Well, that got my attention. Can a dual G54/500MHz processor go in a Cube without serious surgery?

Interesting...pooh, I hope it's not the VRAM but we shall see. If it's a dead duck, I'll repost...get the parts somewhere useful. I expect this is a 180mhz. because it's only comi…

My understanding is that water was used in the factory for cleaning the boards after assembly, and so that it has to be reasonably safe to use water still. Most likely there will b…

I've decided how I am going to clean the motherboard. I'm going to use Alconox. From their website: (Notice it mentions circuit boards!) http://www.alconox.com/static/section_to…

noidentity, I was able to download the driver today. It is working great on my TT128 at 1680x1050. Thanks again, Mike

Did the 1.42s come as FW400? I've only seen the 1.25s as FW400, though I imagine you could just get the 1.42 out of one of the FW800s and bolt it in. Click to expand... In my c…

My setup works fine on that B&W, I have a Radeon video card in the 66mhz PCI slot (the model with the fan before they started naming them 7000 and took out T&L). I …

OK, here is the promised story: I purchased my first Mac, a IIci in November 1990. I had been using IBM PCs (XTs and ATs) for the 5 years prior that I spent as a student at The O…

It should say on the fan I would expect it to be 12V dc thanx for the comments michael

It can be replaced, but you will have to open the power supply to do it, obiously you should have it unplugged, but there's some hefty filter capacitors on the AC side that can pac…

I'm happy with my B&W G3 with maxed out RAM (1 GB), upgraded 1.1 GHz processor (well, it's advertised as 1 GHz but the setting goes to 11, er, I mean 1.1), and OS 9.2.2. I'…
