"der PoewrMAClone in der Box" - I like that

Am I OK to assume that my problem is there and that this computer won't see more than 2GB anytime soon, not even multiple 2 GB partitions? Click to expand... 1. Mac OS is not r…

Hi, I've been toying with the Acard 7720 SCSI/IDE adaptor http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=23&prod_no=AEC-7720U&type1_title=SCSIDE%20Bridge&am…

found an old advertisment for MaxxBoxx they looked great, like iMacs in colors { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous…

Put them on a shrine and admire their awesomeness? Sell one of them, and set the other one up with a fast and large HDD and use it for analog video capture?

Gonna get together and trade a G4 (Sawtooth) for a pair of Quadra 840AVs. Not sure what the specs are, but I went ahead and ordered a video adapter off of We Love Macs to get read…

I would not "practice" on a IIx board, they are kind of rare. The IIx was not out very long before the IIfx came out and many of the II and IIx systems were upgraded to IIfx boards…

. . . hands down the IIx is a FAR better machine! Back in the day I was shopping for a used Mac II in order to save money. One of the used dealers said I was nuts and that the IIx …

Meh - but it's got the "trickle bug"? It clicks and the keyboard LEDs blink. I can only turn it on by plugging it in and hitting the reset button. I'll look up the procedure for fi…

Excellent news.

Never used one. Although I wouldn't mind a Genesis or MaxBoxx if it came my way. I am in the process of slimming down my collection, so adding new machines would be counter produ…

It's alive! I unplugged and replugged it one more time, hit both reset buttons in front, now it's at the "?" prompt - of course, there are no drives installed. Let's reinstall the …

The left side of the power supply is a little warm, and there is a very slight "electric" smell. Click to expand... Unless it's burning. I would take everything apart, then…

Well, I guess it's been plugged in an hour, maybe a little more. The only thing installed is the power supply and ram. Still nothing. The left side of the power supply is a little…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it? Click to expand... Say an hour? The idea is to make sure the circuitry that…

I will try disconnecting everything. How long should I leave it plugged in before I try to start it?

You can do that I guess, I would just solder in replacement batteries (the leads are fairly long so you will not heat up the battery much unless you are using a blowtorch. I think…

Is there a clicking noise? Any signs of capacitors leaking? Swap power supplies between units.

Have you left them for a while connected to the mains to power on? Have you tried the keyboard poweron button? Have you disconnected floppies and hard disks?

New battery was installed, still *nothing*

Start with the CMOS batteries. My IIx won't start if the batteries are dead.

I recently acquired 2 IIcxs. Both completely dead. Plug them in, press the botton, and absolutely *nothing* happens. I will search, but if anybody has some quick pointers on where …

Can I just snip the leads off near the battery, and leave them attached to the board so I can reuse them to solder to the battery holders? Click to expand... Sounds like a very…
