Well, I downloaded Ubuntu from the link provided by macgeek417 (a 4 hour process at 70KB) and put the iso image on an empty HD on the G$ MDD. Upon double clicking the image I get …

Well, Dana's website said that a later version took out the CUDA button, but I'm not so sure myself. FYI, my Macintosh LC 475 also has a auto-eject floppy.

I think most, if not all LC475s have the red CUDA reset button - I have two LC475 boards that have it, but neither of them have the ROM SIMM slot, just the solder pads.

Its a good thing you have a large collection, cause you seem to be the bringer of death ... can you get to the main board of the mac, if so sniff around up close (like practicall…

PMed ya.

It's not too, too rare, actually. My Macintosh LC 475 also has the ROM SIMM socket (along with a red PRAM reset button) too.

I"m just curious...what kind of floppy drive does it have? Does it have the older auto-inject floppy drive, or the newer manual inject floppy drive? Just curious, because I know th…

While Working on my powerBook 150 today, I got it to a almost perfect condition. Put it back together and, a Black screen and a bad smell. On further inspection it seems that I hav…

No it needs to match the CPU's clock speed, so it should be a 25 not 16 like that one is. Also don't expect a big performance boost from it.

OK... if i want to add an FPU, what should I search for on eBay? Click to expand... 68882

OK... if i want to add an FPU, what should I search for on eBay?

I cannot imagine that it´s a prototype, because it was used by a big press agency here in Austria. On the other hand this could make it possible that it´s an verry early machine. T…

The LC III shouldn't be picky on the type of RAM, as long as it's a 72-pin SIMM and isn't ECC. However, I believe that the only type of VRAM you can use is one that is marked "LC …

Nice. I keep track of a few websites in the hope of getting lucky someday.

Analog board checks out, so my repair there was a success. Unfortunately the logic board is toast... me and Wackymacs on IRC, with his copy of Larry Pina's book handy, were unab…
