Any ideas on the spontaneous bootup and the lack of "influence" via the ADB? Could the power supply also have issues? I do have a spare but it is about the exact age as the other…

Oh, the WGS is the 'hub' of my new testbench. I have an AAUI-to-10BaseT adapter that has a built-in 3 port hub connected (so I don't need a dedicated hub on the testbench,) and ha…

Haven't noticed anything like that with my two 7300s. They see regular use, however (one is always running and the other is used a lot), so I don't know if that has anything to do …

That's one I've never heard of before

Really nice. The 605 is my favorite Quadra. I had one a while back as well as its cousin the LC 475.

I'd say your assessment is correct, but that the cleaning (which had to happen) not only helped establish that, but also helped establish that the machine may otherwise be just fin…

I actually spotted that auction on eBay! Nice conquest. :O

My motherboard looks absolutely beautiful and after waiting some extra days as advised I decided to go for it. I reassembled the IIci and it immediately booted up (spontaneously)…

I've tried three floppy drives. 2 are from LCs, 1 from a IIci. They all do the same thing even with different cables. I do have my broken motherboard. Is there a way I can iden…

I've had issues like that when connecting the wrong type of floppy drive to an older machine. Try an older drive, closer to the LC era.

It helps keep things organized if you dedicate machines to specific software/tasks. There are a few machines in my collection I got for free and was about to toss because they loo…

I finally got around during the past couple of days of idleness over the holidays to reassembling the IIfx (in Mac II case) mentioned in the above posts. Some observations: Dirt…

Very nice. Boxed stuff is so rare. I actually have boxes with no corresponding (serial # matched) machines... I have one for a 7600, one for a PowerBook G3, a G3 Tower, and an App…

Have you tried a different cable? Also, have you tried both the cable and drives on a different Mac? If you have, I'd say there's an issue with the SWIM chip.

I've never seen that external HDD, that looks cool. Click to expand... It's a floppy drive. The front piece kinda folds down and props the front end of the drive up a bit. Hard…

You can modify the Sawtooth motherboard to take a CPU from a Quicksilver, but this requires removal of one of the IDE connectors and the need to wire a +12V line to the CPU. Also …

The processor from a Digital Audio will work. One thing you would have to do is change the cpu multiplier resistors. They tell the processor to run at so many times bus speed. your…

The battery most certainly has bulged. I had bulged (and obviously dead) batteries in all my 1xx conquests. To force the door to slide, +1 for the ruler tip above. Then I'd pull! …

You still interested n selling the parts Lombard? Click to expand... yes, sorry, i had a lot of school work recently, i'll take paypal, and i'll look into usps for the quote …

Righteous conquest, dude!

That, is really awesome! Congrats, and I hope that there will be good unboxing pictures! Even if, as it looks like, it's been unboxed before. [] ]'>

You've got a PM Click to expand... You still interested n selling the parts Lombard? John

I don't know, it hasn't shipped yet. I'll find out soon. I'm not too worried about the software since Apple put up System 7 for free. I also have 2 copies of System 7.1 on fl…
