Yeah I'm still having problems with the booting. I put new batteries in it and get the starting chime, but nothing after that other than a click or two. I tried resetting the PRA…

I read on here a couple of months ago from one of the resident technologoi that the termination supplied by later 50-pin scsi drives is usually sufficient for a IIfx; the black ter…

t's been a long long time since I had the jailbreak a piece of 5.25" software :0 Click to expand... Me too! SInce I really don't want to clone a copy-protected disk, Locksmith …

searching "macintosh IIfx terminator" fourth link down brings up an old apple doc http://support.apple.com/kb/TA42169 searching "apple part number 590-0705" second link brings up…

. . . I never did find out what was so special about it. I'm thinking maybe it is some sort of pseudo active termination? ties back the 5v line to pretend to be active termina…

If no one gets to it first, I can at least photograph it for you. I was luck enough to get one in a random conquest a year or so ago. Now I have 2 dead iifx machines (battery acid…

Awesome collection you have there! I'll see about going back to some of the old Computists I found online as well as anything in the myriads of the Copy II+ software and Softsmith…

Does someone have a picture or better yet specs of the legendary black IIfx terminator? My IIfx didn't come with one so I'm either going to have to buy one, find a compatible one,…

Phooey! I used a 21" SuperMac bottle with my Q950's built-in video, but it "just worked" so I never had to delve into the mysteries deeply. Next time I fire the old beastie up, I'l…

I'll make this a separate topic. I have just about all Syntauri software, I think, but some floppies have partially bad files, and stuff needs to be copied to new disks. At one tim…

I have found a Portable Backlit without hard disk with a full memory expansion. It has these sympthoms: - without battery it boots well but after booting I get this message "No b…

The IIfx doesn't seem to want to boot properly now. I get the chime but nothing else. It doesn't attempt to access the hard drive or the disk drive (it did the first time I turned …

I assume that only works if you have the Radius drivers installed. Click to expand... Nope. This feature is built into the firmware on the card and happens (IIRC) before the …

A lot of SuperMac and Radius cards were for specific proprietary monitors, though many were capable of multiple resolutions with proper software & inits. Click to expand…

Again, thank you H3nry for your assistance. I've tried Mode 5 VGA 640x480 - separate sync. Result: green screen. I've tried Mode 5 on other resolutions: same old story. Either no …

Sorry to keep bumping this up. Can the moderators or site admins please make this a sticky in the Classic Macs area? Thank you. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

You're a bit vague on the details. Are you getting a shock when your hand is placed right in front of the screen? If that is true, then I would agree with tomlee59. But if you h…

OK, try "mode 5 VGA 640x480" separate sync. Avoid mode 6, sync on green, is what I meant to say. If the picture won't stop rolling / tearing, the monitor may require SOG (mode 6) b…

Ok So my screen has those diagonal lines and I notice that the screen has like a lot of static electricity in it. I had my hand on screen and turned it on and it zapped the %#$&amp…

At ThinkGeek they used to have a Static Electricity discharger I always use for computers and the like... And how about Static Spray?

I'd recommend switching out analog boards before you try to use it again. Try to find a working SE/30 analog board to use while you deal with the one in the machine now. And, if …
