. . . Then again I just spent the last 2 days trying to get the full 3 Gig/sec out of our IBM Z10 Mainframe OSA card setup. It can be done, but not without jacking the dispatch…

I cut my hand quite badly the last time I had to install RAM in an 8500. If I were ever going to act out the printer scene from Office Space, it would be with an 8500. No computer …

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 …

.. folks seem to run at 20 - 25 MHz even after they've swapped in an 88916. There might be problems if the 88916 gets hot or otherwise loses margin, I imagine. Click to expand…

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…

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…
