In other words, has anybody got a 6500 or a 6500 PSU lying around who could dig one out and post all the voltages and wattage for each for me? I need to adapt an ATX PSU to run the…

Did you try unplugging the floppy drive, the hard drive and the fan to see if it's caused by any of them?

I have an 1040STE with an external hard disk. I wish I could say I use it frequently, but it was sort of an impulse buy. Maybe when I get my music studio set up, I'll dust it off a…

If someone would come and pick it up from my door, I would send it off into the world with a ribbon and bow attached. Right now it's taking up useful space.

If the PRAM battery is good, then yes you have an issue with the motherboard.

Nice work Dennis!

I almost got that ST/ game console thing forget off hand what it was called, when it first came out, but I was shopping for a video game console and ended up with a genesis, other …

I use an ST Mega4 for older software which won't run on my Atari Falcon. Click to expand... Brother Atarian! I have a Falcon 030 but my best ordinary ST is a 1040STF. I'm tryin…

no not fully, yes its toast to joe user, it might be to you, to nerds it might be a interesting project to see what exactly is dead usual suspects, caps, corrosion (and or junk on…

My newest conquested LC 475 displays some strange problems. It refuses to power up, but with different working power supplies (one from my LC III, which works fine, and one from my…

being that large its not going to be anything mission critical (big farads = low frequency filter, or a really half hearted fudge of a timer) I have just been cleaning and sorting …

I have some 1,000uf 25 volt caps here, they were removed from a board, but that board was brand new and never used Click to expand... I'm not exactly sure if it's worth it. Th…

Wow... If I were to count, I have less than twenty, most doing something useful. I'm still trying to find a useful place to host two m68k Macs - one is a Quadra 610 for which I nee…

Macs and PC's added together I probably have about 50 but most of the PC's are for future parts salvage. There's only a few that I intend to keep intact like my Dell GX 1's. I'm re…

I received the board and other goodies. Here is what happened since then: A. Checked for a short from +12 to GND or any other rail. I found some suspiciously low resistances. …

Damn! Seventy six computers? You and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum, I believe. I have what I thought was a decent amount of machines, but I try to get them to justify the…

For me it really doesn't matter because my machines are mainly display pieces that only get checked to see if they are working every couple years. 76 computers takes a while to go …

Pay more for lithium AA or AAA, and you'll never have to worry about leaking.

Ah! Ok... I've never used AAA batteries in my Macs. As you can tell, I'm really paranoid about batteries. I hate opening up the cases to find the mobo destroyed... :'(

Oh! I thought you were talking about AA or AAA batteries leaking when used on motherboards. I've had one AAA battery leak most likely due to the fact that the machine was stored in…

Ha ha ha... If you're running Mac OS 8.1, you can have one partition at the beginning from which to boot, then use the rest as HFS+. On the other hand, I'm running NetBSD, so I jus…
