There are lots of possible problems here. System RAM needs to be fast (off the top of my head 80ns -- correctly guessed) and 2MB SIMMs don't work. You have to have functioning RAM…

Hey everyone! Just got my eMac 700. It was a teachers and had a trillion stickers. I haven't powered it up, but dang this thing is heavy!!! I might put OS 9 on it :beige: I'll…

Nice! Have fun with that machine!

So I visited a Salvation Army thrift store in PA that I tend to frequent. Usually in their electronics section in the basement only have monitors and printers. So this time when I …

Well, I just read that 100 NS RAM (aka LC/LC II series RAM) won't work on the Macintosh IIci. Will the IIci give video without RAM?

You're very right, and I respect your decision. Sorry if I have been rude. However, a better idea would be to advertise here on the Trading Post, the 68KMLA's own stop for sell…

I read the documentation on how to do it (many thanks), and got to the point of actually removing two screws to release the chassis, then stopped and thought long and hard about wh…

Hi all, I'm back from a leave of absence from these forums; I stopped posting for a while following a few problems between me and certain other members here. I'm back in the hope…

System 7.0 and 7.0.1 are rather buggy releases, so 7.1 might be a good start.

It seems that MediaWiki doesn't allow uploading of ZIP files due to security issues. Why specifically do you need to use ZIPs?

ZIPs are in the list of allowed extensions... so I'm not sure what the problem is really...

It's a setting in mediawiki, I had to configure mine at stenoweb.net/wiki/ specifically to allow PDF files for example. TL could probably change the setting, what is it that neces…

Yes, I fear that your TiBook has developed a problem with the BGA joints under the graphics chip. This problem is unfortunately widespread (the early iBooks were infamously prone t…

Update: The printer does not want to power on at all. I would take a look in the PSU, as it might be the fuse or some leaky capacitors, but its really not worth my time. (It's a pr…

Sounds like it might be worth running the appropriate version of Norton Disk Doctor over your drive Click to expand... Also a very good idea.

Um, did you clean the heads? Click to expand... I shouldn't have to clean the heads. Click to expand... Oh come on. It's a thrift shop, for flip's sake. What did you expe…

Im a techno type, with a masters in electronic engineering so maybe i think different (C apple) but the vibe i got from the forum here was "rip that joker apart and make it work" …

Hello z, Thanks for this, I can't say I'm technically experienced enough to have even imagined that if the drive may be on its way out that it would still write in some formats bu…

My thoughts on posts like these are the same as a few people have mentioned. Essentially, don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. In my years on this board, which are (wi…

I understand the hoarding issue, it is something many of us have faced - myself included. I have since paired down my collection to these: 8600 BeigeG3MT Sawtooth PB5300cs iBo…

Unfortunately most thrift shops don't test electrical goods - hence why they claim "This item has not been tested and is being sold suitable for parts only". Its easier for them to…

I'll check that location. Thanks! BTW, no VRAM stick is necessary, right? And also I'm using 100 ns RAM. Will that work?
