Some tantalum caps have liquid electrolyte and some are solid. The liquid-filled ones may leak or dry out like aluminum Caps. The solid ones are very long lived.
I just got back and it's even cooler than I thought. I had trouble keeping my composure when I saw it, and I felt a little guilty walking out of the house with it. $10!!!! I…

... if there's anyone still interested.
Last evening I got the 9500 out again after having given up working on it for a month. In the month since then, a mouse had crawled into th…
I'm currently using CF in most of my older macs:

The SCSI based systems are using the R-IDSC-E adapter linked to earlier, with my experiences…
Thank you, JDW.
Basically, $10 plus $20 plus the shipping cost to send it to me, which usually runs around $10 to $20 USD for those sending in the U.S. For international, it will…

Our local Goodwill was having a 3-day Thanksgiving sale. So I went there to see what bargains I could find.
Aside from getting a C language programming book, a book on doing 3D ef…
I now have an SE/30 with SSD - quiet as a "Fat Mac",
Click to expand...
Well, not as quiet as a Fat Mac unless you have also taken out the fan. Which on an SE/30 might not be t…
I can attest to the first adaptor listed in your post above. It's the same I've used with great success for my "SSD in an SE/30"-project!
Please note; it's meant for full size HDD…
I decided to take a look for SD to IDE adapters on Ebay. And there's a lot of them! :O
Just looking at all the stuff one would need makes me dizzy.
First a SCSI to IDE adap…
Ahh yes, speed, I forgot.
Well - yes and no. It's faster then the stock Apple 40 meg, but no more than the IBM 9gig. I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow s…
Hi all.
Just wanted to share my experiences on SSD's (Solid State Drives) and my SE/30.
My SE/30's stock Apple drive was getting *very* noisy indeed, and a replacement 9gig IBM d…
Just to harp back onto the Amiga for a sec, MorphOS now officially supports the G4 Mac Mini. You can download a trial version of the OS from here. And here's instructions on how to…

Since you're running System 7 there is an easy way to see if an extension or control panel (sometimes referred to as INITs and cdevs by old-timers) is causing a conflict. Start up …

I'll also mention that the whole problem with me unable to get into Open Firmware might have to do with the fact that the computer doesn't understand the keyboard properly. Even no…

I'm impatient so I burned at 8x which is the fastest my burner does (and my media is rated at). It all worked out, and I've got 10.4.11 running on my Mini now. The last image I got…

Also keep in mind that II-series power supplies die very gradually. If you keep plugging and unplugging the power cord and mashing on both the keyboard and back panel power buttons…

I had to read that a second time. I thought you had missed the '475' on the end of LC. I did not know they even made that upgrade. I wish we had that back when our family had an…
