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…

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…

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…

Ok got some testing done, not good news.
1. AfterMAc's drive is good (tested on my SE), but the IIfx just gives me a disk with an X when I plug it in and try to boot from a disk (…

I think it would be more interesting to convert it to USB (same thing, just new chip which can be found pretty much everywhere)
