Hey, I've spent a little time tinkering with the MDD some more. By all accounts it's the fastest Mac I've owned - much faster in general use compared to my G4 Cube (with a Gigade…

Well my problem must be different, because I left it on for about half an hour and nothing happened. I think it might be the power supply, because the hard drive starts to spin, th…

I figured out the problem: it sometimes takes the onboard video a minute ot two (literaly) to initilize on my LC III

JackHammer. Click to expand... Hmm... are those cards bootable? I heard that they weren't, but I'm probably wrong. and @ Bunsen: WOW-I'd kill for one of those. Too bad they're…

Possible monitor modes maybe (a) working and displaying ( B) stand-by © has signal but cannot use it due to incompatible frequencies (d) no input detected at all (e) off

Hahaha :beige: Now I'm thinking it might be a power supply issue. I have a Power Mac 8500 that also won't display video, but with the Power Mac the monitors light blinks orange…

I moved the computer to another room, and when I tried again, there was no picture at all. Click to expand... Did you remember to also move the screen? What "switches…

I'm having similar problem with my LC III. When I first used it with my Mac ~ VGA adapter, the picture was fine (although it didn't boot up because there was no operating system in…

At my school we have oodles of BlueBerry/Bondi ones. It seems like they where the norm. My old school had TONS of colors. In the more recent days (When I used to go to that school…

Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:59 pmbecause there was a rain storm today / I'll leave it un powered for 2 days. Click to expand... Tue Aug 25, 2009 3:55 amNo boot. I powered it on.…

Never actually seen a lime or tangerine iMac in real life... oddly enough those would be my first choice after graphite.

Dual CPUs under OS 9: short version. The operating system itself will not use the second processor. Some programs will - mostly Photoshop

Definitely try the PRAM battery. That thing may be storing the speed settings you choose in the software in the Mac's PRAM. If so, the setting would be lost without a PRAM batt…

JackHammer. Fast and Wide SCSI. Once you've got a network and fast video and maybe a CPU upgrade, the limiting factor in the IIci is the disk access. The JackHammer (or the SE…

Pictures, Pictures, PICTURES!

eriously though, wood must be moved. Who knows what's trapped behind there, some potential gems. The Macs damaged by moisture, well it's surprising just how much they can withstand…

The 6100 requires a matched pair of RAM SIMMs

VideoSpigot for $16 shipped on eBay (BIN). That's not such a good deal, right? :-/ Click to expand... That's a great deal IMHO - if you want video input. AFAIR, the only othe…

I think I remember hearing back in the day that Blueberry and Strawberry were the highest selling flavours, being trailed by Grape and Lime. Tangerine was the worst selling flavour…

I dunno, I bet grape, lime and tangerine are less common. We have a strawberry 333 here as well.

I'd have a field day at that place... it's like the battleground of the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army troops, those that could be saved have been air lifted to safety and are now i…

Definitely go back and move some wood. I would scavenge around in the the rusted Macs for parts, although if they got moist, then don't bother. Click to expand... They look lik…

The SE's ethernet card probably has the AUI connector and the regular rj45 connecter. Either connector will work to provide the same 10Mb/sec ethernet connectivity, so you won't ev…

8-o Just try to take everything you can. Also, the Macintosh LC 475 with no video most likely has a dead PRAM battery. Just turn it on, then quickly flip it off and on again. bt…
