Yes - love my 9600 here, still packs a punch. Cheap to upgrade and max out if you take time searching for parts. Problem was of course, the vast amount of machines and similar mo…

Is there much interest in PCI Powermacs these days? Seems like 68K Compacts and Quadras are still popular, and G4 towers and newer are also, what about the 6x00, 7500-9600?

and actually, I think I may have a (unknown working condition) spare! 8-o This is turning out to be just awesome.

There aren't any. Cardbus requires a PCI-based motherboard, and the 1400 is Nubus based.

It's a powered accept/eject mechanism, like a VCR, so yeah, it does. Luckily 99% of the time it's just one cap that's blown

The logic board has circuitry that divides the clock signal in half. I would need to supply a 16MHz clock to the logic board in order to run the processor at 8 MHz.

It could well be, see here for the Duo Dock "click of death" and route of repair: http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/%7Ecleary/computers/duo.html ... if you're new to soldering, I'd pr…

Hmm... does the bad PSU problem prevent the Duo from being loaded into the Dock? I honestly didn't know that. :scrambled: Oh well; I'm about to start being able to solder, so i…

Nice haul - the 7100 is such a solid piece of kit, getting to RAM slots a pain though! The Duo Dock could be suffering from the common bad power supply problem, or it could be the…

Ebay seller macmetex is still stocking the 540c 33MHz CPU modules for like a buck for two. They're a drop-in replacement, and he's a reliable guy.

I hate to bring this back up Click to expand... No, please do. I'm looking forward to further updates on this project. what other effects would I see by bumping up the …

Browsing on the 1400 when connecting with an Ethernet card via the PC Card slot is always going to be slow, because it is a 16 bit card cage. I know there is an internal ethernet …

I hate to bring this back up, but I have a couple of questions I hope can be answered. Since the frequency is related to baud rates and the serial ports are really all but useless…

I'm going to get this off a LEMSwap member. Specs of the PM 7100: Radius video card 56 MB RAM No HD (but HD sled included) CD-ROM Manuals and software The Duo Dock apparentl…

Already have most of those bases covered. The PB was already upgraded to 20MB when I bought it used in 2000. Also have the 10baseT transciever and an external 4X SCSI drive with th…

Cool! Any ideas on what else you are gonna do with it? I turned mine into a webserver: http://coius.info:8080/ I would suggest, max out the RAM, fine an external CD-ROM drive, a…

I booted-up the old PB 520c last night - still working fine (except for the 5 minute battery life). I cracked open a copy of Mac Attack, which I bought at a clearance sale for $2.9…

WannaBe is great to use with the Orinoco card - much faster than IE or Netscape in the 1400. I've enjoyed using it! Soon, I hope to try double-stacking my RAM cards to get one of t…

The noise issue is a common complaint... I used my 700MHz eMac for occasional recording and solved the problem quite easily by hanging a thick fuzzy towel on the wall behind it.

Oh GAWD. My 700mhz eMac wails like a get being sent through a wood chipper! (Not really but you get the idea... :rambo: ) I must admit the 1.25 ghz leaky caps one in the lab s…

eMacs are loud? WTF? Every single eMac I have ever used (it's got to be over 50 by now) has been very quiet. These are mostly 1.25 and 1.42 GHz, so maybe the older models were dif…

That's about the standard price for kits that I've seen on ebay - or even less! And as they mostly ship from Hong Kong or mainland China, it ends up cheaper for us southerners. I…

Yes, the hdd is on the sled. But I resolved the issue by breaking off the plastic tab. So the front bezel is back on, hooked on by the remaining plastic tab on the left side. No…

Nicely done! A 1MB cache for a 6/7/8100 is my parts "Eleanor"

You'll pay through the nose at Wegener. No offense to them - it's the same at most of the retails webstores for old parts. Best to post a want ad in the Trading Post here.
