously limited due to the unique architecture of the motherboard?

Howdy all I've got a ye olde G3 beige desktop, with a zip drive, 256MB RAM, 8GB disk, etc. OS X 10.2.8. It will work correctly for about 30 mins - an hour, but will then turn off…

Hmmm you upload the sounds it makes?

I'm experiencing Déja Vu again

Hi guys, I recently got a very nice iMac G4 (17" 1.25GHz/USB 2.0 model). It works fine - but, when I start it up, it makes a strange sound. It makes the normal startup bong, and …

To be honest(yes, I know my opinion does not enter into anything) I think the forum is fine the way it is. We do not need extra crap to load it down. It is nice and fast and fine.

so no discussion will happen, since the mods cant make coherent or on topic post most of the time wouldn't it have been easier to just say no?

Who said anything about you getting to discuss it? All changes made to the forum are discussed by the moderation team... My personal view on the matter is that it'll probably stay…

Possibly... it will have to be discussed once we've upgraded. Click to expand... Excellent. So we get to discuss features which are added, but not features which are removed.

That last paragraph is key, and very good news for me, who has a IIfx to get up and running soon.

Make sure you installed the batteries correctly and they're the type that are supposed to be soldered. If I were you, I would install 3.6 V battery holders so you don't have to bo…

I recapped both of my IIx systems and the IIx spare motherboard, they are reliable now. Not realy that many capacitors (or values) needed.

Possibly... it will have to be discussed once we've upgraded.

Hey tl, phpBB 3.0.6 adds quick reply-- are you going to enable it here?

As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof Click to expand... Well that's a good thing anyway, as they are over 20 years old!

Surface mount caps can leak from underneath and sometimes you wont see the goo until you remove them. Click to expand... 9 out of 10 times i hear that i think people are mistak…

PSU is a refurb I purchases as initially I thought it was faulty. As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof

Surface mount caps can leak from underneath and sometimes you wont see the goo until you remove them. Capacitors inside the PSU itself are probably due for replacement anyway.

No luck even after the MC68030 which was 'borrowed' from a working Mac.
