As I said in my first post, "Are zip drives made as scuzzy, parallel, or one for all or is the difference in the cable hook up?" How does one know it is a scuzzy drive if you don…

Not sure if I mentioned, but I'm willing to give any logic board a shot, not just SE/30s. If you have IIfx or different with caps needing replacing, I'll give it my best. PM me a…

that's counter intuitive but makes since |) Click to expand... Me too, you would think if something might break, the last thing you would want to do is put and leave any kin…

That attaching band is built in as part of the CRT isn't it? I would think any replacement you get will have one included. Click to expand... Yep. Proper replacements come wit…

A B&W is a new world ROM Mac so it doesn't have the 8GB limit, but it does have a 128GB limit to a HD on the internal controller. A rev 1 ATA controller chip will be flaky …

The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the four corner mounting lugs. It is an implosion resisting band applied and tensioned by the CRT manufacturer to many …

Very nice, I love the 950 series (have 5 myself). Odd seeing a real WGS95 without the DAT drive, did it still have the PDS SCSI card installed and the optional 5 drive tray? You a…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

I suppose that might make me fire up the se/30 in the garage.. I really need to bring all my macs inside the basement... I had a climate controlled storage area that I recently qui…

Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

WGS 95 has 48 RAM, Q950 has PPC upgrade 601-100 MHz, full 256 RAM, the other two didn't boot, one had sad bong and other probably PSU problem.

Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

If it has a picture of a printer on the second 25 pin port, it is a parallel Zip drive. Do NOT connect this drive to a Mac.

First things first, you must use a SCSI Zip drive on that Mac. Parallel port Zip drives require a parallel port, which is only found on PCs, if you connect a parallel port device t…

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Who can tell me how to hook an external Zip drive to my Performer 630CD? I have access to a Zip 250 external drive but don't know how to hook it to my Mac? Are Zip drives made scu…

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

For some reason I can only boot into OS9, if I select OSX in startup disk the mac will chime and it will not output video. Don't know why...
