startup chime twice on cold boot — #15

System 7.6.1. is exactly what I am booting, and exactly as shown in your video. Very interesting theory. (I am yet order a new battery, I shall find out in a few weeks)

My Quadra 700 does the exact same thing when booting 7.6.1. (Maybe other OSs but I haven't run any others in a long while.) It chimes, starts just enough to turn the CRT LED green,…

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

I wonder, but is it possible the system software doesn't have the correct or needed enabler for the CC? Depending on the system software version, was there ever an enabler require…

Thanks - turned out to be the thermal paste on the CPU. Bought some. Applied it. And then it blew up! So I'm consigning it to the great scrapyard in the sky xx(

Dual 604ev @ 300MHz? — #4

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall. It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

It IS possible to use the Classic version of IPNetRouter on a 68k machine. I had made a little DNS and mail server with a LC III once. Just put a Ethernet card in there, get it all…

Would anyone pay more than $20 for a ROM 0 IIgs? — #5

I seem to remember some of the Woz editions shipped with ROM 01 boards. It looks like mine certainly did. Also, are there any real hardware differences between ROM 00 and 01 machin…
