A few days ago, my battery arrived and I put it into the iMac. Then I reset the PMU, and here we are, several days later, the iMac showing NONE of its previous time forgetfulness.…

ROM 2.5.1 + Mac OS 8.6 definetivly works! I´m using it right now

So, the second Powerbook has had its fuse repaired, and I touched up the soldering on the first PB as well, thanks to new flux and the awesome video at CuriousInventor.com However…

Well, its still very unstable and unreliable. I bought a 256 mb stick and i will try that out, should be okay.

Well, i have gotten it working for now with vm on, hopefully it will run better. What i did was set the disk cache in memory control panel to Custom setting at 2 mb. Not sure why t…

Okay, its running with the 128 mb in, seems to be okay. I started up with extensions off, and did a ram test with guage pro, the ram was ok. So i took the daughtercard out and blew…

But i have no problems with only the one module in so i don't think it is an extensions conflict, i think its just when i have them both in and extensions on it has more to load in…

Well, for shits and giggles, I wanted to see if the AGP slot works. And what do you know it does, I'm not sure what that weirdness was before...

Interestingly it boots with extensions off but when they are on it freezes either before the finder loads or right after the icons show up. I tried flipping them around and the dau…

Are they both the same speed? Some modules aren't backwards compatible (speed wise) so could be conflicting Just a thought

I can't see how i would have a bad ram stick, if i can use the lombard with either on in without any problems. Its just when they are together that i can't boot.

You have a bad ram stick.

I got my lombard from ebay today, 333 mhz, 64 mb ram, 9.2.2 This runs os 9 great and thats where its going to stay i think. WamCom is a nice browser too. I have been trying to add …

I replaced the fuse in the one with the grey screen/no boot. ... It's booting Mac OS 9.1!! I'm excited. The soldering job isn't the best, but it works for now.

I think it was when I was swapping out the optical drive. I remember dropping a screw but I couldn't find it. I am actually typing on it right now, but I also think the bus for the…

Yeah doesn't sound good, i agree that something must have shorted out, how did that screw get in there?

Yes it is.

My guess is that the screw shorted out something on the motherboard when the system was powered on, delivering current or too much current to something not expecting it. Is the 70…

Well my dual450 G4 has been sitting for three weeks or so, and I am now going to use it during this when I sell my 20" iMac. I hit the power and I hear a sizzle and a single long b…

Am I the only one here who has ever actually loaded a program from a cassette tape? Click to expand... Nope, I started out with a Trash-80 (TRS-80) Model I Level II with all of…

Sure...just don't expect me to spoon. Click to expand... So I suppose a fork's out of the question. Click to expand... Not if I'm feeling frisky.

Ohyes. I can well remember doing tape loads and saves on an Australian clone of the TRS-80, among other machines. Sure...just don't expect me to spoon. Click to expand..…
