Why do you think the PDS card does not work? It is made for A/UX only and while it will boot in OS 7.01 (wont work but the machine will boot), newer mac OS versions tend to hang/cr…

Very nice! :O Sounds like a good score....I'd quite happily pay $56 for such a beast.

Most of the Hyperdrives I've seen had MiniScribe mechanisms, which have 2 LEDs on the front panel, green for power OK / ready, and red for activity. Click to expand... Thank yo…

Hi all, picked up a Mac on eBay I've never seen in the flesh before: a Quadra 950, lovely condition and should come up well with a strip down and blast with my air compressor. Co…

I've never delved very deep into an InstaTower before, but I'd imagine that if nothing else, there'd be an amplifier in there, since not only is there a knob on the back for adjust…

subwoofer Click to expand... Something I've wondered about - what, apart from the motherboard, is actually required to run the subwoofer? In other words, can the sub be transp…

lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs wrong the first time around Click to expand... Did they? The architecture was designed to support software patching. Clic…

Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDI…

The IIx has been called a SE/30 stuck in a mac II case. Click to expand... Hm, where did the screen go? Have you noticed how a Mac II case is exactly like the bottom half of t…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine.

Yeah, my 9500's case is pretty much trashed. :-/

There were two MMIs, Microcomputer Memories Inc. (hard disks) and Monolithic Memories Inc. (chips). As the label on your disk says, it was made by MMI in Van Nuys, California, a sm…

The IIx has been called a SE/30 stuck in a mac II case.

My 9500 had the whole back piece fall off because all the plastic holding it to the shell broke off. The 6 case screws are the only things holding the back on now.

how much further can ANY software company go with OS's... I mean really OS's are ment to RUN programs... Look at some people who are still running OS 6 on a mac classic or a SE/30…

Why on Earth they would have soldered the ROMs in place on any machine is beyond me Click to expand... It's cheaper lord knows by that time they had gotten enough ROMs w…

I don't think that's a Hyperdrive 512k but if it is the Hyperdrive is probably still in there - it'd be way more effort to remove one than to leave it in. I have a Plus with a Hyp…

I wanted to use it with my macs :'(

Aren't the Monitor and computer two different sub-systems? When I took apart the iMac there was a DB-15 connector connecting to the iMac Logic Board/ Click to expand... The bui…

The 9500 is possibly the worst of the PCI PowerMac family, owing to case inaccessibility. Click to expand... Indeed. Getting out the motherboard is a real pain. The plastic is …

I think that there is some confusion here....Note the four socketed DIPs next to the SIMM sockets. We can assume that the IIx layout is similar, because the ROMs were sold as an of…

OK, well its in my possession now, looking pretty next to my 512k. Can I use this iMac as a monitor for my 68k/older ppcs? I think I can as it has the DB-15 port for video. Clic…
