SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #3
Does that mean that if you put the Portable ROM in an SE and adjusted some decoding in the GLUE chips to point at the right places the SE could have 8 MB of RAM? I guess you'd also…
Portable Backlit (not backlit) — #2

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #8
That certainly would make some sense electrically if all that is different is a higher ohm rating of the total termination value.
Might have to try that at some point when I have …

IIfx Won't boot — #24
Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…
IIfx Won't boot — #23
id put a multimeter on it and at least see if its putting out 12v and 5v on the drive power lines, regardless on how much power your drawing from it, your not going to get very far…

IIfx Won't boot — #17

IIfx Won't boot — #16

How many have a Powermac G5? — #37
