I just swapped in a 6500/250 in my 6360 a few years back. Makes one heck of a "bookshelf server," replacing my old SE/30. The Apple TV card + remote was just an added bonus!

The AppleColor monitor for the IIgs does not have distinctly separate scan lines.

I seem to remember the old Apple monitors having visibly separated scan lines. Can anyone confirm? The thrust of my question is to determine if A2like or Apple2Forever is a bette…

Yes, the IIsi is also a great machine. I rescued mine from being scrapped at recycling event. It has been a great machine. Click to expand... Nice save! Mine wasn't quite as fr…

The links I found seem to indicate you can run it from inside an emulated Apple, if it can access the serial ports. Maybe a IIe PDS card even? BTW, you've inspired me to do somet…

yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where i…

I had an old pc case fan in my 350MHz iMac G3. I pulled off the connector and stuck the two wires into the positive and negative of the hard drive power plug and just jammed the th…

Datasheet for the M5M27C101JK is here:http://www.io.com/~trag/DataSheet I thought I had it on my archive drive. I have a last modified date of 2003 on it. I think we're coveri…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…

Alright. Found an Adaptec 39160 at work and will give this a try.

You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…

I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first. JB

I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…

I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me. Click to expand... Did it say "boo!" Click to exp…

At least temporarily. Acard has flash update programs for Mac OS 9 (maybe 8.6, too), but not for OS X. However, the program to update the SATA-SCSI devices is apparently Windows on…

Ok I just had a look at the SE/30 manual: http://www.macheaven.net/MH_Manuals/macintosh_se30.pdf If you look at page 66 you can see that to get to the last screw on the right you …

Hmm. That means I'm going to need a SCSI card for my Windows box? Is that how the firmware update is done?

hi all-as you may have become aware, i recently got a new(ish) iMac g3. however, it gets HOT! i did some research and found out it's cooled via convection, which seems unhealthy. i…

One of the things i added to my souped up PowerMac 7300 was a SCSI card and an LVD hard drive, Seagate 80GB@ 10,000RPM . Now this drive takes a bit longer then its original HDD to …
