You can avoid the CRT altogether if you're just working on the logic board. You won't need to remove the CRT or the analog board to access it. I don't normally discharge my CRTs. …

I have a Raius 81/110 (no 8100), that case would damage the sledge! Oddly enough the 6100 seems to be ok and of the same vintage (7100 is mostly metal). I swear the 8500 and 9500 …

You need to be more careful. I have been in and out of a 8500 so many times (same with an Q800/840AV) I can get to RAM in a minute if that.If I took a sledgehammer to a 8500 it wou…

I cut my hand quite badly the last time I had to install RAM in an 8500. If I were ever going to act out the printer scene from Office Space, it would be with an 8500. No computer …

Sure, and Tukwila is the same way. But Power6 and Power7 both really get starved for data quickly if their caches aren't full, and take a bigger penalty than other architectures in…

It's always safest to discharge the monitor before working on a compact Mac. Though you *should* be able to remove and work on the logic board without messing with the CRT. Do so a…

Just for completeness sake...when the Kansas/MachV machines came out, Apple kept the nice 8600 and 9600 case and kept the x600 power supply pinout, but changed the motherboard agai…

Nah. I have a Macintosh Plus with a dead battery also, and the only noticeable effect is that the date/time reverts to something like 1/1/1904 at 12:00 am every time I turn it on.…

Ok so I cleaned all the ram and I checked the capacitors and there is just glue. I found out that the clock battery is dead, could that cause it?

Do you have a picture of the card?

. . . Then again I just spent the last 2 days trying to get the full 3 Gig/sec out of our IBM Z10 Mainframe OSA card setup. It can be done, but not without jacking the dispatch…

Yes indeed they are full duplex. The Asante utility that ships with it shows it as well. Asante was always a class act as far as I can remember. Yeah, my standards are pretty hig…

Yeah, cache is so important on those G4s because of the system bus. I notice that POWER7 is strongly emphasizing cache as well, which means that as much as things change they stay …

I have a dual 1.8 GHz (1833 MHz) 7447a Sonnet card in an Xserve with 167 MHz bus and 2 gigs - it'll never see OS 9, but it runs OS X very well. It's actually pushed in excess of 50…

A common problem with Color Classics, especially if the drives have been used in other machines, is the lack of the proper system version or enabler. Color Classics require 7.1 (n…
