I posted this over at PPCMLA, but since we're talking about it here too, I got one of the Sonnet dual 1.8s (1833MHz 7447A) over the weekend. Not cheap. But it sure is zippy! Virtua…

i just changed my scis chip and will test it tonite..will it work 8-o

Ok, so in this thread or another one I said I sold my G5 and bought a Mac Mini... I was NOT impressed with the Mini. People said it would run circles around the G5, Somethings it …

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 hi…

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…

Ah thanks, do I need the discharger also?

Hello, I have just received this macintosh SE/30 a few hours ago, and every time I try to turn it on, I get these vertical lines and the start up chime does not sound. Does anyone…

Thanks! I was hoping someone has more info or at least mentions whether it's usefull or not. Otherwise I will pull out all 74FCTxxx/74HCTxx, GAL,PAL and vertical SIL RAM chips (al…

Quick search on Google leads me to believe it's some sort of hardware PostScript RIP.

I will go and fire up the CC-LC550 again tonight in order to see if it will do 640x480 resolution... Click to expand... No, Monitors gives the option of only the regular Macint…

Whoops, you're right; I meant an 8600. I get that and the 9500/9600 confused a lot. Even then, the 8600's logic board is a slightly different shape, and some of the connectors go a…

I happened to pick up a 9500 at a garage sale a while back, and find its design refreshingly easy to deal with. You just pop open the side panel, and you have access to the full mo…

... My Macintosh TV logic board will drive the Color Classic at 648x480, without any special extensions, software or hardware hacks with any supported OS. Click to expand... No…

Personally, if it were me doing it, I'd just remove the Colour Classic analog board and use one from an LC575 Click to expand... How hard is that to do, though? Click to exp…

Anyone know what this is? It is a Nubus board and I only know that It came from some publishing house.

I am looking for a PRAM battery for my 3400c, where did you find those $12 batteries? I really could use a link to it. Mind you, I am in the USA, so it would have to be either c…

I think the 10/100 cards are full duplex (send and recieve at the same time), so in server use they will be much faster then the old 10mb ones.

I am not usually one to preach about static, but it is winter time for most of us, and that stuff does fly around the air and seconded on you could hook back up the board before p…

Yes, plan on RAM replacement being a 2+-hour affair. Some additions to the notes: - Use a grounded wrist strap, or try to keep one hand on something grounded, like the power suppl…

Personally, if it were me doing it, I'd just remove the Colour Classic analog board and use one from an LC575 - chances are you're probably stripping an LC575 for its logic board a…

And I vote once more from my own personal experience with this stupid case design that the 8500 gets a Road Apple award for user friendliness! Make sure you make your ram selectio…

You'll love that Asante 10/100 card. I got extremely lucky about 5 years ago on ebay and bought like 10 of them for about a dollar a piece plus 25 shipping. I've got one in nearl…

The fastest OS 9 booting machines were the dual 1.25GHz 2002 FW400 MDD, or the "reissue" 2003 FW400 single 1.25GHz MDD Click to expand... What are the exact differences between t…

As Osgeld said, you have to remove the motherboard. From memory, the procedure to remove the motherboard goes something like this: - Shut down, unplug and open the machine - Remo…
