On a PowerBook 160 that I have been playing with this morning, I noticed, to my surprise, that if I turn off the 16 greys and set the Monitors Control Panel to display in B/W only,…

I have an 840av in nearly stock config, paired to an AudioVision display, which although "for" the x100 powermacs, works fabulously if you've got the correct adaptor. I tried 7.6.…

I want a red one, cuz red goes faster

Sounds like either the thread is all chewed up in the hole on the front panel, or else the screws are out, its just friction on the back panel stopping them falling out. To tell th…

So, I'm trying to get into my Classic II to install some RAM. I have a T-15 driver that will reach the silver screws under the handle. I can take a flashlight, shine it into the …

Seems like a good trade to me. I've always liked the 840AV's and in particular the nice compact case style which has alwaysd struck as both cute and elegant at the same time. Th…

If I had two working examples (I do happily have one), I would pop in a 68-pin scsi and Nubus Jackhammer, and install MacOS 8.1 on one of the machines. A Nubus card like the Spigot…

Oh man, I meant to say AdoptAMac.com was the site. Not We Love macs. Forgive me, I dunno where I got that from. EDIT: I meant to also say that I was getting the 840avs from Chri…

Keep one as the parts machine. We Love Macs was cheaper? Thats..... weird. (we need a raised eyebrow emotican) Click to expand... actually, since the adapter would do greater …

"der PoewrMAClone in der Box" - I like that

Am I OK to assume that my problem is there and that this computer won't see more than 2GB anytime soon, not even multiple 2 GB partitions? Click to expand... 1. Mac OS is not r…

Hi, I've been toying with the Acard 7720 SCSI/IDE adaptor http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=23&prod_no=AEC-7720U&type1_title=SCSIDE%20Bridge&am…

found an old advertisment for MaxxBoxx they looked great, like iMacs in colors { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous…

Put them on a shrine and admire their awesomeness? Sell one of them, and set the other one up with a fast and large HDD and use it for analog video capture?

Gonna get together and trade a G4 (Sawtooth) for a pair of Quadra 840AVs. Not sure what the specs are, but I went ahead and ordered a video adapter off of We Love Macs to get read…

Images. I may have been a bit generous with the space but it is for the best. Also gives you the option of using a slightly larger notebook in there later if needed. http://i43.t…

Go for 18" deep, 18" wide and 13" high. On the other hand, it only has to be 16" deep if you do not have a yo-yo adapter sitting behind it. Actually, you could have a little hange…

I would not "practice" on a IIx board, they are kind of rare. The IIx was not out very long before the IIfx came out and many of the II and IIx systems were upgraded to IIfx boards…

. . . not the B.S. Apple specs! Their width figure is fine, but if a cable or card needs to stick out the sides that spec is B.S. too! I want to know how high the top of the Lid…

. . . hands down the IIx is a FAR better machine! Back in the day I was shopping for a used Mac II in order to save money. One of the used dealers said I was nuts and that the IIx …

Meh - but it's got the "trickle bug"? It clicks and the keyboard LEDs blink. I can only turn it on by plugging it in and hitting the reset button. I'll look up the procedure for fi…

Excellent news.
