So I just dug my Workgroup Server 7350 out of storage, and wanted to turn it into an actual production server again. Turns out the hard drive toasted itself. So I swapped in a ne…

Haven't noticed anything like that with my two 7300s. They see regular use, however (one is always running and the other is used a lot), so I don't know if that has anything to do …

That's one I've never heard of before

Really nice. The 605 is my favorite Quadra. I had one a while back as well as its cousin the LC 475.

Hello, everyone! Just a friendly note to send to all of you whom own a Macintosh with PCI expansion bus. Just this past week, I've found that all the bus slots on my Power Mac 75…

I'd say your assessment is correct, but that the cleaning (which had to happen) not only helped establish that, but also helped establish that the machine may otherwise be just fin…

I actually spotted that auction on eBay! Nice conquest. :O

My motherboard looks absolutely beautiful and after waiting some extra days as advised I decided to go for it. I reassembled the IIci and it immediately booted up (spontaneously)…

I've tried three floppy drives. 2 are from LCs, 1 from a IIci. They all do the same thing even with different cables. I do have my broken motherboard. Is there a way I can iden…

I've had issues like that when connecting the wrong type of floppy drive to an older machine. Try an older drive, closer to the LC era.

It helps keep things organized if you dedicate machines to specific software/tasks. There are a few machines in my collection I got for free and was about to toss because they loo…

I finally got around during the past couple of days of idleness over the holidays to reassembling the IIfx (in Mac II case) mentioned in the above posts. Some observations: Dirt…

Very nice. Boxed stuff is so rare. I actually have boxes with no corresponding (serial # matched) machines... I have one for a 7600, one for a PowerBook G3, a G3 Tower, and an App…

Have you tried a different cable? Also, have you tried both the cable and drives on a different Mac? If you have, I'd say there's an issue with the SWIM chip.

So I finally got a motherboard replacement for my broken LC, but it has a weird problem. When I connect a floppy drive, it'll constantly try to access the drive. It'll then pop u…

I've never seen that external HDD, that looks cool. Click to expand... It's a floppy drive. The front piece kinda folds down and props the front end of the drive up a bit. Hard…

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300363277979&ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123 I set it up and everything except for the battery works great!!!

Wow! I just heard back from a seller that he's got a 200 mhz board for a PB 3400 for only $20. Can anyone confirm that it's possible to transplant a 200mhz. board into a unit that …

You can modify the Sawtooth motherboard to take a CPU from a Quicksilver, but this requires removal of one of the IDE connectors and the need to wire a +12V line to the CPU. Also …

The processor from a Digital Audio will work. One thing you would have to do is change the cpu multiplier resistors. They tell the processor to run at so many times bus speed. your…

The battery most certainly has bulged. I had bulged (and obviously dead) batteries in all my 1xx conquests. To force the door to slide, +1 for the ruler tip above. Then I'd pull! …

You still interested n selling the parts Lombard? Click to expand... yes, sorry, i had a lot of school work recently, i'll take paypal, and i'll look into usps for the quote …

Are there any faster Apple G4 processors that will work on my Sawtooth besides a dual or single 500mhz module? I've been trolling eBay and see several pulled processors from faste…

Righteous conquest, dude!
