My 9500 had the whole back piece fall off because all the plastic holding it to the shell broke off. The 6 case screws are the only things holding the back on now.

except for a serial mouse. Click to expand... I've never known a Macintosh with a "serial mouse". Where does this mythical beast fit it to the picture?

how much further can ANY software company go with OS's... I mean really OS's are ment to RUN programs... Look at some people who are still running OS 6 on a mac classic or a SE/30…

I don't think that's a Hyperdrive 512k but if it is the Hyperdrive is probably still in there - it'd be way more effort to remove one than to leave it in. I have a Plus with a Hyp…

I wanted to use it with my macs :'(

On any list of dreadful Apple printers, the LW 300 will find a place... For drivers, you'll need to provide feedback about OS versions that you plan using. If you are running Syst…

Aren't the Monitor and computer two different sub-systems? When I took apart the iMac there was a DB-15 connector connecting to the iMac Logic Board/ Click to expand... The bui…

The 9500 is possibly the worst of the PCI PowerMac family, owing to case inaccessibility. Click to expand... Indeed. Getting out the motherboard is a real pain. The plastic is …

OK, well its in my possession now, looking pretty next to my 512k. Can I use this iMac as a monitor for my 68k/older ppcs? I think I can as it has the DB-15 port for video. Clic…

9500 startup problems... Now that isn't a surprise. 1. Check the PRAM battery voltage. While it's out, unplug the mains power cable, leave the Mac to rest for 20 minutes, and then…

I'd expect any SE/Plus ROM combination to fail. The significant differences between Plus and SE are ADB and PDS, although I imagine there are tweaks around serial and sound too. P…

Now that I think about, and especially since beachycove said it, it DOES sound like SCSI issues. I recall having the exact same issue...and changing SCSI settings around, fixed it.

If it counts, I have an iMac G5, and the last time I bought a real mac was back in 2005. Old iBook G4 that I destroyed, I have never purchased one of my more recent macs.

Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - August 2004. Still running strong 5 years later as my daily Mac. I don't anticipate needing to upgrade until the release of Mac OS 10.7 -…

3. Have you tried booting from a floppy or from a CD? Click to expand... Yes. I put both a floppy and a CD ROM in, and it didn't acknowledge either one of them. This was when i…

I don't even have a G4 yet!

Just bought a dual G5 to replace a 700MHz eMac, so obviously I'm far from the bleeding edge... I don't see myself needing to upgrade in the next 3-5 years (unless I get filthy rich…

Cool experiment though. Now we know for sure what happens. Click to expand... Yes. It makes me wonder if there is a pin incompatibility or a software one. I should have put th…

and are you going to move to Macpro..? do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...? How often do you buy Mac's? Jim

Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd ro…
