Very insightful comments trag, thank you. I played a bit with the CE pins before, attempting to make a direct connection to ground which didn't help. I think I'll test the voltag…

$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #40

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3. Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

Deep IIci rejuvenation, possible ROM select problem — #5

I plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…

$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #39

You can't really compare bulk lots to singles. Bulk lots are always cheaper because the seller is offloading the hassle of picking them up, sorting them and throwing out the dead …

$50 for an orange iMac - reasonable? — #37

I agree with the other posts that $50 is way too much for most G3 iMacs. I couldn't get $20 for the slot load 350MHz one I had; ended up giving it to a small non-profit.
