Glad to hear he's OK.  Looks like he'll have to keep a food journal, narrow it down.

A nice find.

Here are the eBay photos of it!

This would be my second PowerBook Duo 230, which I obtained from eBay for a mere $15, sold as-is for parts, as the previous owner could not get it to power on. My guess is they did…

Thanks, and dad says thanks!  He's much better today than he was earlier this week, but the hospital would not release him today. He will be released on Monday. It was something he…

Hi Nicole. Hope your da makes a full recovery girl. Tell him theres a big 'shout out' to him from Ireland and to get himself back here asap - we need his brains!!!! weh hey!

Actually, this is Elfen's youngest daughter Nicole while he is in the hospital with a severe allergy reaction he's recovering from. Dad has taught his girls a great deal about comp…

Cheers Elfen. This machine is 1 of a haul of about 20 macs I got from a guy in cork who spent years 'fiddeling' with macs. When I got there they were all in a mobile home, that wa…

Typical SE, though the scratches and other things on the board looks like somebody tried to tamper or repair it and did not know what they were doing. Fourth pic down, looks like …

Heres a few pictures of an SE I got in a lot last year. The front case is totally smooth. Back case looks like ordinary se case. Don't know whats original or swapped. I opened it…

I was wondering if anyone tried recapping the bad power supply in a PowerMac G5. If that is the problem with them. Is bad caps the cause of so many PowerMac G5 logic board Issues.

It screams of power supply issues. You have no way to say the PSU is in good condition until you are positive the voltage rails are good under load and there is no excessive curren…

I had a similar problem with a /// that went away when reseating (and pushing down) the RAM daugtherboard and all its RAM chips.

True Techknight. But such areas are not always written unless a virus hits the system. The directories are a weak point as they are constantly updated with every file write. but th…

When in doubt, check voltages. If those are OK and stable, then next thing is system RAM. 

I recently bought an Apple /// (256k model), Monitor ///, Disk /// external drive, manuals, and software. All of the units are cosmetically in amazing condition (no yellowing, no k…

Here is the problem with bad blocks in flash. Any flash memory that has a block that is bad, will be corrupt with no chance of error recovery or anything. its just corrupt, marked,…

I've had this setup for about 5 months. I got the Compact Flash card from ebay. It's Amicore brand. This is what it looks like.

It's worth investing in industrial Compact Flash units. They're far more reliable.

SRAM cards in CF format would be great. Too bad they only come in PCMCIA format. But would it solve some problems with CFs? I'm not pointing a finger of blame to anyone here, SSDS…

the compact flash card is starting to go bad.  I have 3 compact flash cards myself, and they are riddled with nothing but problems. They really arnt designed for what we are putti…

About 9 days ago, my 1400cs froze while I was using it so I restarted it and it would no longer boot. I booted off the OS 9 CD and it offered to initialize the disk. I declined and…

More info: A quick google turned up this. Crazy detailed with some compatibility charts linked. It looks like the most common problem you might run into when swapping manufactures …
