Greatest Tip Shop score EVER!!!!!!!!! Sage iMac DV+!!! — #31
Nice score! I got my original beige plus from a Lyons club (junk) store a while back. $5 with a keyboard and mouse. Even though it's power unit has since failed, it's still being t…

Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #5
The big advantage of a 40MHz bus, so I hear, is that it puts it into lockstep with the 10MHz Nubus. This has been alleged elsewhere to improve Nubus performance.
SE/30 VRAM Capacity W/ 24 Bit Addressing? — #4
It is often mentioned in articles that describe how to directly access the VRAM (indeed, such articles are the first hits for "swapmmumode quickdraw" in Google), because in that ca…
Deep IIci rejuvenation, possible ROM select problem — #27
Yes, I would like to do some disassembly but I don't have the proper tools right now. I would appreciate if you could point me toward this software you mentioned if you can rememb…

Use crazy glue and stick the ripped off pad back to the board, let dry. Put a small drop of flux in the crack between the traces and solder a bridge, then solder the capacitor to t…
Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #4
There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…
Deep IIci rejuvenation, possible ROM select problem — #26
Dennis, I think it looks great! That's a nice mod. Useful too, if you start modifying the ROM code.
Are you thinking about doing any disassembly? I ran across mention of a dis…
SE/30 VRAM Capacity W/ 24 Bit Addressing? — #3
Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…

just scrape some soldermask off of the trace with a knife and be careful
LC Motherboard — #10
Well, I tried recapping and, of course, one of the pads came off. I now have three useless LC motherboards.

Well, I didn't get to enjoy it for long. I packed it all up and got it shipped off to the "storage fac…

The last time Rufus the cat caught an early morning mouse, he left the severed head on the floor in my room for my eve…
Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #35
Because the extension improves performance greatly, enabling all the optimizations available. When I boot with my Sonnet G3 400 MHz in an 8500 without any extensions, everything ru…
LC Motherboard — #9
I haven't been able to check the lone parts LC that I have; sorry.
But maybe the motherboard caps leaked while it was in the box. It's certainly possible, given the age of the …
Greatest Tip Shop score EVER!!!!!!!!! Sage iMac DV+!!! — #30
LUCKY! :O :O
The Goodwill here has few computer-related things most of the time, but there was one time where I went there, and they had probably 20-30 computers in total. Onl…
Greatest Tip Shop score EVER!!!!!!!!! Sage iMac DV+!!! — #29
Yeah, I've since loaded it up on my machine, and I'll agree, it runs beautifully. I've even installed my copy of iWork '08 on there, and since learnt that "G4/500 required" is mere…

Tiger runs like a peach on my 600MHz slotloader. Just throwing that out there
Nice score by the way! I've fallen in love with my iMac in the short time I've had it thus far - i…
512ke rare? — #28
No. The Plus' Agency label is centered and the port indent area is double in height. Apple did that on the Plus to allow third party connectors which the original design forced App…

That's a Plus rear bucket that's had the 512Ke labels stuck on it, no?
512ke rare? — #26
Hold on a tick, how exactly did they modify the port area? It looks custom to the Plus layout and doesn't look like the usual kludged together kind of mod. I don't think I have see…

I've gotten deals before.

If $35 exceeds one's budget for a vintage Mac, EBAY is certainly not the place to be shopping! I paid $25 plus shipping in the past simply for 128k ROMs pulled from a Mac Plus log…

Well, it went over my budget. I may want a //c mouse, but not *THAT* badly.
