I had this exact problem not but a month ago. Something about this particular iMac i guess. Nothing I did worked. I tried every trick I could find: booting from various install …

Compatible 512 MB modules must have a total of 16 chips, 8 on each side.

Oh man, I meant to say AdoptAMac.com was the site. Not We Love macs. Forgive me, I dunno where I got that from. EDIT: I meant to also say that I was getting the 840avs from Chri…

Keep one as the parts machine. We Love Macs was cheaper? Thats..... weird. (we need a raised eyebrow emotican) Click to expand... actually, since the adapter would do greater …

"der PoewrMAClone in der Box" - I like that

Am I OK to assume that my problem is there and that this computer won't see more than 2GB anytime soon, not even multiple 2 GB partitions? Click to expand... 1. Mac OS is not r…

Hi, I've been toying with the Acard 7720 SCSI/IDE adaptor http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=23&prod_no=AEC-7720U&type1_title=SCSIDE%20Bridge&am…

found an old advertisment for MaxxBoxx they looked great, like iMacs in colors { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous…

Apologies ahead of time for my ignorance on the details of which models are affected by what I'm about to say, but... ... isn't there some issue with some PPC Macs not liking the …

Could it be an issue with the CAS latency of the RAM? I know some Macs from that generation are rather fussy, and prefer 2-2-2 RAM.

Put them on a shrine and admire their awesomeness? Sell one of them, and set the other one up with a fast and large HDD and use it for analog video capture?

Gonna get together and trade a G4 (Sawtooth) for a pair of Quadra 840AVs. Not sure what the specs are, but I went ahead and ordered a video adapter off of We Love Macs to get read…

I would not "practice" on a IIx board, they are kind of rare. The IIx was not out very long before the IIfx came out and many of the II and IIx systems were upgraded to IIfx boards…

. . . hands down the IIx is a FAR better machine! Back in the day I was shopping for a used Mac II in order to save money. One of the used dealers said I was nuts and that the IIx …

Meh - but it's got the "trickle bug"? It clicks and the keyboard LEDs blink. I can only turn it on by plugging it in and hitting the reset button. I'll look up the procedure for fi…

Excellent news.

Never used one. Although I wouldn't mind a Genesis or MaxBoxx if it came my way. I am in the process of slimming down my collection, so adding new machines would be counter produ…

So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running. However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM. According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB. I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…

It's alive! I unplugged and replugged it one more time, hit both reset buttons in front, now it's at the "?" prompt - of course, there are no drives installed. Let's reinstall the …

The left side of the power supply is a little warm, and there is a very slight "electric" smell. Click to expand... Unless it's burning. I would take everything apart, then…

Well, I guess it's been plugged in an hour, maybe a little more. The only thing installed is the power supply and ram. Still nothing. The left side of the power supply is a little…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it? Click to expand... Say an hour? The idea is to make sure the circuitry that…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it?

You can do that I guess, I would just solder in replacement batteries (the leads are fairly long so you will not heat up the battery much unless you are using a blowtorch. I think…
