SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #2

That's an interesting notion, but I kind doubt its application in the "real world," but I've been wrong before. If you want to address more RAM in the SE, watch eBay for one of the…

IIfx Won't boot — #12

I took out all the memory and I still get the chime, but no keyboard click or light flash. There are two different brands of memory stick in the machine. Four of each NEC 42100…

IIfx Won't boot — #11

Already tried resetting the PRAM (got the second Chime) and reseating all the RAM and the ROM. Nothing. I have a disk in the drive, that's what I'm trying to boot from, but it ne…

IIfx Won't boot — #10

My guess is that it's not even getting to the point in the boot sequece where it tries to read from a floppy. Video would defintely help here. It seems to be past the ADB check sin…

Pismo Accident...Ugh...What Should I Expect? — #4

I haven't specifically killed a Pismo, I killed a Classic 2 and PB 150, by rushing, which you and I alike have done. I know nothing about Pismo's save for that they are nice powern…

IIfx Won't boot — #9

Tried the PRAM reset again, no dice. I suppose the disk drive could be bad, but its not even hitting once. It's like the system is just sitting there waiting for something.

IIfx Won't boot — #8

Make sure you get at least to the third chime when resetting the PRAM. Not everything is reset only on the second chime. We also can't rule out a bad floppy drive. Do you have a…

IIfx Won't boot — #7

BTW what does the jumper at J103 and J106 do (towards the front center of the board)? There's no Jumper on 103 but there is on 106. Tempest

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #7

I've heard that you can use two normal terminators in a row and it acts similar to a black terminator on the IIfx. I don't have a citation for this though.

IIfx Won't boot — #5

I was under the impression that the IIfx had NO electrolytics on the logic board. I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember. I know for sure that the Quadra 700 doesn'…

IIfx Won't boot — #4

Leaking capacitors do not usually explode; they usually leak a barely visible (as in, transparent) conductive liquid which spreads widely, being oily. The solution to this is (a) …

How many have a Powermac G5? — #36

In what ways, specifically, did the G5 outperform the mini? I don't think anybody actually said that things which were completely disk-bound would be better on a mini, although I d…

IIfx Won't boot — #3

Can you explain a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean by 'wash the logic board' (unless you mean physically cleaning it with some sort of cleaner). Tempest

IIfx Won't boot — #2

This behaviour sounds just like that of my 840av before I washed the logic board. (I know, it needs new caps really.) Much a-goo about everything, as it turned out, though on first…

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #5

I read on here a couple of months ago from one of the resident technologoi that the termination supplied by later 50-pin scsi drives is usually sufficient for a IIfx; the black ter…
