O.O I see a tyan motherboard box! You must give us a model number!(if you took it)

I don't envy you for having to take all those CRT displays, but other than that, fantastic score. The AIO Compaq and all the software, parts and accessories are particularly neat.

First a bit of back story - Skip ahead if you want to get to the goods I did some work for a local church years back involving restoring a few older computers (Pentium IIs and …

I used to use an alphasmart in like, 4th or 5th grade.

Awesome find! Yea I got two Pismos (since sold one) that were both DOA but I unplugged the PRAM battery and they work! The 500 mHz's are the best and harder to find, congrats!

You were right! I unplugged the pram battery and it booted right up!! It has 256mb of ram and is 500mhz!! The harddrive I put in is 20gb with O.S.9.2. I will get a new p…

That mirror is a gold mine! :O

Remove the PRAM battery. It may be too dead and will cause it to not boot. Just remove the keyboard and the CD/DVD drive and you will see it on the right hand side.

Here's a set of interesting schematics to build your own Apple Widget. Suddenly I begin to understand where stuff like this comes from. Where are these kinds of schematics for the …

Just picked up a very nice looking pismo. The first one I have had! No hardrive. Plugged it in. Nothing. Checked and reset the ram, added a hardrive. Checked all the cables unde…

I don't think "HD 1080" and "G4" can be said in the same sentence; you basically need an Intel Mac to do this sort of stuff. Still, it makes for a wonderful server/general use mac…

IIRC, there was something funky about the video signal and PRAM batteries on the pizzaboxen. Search posts by Danamania and whatever other teems might be necessary to find the answe…

I used to use an AlphaSmart 3000 (translucent case, released around the same time as the iMac) in elementary and middle school, because of my poor ability to write. They are pretty…

Well the adapter worked before... Click to expand... Try multiple VGA monitors.

The original beige model; got it for free! It doesn't work ATM though.

They can handle HD right? If so then that could be a set top box. Put 3 500GB drives and you're set. :beige:

I think the OP left the forum.

To Scott. This is not a democracy, as much as you would like it to be. the post-edit-timout is here to stay. Get over it. Pretty much everyone else has. Click to expand... S…

You don't actually have to do it from another machine. When I flashed a card years ago I just turned on remote desktop before I installed it, shared the screen and flashed it direc…

To Scott. This is not a democracy, as much as you would like it to be. Forums don't work as democracies... it has been tried and has failed in the past. We're happy to take input f…

Again, to rephrase what I said in my original post. Everyone here just needs to show a little more respect to each other's view points and everything here would be hunky dory. C…

Once again mars478, you've failed to have patience. All you had to do was let that machine sit for 1-2 weeks to completely dry out and adjust to room temperature. In trying to test…

That shouldn't be a problem. I've got a box here with darn near 100 sticks of 72-pin RAM. Should the OP need some, I am more than sure could dig him up a pair of matched 32MB or ma…
