Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDII…

It was the pt-puhtt noise I was asking about. Is that the static noise? In the background the fans were spinning down, which I knew. The pt-puhtt noise happens when the power is s…

I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut it down. Is that normal? Click to expand... Is that in addition to the standard beep, or instead of? It sou…

I would love to hear that noise, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to download that AIFF file!

It sounds like you're not even getting a bong. Which is what leads me to CPU card seating problems. Click to expand... Yes, I had been getting the chime, but now I'm not. I'l…

Speed is of coarse the driving factor for most using the Mac Pro. I think the loss of PPC support will eventually get a lot of people to move on once Apple stops releasing securit…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine. Click to e…

I got a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 w/ 1GB (4x256MB) RAM and a 160GB HDD off of Craigslist for $240 (was 280) Runs great. Did a few upgrades. Swapped the 160 for a 1TB Green HDD (Western Digi…

I don't think it was heat. It is in a cool environment, the fan in it works fine, and the case never gets hot. I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut…

I don't think you mentioned the CPU card. Given the symptoms, my guess would be a faulty/poorly installed CPU card. Try removing and reseating it. If that fails, unplug the powe…

If you do not have anything connected to the built-in video (you don't, do you, even a Mac-to-VGA adapter counts here) then the Mac should detect this and default the start-up scre…

Could be that teh power supply is getting marginal. If it drops too far below 5V you'll see behaviour like that. The fix could be as simple as turning the voltage adjustment scr…

I'm old-skool. And no, I didn't think so, but thought I'd ask.

Probably not. BTW, the 9500 uses DIMMs not SIMMs.

Am I right in assuming, from the replies, that no one thinks that putting in the two RAM SIMMs affected the 9500's condition?

OK thats all I needed to know

You can try it, I have.... it won't hurt anything.......but it won't work either.

Yeah those are what I see on mine... So Can I just try it out for fun or will my iMac s'plode?

I'm at uni now, and all my Macs at home, so I can't power up my iMac for confirmation, but I'm fairly sure I remember that the iMac supports these resolutions, ONLY at these refres…

Thank you for the links. I had seen the Miniscribe 8425 photos some time ago, but that drive doesn't look like the drive used in my Hyperdrive Mac. Note how flat the top casing i…

heat?

My Macintosh SE suddenly reset itself multiple times in a row while I was just typing in Note Pad.

Most of the Hyperdrives I've seen had MiniScribe mechanisms, which have 2 LEDs on the front panel, green for power OK / ready, and red for activity. Click to expand... Thank yo…

I've never delved very deep into an InstaTower before, but I'd imagine that if nothing else, there'd be an amplifier in there, since not only is there a knob on the back for adjust…
