And to answer another question, the inner surface of a compact mac's crt bezel is not all in one plane, unfortunately, so mechanical hacking is needed, too. Click to expand... …

I'm surprised that it is a VGA monitor (and by "VGA" I don't mean simply its resolution, I mean the VGA interface as well). The car-TV monitors I've run into have composite or S-vi…

They should use the same power supply. The II to IIfx upgrade was a motherboard replacement.

whatever the answer is don't toss the original, its issue could just be a leaky cap or burned out regulator, which can be pretty easily repaired by someone trained and safe while w…

I have an lcd, approximately 8 inch VGA monitor (originally a car tv, but it does work as a monitor) it was given to me by one of my friend's dad, and it displays an 800x600 resolu…

Ok it looks like the yellow is outputting about 4V. So I guess the PS is bad. Can I use one from a Mac II or does it have to be a IIfx power supply? Tempest

to continue on the last point there, yes IF you are interested in doing a hack of this nature mobile LCD's are probally the best bet, I used to work at a car audio WD and 7-10 inch…

The upshot is that the only practical way to do this is to find a complete, small LCD monitor with a VGA interface (bonne chance, mon ami). Click to expand... I have an lcd, ap…

I've looked into this on the SE/30. In that case one would want a display approximately 7.25" X 5.25" or something a little larger and then to use less than the full display area…

Yup, the Sonnet dual 1.8 in my MDD is Xserve-compatible.

This is a topic that's been discussed in detail in several different places. The upshot is that the only practical way to do this is to find a complete, small LCD monitor with a VG…

I was strolling through Walmart the other day, and happened to notice the 10" LCD picture frames. 800×600 resolution is not bad. Of course, the first thing that pops into my head…

Is it possible to install a DVD ROM or DVD RAM drive in a Quadra?

have any clue what voltages the power supply is putting out Click to expand... Yea I suspected as much on page one :scrambled: seemed simpler to just test the power t…

Your +12V is bad! We now have a much more narrow set of possible problems. There is probably a problem with your power supply. Try unplugging the power supply from the logic boar…

Ok I can try this tonight. What do you mean by this though? The black wire? 3. Touch the black probe to a pin of the power supply connector that is connected to a black wire. Ho…

Thank you. Is it possible to open original Portable's battery without damaging it? How?

Ummm...there were CPU upgrades for MDD/Xserve http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/XG4D1800/ That's the Sonnet one and I am sure there was another I saw a while bac…

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Hmmm... That's not going to be easy unless you have an 8100/80 to look at. The multiplier on the 100 and 110 MHz machines is three, so if you change the oscillator to 40 MHz, the C…
