So did you get the 840AV - hows it look? I'm pretty sure I've a 32MB EDO SIMM in my 840AV - it won't hurt - give it a shot - but ideally you should go for FPM. ECC EDO RAM def…

The traditional way to prevent cracks from going further is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Not flash, but will save the plastic from further cracking. JB

Well I got a bunch of memory on craigslist the other day for REALLY cheap. Guaranteed to work or my money back. They're 72pin 60ns SIMMs, but they're EDO, and I wanted to make sure…

Finally got my Lombard back up to 512MB RAM. So nice.... Anyway, I noticed on the bottom of the case that there is a crack from the Apple logo to about 2/3rds of the way to the r…

The noise issue is a common complaint... I used my 700MHz eMac for occasional recording and solved the problem quite easily by hanging a thick fuzzy towel on the wall behind it.

Oh GAWD. My 700mhz eMac wails like a get being sent through a wood chipper! (Not really but you get the idea... :rambo: ) I must admit the 1.25 ghz leaky caps one in the lab s…

eMacs are loud? WTF? Every single eMac I have ever used (it's got to be over 50 by now) has been very quiet. These are mostly 1.25 and 1.42 GHz, so maybe the older models were dif…

That's about the standard price for kits that I've seen on ebay - or even less! And as they mostly ship from Hong Kong or mainland China, it ends up cheaper for us southerners. I…

Yes, the hdd is on the sled. But I resolved the issue by breaking off the plastic tab. So the front bezel is back on, hooked on by the remaining plastic tab on the left side. No…

Nicely done! A 1MB cache for a 6/7/8100 is my parts "Eleanor"

You'll pay through the nose at Wegener. No offense to them - it's the same at most of the retails webstores for old parts. Best to post a want ad in the Trading Post here.

Tiger can run on it, even if it only has a 250mhz G3 and 160mb RAM. It still can run on Kangas.

As far as I know, the memory check can't be turned off in the Memory Control Panel on a Quadra. I seem to recall that it requires a PPC and MacOS8 — possibly 8.5 or 8.6. It require…

Check with www.ifixit.com. They are one other good source for help on PB1400 laptops. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

The eMac 9.2.2 disc is a good one. The version I have has Mac OS ROM 10.1.1, which is one of the highest versions. I don't think any bootable, 9.2.2 install discs have the higher 1…

For the records: A 9.2.2 CD bundled with a later G4 worked quite well. It´s still verry strange to me, but the bought 9.1 refuses to boot, but a 9.2.2 works (even if it was made fo…

Is the HDD on the sled? If it is, try putting it in without the sled. It might be an odd-dimensions hard drive, therefore it sticks out a bit. Not every HDD was made to fit into…

Classic - Do you have a link for downloading the WannaBe browser? I'd like to give that a try if it would keep other content from trying to load... I wanted to try it with the 1400…

Classic - I found the download site for WannaBe, so I got that ok. Thanks! Will give it a try.

I've forgotten the difference between the 64K ROMs. It was something very minor to do with the ROM debugger IIR (we were hoping for a fix for >512K of RAM of course). Cli…

I got one of these for my 7300 back in the day. They really do make a difference and they did indeed cost a fortune when they were new. For $5 it's a great deal - and a cool colle…

My browser preference is obvious but WannaBe works very well on the 1400 as a text browser. Really, though, my 1400 got much more useful when I put a G3 and RAM Doubler on it. …

Your 9.1 CD is probably a few months older than your G4, and it lacks some driver needed to boot the Mac. Similarly, my new Mini came with Leopard, but it won't boot from a 10.5.0 …
