Nice find! I have 2 B&Ws but only one is in working order (I stripped the other one for the most part). They really are great computers, especially for free, I got mine at …
Man, the B&W sure has come a long way over the past several years. Back in 03 I paid $400 for my first B&W and that was a pretty good deal (for a 400MHz model). I…
While I can say I found it, I can't say I own it. *sniff*
I saw this gem on eBay a few weeks ago. If I had $1500 to burn, I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. So I did t…

Porter's suggestion looks like the best yet. Gives you more cycles inbetween sampling to do other stuff. Not that you probably need them with 8 cores onboard.
Does the Prop gene…
Can the propeller work from a 62.6688Mhz clock? If so it's sampling can synchronised with the mac's pixel clock at four times.
Alternatively, can it not use a 78.336Mhz clock? So …
I can. The issue is the strange frequency. Most microcontrollers and processors are made today to use a evenly divisible clock frequency. I want to use the Propeller because it hav…
I still don't understand why you simply can't source the clock off the Mac motherboard. If you don't want to solder to it use an alligator clip. I'm sure there's somewhere you can …

Can't say I ever seen a complete computer out on trash day (there are people with trucks who roam around looking for things to fix/resell around here), but they do tend to end up o…

The RTClock / calendar / PRAM chip has its own 32KHz crystal. Everything else runs off the "16MHz" clock. If you don't care about serial baud rates, floppy read / write, or video s…
Yeah, I know! I am excited, with the release of Snow Leopard we'll be seeing all kind of curb things. Some day PowerMac G5s!
But this machine is the cutoff for newworld machines …
The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated.

A year later it started up again so I just lubricated it myself.
Anyway... lubricate the eMac fan, …

It has no other inputs though, it just is piggybacked onto the ATI 16MB Card. So now I am home and am going to power it up. I'll take a pic of the card for you.
The classic/II seem to be difficult to find info on. When I was killing mine I could not find too much info.
