but if bad caps are the culprit, I'd hate to accuse them of something that's not their fault.

Uhm, Caps don't have feelings. :lol:

Can the propeller work from a 62.6688Mhz clock? If so it's sampling can synchronised with the mac's pixel clock at four times.
Alternatively, can it not use a 78.336Mhz clock? So …
now my ADB ports don't seem to work at all, except for the power button on the keyboard. The Mac boots normally, but the keyboard and mouse aren't responsive. They both work fine w…

If there was a rotten cap in the mix it could have just drawn enough extra current to push it over from rotten to dead

the ADB jacks can handle more than anything you would want to shove in a mac electronics wise, so unless there is a physically broken plug the jack itself is not at fault, maybe s…

Did you follow the instructions on that site?
If you wanna go renegade, you can try soldering the mouse directly to the mobo? If you have like a dirty mouse or bad mouse of course…

I was afraid of that. The ADB-PS/2 adapter is for mice, specifically this:

So ummm...anyone have another IIcx mobo with a socketed processo…
I can. The issue is the strange frequency. Most microcontrollers and processors are made today to use a evenly divisible clock frequency. I want to use the Propeller because it hav…
I still don't understand why you simply can't source the clock off the Mac motherboard. If you don't want to solder to it use an alligator clip. I'm sure there's somewhere you can …

Can't say I ever seen a complete computer out on trash day (there are people with trucks who roam around looking for things to fix/resell around here), but they do tend to end up o…

The RTClock / calendar / PRAM chip has its own 32KHz crystal. Everything else runs off the "16MHz" clock. If you don't care about serial baud rates, floppy read / write, or video s…
Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and w…
Yeah, I know! I am excited, with the release of Snow Leopard we'll be seeing all kind of curb things. Some day PowerMac G5s!
But this machine is the cutoff for newworld machines …
The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated.

A year later it started up again so I just lubricated it myself.
Anyway... lubricate the eMac fan, …
