Visible on the logic board beneath the modem is what appears to be an unused set of solder pads for a SODIMM socket for VRAM expansion. Too bad Apple left it out, or we could rock …
Apple's late-model CRT-based systems seem to have numerous problems like this. I've got an original iMac with a failing flyback, and one of the original B&W G3 companion di…
The thermal paste in the AlBooks is reminiscent of concrete sludge: it's thick and gray and kind of grainy. If you start having problems (crashes, etc) with your machine, you might…
Wallstreets:
Available fixed-resolution 12" STN, 13.3" TFT, and 14.1" TFT displays. I've read that 12.1" TFT was a later option, but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.
Very low-…
That's a "Macintosh" sticker on the face of that Mac in the EBAY auction. You can see how the right side of it is reflecting in the sun. The real question at this point is, WHY p…
I second H3NRY's thoughts...that sticker definitely looks like it says, "Macintosh" for me, and looks exactly the same as said sticker on the back of my M0001.
Little known fact of the 350's, they can run tiger natively. Even apple says so.

Hi there. My IIci has a Radius DirectColorGX. The internal video does not work with my VGA monitor and adaptor. But I plugged in my VGA-Mac Adaptor to the Radius Card, and voila it…

Just one thing to remember about trayloading iMacs: If you use it regularly, expect the monitor to lose its flyback transformer within a year or two. I gave away my Rev. B (same th…

The problem is finding CF cards which support the ATA standard. The most common place to find information about which cards are suitable is the iPod world, because lots of people r…
I'm not familiar with the PowerPump, but in my experience Quadra 700s don't overclock well at all. I remember I was able to get one to 30 MHz, but not to 33 MHz, so I decided to pu…

Toward the bottom of the page is a photo of the Hyperdrive label I remember. Anybody here have a Hyperdrive? Working?
careful. It might be the inverter itself. I have had cases where you push on the inverter and it will work. Usually a cold joint, but I would go find an inverter. it should be c…

Ya know, what that looks like is an original "Macintosh" sticker from the back of an early 128K. Maybe this was upgraded to 512, in which case you got a new "Macintosh 512K" sticke…
Weren't HyperDrive labels red text? I'd bet that is a dealer's sticker. I can't make out what the label on the auctioned Mac says. It's likely that if there was once a HyperDrive i…
It is most likely the analog board/ flyback transformer/ some other mysterious item in the dark depths of the machine that is faulty, as fiddling with the jumpers as per the variou…
Yeah, that's what all the hype over the hyperdrive is about! It's an internal hdd for
the 512k.
I believe JDW has one.
Check the flickr 68kmla group you'll find it. Or

Ah gotcha. I figured that was what you might be pointing to. But I guess that sticker is useless without the HyperDrive though...
