Your SE/30 should be able to format an 800k disk as single-sided 400k format with System 6 or 7.

The symptoms started after I added the RAM, which was about 2 weeks ago.

I think that some of the RAM might be bad, because the 8100 is now unstable. Click to expand... An X100 machine that old, there's a good chance that the heat sink grease is wor…

I did a handful recently, and uploaded them to the wiki. They look very nice at larger sizes. At 32px, I think I prefer the isometric view of the Icon Factory icons. YMMV. I'm …

Basically, I am, but I'm not. Like, I can use it, but I have to put up with my parents telling me about how Tracy Grimshaw or whoever the hell it is that does A Current Affair thes…

As much as I'd love to take it up to say, a gig...I can't imagine being able to find 2 512MB PC133 sticks around here for anywhere near a price that I'd want to pay. Click to ex…

Another note, I use tiger as my OS of choice on my 350MMHZ Slotloader and 'tis is fine.

Post pictures to imageshack and then embed them here. For a start you may want to remove the extra board.

Your Mac shows 512K because it has the original 64K ROMs most likely. You actually have 1.5MB of RAM installed, it looks like. The mobo RAM chips have probably been replaced upgrad…

Hi, Yesterday I picked up my first 512k. They are hard to get in Europe so I had to pay a whopping 20 euro for it ;-) But, on boot no glory. I opened it up and after scanning t…

Sounds like typical symptoms of capacitor leakage. My Classic II gave me the jailbars a few years back, washed the board and although the sound never returned, the machine was as g…

I have a classic II that had a similar problem, it was cap leakage.

Hehe I was waiting for someone to see the CD-ROM and go "wtf" Indeed it is by my own hand. On a poor resolution iPhone camera it looks like a decent job, however up close you can …

Methinks the classic II is slightly dead. Pulled the thing apart again, the motherboard was fairly free of dust. Examined the RAM and connectors, no tarnishing or discolouration.…

I have to agree with the consensus that the CD-ROM equipped IIsi is a hack. But one well-executed hack, at least from the outside. When I get my IIsi out of storage, I may have t…

"Software for processor cards in PCI power macs is not *required* since it replaces the original processor. It will run just fine, except Apple System Profiler may not display the …

That is weird. None of the Mac fan sites that I can find makes any mention of a IIsi coming with an internal CD ROM or of any upgrades from Apple or third parties to allow that. Yo…

Austin's Goodwill Compter Works is excellent, and there are several other computer recycle / resale operations, as you'd expect in a university town. Click to expand... What ar…

Yep, that machine most certainly does have an internal CD-ROM...likewise I'd be really interested to see a pic of the guts of the machine.

Is it just me or does that IIsi have an internal CD-ROM? If so, how exactly did you go about putting that in?

Well scored there LCGuy! Getting the machine over 512MB will make a big difference in OS X - but it should still run adequately. And they make great DVD players, especially with th…

Just a note/ flag that these are currently available at $1.99 each on ebay (with best offers available too) if you want to revive a PowerBook by replacing a dead backup battery. Th…

I think that some of the RAM might be bad, because the 8100 is now unstable. I'm getting random Finder quits, hangs, and even a System bomb on startup (you know, the fun kind, wher…

Sometimes if you leave it on for a long time (and we're talking anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours) it will just "mysteriously" chime and start up. I've done this on an SE/30 and …

Success! It turns out that the problem was two-fold: first was the PRAM battery, second was a SCSI conflict. Both are two really newbie mistakes which shouldn't have taken 5 month…
