I'm running a Power Mac 7500 with a Sonnet Crescendo G3/500, 224MB RAM, 2 SCSI hard drives and Mac OS 9.1. It has been a faithful machine to me for the past 5 years. I will be lo…

My Sawtooth won't turn on! I have replaced every component other than the logic board and power supply with spares. When I press the power button, nothing happens. Is it the logic …

I'll try to take a picture. I don't own a camera, but I can borrow one from work.

I kind of love the PCI PPC era because of the clones. Apple's decisions in this era as far as chassis layout and design is enough to make anyone dislike them on that basis alone an…

Turned out great. Click to expand... Thanks for sharing a photo. :O

I successfully applied the hires 640x480 hack on my Color Classic. I've never even soldered before. Turned out great. My next step is to solder on a resister so I can expan…

So MLA, what should I do with it? Click to expand... Well, it's certainly a good candidate for a mod. Considering how many Mac Pluses there are out there, I would suggest that …

Nope. No red button. Only two buttons near the PRAM battery.

How do you reset the MoBo? Click to expand... If memory serves me right, there is a red button that is labeled "PRAM RESET" on the motherboard. While the G3 is unplugged, hold …

Yes but the one near the processor Lights up and then turns off. This makes me think its the processor. Well whatever if it is. At the lab we have a few 350MHZ ZIFs How do you res…

er... get a ROM flasher and some ROM chips, and make ROMs?

I have a dead Macintosh Plus (early non-Platinum) just sitting here. I think for the most part a lot of it works, despite the PSU being a little bit flaky due to bad joints and the…

Hmm, I tested it with some RAM and it did the same. No display. Just powers up HDs and Drives.There are many lights on the Mobo. Click to expand... Are the motherboard lights g…

Where do you search on Freecycle (what area)? Click to expand... Youngstown Freecycle is where I look, havn't been lucky there in a while nor have I posted in a while looking. …

I have a 7300 180mhz with 552MB (4x 128MB, 1x16MB, 3x 8MB) RAM and a 2GB SCSI and 7200 120mhz with 2GB and probably 32MB RAM. Both are basically useless to me so hopefully they're …

Not a Mac per se, but were it not for my wife I would probably still have my Motorola StarMax 4000 MT PCI Mac clone. Fantastic machine IMO. I was very pleased with it for the tim…

To my mind, the PCI Macs are at the point that Nubus Macs were at about a decade ago. They're cheap or free to pick up, and as the standard is now deprecated, you can pick up inte…

I finally got around and put in a new battery: it did the trick. No more double chime/reboot.

Can't say I ever seen a complete computer out on trash day / but they do tend to end up on freecycle. Click to expand... I've never seen a computer on the curb here either (Spr…

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. Click to expand... That modul…

About 10 years ago someone was selling an LC prototype case. I remember wishing I had the money for it. It was transparent green and pink. It had two floppy drive slots. It did…
