Well, I got the second Mac to connect. Didn't have to do anything, actually. I left it in sleep over the weekend with the cord plugged in, logged back in today and it automatically…

Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Click to expand... Fastmac offers this upgrade for slot-loading models (for $200 8-o ). They ha…

Seems like it has already done the rounds of forums Just found this when searching the serial number: SG0140FLJ7B http://www.macuser.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=299402&hi…

That upgrade doesn't look like it includes the SCSI controller and only has 512k on the board. The seller needs to add more pictures to make it more clear what's included.

Folks, unless you want this merely to say you've added "a Dove board to your collection," you'd be better off with a true Mac Plus. Seriously. Besides, there's a Dove upgrade boa…

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the mach…

Which model PBG3? IIRC, they all used different model battery packs for some of the PBG3s. However, if it's a Lombard or Pismo, they both used the same model PRAM battery. I thi…

Fans will do that over time. Dust and dirt accumulates on the vanes of the fan and throw it out of balance which stresses the motor and bearings. Keeping them clean will increase t…

The Dove board fitted over the existing RAM. I'm not quite sure how, but everything I've seen about it says it snaps into place on top of the existing RAM chips. The Dove upgrade c…

I read that as 2MB of RAM with SCSI from the auction. Was the 512ke able to go that high without a Mac Plus logic board swap?

Ok I'll try the steel wool. I tried a pencil eraser but it didn't seem to help. The contacts on one seem to be a bit corroded or damaged so that's probably the issue. Tempest

Couldn't value it at the time so paid the scrap value for the Airport Card, RAM and plastics

That's an unexpected bonus! What was the cost?

$400?!? Dang.. He/she should have at least made it open to bidding, and started a little lower. Then he/she would be fairly likely to get that. But with a simple buy-it-now at …

just something to try ...scuffing the contacts lightly with some fine grit steel wool, works better than pencil eraser on mismatched "settled in" parts, but its dust is highly cond…

If these SIMMs are all identical, then at least 1 of the 4 is dirty or bad. Check to see if the numbers on the actual chips match from SIMM to SIMM. If they're different at all, …

Bought a Flower Power iMac G3 that turned out to have a G4 upgrade inside. It started out as a Snow G3 400 but over time has had many parts added/swapped out including the casing …

Yes I found it. When I put the 'bad' set of RAM in I get a normal chime but then nothing happens (the OS never loads). When I stick a good set in the other bank I get the chimes …

and the other 4 appear to be bad (the Mac won't boot with them in), but I assume they're also 1MB sticks. Click to expand... If the RAM is bad, the Mac should make a death chim…

The machine has chew marks on it from someone opening the case improperly in the past. It also has a noticeable deep scratch in the front plastic, just about the CRT. It is also …

PDS required that the SE had a Slot Manager Click to expand... I don't think so. Slot Manager was for 68020 and later Macs, I think, not for 68000 Macs, whether they had a PDS …

What is the voltage supposed to be? I am reading 3.06v and 3.04v.

Well I finally got the IIfx working. Turns out both of my SuperDrives are bad (not sure if they're fixable) but I had a spare working HD so I was able to get it to boot into Syste…

Wow! It will be interesting to see how high that one goes. Quite amazing to see all of the original packaging, etc.!
