Very nice, I love the 950 series (have 5 myself). Odd seeing a real WGS95 without the DAT drive, did it still have the PDS SCSI card installed and the optional 5 drive tray? You a…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

I suppose that might make me fire up the se/30 in the garage.. I really need to bring all my macs inside the basement... I had a climate controlled storage area that I recently qui…

Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

...I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that doesn't have it... Click to expand... The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the fo…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

For some reason I can only boot into OS9, if I select OSX in startup disk the mac will chime and it will not output video. Don't know why...

My Quicksilver is currently using a PCI card since it gave up its AGP GeForce2 MX for my Cube. (16MB Rage, but that machine is in server duty and only used over screen sharing,…

I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…

There were a handful of external monitor adapters for the SE but they were nothing like the ones made for the SE/30. One was by Radius for use with their portrait monitor. There wa…

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something?

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…

dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

Look up: Richard Martin Belleville, MI 48111 on LEMswap, he has tons of working g4 macs in lots cheap, pickup only if you are in that area.
