Yep! That's an MMI drive. You are lucky you got one that was made just right. A lot of them had trouble with excess lubricant on the disk surface spinning to the outside edge where…
I just gave up and got out the 8100/80 instead, thinking that I'd post here the next day (which I've done).
Maybe someone else has a clue. I wonder if putting in the mis-matched R…
JDW, is your Hyperdrive in running condition? If your Hyperdrive has an MMI or Miniscribe drive, it would be a miracle if it still spins.

What a coincidence - I just put back together my 9500 yesterday, and got it up and running today.
I can tell you from experience that the 9500 is a real B**** when it comes to cra…
The requirement for 10.4 was that the machine have either AGP graphics or FireWire

Even that may not be a hard requirement. Tiger 10.4.11 boots natively on m…
It seems to me that since the original 128K and 512K can run BBS software to share e-mail and files via those old networks, and later, services like FidoNet allowed those dial-up n…

I got out the ole' Power Mac 9500 last evening and tried to start it up. No luck. Though the hard drive in it is fine and has OS 7.6 on it, it did not work. I got to the gray scree…

Well, there is a lil radius icon at the bottom when its loading. But right now I can't see anything as the internal video on my IIci does not want to cooperate with my Display and …
I re-tried the same procedure last night, but this time without the tinfoil on the GPU. After I'd left it a little while to cool down, I booted it up and the screen lit up straight…
Visible on the logic board beneath the modem is what appears to be an unused set of solder pads for a SODIMM socket for VRAM expansion. Too bad Apple left it out, or we could rock …
Apple's late-model CRT-based systems seem to have numerous problems like this. I've got an original iMac with a failing flyback, and one of the original B&W G3 companion di…
The thermal paste in the AlBooks is reminiscent of concrete sludge: it's thick and gray and kind of grainy. If you start having problems (crashes, etc) with your machine, you might…
Wallstreets:
Available fixed-resolution 12" STN, 13.3" TFT, and 14.1" TFT displays. I've read that 12.1" TFT was a later option, but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.
Very low-…
That's a "Macintosh" sticker on the face of that Mac in the EBAY auction. You can see how the right side of it is reflecting in the sun. The real question at this point is, WHY p…
I second H3NRY's thoughts...that sticker definitely looks like it says, "Macintosh" for me, and looks exactly the same as said sticker on the back of my M0001.

Hi there. My IIci has a Radius DirectColorGX. The internal video does not work with my VGA monitor and adaptor. But I plugged in my VGA-Mac Adaptor to the Radius Card, and voila it…
