My Quadra 700 does the exact same thing when booting 7.6.1. (Maybe other OSs but I haven't run any others in a long while.) It chimes, starts just enough to turn the CRT LED green,…

btw, quadra 840 went up for sale on ebay, and the quicksilver it taken. if you guys respond and tell me you are from here, feel free to PM me here and I am willing to ship. worldw…

Check the Omaha Craigslist if you are interested, that's all I'm saying.

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

Lolwut? What do you mean it blew up? Pictures?

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here...

Couple nice G4s and a Q840AV. But mine, but I think I know whose they are.

I wonder, but is it possible the system software doesn't have the correct or needed enabler for the CC? Depending on the system software version, was there ever an enabler require…

how did you manage that :?:

Thanks - turned out to be the thermal paste on the CPU. Bought some. Applied it. And then it blew up! So I'm consigning it to the great scrapyard in the sky xx(

Double -o parameters. -o rw,loop

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall. It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

The PRAM battery is definitely NO good. I am going to replace it and see what happens. Thanks.

2nd on the pram battery

I seem to remember some of the Woz editions shipped with ROM 01 boards. It looks like mine certainly did. Also, are there any real hardware differences between ROM 00 and 01 machin…

Is the PRAM battery good? JB

Is the Color Classic 32-bit clean?

Instead, try: Code: $ sudo mount -o rw -t hfs ./hfs24M.DSK /mnt/mac -o loop -o rw sets the disk to be read/write -o ro sets the disk to be read only

If you use Safari, get ClickToFlash (http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/) - it has helped me immensely with the beachballs. Click to expand... Yes, that helps quite a bit…

"Or it could just be that your psu is a little low on one of the lines" - replace the power supply? Click to expand... or rebuild it

I acquired this baby a few weeks ago and it came with a stock CC logic board, 10 Meg of RAM, a 700 MB Qauntum drive, and an Asante PDS LC ethernet card in it. And it came with thi…

I got the same error. Remember that I'm using the Blanks floppy images.

Have you changed the RAM, hard disk or PDS card? Maybe something is drawing a little more power than before. Or it could just be that your psu is a little low on one of the lines.
