The thing is, though, that if nested quotes is the issue, how is someone supposed to easily follow the flow of the conversation? If I quote a message that replies to a prior messag…

Imminent Faliure of Mystic psu? — #2
sounds like the fan, so yea try blowing it out, and worst case you can replace the fan fairly easily
Imminent Faliure of Mystic psu? — #1
Today, my Mystic G4's power supply started making an out-of-the-ordinary noise instead of the typical. With the unusual noise, the case slightly vibrates as well. I could tell it w…

I've seen stock 512k boards for as low as $50 so for all the work of socketing the chips on a 128k board plus the cost of the sockets and new chips it's better just to buy the whol…

I've ignored the war room discussion about this issue, so I was just as surprised as anyone else. That being said, I didn't have any problem at all quoting something for context in…

and a lot more work!
I would definitely put a socket in for any chip I removed, but it's a big job to do it unnecessarily for all of them, and might cause more problems than it's …

Most EDO will work, but it's not used on any of the x500 or x600 motherboards from Apple.
The reason that the speed matters is that there were plenty of models which drove the mem…

You might as well remove all the chips and put in some good sockets. You can then choose between having 128k of memory with 64k x 1 chips or 512k with 256k x 1. It was a common upg…

As for finding replacement chips, it's hard to say. There might be a chip usable for this on http://www.arcadecomponents.com/memory.html, but I don't know enough to say much on tha…

That sounds like a safe bet according to my book (MacWEEK Upgrading and repairing your mac). The tables are a little hard to decipher, but i'm guessing it's a class code 4 (Memory …

The error code theoretically tells you exactly which chips to replace. I don't have the codes handy at the moment but they can be found almost anywhere on the net. I've checked out…
MIDI performance on a Macintosh Classic, good? — #9
Good point Bunsen. There was some software that allowed one to use both serial ports. This is exactly why the PowerBook 100 had a modem port replacement serial port, as many musici…

Thanks for the reply. The information I can find says that the 8600/9600 can use either EDO or FPM, but the Kansas MB's needed 60NS sticks. Of the two 8600's here, the 8600/200 h…

So I replaced the power board in my 128k and I am now getting Sad Mac 040002 at bootup. From what I can gather there is some bad memory on the motherboard that causes this. Does an…

The Midibox sequencer's response time is measured in nanoseconds. Of course, as you point out, MIDI is a serial protocol and very low bandwidth, so there is a limit to the timing …
Trouble booting blue & white g3 — #4
If you start up while holding Option-Apple-O-F, can you get back to the Open Firmware prompt?
Another thing to try is a verbose boot - hold down V (or Apple-V) during startup. It…

Regarding the dead PMG4:
The reason it isn't responding, powering up or waking from sleep is due to the Power Management Unit getting a bit screwed up. To fix the problem, I woul…

Apple didn't start using SDRAM (aka PC66, PC100 and/or PC133) type sticks until the Beige Power Macintosh G3 and G3 All-In-One models; sometime in late 1997 or early 1998. So, tha…

If you have such a problem with people quoting uncontrollably, why not just PM them to stop doing it so much? Instead of ruining it for the rest of us?
