You know that might work.... I still have a few Proliant 5000 units. At least they are Compaq beige. They would fit right in at 7U in height, and once stripped are an incredible…

Hey, that's great. Love to see these still working. Is the screen ok and all?

I'm assuming and hoping this is not a repack sealed box... First does your cable have two ends on it? One with a little joystick icon, and one with a floppy disk? If you have th…

Well I braved the tube today and got it straight. It's not 100% but it's better than it was. One question though, how much of a black bar should there be around the picture? I k…

I recently acquired a NIB Apple IIe card and put it in a Quadra 605. Everything works just fine, except when I tried to hook up a 5.25 floppy drive (A9M0107), the IIe card doesn't …

Got a PB 100 today, now I have a use for the 20 pin external floppy I got with another powerbook!

Somebody from the old IRC channel has the 840AV version of a RAM card that used 8 x 72 pin SIMMs (32MB max each for 256MB total). I think Newer technology sold it. It was pretty fa…

I have seen only one of these, on eBay a few years back. It sold for something outrageous even then, before the prices of nubus-era equipment began to go up. As I recall, the writ…

I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I assume the bus speeds are wildly different) Click to expand... B&W bu…

Daystar RAM PowerCard. I'm pretty sure it was not addressable as system memory, just as RAM disk, print spool, and disk cache. FWIW I have been searching for this and any similar …

The only way I can even think of would be to run a PC hardware emulator like QEMU or Virtual PC, then run "Hackintosh" OS X inside that. It would be dog-slow, though. (Hrm... Yo…

We are only allowed to place rack units in the data center I've tried micro-atx boxen clipped to the side of the racks behind panels and got whacked for that pretty hard. Still…

I'd imagine very very old LCDs couldn't be any harder. Click to expand... It is stupidly easy in the displays in the 1xx series.Like, mars478 could do it.. though he might brea…

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally decided to allow the OS 9 disc to format the hard drive and installed it Firmware now updated, and Tiger installation restored perfectly w…

I have a PowerBook 1400cs and a Powerbook G3 Lombard, but I bought it from a site with the same idea as eBay, so I don't know if it is intended to be brighter.

With enough patience, precision, and critical thinking, you can replace the lamp(s) in most LCDs. I have replaced lamps in two PowerBook G3 Pismo screens. One was dim, the other …

Gorgonops much thanks there. I think I'm going with the xserve and licenses after all. Get this - the simple reason is: ....... We are only allowed to place rack units in the d…

Turns out that I have a 333mhz processor, not a 400mhz processor installed. I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I …

Triangle Computing used to have one as well. Missed that one on Ebay years ago too, but I do have their Scsi accelerator card. It had drivers for up to OS 6.0.8 too! That card s…

CPU Director for OS 9 does a better job than XLR8s, and no serial required! You also need to couple the multiplier with a bus speed the 8600/9600 likes; most don't like to be push…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through? Click to expand... He's been saving them. He uses them to build a database that can dist…

Okay, so I got the XLR8 to work (and it took a bit of digging as of course, there is a Ben 10 character with the same name...) and now I'm running a G3 at a blazingly fast 400mhz (…

As far as I know they were all just used for RAM disks. Didn't the original Daystar cards have some kind of bridge for connecting to other Daystar cards without using the Nubus?
