If you do not have anything connected to the built-in video (you don't, do you, even a Mac-to-VGA adapter counts here) then the Mac should detect this and default the start-up scre…

I'm old-skool. And no, I didn't think so, but thought I'd ask.

Probably not. BTW, the 9500 uses DIMMs not SIMMs.

Am I right in assuming, from the replies, that no one thinks that putting in the two RAM SIMMs affected the 9500's condition?

OK thats all I needed to know

You can try it, I have.... it won't hurt anything.......but it won't work either.

Yeah those are what I see on mine... So Can I just try it out for fun or will my iMac s'plode?

I'm at uni now, and all my Macs at home, so I can't power up my iMac for confirmation, but I'm fairly sure I remember that the iMac supports these resolutions, ONLY at these refres…

Thank you for the links. I had seen the Miniscribe 8425 photos some time ago, but that drive doesn't look like the drive used in my Hyperdrive Mac. Note how flat the top casing i…

Most of the Hyperdrives I've seen had MiniScribe mechanisms, which have 2 LEDs on the front panel, green for power OK / ready, and red for activity. Click to expand... Thank yo…

I've never delved very deep into an InstaTower before, but I'd imagine that if nothing else, there'd be an amplifier in there, since not only is there a knob on the back for adjust…

subwoofer Click to expand... Something I've wondered about - what, apart from the motherboard, is actually required to run the subwoofer? In other words, can the sub be transp…

Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDI…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine.

Yeah, my 9500's case is pretty much trashed. :-/

There were two MMIs, Microcomputer Memories Inc. (hard disks) and Monolithic Memories Inc. (chips). As the label on your disk says, it was made by MMI in Van Nuys, California, a sm…

My 9500 had the whole back piece fall off because all the plastic holding it to the shell broke off. The 6 case screws are the only things holding the back on now.

how much further can ANY software company go with OS's... I mean really OS's are ment to RUN programs... Look at some people who are still running OS 6 on a mac classic or a SE/30…

I don't think that's a Hyperdrive 512k but if it is the Hyperdrive is probably still in there - it'd be way more effort to remove one than to leave it in. I have a Plus with a Hyp…

I wanted to use it with my macs :'(

Aren't the Monitor and computer two different sub-systems? When I took apart the iMac there was a DB-15 connector connecting to the iMac Logic Board/ Click to expand... The bui…

The 9500 is possibly the worst of the PCI PowerMac family, owing to case inaccessibility. Click to expand... Indeed. Getting out the motherboard is a real pain. The plastic is …
