Why the 10MiB ceiling in a Classic II? — #2
It's not a SIMM-size limit; it's a limit of the logic board's memory controller. The Color Classic, for example, comes with 4MB RAM soldered onto the logic board, and it has two SI…
Looking at a PowerBook 1400 — #11
I now have five of these little gems; paid less than $50 for each. Great keyboards and very very robust. My latest one was used in a school - it's more beat up than my other ones, …

As you are probably aware, ASP tells you which ROM is installed:
$77D.40F2 revision A
$77D.45F1 revision B
$77D.45F2 revision C.
Somewhere (but which where escapes me) is an (i…

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…
Why the 10MiB ceiling in a Classic II? — #1
Hi all,
The various threads here about 128MiB 72-pin SIMMs working in certain machines that were never intended to use them got me thinking. What, precisely, about the Classic II …

do you have the latest powerlogix software? Mine lets me go higher than that chip is rated for, so I don't see why it wouldn't do that with a 900 too.

Thought I might post the machine I have the parts, but not the time to build -
CPU - 900 MHz Powerlogix CPU - We were going to try to overclock this to 1000

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #6
This program and driver allow custom resolutions using built-in video on a PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 8600. I have used it to get perfect 1920x1080 on an LCD for over a m…

somebody already laid claim to it, but I do have another B&W G3 with similiar specs and I wasn't 100% on if he wants the monitor or not. So depending on that you could take…

Mac Classic corpse — #3
When I switch on absolutely nothing happens, no sign of anything working. That's why I checked that the mains voltage could be seen on the inside of the switch. Hence the word 'co…
cube hard drive issues — #10
Take the VRM (DC-DC board) out and clean the contacts. While it's out, look for evidence of overheating. If anything looks scorched, you probably should replace it. Check the rest …
cube hard drive issues — #9
The spin up/spin down issues you are experiencing suggest a flaky DC board; check the CubeOwner forums for more information on this. While you're at it, check the PRAM battery and…
Why the unusual frequency? — #18
In 1985 Steve Beck wanted to be able to project a Mac's video with a standard TV projector. I built up a bunch of dual ported VRAM (parallel I/O and built-in shift register) with a…
cube hard drive issues — #8
Some newer hard drives are low power 5900 RPM drives. I've started buying only LP because the power consumption is about 1/3 of a typical 7200 RPM drive they're replacing. For inst…

Propeller God? :lol: No. I've done one project with the Prop, a temperature controller for a reptile enclosure. It used a 4x20 character LCD and I had to write the driver for tha…
Why the unusual frequency? — #16
Just again out of curiosity, what other projects have you done with a propeller? It doesn't look like it's actually *that* trivial to add high-speed external RAM to one. (Unless I'…
