Since I needed a bunch I decided to go with a bulk purchase and managed to find 10 packs for $28 shipped. Nearly every beige Powermac and Quadra I have thinks it's 1956. 8-o

PowerLogix made some replacement G4 cube cases that came in were black, white and I believe silver.

When I put the 1ghz G4 in my 7500 it wouldn't power up at first. It's a good thing I got an instruction manual because in the manual it says when you remove the old CPU you have to…

I've just had a message from the person I bought the PAL Encoder card from. He says's he's found the paperwork for the Encoder card and is posting it on. Will add to the thread w…

When I first tried to power it up the PS would only click and the PS fan would make a feeble attempt to run. Thought I had been screwed with a DOA, but after some head scratching …

Can you temporarily install an internal ethernet network card and see if that will establish a connection online? If it does work, chances are it could be the ethernet port on the…

Hi, me again. We have a Quicksilver G4 at my school, and I've recently set it up as a browsing machine. If I'm correct, its a 933 MHz Model with 128 MB RAM, not 100% sure on the H…

Picked up a 9600 G4/800 today, 512 MB Ram, a 4 GB SCSI drive and a 10 GB IDE drive driven off an IDE/USB/Firewire card. Radeon 7000 Video card and the usual floppy and CD drives. …

Sounds complicated. There must be another way. I've read something that said you need to do a clean install, but I can't figure out how to do that. Someone said to hold down Opt…

The simplest way, if you're willing to start from scratch, is to partition the drive, one partition per System. That way, you can use Startup Disk to swap, and don't have to worry…

I have System 7 installed on my SE/30 but I'd also like to install System 6 an use system picker to switch between the two. I've renamed my System Folder to System 7 so it doesn't…

Hi Here's a shot of the area around slot 7. The cable (with single-pin-socket) attached to the card would reach to the connectors to the right of the slot but I've no idea which …

In every instance since the late 1980s, CPUs are faster than memory, which is why the CPU speed is decoupled from memory speed. But using one clock base to drive memory and CPU jus…

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed. Click to expand... That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator …

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed. Click to expand... My only experience is with the Crescendo Nubus G3 cards and the automatic configuration of their …

That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator crystal to which the memory and processor must obey. In Apple IIs and the early Mac…

I definitely wouldn't recycle it... I'm sure you can find *someone* to take it off your hands.

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed.

I'd either hang onto it or sell it, definitely don't recycle it...I don't think StarMax's are all that common (well at least they're not here in Australia anyway, none of the clone…

I wonder if calculating pi to some long number of digits would use up a lot of RAM... I like RAM Disks myself. Click to expand... I put the System file and Finder on a R…

Don't the Sonnet upgrades automatically increase in speed depending on the bus speed? The 7600/120 has a 40 MHz bus, while the 7600/132 has a 44 MHz bus, so I think the upgrade is…

I had bob, its not too bad until you try and use it
