So? He kept the site up and running. He updates phpBB, etc. You don't have to make lots of posts to be the Administrator.

~tl posts infrequently. Look at his profile.

I'm with Wally. I only understood about 10% of what he was talking about, but I'm with Wally.

Page 293 in the normally authoritative source differs with reality. 8-o Two actual SE/30 boards before me have a current limiting device, F1 in the ADB power net. In one inst…

Bump I finally got around to trying this out, but haven't had much success so far. I borrowed an Adaptec 29160N card from a friend, which has a 50-pin connector, and hooked up the…

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

The IIfx has a 1A fuse between the SWIM chip and the RFI filter, the SE and SE30 do not. There is a 470 Ohm resister in line with the 5VDC line powering the ADB signal line, that …

..."still not totally sure about doing the soldering myself. the current cylindric capacitors are seated in a little piece of black plastic. when removing the old capacitors, does …

There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

Friendly reminder it's ADB

The older LCs used more powerful supplies than the newer ones. If you're restoring an original LC, I would *guess* that it's best to put in the more powerful version.

phreakout - thanks for your reply. based on the article i mentioned earlier (re: mac II in same situation) i was thinking it could be F1 or F2. I have located these on the logic …

The place to look for paint and dye hints is over at the Applefritter forums. Good results have been had with automotive vinyl dye, which soaks into the surface, and with Krylon F…

It appears that you took the PSU voltages while the PSU was disconnected from everything else? If so, I strongly suggest you put it all back together and take voltages from the fl…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.

Tom you've done a great job and Admin or no we will still look to you as such. May your current endeavors be favorable ones.

OK, this is real weirdness, JDW. I just reattached the power supply unit back up to the analog board and unplugged everything from the board except the power supply. I turned it …

Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…

If you hadn't mentioned that your fan wasn't spinning, I would have suggested you swap out the logic board. But if the fan isn't spinning and now that you have confirmed all is we…

It's got 8MB RAM but the hard drive, which is a 250MB, has problems. It will "freeze up" when in use (I've tried twice to install 7.6 on it--yes, I finally have a use for the 7.6 C…

Hmmm... I have plenty of keychains... er... memory laying around. Maybe my LC III could use some of that extra "memory" :lol:

Ahh, you might want to check the date of that article, because...well...obviously it doesn't.

Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …
