i think i might have made some progress. i reseated the daughter card, and now when i strike a key on the keyboard the power indicator light flashes green for under a second. is th…

Well I wound up using the top half of that checkboarding system with the bottom half of the other one. The second system's LCD was very blueish and non functional. I tried using th…

That sucks. and with the PB with the checkerboard screen, try taking out the installed RAM card (if there is one). the SCSI hard drives are also not too difficult to find if y…

I have tried tapping the 80MB drive but no change occurred. Considering it a lost drive I also tried more forceful hits and still no effect.

Thanks for the advice. My concern about the 575 is that it has the monitor attached...I'd like to get by without it! Thus my question about putting the 575 mobo in a different case…

It would be a good idea to give the 80 MB HD a gentle, but hefty slap on the top.

I'm not aware of any way to make an LC575 "headless", and getting an external monitor supported on such a machine is also a bit fraught. You could always consider putting the LC57…

That would be the board that shipped with the WOZ edition IIgs, so somebody with a dead Woz might want it. All in all it is the least wanted revision (3 being the best, 1 being the…

I'd go with the 575...it's convenient and compact, and offers everything that the 605 and the 475, with the addition of the comm-slot.

a 575 offers a very nice monitor, and is identical to the Quadra 605 in all respects except that you can add ethernet without taking the LC PDS slot. The 575 motherboard uses a co…

Ermm... Guy's you have a whole forum for the G5... Yet you choose to hi-jack this thread. So in light of 64bit applications, how does your discussion contribute to my problem solvi…

I suppose a peek inside to look for a PRAM battery could be in order. There may also be some sort of reset button situated internally. You never know. Few of us have ever even s…

Well looks like that may very well be a typo, the only alternative name I've found for Outbound's laptop is "RealTech Travler."

They wrongly called it the "Outback"! Click to expand... Perhaps the specific model is called Outback? Click to expand... Possible. Though typos like that were not unheard…

They wrongly called it the "Outback"! Click to expand... Perhaps the specific model is called Outback?

According to Wikipedia, Outbound was NOT an Australian company - which a lot of people said it was. :-/

Apparently just pressing any key on the keyboard should power it up. http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Outbound-laptop-ftopict7833.html

Nice! Which models?

I think about ten desktops and ten portables - most working Culling is good. JB

How many macs do you have?

I found it. It's on page 486, but it doesn't say how to turn it on. They wrongly called it the "Outback"!

I think I remember reading how to turn it on in MacWorld MacSecrets 5th Edition for some reason. I know that they do talk about that laptop in that book and the straw.
