Ive been on close contact with Houlton, who rebuilds and sells Portables on ebay. I have purchased a brand-new rebuilt battery last year, and the portable remains plugged in 24/7 a…

When swap my stock SE/30 or the IIfx ROM sim in, both work fine. Click to expand... Von I really hate to say it, but such is strong evidence that: (1) You have a bad IIsi ROM, …

Yeah I posted up in the TAM thread too - what can I say, I'm pretty excited and it's still weeks away! Secondly the 7600/G4 should be good fun to play around with.

I read about the TAM over on MacTalk...very cool! Good score on the 7600 too, apart from the 80MB HDD, it sounds like a nice machine, especially for free.

Isn't 2GB the max file size on HFS, not the max volume size? Power Macs certainly came with >2 GB hard disks before Mac OS 8.1 was released. Click to expand... In my exp…

I think a better idea would be removing/unplugging the hard drive, all of the memory, any installed cards, etc. and just try to boot the Macintosh SE/30 with the bare motherboard a…

Been inactive a little while on the forums, but added two items just recently to my conquest list. Was lucky enough to pick up a PowerMac 7600/200 with a Sonnet G4-400MHz processo…

Dual-floppy LCs were rare. I only saw one batch of them in the field when they were in service (they were in a school library). I believe Apple also sold LCs and LCIIs with only on…

Lead never leaves your body. So don't eat the solder. Click to expand... I'm not sure what to make of the "don't eat the solder" quip as such is obvious for any of us adults re…

Ok, PM

Umm.. I don't remember any 2gb limit on HFS. Click to expand... You may be thinking of HFS+. A hint is the range of a signed 32 bit number.

hi, I have a 68040 -25 and 68040 -33

Don't use lead-free solder - it requires a much higher temperature, is hard to work with, and is simply not as good as tin lead solder. Use the REAL STUFF, nothing beats it.

Hello! I'm upgrading my performa 630 (now have 136mb ram), and i'm looking for a full 68040 chip (with FPU), anyone knows where to get this cheap chips? (no ebay please) Thanks!, s…

Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 m…

Umm.. I don't remember any 2gb limit on HFS. I remeber that the custer sizes were huge after 2gb's, but there is no limit, and I have a quadra 630 sitting right here(need to put it…

As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not a limit you will reach anytime soon. Click to expand... You mean apart from the 2Gig partition limit of HFS?

I love the 6100 series, strangely thou I never liked them when they came out. The 7100 series I never really liked simply because of the IIvx case design it used. I always found th…
