That's an amazing deal! Congrats!

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally decided to allow the OS 9 disc to format the hard drive and installed it Firmware now updated, and Tiger installation restored perfectly w…

It has arrived !! As described, 300mhz, 288mb, 3gb with a dead battery and cracks around the apple under the screen + the plastic on the handle No airport card, 10.2 was installe…

ok lets start again. I found a color classic on new zealands ebay trademe.co.nz it would not boot.. so when it came i looked inside bad caps. replace the caps and booted it up…

You really do need a battery. 6 Volt lead-acid type as for a burglar alarm, if you don't want to rebuild an original battery. The AC adapter doesn't supply enough surge current, ev…

Got it working! Located a ][ Plus in working shape, and put the stuff in it. I've been going through the diskettes checking each one for read errors, locating backups and duplicate…

Does that mean that if you put the Portable ROM in an SE and adjusted some decoding in the GLUE chips to point at the right places the SE could have 8 MB of RAM? I guess you'd also…

- I've read the portables need a battery because the power supply isn't enough to operate properly. You need to leave the battery in the Portable. - Did you look in the Control pa…

Sounds like bad caps to me based on what the other guys are saying in the other threads the past few weeks. I'm sure one of them more in the know will have some idea more than me …

Have you tried external speakers?

Hey all, I'm new here. I just picked up an SE/30 on eBay for a decent price (always wanted one of these to add to my collection). It works great except when you boot it from a col…

Gorgonops much thanks there. I think I'm going with the xserve and licenses after all. Get this - the simple reason is: ....... We are only allowed to place rack units in the d…

Turns out that I have a 333mhz processor, not a 400mhz processor installed. I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I …

I take it from the context here that the motherboard stays powered alive if a battery is left in a Pismo eh? That sucks... been there too. I fried my only IIGS motherboard back …

Triangle Computing used to have one as well. Missed that one on Ebay years ago too, but I do have their Scsi accelerator card. It had drivers for up to OS 6.0.8 too! That card s…

That certainly would make some sense electrically if all that is different is a higher ohm rating of the total termination value. Might have to try that at some point when I have …

While the mini isn't as visually robust as a PowerMac G5, I have a hard time thinking of ways in which it is actually less capable at anything. Click to expand... GPU power is …

CPU Director for OS 9 does a better job than XLR8s, and no serial required! You also need to couple the multiplier with a bus speed the 8600/9600 likes; most don't like to be push…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through? Click to expand... He's been saving them. He uses them to build a database that can dist…

Okay, so I got the XLR8 to work (and it took a bit of digging as of course, there is a Ben 10 character with the same name...) and now I'm running a G3 at a blazingly fast 400mhz (…

Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…

id put a multimeter on it and at least see if its putting out 12v and 5v on the drive power lines, regardless on how much power your drawing from it, your not going to get very far…

No clue, but I did unplug the monitor from the second plug on the power supply just in case it was drawing too much power.

have any clue what voltages the power supply is putting out

I did. No dice.
