Just for completeness sake...when the Kansas/MachV machines came out, Apple kept the nice 8600 and 9600 case and kept the x600 power supply pinout, but changed the motherboard agai…

Nah. I have a Macintosh Plus with a dead battery also, and the only noticeable effect is that the date/time reverts to something like 1/1/1904 at 12:00 am every time I turn it on.…

Ok so I cleaned all the ram and I checked the capacitors and there is just glue. I found out that the clock battery is dead, could that cause it?

Any high end workstation/server class CPU has lots of cache compared to normal desktop/consumer variants. Nothing new there.

Do you have a picture of the card?

. . . Then again I just spent the last 2 days trying to get the full 3 Gig/sec out of our IBM Z10 Mainframe OSA card setup. It can be done, but not without jacking the dispatch…

Yes indeed they are full duplex. The Asante utility that ships with it shows it as well. Asante was always a class act as far as I can remember. Yeah, my standards are pretty hig…

Yeah, cache is so important on those G4s because of the system bus. I notice that POWER7 is strongly emphasizing cache as well, which means that as much as things change they stay …

I have a dual 1.8 GHz (1833 MHz) 7447a Sonnet card in an Xserve with 167 MHz bus and 2 gigs - it'll never see OS 9, but it runs OS X very well. It's actually pushed in excess of 50…

A common problem with Color Classics, especially if the drives have been used in other machines, is the lack of the proper system version or enabler. Color Classics require 7.1 (n…

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 …

I posted this over at PPCMLA, but since we're talking about it here too, I got one of the Sonnet dual 1.8s (1833MHz 7447A) over the weekend. Not cheap. But it sure is zippy! Virtua…

Ok, so in this thread or another one I said I sold my G5 and bought a Mac Mini... I was NOT impressed with the Mini. People said it would run circles around the G5, Somethings it …

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…

Ah thanks, do I need the discharger also?

Hello, I have just received this macintosh SE/30 a few hours ago, and every time I try to turn it on, I get these vertical lines and the start up chime does not sound. Does anyone…

Thanks! I was hoping someone has more info or at least mentions whether it's usefull or not. Otherwise I will pull out all 74FCTxxx/74HCTxx, GAL,PAL and vertical SIL RAM chips (al…

Quick search on Google leads me to believe it's some sort of hardware PostScript RIP.

I will go and fire up the CC-LC550 again tonight in order to see if it will do 640x480 resolution... Click to expand... No, Monitors gives the option of only the regular Macint…
