Thanks for the info.Here are the floppies that came with it. I will make images of them. "Macintosh Basics" Says "Start up from this disc" "Apple Network product installer" "Mac…

What they might mean by that is that the machines have data on them that aren't already on other computers, it's not always that they want the data secret or private, as much as th…

If you want to try replacing the PAV board, I've got a good one here that would go pretty cheaply. Shipping to Australia would be steep though.

Why don't you try to fix it? The iMac are very easy to fix. Do you have an idea of what is wrong with it? Don't scrap it, it may just be the PAV board.

Nah, they were all grey bits, there was one bit of black plastic, still, I'm happy to have pulled the RAM out of it, 2x256MB sticks, wow. Dunno what to do with the rest of it. iM…

I am getting an WhiteBook and TiBook and they are being delayed from being in my hands because, "They have to get the data off of it" Blasphemy. I told em Ill remove the HDs for th…

Also note, with the CRT disconnected, it "flups" much faster, but still doesn't power up. I think this isolates the issue to the analog board.

Makes me sad to look at my Classic 2.

Printers suck. I feel like blowtorching mine.

Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of it too. Click to expand... If these pieces are a brownish colour, then it's most likely the bonding agent around the CRT rings flaking of…

The plastics around the speaker assemblies are brittle. When you move my iMac G3 Around, you here bits and pieces shaking...

I finally got around to tearing down the old Macintosh 512k to see what the problem is. Visually the electronics appeared fine, so it looks like I need your help, 68kMLA. It has t…

G'day Mars, Yeah, it won't power on at all and gives off a warm plastic smell, so you're probably right as to the reason for it's deadness. Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of…

Check the speaker connections/try swapping the speaker units around. If there is no change, everything might be due for a cap replacement. trag sells complete IIci kits though.

The Bernoulii wasn't really all that rare and was actually a slightly better technology than Syquest's. Click to expand... Yeah - I've got the 2nd edition of Macs for Dummies, …

When I get an old Mac that still has the data I always poke around to see what's there personal files I could care less about though. For example, my Performa had Photoshop and Pag…

hot air, quickchip and solder paste is all abit overkill for some capacitors, I replace them all the time with a standard iron and a gentle hand, but whatever floats your boat, lea…

I am trying the Radius Direct Color GX, with an NEC Adaptor to both of my VGA CRTs and none of them detect it :-/ When I get back to NY, I'll try it with the LCD that worked wi…

I have the full set of LC III System 7.1 Install disks which I can send you (via .img disk image) if you would like.

Great tips, Bunsen! Have you done an in-depth study of where hot air stagnates inside the case? I've always loved the 6100. It's a great little machine, but the 30/33MHz bus is …

No, it's just your VGA monitor's problem. and tbh, I have never seen a 30-pin one strangely. xD and the radius card will prob. work with an LCD w/adapter fine.

Phew! So an Adaptor that I am using will NOT work... I also have the Radius Card in one of them, Does that have the same restrictions as the On-Board Video? Are the RAM Doublers…
