I had a Quadra 700 in 2007 I got from the high school I was in at the time. It had a Farallon 10baseT transceiver like one of the ones mentioned here. Had Mac OS 8.1 with Apple Bui…

I think the jury is out.

Juror22 - any luck on this?

I think you got it spot on, Gorgonops. With a stuck bit counter, it would not access the ROM properly.

I worked admin years ago.  FreeBSD from the command line.  Then linux from the command prompt.  No GUI yet.   Every time I updated apache, sendmail, you name it, I would break the …

If you haven't already bought a TiBook, don't. They're very pretty, but they're a pain to take apart and maintain and they're quite physically unreliable. I also never found them t…

It's OK. Pin 1 on most ROMs (up to 64K) is either ground or +5v, and about 24 pins. 128K, 256K and 512K ROMs Pin 1 is usually an address pin, depending the ROM size. They are to up…

Would a standard PC mini-USB drive work if I used a mini-USB to 2 USB ports cable? Edit: Would a powered hub help? I can't find the cable. Edit 2: The model I'm getting has USB 2…

It doesn't. The USB SuperDrive requires a modern Mac without an internal SuperDrive, it takes more power from the USB ports. MacBook Pro with Retina display MacBook Air iMac (lat…

OK! Edit: Total: US$75-ish. Can probably be offset by selling some stuff (like my iBook G3). Also, does Apple's USB SuperDrive/MacBook Air SuperDrive work with OS X Leopard on a …

Do 2 if you plan to run Leopard.

Plans have changed. I am not going with a TiBook, but an Aluminium PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz. I am getting an 80GB hard drive for it. (Total: US$60) Is 1GB RAM sufficient or should I g…

@Elfen, oh I'm very sorry, I was talking about pins on the ROM, not the Mega II. Sorry again for the confusion.

If you can get your hands on a polarized light source and the right optics, under polarized light conditions, a corroded trace should look different than a normal trace, even if th…

The Ensoniq 5503DOC does not produce "classic" 8-bit Apple II sound. The clicker speaker logic is located in the Mega II. This is why when you use a stereo sound card, you don't ge…

8.1 won't run on a TiBook. Maybe someday OS 9 though I do 1080p video editing though. Maybe one of those G5 OS 9 hacks.

i would think,  shouldn't be too hard on leopard.     heck i still have a Dual CPU atom box around here some where that is still running OSX86 Leopard. now mac os 8.1 that might b…

I found Apple discs for: iWork '05 Trial iLife '08 OS X Leopard in my disc bin.

The address/data bus to the MegaII VLSI is dead on, otherwise you wouldnt be able to generate any legible characters.  The chip very well could be bad. But it would be odd, but no…

Pitou said: I already checked all pins with an oscilloscope. Continuity is good. Signals seem to be on all pins except for 1,2,4 and 6 if I remember correctly. Again, I'm not…

Fix it please!

I already checked all pins with an oscilloscope. Continuity is good. Signals seem to be on all pins except for 1,2,4 and 6 if I remember correctly. Again, I'm not sure what to expe…

I had to review again a few times the video as the first few seconds as comes up scrambled on the old OSX 10.4 QuickTime. Now I see the start up screen come up scrambled but not re…

This is something totally different. ProDOS-IIgs works with the windows and other things and all. So there is nothing wrong with the system at all. This is a software issue, looks…
