Geez you're doing alright! :O Nice machine, looks in good original condition with no yellowing, too. Did you get the disks for all the applications listed on the box?
What/ where is the text file for the Voodoo cards? I have a Voodoo 5 that one of these days will run an LCD; it'd be handy to have the details squirreled away for that purpose.

If you have a 3dfx VooDoo 3, 4, or 5 video card, the resolutions available for the OS are contained in a simple text file that you can modify. I thought it was pretty nifty, you c…

Thanks JRL,
I will wait until New Years Eve so that I can maybe get a second official boot in for the 2000-2009 decade.
That makes a total of at least a good 8 days in dry winter…

The failure to power up may be caused by corrupt NVRAM brought on by a flat battery, as the earlier posters suggest. However, the crashing you experienced is probably a heat sink…
Would anyone be willing to work on cap replacement on Mac Plus analog boards? If not I may just have to teach myself how to fix these things and start a service of my own. I love…
Speaking of Rhapsody, myself and a few other people are working on a free Rhapsody OS. We also have support forums for Rhapsody as well (Apple's versions). We haven't achieved mu…
Just to warn you, Rhapsody is *VERY* picky with its hardware. Your board uses a VIA chipset, so likely will not work with Rhapsody. (Rhapsody officially dropped Intel support bef…

Update: My daughter LOVES Math Rabbit. I think I'll have to find some other vintage age-appropriate games for her. Maybe I'll get her started on LOGO Turtle, and get her programm…

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises.

Just my opinion, but I reckon it would be a good idea to keep the original board in case you ever decide to…
I finally cleaned my IIci motherboard. I used a large diameter bucket with Alconox detergent mixed with warm water. It really brightened things up. It worked so well actually th…

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models?

This is very good news because I just bought a 128mb 72pin simm module. I bought an entire LC 550 machine today, so I can pull the board out of that when I receive it, put that int…

I'm fairly sure the guts of the 575 and 550 (apart from the logic board of course) are pretty much identical. The displays are the same (which is the most important factor), so it …
