It wasn't necessarily a matter of functionality, since I already have a 512k, 512ke, and 3 Pluses. It was more for getting something I didn't already have. This 512k does have a SC…

I started scraping away the coating using a putty knife. Seems to work pretty well, although I will have to finish it up with sandpaper. Will post results when I finish.

That's still a steal. Click to expand... Definitely... the carrying case alone, would have been worth driving 2 miles out of my way. It's not the typical Apple carrying case...…

No biggie; I'd rather have a 512k, anyway. They're more useful; more software will run on it.

Great epic find.

If you look in the SuperDuo thread in Hacks, I link to an ebay store with bare LCD panels of various sizes and costs, and he says he'll throw in a VGA converter board for $30 with …

hell even early G3s have trouble decoding DVDs. Click to expand... Add a Wired4DVD card and even a PPC601 or PPC604 can play DVDs well. It's a PCI card though, so no help for…

Yeah, the guy running Daystar Technology (Brian, I think?) is a swell guy. He's kept some excellent hardware on the market and brought some new stuff out that I never expected to …

That's still a steal.

Quadraman's already conquered (conquested?) a SCSI DVD-RAM. He's asking how to use it with a Quadra. Now I may be entirely wrong about this, but my impression was that if you for…

Well, I just picked it up this morning... took it into work... opened the nice carrying case... and the back says 512k. Sigh. I'll have to open it up and take a peek at the guts, b…

You can use an IDE DVD ROM and a IDE to SCSI converter.

scsi dvd roms are out there and fairly plentiful, just expensive!

Well if I'm correct, the Daystar Technology of today is a very different company to the Daystar Digital of the 80's and 90's. I'd be surprised if anyone currently at Daystar Techno…

Running OS 8.1, with the Apple CD/DVD Driver, a DVD-ROM drive certainly can be used for data storage. Obviously, on a machine so old, you can forget about watching DVD-Video discs,…

it is defiantly VGA, it works fine with all the computers i have attached it to, mac and pc. Click to expand... That's terrific -- you are very lucky!

Interesting that the Shading numbers vary that much from run to run. I'll run it a few more times when I get a spare moment.

Why not go to the Daystar website and ask them your question directly?

Only the SE and SE/30 cases have flat front bezels. All the rest are curved left to right.

And to answer another question, the inner surface of a compact mac's crt bezel is not all in one plane, unfortunately, so mechanical hacking is needed, too. Click to expand... …

I'm surprised that it is a VGA monitor (and by "VGA" I don't mean simply its resolution, I mean the VGA interface as well). The car-TV monitors I've run into have composite or S-vi…

They should use the same power supply. The II to IIfx upgrade was a motherboard replacement.

whatever the answer is don't toss the original, its issue could just be a leaky cap or burned out regulator, which can be pretty easily repaired by someone trained and safe while w…

I have an lcd, approximately 8 inch VGA monitor (originally a car tv, but it does work as a monitor) it was given to me by one of my friend's dad, and it displays an 800x600 resolu…
