Q950 restoration project — #5

I'll do that a bit later. It's put away right now. Does the Q950 have on board graphics, or could it have been part of the card I just blew?

then there is a good likelyhood the motherboard is toast now.  But, to be sure you can try measuring the voltages coming in from the power supply and make sure your not missing on…

Q950 restoration project — #3

I don't have anything other than what you see in the photos. I tried plugging it into a monitor from the d19 plug on the back of the motherboard, and nothing happens.

Ouch. Something didnt get plugged in correctly, or 1-tooth-off. They usually dont blow for no reason.  That looks like it was part of the video capture subsystem which is probably…

I'm frustrated to say the least. Why? Let's start from the beginning. I finally got a case for my various 950 parts that have been sitting for a while unused. I put them all toget…

I'd put it around 1983. I own two Electrohome sets myself. Great units for stuff that only does RF. an RCA-Coax adapter. Click to expand... It's called an "RF Modulator"…

They have a 30-pin to RCA adapter, and I got one with the intent to toy around with getting it to work on my iPhone (which has a lightening connector) with an adapter. I never got …

My guess would be iPad to RCA, then an RCA-Coax adapter. That being said, did Apple ever make an iPad to RCA Lightning cable, or was that just 30-pin?

What all would I need to connect my iPad Mini to this for YouTube and the like? I have a regular coax connection now, but what is the cheapest option to go about this?

When the Apple II came out small color TVs were $300-$400, while a black-and-white model was more like $60. (To say nothing of what a real "color monitor" cost.) A *lot* of Apple I…

The Apple ][ should be able to display color, or at least that is what I thought. (That was why they made the Apple "colorful.")

Apple IIs (at least the //e enhanced I used) do this cool thing where they represent colours as bunches of black and white dots. They're great on both both B&W and colour s…

TAM — #76

the MOVs are designed to clamp on overvoltage. The previous attempt may have shorted them out when the fuse blew.  Soon as you powered it up again, it just finished off the MOVs. …

Same supply as a 6500 as mentioned, or at least looks the same. My concerns at this point would be damage to the Bose audio board in the power supply as well as damage to the TAM. …

You are right, cant miss it now. Its been blown before. By replacing the fuse, you just doubled up on the damage again even with the right voltage set. Ouch!

That looks more appropriate for an Atari 2600, IMO.
