So I have a Classic II with 4 mb of RAM. I got it open (finally) removed the old memory and installed 2 4mb 30 pin SIMMs. I power up the Mac, go to "About This Macintosh" and it …

What does the "System 1.0" on your harddisk look like?

I finally have an M0001 original mac :beige: (no 128K badges) and I also have a copy of system 1.0 on my hard drive. I could probably figure out a way to make boot disks but I …

I doubt this applies but my powermac is a real pita about VGA too, if you start that machine up without a monitor plugged in it defaults to the tv out, which means you gotta hook i…

So my Performa 6214 won't output video to my VGA screen. I know this adapter is good and it worked intermittentley on another screen, the screen I am trying to use is a 15" 1024x76…

Dude, let me take an inventory on my vintage stuff. Since I am downsizing my 68k/early-PPC stuff, I may end up having more adapters than I really have use for. I'm getting to the…

I'm sorry to say the orange goes faster. It also looks better. //wthww

I have the 840avs now. Well... They are sitting in the kitchen. However, at this point they are useless since i have no adapter for the video, neither a monitor to use it with. I…

The Powertoggle works with a normal slot adapter and AV video card, but not with my Sonnet upgrade card and the same video card. It chimes fine with the Sonnet card, but I get no …

On a PowerBook 160 that I have been playing with this morning, I noticed, to my surprise, that if I turn off the 16 greys and set the Monitors Control Panel to display in B/W only,…

I have an 840av in nearly stock config, paired to an AudioVision display, which although "for" the x100 powermacs, works fabulously if you've got the correct adaptor. I tried 7.6.…

I want a red one, cuz red goes faster

Sounds like either the thread is all chewed up in the hole on the front panel, or else the screws are out, its just friction on the back panel stopping them falling out. To tell th…

So, I'm trying to get into my Classic II to install some RAM. I have a T-15 driver that will reach the silver screws under the handle. I can take a flashlight, shine it into the …

Seems like a good trade to me. I've always liked the 840AV's and in particular the nice compact case style which has alwaysd struck as both cute and elegant at the same time. Th…

If I had two working examples (I do happily have one), I would pop in a 68-pin scsi and Nubus Jackhammer, and install MacOS 8.1 on one of the machines. A Nubus card like the Spigot…

I did it for a IIe a number of years ago. I mounted the drive under the IIe keyboard and made up a custom cable. Instead of mounting the SCSI cards DB25 on the back I ran it inside…

Oh man, I meant to say AdoptAMac.com was the site. Not We Love macs. Forgive me, I dunno where I got that from. EDIT: I meant to also say that I was getting the 840avs from Chri…

Keep one as the parts machine. We Love Macs was cheaper? Thats..... weird. (we need a raised eyebrow emotican) Click to expand... actually, since the adapter would do greater …

"der PoewrMAClone in der Box" - I like that

I have a II GS with an Apple SCSI card hook to an external HD and ZIP drive. For the moment I have to disconnect the ZIP because it is somehow interfering with the HD, don't know w…

Hi, I have a II GS with an Apple SCSI card hook to an external HD and ZIP drive. For the moment I have to disconnect the ZIP because it is somehow interfering with the HD, don't k…

Am I OK to assume that my problem is there and that this computer won't see more than 2GB anytime soon, not even multiple 2 GB partitions? Click to expand... 1. Mac OS is not r…

Hi, I've been toying with the Acard 7720 SCSI/IDE adaptor http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=23&prod_no=AEC-7720U&type1_title=SCSIDE%20Bridge&am…
