Clarification would be nice...
Could someone please tell me if there are ANY documented accelerators which work in L2 cache slots which are supposed to be "enabled" after the mach…
The real problem, IMHO, is working out where to put the fan. The existing cooling holes around the handle would be the logical place - if it wasn't for the handle in the way.
I j…
There are rumours that the Sonnet 7200/4400 G3 upgrade - that actually goes into a PCI slot - has been made to work in other machines. IIRC, someone on the 6400zone forums got it …
I don't know if an emulator might work. Hal said he thought it wouldn't wouldn't. A few years back I did try two of the more popular emulators with no success. And I have been told…
I saw in an older thread that you worked with Gamba on the IIfx also.

All I recall is discussing the IIfx ROM with him. It's possible I've forgotten, but as…
I'm not sure which "look" I prefer. I mostly used Apple with monochrome monitors, so I recall the spacing. However, when using Apple2Forever, the large gaps detract some from the…

Also in those machines, you can't run any of the good versions of OS X because of the CPU soldered to the motherboard. OS X can't see any CPU installed beyond the one onboard on th…
The "visible scan lines" on most emulators are overblown, and in general I keep effects like that turned *off*.
First off old monitors, especially color monitors, tended to have b…
the monochrome monitor II does, its just a ntsc mono screen with a heavy shadow mask so the pixels wont bleed together giving the appearance of sharp text
I just swapped in a 6500/250 in my 6360 a few years back. Makes one heck of a "bookshelf server," replacing my old SE/30.
The Apple TV card + remote was just an added bonus!

Yes, the IIsi is also a great machine. I rescued mine from being scrapped at recycling event. It has been a great machine.

Nice save! Mine wasn't quite as fr…
The links I found seem to indicate you can run it from inside an emulated Apple, if it can access the serial ports. Maybe a IIe PDS card even?
BTW, you've inspired me to do somet…
yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones
and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where i…
I had an old pc case fan in my 350MHz iMac G3. I pulled off the connector and stuck the two wires into the positive and negative of the hard drive power plug and just jammed the th…

Datasheet for the M5M27C101JK is here:http://www.io.com/~trag/DataSheet
I thought I had it on my archive drive. I have a last modified date of 2003 on it. I think we're coveri…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…
You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…
I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first.

I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…
I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me.
