I have a dead 500mhz Sawtooth. It has been sitting for awhile down in the basement. It quit one day , after a few attempts to revive it, it went to the basement. A motherboard f…

I have a 22" 1680x1050 LCD monitor hooked up to my B&W G3 that has been chugging along fine at that resolution for quite a while now. All of a sudden, after a fresh reboot …

We've got similar mac collecting tastes, I see...I have 6 PB 1400s, 2 5300s, one Pismo 400/40/512k, 2 old PB 150s, a Classic II, the on life support 3400...and several PCs too, ala…

Not particularly serious. The bus speed is the same, so no fiddling with SMT resistors/jumpers. From memory, the VRM coil has to be bent out of the way, and an adapter plate made…

Well, that got my attention. Can a dual G54/500MHz processor go in a Cube without serious surgery?

Interesting...pooh, I hope it's not the VRAM but we shall see. If it's a dead duck, I'll repost...get the parts somewhere useful. I expect this is a 180mhz. because it's only comi…

Yes, it was AU$5 +pp. I'll get around to uploading them sometime soon

I have a PB 3400c with the same issue. The screen generally will not light up but when it does, the screen is all messed, then the unit crashes. The cable and everything in the …

Below is the last few weeks of scores from evilbay. In addition to these, when I went to pick up some of the items from a local seller, I also bought the following: Quadra 700, m…

I'm getting a Hooper (PB 3400c) in a couple of days - decided to try my hand at restoring one, since I've done a lot of work on 5300's. The one I bought (for $2 plus shipping) has …

I enjoyed your lengthy post about the history of/ your history with the machine, which mirrors my own experience (including references to some of the subsequent hardware purchased,…

My RCWW10 page is up. http://conceitedjerk.tripod.com/retro10.html

My understanding is that water was used in the factory for cleaning the boards after assembly, and so that it has to be reasonably safe to use water still. Most likely there will b…

I've decided how I am going to clean the motherboard. I'm going to use Alconox. From their website: (Notice it mentions circuit boards!) http://www.alconox.com/static/section_to…

Actually, the tray loading iMacs required a minimum of PC66 too, exactly the same as the clamshell iBook. It was the slot-load iMacs that required PC100. So yeah, any RAM from you…

Did the 1.42s come as FW400? I've only seen the 1.25s as FW400, though I imagine you could just get the 1.42 out of one of the FW800s and bolt it in. Click to expand... In my c…

My setup works fine on that B&W, I have a Radeon video card in the 66mhz PCI slot (the model with the fan before they started naming them 7000 and took out T&L). I …

It's not too much of a worry, I have the hard disk on a sled at the moment that just snaps right into the Power Mac G3, and when I want to do the transfer, I power the system down,…

home.ripway.com is timing out when I try to download the driver. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks, Mike

OK, here is the promised story: I purchased my first Mac, a IIci in November 1990. I had been using IBM PCs (XTs and ATs) for the 5 years prior that I spent as a student at The O…
