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.

Never used one. Although I wouldn't mind a Genesis or MaxBoxx if it came my way. I am in the process of slimming down my collection, so adding new machines would be counter produ…

It's alive! I unplugged and replugged it one more time, hit both reset buttons in front, now it's at the "?" prompt - of course, there are no drives installed. Let's reinstall the …

The left side of the power supply is a little warm, and there is a very slight "electric" smell. Click to expand... Unless it's burning. I would take everything apart, then…

Well, I guess it's been plugged in an hour, maybe a little more. The only thing installed is the power supply and ram. Still nothing. The left side of the power supply is a little…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it? Click to expand... Say an hour? The idea is to make sure the circuitry that…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it?

You can do that I guess, I would just solder in replacement batteries (the leads are fairly long so you will not heat up the battery much unless you are using a blowtorch. I think…

Is there a clicking noise? Any signs of capacitors leaking? Swap power supplies between units.

Have you left them for a while connected to the mains to power on? Have you tried the keyboard poweron button? Have you disconnected floppies and hard disks?
