I wouldn't be able to turn it into anything server-y as my isp has 1 ip for _everyone_ on each tower, so no incoming connections. Click to expand... Tower? You mean on each wir…

The PCI Power Mac era is by far my favorite!

For the record, I absolutely love my 6500/225 - it's a great computer

Looking at the Mac drive pinouts I just Googled there's a pin labeled "PWM" which says "Motor speed control". If you can find documentation as exactly what sort of signal is presen…

True. I actually used a PM9500 affectionately named stoplock as a server box for quite a while. Stoplock is now with Dog Cow; iirc it doesnt want to bootup . I've moved on a far …

For those interested my notes so far. I think I am going to go buy a printer, because I hate reading on the computer. Can't scribble notes on the pages that way. :-D Click to e…

Well, NetBSD would be great with a huge-huge-huge caveat, at least for me. You need to have a real pci video card, ATi or NVidia. The on-board video is insufficient, as well as the…

Hmmm. I have iStat running on both the DP MDD (1.42) and the Intel iMac. The MDD shows a CPU temp of 73125f (no decimal point); there's either a problem with the installation or …

Oops I meant 60 degrees Celsius. You're running at 51.6 degrees Celsius. You're fine.

I've done some embedded systems work before. In college my senor project was a 4'x2' display that showed the internal data flow of the pipe line of a MIPS process. I designed the …

The power supply won't have issues unless you have an ADC display. The trickle power for the power button on it heats up the power supply but if the unit is off, the fans don't spi…

I found a 3300pf, 2kv capacitor at a component shop near my house. I soldered it on and it looks great. Only 1/4" black border now. Here's a screen shot, and I'll upload a pictu…

Aww. That's a bit of a bummer. Hm.. What else? Can't really think of anything other than putting old games and stuff on it and trying to find a place for it.

do you have an oscilloscope? Click to expand... Yes I do, but is one of those cheap Radio Shack Scope Pens. I think it only goes to 2MHz, but that should work for this. I thin…
