My opinion is two things on what you did.
1. Great listing. I wish we could get access to all the models of this type of data to know what to look out for etc when buying old mach…
Any chance this is a Scsi Termination issue?
Sometimes the termination 5v or whatever it was is screwed, or the diode that sits near the resistor pack on drives equipped with them…
From my experience using the cards to date, the answer is yes. They really are nice cards and the drivers do provide a benefit. I have this odd ball BlueStreak 10/100 by Dayna th…
Does the Asantefast 10/100 offer similar advantages over motherboard ethernet as it does over the more lowly nubus ethernet cards (i.e., full duplex as well as 25-30mbs)?

You need to be more careful. I have been in and out of a 8500 so many times (same with an Q800/840AV) I can get to RAM in a minute if that.If I took a sledgehammer to a 8500 it wou…
Perhaps this has been mentioned before, but I didn't see it in a quick scan. You will find a wealth of information about upgrade possibilities at http://colourclassicfaq.com/

I would love to get a couple Token Ring Nubus cards some day.. I could connect them to the ring with the Shiva gear I have. Yeah, fire up a TSO session over the Token Ring to our …
Except that is a MAJOR hack, requiring significant modification surgery not for the faint of heart.

VideoGamer24385,
When you say, 'there is just glue', what exactly do you mean? Also, do any of the caps appear bulged out or leaking? If so, then I would advise replacing all th…
I cut my hand quite badly the last time I had to install RAM in an 8500. If I were ever going to act out the printer scene from Office Space, it would be with an 8500. No computer …

this sound very cool am guessing 648x480 @ 67hz
was it full screen??
You can avoid the CRT altogether if you're just working on the logic board. You won't need to remove the CRT or the analog board to access it.
I don't normally discharge my CRTs. …

I have a Raius 81/110 (no 8100), that case would damage the sledge! Oddly enough the 6100 seems to be ok and of the same vintage (7100 is mostly metal).
I swear the 8500 and 9500 …

Sure, and Tukwila is the same way. But Power6 and Power7 both really get starved for data quickly if their caches aren't full, and take a bigger penalty than other architectures in…

It's always safest to discharge the monitor before working on a compact Mac. Though you *should* be able to remove and work on the logic board without messing with the CRT. Do so a…
