This is a topic that's been discussed in detail in several different places. The upshot is that the only practical way to do this is to find a complete, small LCD monitor with a VG…
Skip the Bondi then. You can run 10.4 (more than likely) on the Indigo and it'll outperfom the Bondi left and right. Faster CPU, faster system bus, and better graphics. Its also…

I was strolling through Walmart the other day, and happened to notice the 10" LCD picture frames. 800×600 resolution is not bad. Of course, the first thing that pops into my head…

Are you planning on actually using it for anything?

have any clue what voltages the power supply is putting out

Your +12V is bad! We now have a much more narrow set of possible problems.
There is probably a problem with your power supply. Try unplugging the power supply from the logic boar…
Ok I can try this tonight. What do you mean by this though? The black wire?
3. Touch the black probe to a pin of the power supply connector that is connected to a black wire. Ho…

Uh, Bondis were only available as either Rev. A or B.. There was no Bondi Rev. C or D, only Blueberry. Basically, it went like this:
Rev. A and B only got Bondi. As Henry Ford wou…
Yeah, there were indigo and Bondi, and Blueberry. The blueberries were even down to 350mhz without firewire ports, The Bondi's went up to 333mhz (Rev D). I have a Rev A. iMac Bondi…

Ummm...there were CPU upgrades for MDD/Xserve

Are you planning on actually using it for anything? If so, then go for the Indigo simply because its RAM is cheaper and easier to find, faster and a little nicer looking IMO. It'…

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…
Hmmm... That's not going to be easy unless you have an 8100/80 to look at. The multiplier on the 100 and 110 MHz machines is three, so if you change the oscillator to 40 MHz, the C…
Calling all experts...
Has anyone of you ever done this or have any inside info on how to do it?
What I would like to do to the above mentioned machines is:
1. Install 40 MHz os…
How to test the power supply:
1. Turn on the Mac IIfx.
2. Set your volt meter to 20V range DC
3. Touch the black probe to a pin of the power supply connector that is connecte…
