As long as you do not need much expansion you could put some of the RAM from the 7100 into the 6100 and use the 6100.(they both use the same 72pin in pairs of 2 right?) Alternativ…

turn it into a thin mac, just make a case and order a mini vga to norm cable and go to town!

When I got my first new PowerPC, it was a toss up between a 6100 or a 6200+ethernet, the prices were very similar. I choose badly and went for the 6200 and ever since wished I had…

Both are very loaded. Both are in a match to earn my favor. Its a death match between beige macs. 7100: 80mhz 601 & 512k Cache Maximum RAM 1gb HD OS 7.6 No CD ROM St…

They're "available" in the sense that they exist. The normal sources are parts scavenged from other units. There are three chips in toto -- two ROMs, and one "SWIM" chip. You ne…

You didn't need the rework station, and you shouldn't need solder paste. Some irons, tweezers, good tin lead solder, and a desoldering braid are good enough for replacing surface m…

OK I just tested it with another LCD and it works fine. Its my Dad's LCD so I can't use it much. YAY!

A IIgs power supply will physically fit in a IIe. Late model IIe's used the same power supply as the IIgs though with a different power connector. So to use a IIgs power supply the…

Don't forget that the 6200 series will display nothing if a dead PRAM battery is installed, test it with a multimeter to make sure it is near 3.6 volts. Click to expand... Not …

Hope you can find one. I used to own a IIe and burned up maybe 3 power supplies over the course of 5 years of ownership until I finally found one which seemed more stable. Then I d…

Yeah I forgot to test the CRTs... I am going to try another LCD. And I think the PRAM is good, would it chime if it was bad?

Ooops! Missed one other thing - looks like C12 is in a different location (the other side of the ROM slot) Cheers again!

Also, that person should'a sold their "G4 from 1997." Now *there's* a prototype! Click to expand... But this one has to be a prototype too...I mean, its a 1989 Classic - from t…

I don't know, in the picture it looks positively virginal and pristine. If it's as nice as it looks, it will save a lot of scrubbing and such.

Man, I would'a sold you my Classic II (non-yellowed, 80meg HDD, 10 megs RAM) for around $50 mate Also, that person should'a sold their "G4 from 1997." Now *there's* a prototype…

I redid mine using just a normal soldering iron, and yea a few are in a tight spot but it is doable. Maybe I should ebay mine with "new capacitors" in the header Actually it i…
