When I put the 1ghz G4 in my 7500 it wouldn't power up at first. It's a good thing I got an instruction manual because in the manual it says when you remove the old CPU you have to…

http://cgi.ebay.com/PowerLogix-Black-G4-Cube_W0QQitemZ120539575325 WTF?

When I first tried to power it up the PS would only click and the PS fan would make a feeble attempt to run. Thought I had been screwed with a DOA, but after some head scratching …

Can you temporarily install an internal ethernet network card and see if that will establish a connection online? If it does work, chances are it could be the ethernet port on the…

Hi, me again. We have a Quicksilver G4 at my school, and I've recently set it up as a browsing machine. If I'm correct, its a 933 MHz Model with 128 MB RAM, not 100% sure on the H…

Picked up a 9600 G4/800 today, 512 MB Ram, a 4 GB SCSI drive and a 10 GB IDE drive driven off an IDE/USB/Firewire card. Radeon 7000 Video card and the usual floppy and CD drives. …

In every instance since the late 1980s, CPUs are faster than memory, which is why the CPU speed is decoupled from memory speed. But using one clock base to drive memory and CPU jus…

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed. Click to expand... That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator …

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed. Click to expand... My only experience is with the Crescendo Nubus G3 cards and the automatic configuration of their …

That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator crystal to which the memory and processor must obey. In Apple IIs and the early Mac…

I definitely wouldn't recycle it... I'm sure you can find *someone* to take it off your hands.

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed.

I'd either hang onto it or sell it, definitely don't recycle it...I don't think StarMax's are all that common (well at least they're not here in Australia anyway, none of the clone…

Don't the Sonnet upgrades automatically increase in speed depending on the bus speed? The 7600/120 has a 40 MHz bus, while the 7600/132 has a 44 MHz bus, so I think the upgrade is…

So you have the tower version... Nice. Yes, it's nice to have the ability to use standard, easy to find drives yet still have access to SCSI stuff (like my DDS tape drive). It'll …

603e processor is soldered to the logic board. It is a very odd beast, something like a 4400, but with five PCI slots (in a riser card), an SVGA port, both ADB and PS/2 keyboard c…

Lucky you.

Do these use CPU cards or are they soldered to the motherboard?

I have one I found in the trash in NYC in the late 1990s. I installed NetBSD on it and now it does NAT / IPv6 tunneling / DNS / NFS / NTP stratum 1 time / DDS-3 tape backups and ot…

When I first bought them, they were around $150. For a while they weren't available for less than $200, but it seems the price is a little more reasonable now, back to what I paid:…

I've always wanted a Starmax.

Ought I to keep the StarMax 3000/200 clone I recently acquired, or offer it up to the recycling gods? Alternatively, is there anyone here who wants it for a clone collection? It's…

The base reference is a 5400 RPM 300 gig Hitachi HTS54323 2.5" SATA drive connected via an Acard ARS-2000SU SATA to UltraSCSI adapter / case. Click to expand... Hello! That's e…

I have two LCIIIs, none of them have any wires or anything whatsoever, however they are fairly late model LCIIIs, both manual-inject models, and both with October 1993 build dates.

All I can find is a black stamp that probably reads "9B", a bar code and serial number of sorts "*B13020Q5EN6B* SINGAPORE VAIL", and printed on the logic board PCB "APPLE COMPUTER …
