Mac Plus and External SCSI — #8

1.25ghz eMac, What are my options? — #11

You mightve taken my comment incorrectly. I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the fact Mike was making fun (Well not really) of Apple Geniuci

1.25ghz eMac, What are my options? — #8

I will definitleyly try that. May be I should scour a 1.42ghz Drive cover so that they do that to this one! Click to expand... I wouldn't recommend doing that purposefully. It…

How to clean a IIfx power supply — #8

1.25ghz eMac, What are my options? — #5

Don't solder anything yet. Try asking Apple first. Call 1-800-SOS-APPL or whatever their phone number is. Talk to the first guy, who will probably deny the repair, then ask to spea…

How to clean a IIfx power supply — #7

Both my IIfx units have 6 Nubus cards installed, the fan is not that loud (not compared to a 950 anyway). Are you saying it is noisy with the cover off or on?

1.25ghz eMac, What are my options? — #2

First of all, stop using the system immediately, Unplug it and remove the board if you have to. If you follow that advice, then you may have a pretty cheap repair job on your hand…

How to clean a IIfx power supply — #6

This is well off topic, but is your IIfx really loud? That fan really wants to move a lot of air, doesn't it? Presumably the fan has to be reasonably powerful in order to cool up …

My 2nd IIfx is a mac II with a IIfx upgrade (and IIfx sticker on the bottom of the case). The IIfx upgrade came with a superdrive (since the II was an 800K equipped machine). Very …

How to clean a IIfx power supply — #4
