The hot coin is the only method I could do right now due to lack of tools. But I just don't think it would be the safest as you would be applying a huge amount of heat immediately …

Nice little trio you got there. Not having owned a IIfx, I think that might be the best machine. Sure the 7600 is more powerful but the IIfx holds a special place in a lot our mem…

If I post it to .me zipped, will that work? Click to expand... God bless you sir! The Mac II family was designed by Jean-Louis Gassee to exude power and "Make your nippl…

In fact I have a perfectly functional serial MacBottom for use with a 128K, but cannot find a copy of the driver software anywhere. Click to expand... I'll look see what I've g…

a toaster oven with a device controlling the thermal curve would be the best, and closest to the factory, a hot coin is not going to do anything, a can of burning whatver is just g…

Seems the shim method isn't the best. Works for a while then dies. I've been reading plenty of weird and wonderful re-flowing techniques involving heatguns, burning alcohol in met…

the heat gun would work as long as you keep in mind thermal stresses, and dont heat up or cool down anything super quick. Also its going to have to be a fairly stout heat gun, I tr…

I got the 500 to boot off a iMac install CD (my iBook only came with 10.2 install CDs) so it seems in ok shape apart from the hard disk. As for the 800, I read about applying heat…

Testing will follow later, after I blow the dust hippos outta' that FILTHY POS! Click to expand... Did I say dust hippos? Definitely LARGER than THAT! I've NEVER seen such a MASS…

Like Flash and Real Audio and VideoWorks, the player program was free. The movie encoder program was for sale. So the MacMovies on a BMUG disk won't make a movie, but will play bac…

Actually, the Hardware Test CD is booting now on the 500. I got a bit muddled and was actually using the AppleCare TechTool CD instead (it's been a long day :I ) . I think it mig…

Hi trag, yes you remember right, but why anybody'd want to add ROM code to a 25-year old Mac is beyond me. In the day, we needed to add code to init our SCSI port and support the …

Sounds like the 800mhz is a lost cause. Definitely has the logic board graphic chip problem. I would personally concentrate your work on the 500mhz which has what seems to be a m…

a MacMovies movie player distributed on the BMUG disks, some of which I have and will look through. With any luck it will take standard MacPaint files for use as frames. Sound rema…

I rescued 2 iBooks (dual-usb) today. The first is a 500Mhz one that boots into OF with DEFAULT CATCH! code=300 at %SRR0: 0d005468 %SRR1: 40003030 mac-boot will then lead to DEFA…

but its not 1984 any more ... and yes I have been reading this thread, and video works uses a propitiatory format, so good luck figuring that one out! One would need to write a pl…

Nope, but I'm thinking that I could share the single cable/interface between the $5 NuBus one I got offered. He's also selling extras (whole boxed cards) for $25.

Is it Nubus?

So if you drop a 292 CPU into a PDQ, you get the 83MHz bus and the better video? Or would there be other components in the 66MHz models that choke on the higher bus speed? I gues…
