Is the motherboard onboard cache disabled or enabled? When I had an 8500 and a NewerTech card if I ran the onboard cache alongside the CPU cache I would have some of the same issu…

This site requires turning off stylesheets when viewed with Classilla 9.0 (View->Use Style->None), each time the link is opened in a fresh window/tab. It's somewhat i…

I had a PB100 that did the exact same thing - weird flickering screen/static noises and needed a firm slap on the 2.5" SCSI drive before it span up after years of not being turned …

Excellent. For some reason I didn't think to change the style, even though I've done it on other boards for this very reason. Argh

Change your theme to SubSilver and it works fine.

Ok, the title of this topic is maybe not the most original… sorry for that! I recently conquered a "dead" PowerBook 100 which cost me next to nothing. It came with its power brick…

I can tell you that it very seldom works on a Wallstreet.... Resetting the battery can be done in Open Firmware, I gather, on a Pismo. Mind you, it hasn't worked for my Pismo's de…

Congrats on the iBook! I've always wanted to get one of those myself.

Nice, I have always wanted one of the brighter colors. I got my 2 from my school, Blueberry and Graphite. Clamshell's are the coolest design ever. Click to expand... If I wasn'…

Out of curiousity... have any of you ever used BatteryReset 2.0 on a Lombard? If so, were you successful at fixing a battery? I've got a Pismo and a battery that refuses to take a…

Thanks to eBay, I'm now the very proud owner of a tangerine clamshell iBook. It came with all of its original packaging and install CDs so I had my own exciting little unboxing. I…

I know the one i have which is also an adaptec, but the consumer model and slightly newer is automatically picked up xp

Wow I believe this is one of those posts that should be backed up and archived.

I was very lucky, but it goes to show how proprietary RAM modules - must have some "play" in them to be mass produced for slightly different computers. So that's another unique th…

Wow - very impressive! Well done.

Great news - I was able to hack my 3400 128MB module to work on the Kanga! It surprised me that the 3400 128MB module didn't work - considering that the 32MB Apple module worked…

From memory it's doubtfull that 128Mb simms would work... Still I'd love to hear that it did work... I record video with my 840av sometimes & the more memory the better..…

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I run NetBSD on a number of m68k machines, and having just one machine which can compile those huge packages (…

I found that earlier, but wans't sure which to download. I'm dual booting XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm thinking the Vista drivers might work with 7. Windows' generic drivers…

this is what google pops up http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi/2940/AHA-2940AU/ the 2000 driver should work fine on windows 2000 and 32 bit xp, if it is not just a generi…
