Hey again! Would you be interested in organizing another trade of some sort for the Quadra? -J

You need to check voltages on your PSU before doing anything else. In the past, I posted detailed PSU voltages that you should have a look at. Check the voltages at the floppy co…

Actually, its liquid nitrogen you need, and unfortunately the 1 Ghz speedup only works with the Plus, not the SE. [)] ]'> http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/plus.html

I have been wanting to modify an Asante SE/30 ethernet adapter card to remove the stock pass-through connector and replace it with a right-angled connector. My attempts so far hav…

I went to turn it on a few minutes ago and got no sign of life. No display, no startup tone, no click noise, no fan. I will provide voltage readings in a short while, when I get …

If you've got some good plans for your Quadra and can't get the motherboard working, I could see if I can find one I can send to you. Where are you located? I have a lot of spare …

Make a waterproof, airtight case. Then fill it with liquid helium. Overlock the SE to a few hundred MHz and make it the fastest SE on the planet.

wont make a difference

I can scrounge up 384MB of RAM. You think 256MB to be enough for X.3?

I have a 400mhz pismo with 512MB RAM also and is running 10.4.11. It is quite quick all things considered. For net surfing I had to dump safari as it was too slow compared to fir…

Thanks for the advice so far,It wasn't chiming before so i put a new battery in but that changed nothing. So I soldered the cap back in, using 2 short wires but it is still the sa…

Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

On the same subject. I have a AGP 400mhz Gigabite that refuses to boot from the retail OS 9 CD. Tried 8.6 but no go. It tried from the CD 10.4 but it kernal panics. ideas? Cl…

My just-new one with 512k RAM and a 400ghz processor runs Tiger quite nicely. Only trouble I've had is with Word 98 running in classic mode - had to get something to word process i…

Fremont Fry's also has 1/2 AA 3.6v batteries. San Jose Fry's does not carry them.

Beachycove, I have a Pismo (see signature) running OS X 10.4.11 perfectly fine. It performs quite well with Tiger, although I'm planning on dropping it down to Panther (10.3.x) d…

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…

How well does a Pismo function under X? I have two Pismo parts machines and am pondering spending some money ($100 or so) on a battery and memory to make a single low-end (probably…

Had a similar issue - fixed by resoldering the cables going to the analogue board to the PCB plugged into the back of the tube. JB
