Notes towards that approach can be found here and here

My guess at this point would be a lack of power to the drive. You should be able to hear it do *something*. Click to expand... The drive must be receiving +5V because of the X …

Sorry for the lag, I was away from my workstations this weekend. The second image you posted, Tron, works fine. Here are the numbers: CINEBENCH 2003 v1 **************************…

Right, the Blueberry is finished, with 10.4.11 on a 10gb hard drive and the USB wifi dongle. Taking apart and upgrading etc took far less time than before, just a couple of hours..…

You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.

Dennis, to answer a couple of your questions, yes the drive is auto-inject, but it's not necessarily known working. It was working when it was pulled quite a while ago, but I did n…

If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it. Click to expand... I assume the X appears red because of your unusual monitor setup. In actuality…

If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it. The drive never actually tries to read the disk though (no noise) and I know the disk is good anyway.…

Why does it have two batteries? Click to expand... http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/macIIfxsch.GIF Each battery is 3.6V. I'm not exactly sure from just glancing why t…

It's towards the front center and the speaker is towards front right IIRC. So sort of. No it's a memory board like socket. No clue. I know that unless both are good it won't tu…

Is the ROM card by the speaker? If the ROM is soldered to the board, is it by the batteries? Why does it have two batteries? I am going by 'fuzzy' pictures, so it is hard to tel…

I can't tell from the picture. It could be. I think I saw in one of those articles that a SCSI card would be supported on the Daystar special bus. Click to expand... Looks l…

Glad I bought the 7800GT for my BTO quad then.

Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/w…

Bronze colored keyboard and a white Apple at the top of the LCD. Definitely Lombard. Click to expand... Reckon so, that's what I went on to identify it. Never mind, it's gone n…

Browsing on the 1400 when connecting with an Ethernet card via the PC Card slot is always going to be slow, because it is a 16 bit card cage. I know there is an internal ethernet …

If possible, I'd go for a regular AirPort card and skip the USB dongle. Airport works effortlessly and at least here in the States, they have gotten really cheap over the past yea…

led acid batteries are usually not that picky, but its best to see what the one inside of it is marked as and try to match it up best you can

The trouble with that however is that the required circuitry which adapts the keyboard to run on the ADB bus is built into the logic board. The only hope that you might have is if …

If anybody gets around to mapping the key matrix and ribbon cable, I would be interested. If I am not mistaken, Apple still used ADB protocol in old Duos and PowerBooks, so I would…

I love my PB1400. IMO it is only practical for browsing text-based stuff. It's like my old Performa 6200cd on the web - it was barely acceptable in the late 90s when the net was mo…
