Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #10
The 9500 is possibly the worst of the PCI PowerMac family, owing to case inaccessibility.

Indeed. Getting out the motherboard is a real pain. The plastic is …

Rev A iMac G3 — #20
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/
Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #6
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…

That's cool, but they don't have an m68k version. They don't even have a pre-OS X version that I can see...

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.

9500 startup problems... Now that isn't a surprise.
1. Check the PRAM battery voltage. While it's out, unplug the mains power cable, leave the Mac to rest for 20 minutes, and then…

Now that I think about, and especially since beachycove said it, it DOES sound like SCSI issues. I recall having the exact same issue...and changing SCSI settings around, fixed it.

How many have a Powermac G5? — #5
If it counts, I have an iMac G5, and the last time I bought a real mac was back in 2005. Old iBook G4 that I destroyed, I have never purchased one of my more recent macs.

Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - August 2004. Still running strong 5 years later as my daily Mac.
I don't anticipate needing to upgrade until the release of Mac OS 10.7 -…
Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #5
I think that there is some confusion here.
The early Mac models have ROMs that are in a DIP package. Examples: 128K/512K, 512Ke/Plus, SE and SE FD/HD. Later Macs (SE/30 and IIfx) …

3. Have you tried booting from a floppy or from a CD?

Yes. I put both a floppy and a CD ROM in, and it didn't acknowledge either one of them. This was when i…

Just bought a dual G5 to replace a 700MHz eMac, so obviously I'm far from the bleeding edge... I don't see myself needing to upgrade in the next 3-5 years (unless I get filthy rich…

you also need System 6.0.2 or higher lest the Macintosh II still mistake the high-density drive as an 800kB mechanism.

and are you going to move to Macpro..?
do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...?
How often do you buy Mac's?

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #6
A handful of observations:
1. A 9500 is now old enough to have capacitor failure. Sorry, but it's just possible.
2. I acquired an 8600/300 a few years ago that exhibited the same…

Yeah, as a part of the Mac II FDHD upgrade you do need IIx ROMs. I don't think the SWIM controller will fully function without it, as the Mac II ROMs most likely don't have the rig…

It already had enough good RAM chips in it, since I was able to boot it to OS 7.6 a few months ago. I assume that the CUDA reset is that small button on the motherboard? I pressed …

It probably wasn't a great idea but I don't think it would have done any permanent damage. Have you tried putting in one good (compatible) RAM chip and resetting PRAM and perhaps C…

Yep! That's an MMI drive. You are lucky you got one that was made just right. A lot of them had trouble with excess lubricant on the disk surface spinning to the outside edge where…

I just gave up and got out the 8100/80 instead, thinking that I'd post here the next day (which I've done).
Maybe someone else has a clue. I wonder if putting in the mis-matched R…
