if I look off the network settings for the G5 Tower that auto-connects, is there a way i could manually enter that info in on the G4 MDD? Click to expand... If I recall, in aut…

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt. I think that was the initial reason it was disconnected in the first place, I guess I just "happened" to revive it for a few months. And I've had an AWEFUL …

The power supplies on that model are known to fail, so that may be what died. As for ethernet, sometimes the computer won't autonegotiate a suitable connection with the central hub…

One utility you may want to track down is called System Picker. I'm not sure off the top of my head who developed it or what its license was (freeware, shareware, proprietary, etc)…

To "unbless" a system folder you need to remove either the System file or the Finder. One easy way is to create a folder inside the system folder called "Finder Hide" or some such …

yea it should not be hard to add the termination, but resistors alone do nothing for noise, you need a rc network by the time you figure out what noise is present and do the math …

I haven't looked at the specs, but it's probably not a big deal to change out the internal terminator packs with the "proper value" of resistor to create an on-board Black Terminat…

Do you use two (3.1V) or three (4.65V) to replace a 3.6V PRAM battery? Or are you referring to replacing the 4.5V square PRAM batteries as pictured above?

It is possible to hack/ add a localtalk port just next to the Newton Interconnect port (that little square piece of plastic comes right out when you disassemble the thing), for dir…

Well, I was searching ebay and actually found another 6100 DOS compatible. The opening bid was 99 cents so I bid it and won. The shipping was a bit high but not more than I would h…

Yes I desperately need one for my IIfx. I'll send you a PM. Tempest

Gottcha. Well I went to work on it today (finally), and the machine is dead. I always kept the computer in sleep mode while I was logged in and the computer was locked, and apparen…

Tempest, Would you be looking for a black terminator? A couple of days ago, I found my old one (got rid of the IIfx some time ago). John

According to the hard drives article (page 120) in December 1990 MacUser, "the Mac IIfx differs from previous Macs in that it requires so-called black terminators with built-in fil…

It would appear that both power supplies are good, and the 3rd power supply that Tempest sent is good as well. This is the one that tested bad before. I'm thinking that the bad c…

I use the AA and AAA lithium which are usually around 1.55 volts when new.

I recently got a Newton 2100 and love it. The screen size, battery life, backlight, and handwriting recognition are all amazing. The only problem is that I seem to be facing a boot…

Note that there are three different PDS right angle adapters for the 6100: 601 PDS -> PDS passthrough for AV and HPV video cards. The Sonnet G3 upgrade also presents a 60…

Would I have to solder the wires to the existing battery socket? If I could attach the wires without soldering, that would be better. Click to expand... In the case of machines…

I dont have a problem with buying batteries online, but only from certain trusted places, random google hits and ebay are just too loaded with half battery half led weight for me t…

Do I have to use surface mount capacitors? Or could I use one that's the same rating, but just solder the wires to the pads? My hands shake too much and I have the hardest time t…

Now all I need is the actual card and angle adapter for my 6100 Click to expand... I might have a spare 6100 PDS adapter in the garage somewhere. The card can befound easily en…

I wouldn't mind images of the disks (except the DOS 6.22 and laserwriter ones) if you don't mind. Would be nice to have for my 6100 DOS machine. I think I have the manuals, just n…

I got a brand new SAFT 3.6V lithium online for a good price. My multimeter shows its perfectly good.

Tempest and I made an agreement for him to send me 2 broken Mac II's (one somewhat gutted) in exchange for repair and recap of his IIfx logic board. I basically paid to have the s…
