MacGeek: Thanks! But I have a server. When I get back to NYC I'll image em.

Thanks for the info.Here are the floppies that came with it. I will make images of them. "Macintosh Basics" Says "Start up from this disc" "Apple Network product installer" "Mac…

If you want to try replacing the PAV board, I've got a good one here that would go pretty cheaply. Shipping to Australia would be steep though.

Why don't you try to fix it? The iMac are very easy to fix. Do you have an idea of what is wrong with it? Don't scrap it, it may just be the PAV board.

Nah, they were all grey bits, there was one bit of black plastic, still, I'm happy to have pulled the RAM out of it, 2x256MB sticks, wow. Dunno what to do with the rest of it. iM…

Makes me sad to look at my Classic 2.

Printers suck. I feel like blowtorching mine.

I finally got around to tearing down the old Macintosh 512k to see what the problem is. Visually the electronics appeared fine, so it looks like I need your help, 68kMLA. It has t…

G'day Mars, Yeah, it won't power on at all and gives off a warm plastic smell, so you're probably right as to the reason for it's deadness. Bits of brittle plastic dropped out of…

Check the speaker connections/try swapping the speaker units around. If there is no change, everything might be due for a cap replacement. trag sells complete IIci kits though.

The Bernoulii wasn't really all that rare and was actually a slightly better technology than Syquest's. Click to expand... Yeah - I've got the 2nd edition of Macs for Dummies, …

I think we should keep the conquests to just 68K and early PPC macs and related gear. Do you realy want me to post all the offtopic stuff I grab (I could flood this forum easy)? …

Hey, it wasn't my decision. :-/ I was just trying to say that THE RULES might judge this as not following the conquest rules. I'm not the 68kmla deputy. I don't want you to tak…
