Yeah, I am familliar with BeBits ( Although, haikuware is news to me). "Back in the day" I used to use BeOS as my daily operating system (Sadly not on a BeBox *tear* ). Haiku is go…

So, I ended up installing Haiku Alpha 1 on it, works good, but its only temporary ( I will not use wondows for the life of me) Click to expand... I had Haiku on my Eee for a bi…

The failure to power up may be caused by corrupt NVRAM brought on by a flat battery, as the earlier posters suggest. However, the crashing you experienced is probably a heat sink…

Would anyone be willing to work on cap replacement on Mac Plus analog boards? If not I may just have to teach myself how to fix these things and start a service of my own. I love…

Ah that sucks that Rhapsody probably won't work :-( Also, agg23 I am already a member of that forum, my username there is macusr

Speaking of Rhapsody, myself and a few other people are working on a free Rhapsody OS. We also have support forums for Rhapsody as well (Apple's versions). We haven't achieved mu…

Just to warn you, Rhapsody is *VERY* picky with its hardware. Your board uses a VIA chipset, so likely will not work with Rhapsody. (Rhapsody officially dropped Intel support bef…

Update: My daughter LOVES Math Rabbit. I think I'll have to find some other vintage age-appropriate games for her. Maybe I'll get her started on LOGO Turtle, and get her programm…

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises.

For $40 CAD I got a Pentium 3 850MHz, 256MB ram, and 20GB HD, with a 17" viewsonic flat CRT monitor. I am going to install Linux on this beast, or Rhapsody. Pictures: http://yfro…

and get rid of that damn color classic board lol Click to expand... Just my opinion, but I reckon it would be a good idea to keep the original board in case you ever decide to…

It's actually a good idea to wait several more days. There is a good chance that while it may seem dry, it may not actually be really dry.

I finally cleaned my IIci motherboard. I used a large diameter bucket with Alconox detergent mixed with warm water. It really brightened things up. It worked so well actually th…

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models? Click to expand... Th…

You've got a PM

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models?

This is very good news because I just bought a 128mb 72pin simm module. I bought an entire LC 550 machine today, so I can pull the board out of that when I receive it, put that int…

I'm fairly sure the guts of the 575 and 550 (apart from the logic board of course) are pretty much identical. The displays are the same (which is the most important factor), so it …

I've used a steel ruler to slide into a slot and then firmly push it up to slide up the tab, you need to remove the battery to take the top and bottom half of the casing apart. Ho…

You can find the drivers here on Newertech's legacy support software page: http://www.newertech.com/tech_support/support_legacy.php ... download NuPowr Cache 1.2 and NuPowr Syste…

I've got a dead PB100 that's been sitting in my closet for some time. The battery refuses to budge when I try to move it (the door won't move at all). Any tips for successful remov…

NVM I got an 550 board Now will a 575 board work in a 550? Also does the 575 and 550 use the same type of ram?

Know anyone selling an LC 550 board?

You have done one of the following, I trust: 1. Video hack to allow CC video operation in 640x480, which the replacement logic board demands (which I do not recommend as it effect…
