SCORE!!! Curb: PM G3 B&W!!! — #6

SCORE!!! Curb: PM G3 B&W!!! — #4

So is that fast? If the Macally keyboard is still there when I am going back I will snag it. And I will strip the iMac as well of the Ram and (Hopefully!) Airport card. If I had a…

Seems like a RevB to me, I'll be able to stuff it with HDs and use it as a file server for my InsanelyWind projects. I can make a 68Kmla account on the FTP part of it if people wa…

Mac Classic corpse — #6

A circuit diagram for the analogue board of the Mac Classic would be a great help in tracing voltages. I can find one for the Mac SE on the web but not the Classic. Any suggestion…

The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated. The same thing happens to Power Macintosh 6500 CPU fans, and the really small fans on certain ATI Vide…

Interest in PCI Powermacs? — #6

Interest in PCI Powermacs? — #1

Why the unusual frequency? — #21

The logic board has circuitry that divides the clock signal in half. I would need to supply a 16MHz clock to the logic board in order to run the processor at 8 MHz.
