If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it. Click to expand... So…

I would have to concur. I KNOW I have that document you are referencing SOMEWHERE in my collection picked up along my career as a performance engineer. Hmm.... IF most drives tha…

I think the WGS may have started with 100, but the one I have is the "speed bump" 110. There is a "technically" faster point with the Radius; the internal SCSI buss is faster than…

Isn't the Radius 81/110 faster than the Powermac/WGS? I thought the Apple machines were only 100mhz.

Probably doable with SwitchResX or similar.

those early Macs use drives that are specific to Macs and you can't use non-Mac drives in them. Yanking the hard drive and scrapping it renders the whole machine useless. Click …

did you even have to write it, I just thought your awesomeness made it plop out on the desktop one day! Click to expand... No, that was lunch. Sorry about the mess.

Goodness!!!!! Does that key hack work on the Quadra 950????? Mine takes forever and a day to start up since it's got the full 256 megs of ram installed. I wish I bought more ram…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

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…

To address JDW and Quadraman's concerns, yes I do replace ALL of the caps or parts documented and suggested for being replaced; I leave no stone unturned. And I return to you all …

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by. Click to expa…

They pretty much are all bad. This has been true in my own experience and one can also come to that conclusion logically when reflecting upon how many years ago the boards were ma…

Just older the caps from trag, de solder them out, solder the new ones in correctly (correct polarization) and BAM. Done.
