that's counter intuitive but makes since |) Click to expand... Me too, you would think if something might break, the last thing you would want to do is put and leave any kin…

That attaching band is built in as part of the CRT isn't it? I would think any replacement you get will have one included. Click to expand... Yep. Proper replacements come wit…

A B&W is a new world ROM Mac so it doesn't have the 8GB limit, but it does have a 128GB limit to a HD on the internal controller. A rev 1 ATA controller chip will be flaky …

The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the four corner mounting lugs. It is an implosion resisting band applied and tensioned by the CRT manufacturer to many …

Very nice, I love the 950 series (have 5 myself). Odd seeing a real WGS95 without the DAT drive, did it still have the PDS SCSI card installed and the optional 5 drive tray? You a…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

I suppose that might make me fire up the se/30 in the garage.. I really need to bring all my macs inside the basement... I had a climate controlled storage area that I recently qui…

Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

WGS 95 has 48 RAM, Q950 has PPC upgrade 601-100 MHz, full 256 RAM, the other two didn't boot, one had sad bong and other probably PSU problem.

Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

First things first, regardless of what you may hear from him, we don't hate him. There's no major vendetta against him, no conspiracy theories, or anything like that. Really, we wa…

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

I think it is a fair considering Mike has been contributing to 68mla for over 2 years. A summary of the decision would silence all rumors and questions regarding the situation and…

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

Ok I am fairly sure I am crossing a line here. I don't mean any disrespect, but I am going to cross it anyway. I've been apart of this community getting close to 10 years now. In …

For some reason I can only boot into OS9, if I select OSX in startup disk the mac will chime and it will not output video. Don't know why...

My Quicksilver is currently using a PCI card since it gave up its AGP GeForce2 MX for my Cube. (16MB Rage, but that machine is in server duty and only used over screen sharing,…

I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…
