Something else just occurred to me on the overheating possibility. Could it be the HD that's overheating and not the system? Tempest

The G4 tower has just been turned on after being cleaned up and allowed to dry out (necessary as the cleaning included a hosing of the power supply, which surely emitted enough ni…

The games will immediately crash again if I open them. But like I said it's not all the games, just certain ones. I'll crack 'er open and see if there's something loose inside or…

Ok yet another wrinkle. I had the Mac turned off for an hour or so while I did something else, came back, and now everything works. Shufflepuck, Fools Errand, Gunshy, they all wo…

Hmm... Just got an Illegal Instruction error in the control panel again. Could just the presence of a bad program in a folder cause the Mac to go wonky or does it have to be 'inst…

I may have spoke too soon. Booting from a System Disk I still get errors in games. Shuffle Puck Cafe crashes with an illegal Instruction error after the Broderbund Screen (might …

Be aware that with a 575 board, you will have to perform either a software mod or a hardware mod. The software mod is to fool the 575 board into operating at the Color Classic's 5…

I've been using Stuffit Deluxe 3.0.7 under System 6.0.8 on my SE/30 for ages now, although I must admit I don't use it that much at all. I use Stuffit Expander 5.5 more frequently…

I think you're right. Oddly it did work under System 6, it just caused everything else to have errors. Where can I grab the latest 3.x.x version? I assume that they're freew…

You never know - companies are still buying them, so it's just a matter of time before some older product becomes "obsolete" and the chips work their way onto eBay. Or if a company…

Tempest, Bear in mind that version 4.01 was written during System 7's era. It wouldn't surprise me much that you may need to upgrade to 7 to fix the problem. Otherwise, try down…

On the other hand, if you can get your hands on a Freescale made m68040 Click to expand... Yeah, like that's gonna happen. They are like $250-$300 each in bulk according to Fre…

I'm sorry, I think my continuity tester was on the fritz. I switched to a different one that has an audible indicator and I found much more connections. All data and address bits…

With the help of a friend I finally have my Mac plus up and running. It has 4MB, a 500MB external HD, an CD Drive (an Apple CD150), and is running System 6.0.8. At first everythi…

Ok, I just saw that thread under the Classic Mac thread. I will read through it. Thanx for the tip off! Geo

Would you still need a heat sink/fan if you were using an 040 that was actually rated for 40mhz? Click to expand... Yes. The 40 MHz part is made exactly the same as the 25 MHz …

At first I swapped resistors to go to 33MHz and afterwards I installed 40MHz oscillator, as per instructions on Marc Schrier's page. http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html'&a…

All of the data bits of the onboard ROMs are indeed directly connected to the ROM SIMM slot. Also to RAM bank B. RAM bank A is also connected, but via 3-state bidirectional buffe…
