$405 is a good deal for a Lisa and a ProFile, even if they don't work.

Well dangit, I missed my window to bid in time. I try not to bid too early, but I got distracted...

OH. Wait. I misread the number you posted. 02000000 isn't the same as 20000000... It's 1/16 of it. So one 32MB stick, yes.

That is odd - do you have more information? What system is this?

http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_boot.html It's in the reg section. My iBook has two 512MB modules and so has 00000000 20000000 20000000 20000000 Yours would appear to h…

It needs a SWIM chip too doesn't it? Maybe that chip is gone, but the power is still hooked up, so the floppy drive powers on and starts to read the disk but then nothing is there …

I'm pretty sure that ROM support for those devices was removed after the Rev.A machines. Luckily you can drop a 333MHz CPU module into a Rev.A : - and a bare Rev.A board should no…

That should do it. What a neat little device...just a shame it needs Zoomed video to work. (which means that it won't work with my PowerBook 1400 )

I did the following command: dev /memory@0 .properties and it came up with the following: Code: name memory device_type memory reg 00000000 00000000 …

It is possibly, I can't remember off-hand, but it probably involves finding the path to the RAM and getting .properties. Try doing > dev / ls to see a list of devices, and…

I will be bidding on this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330283948578&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 in the hopes that it…

I'm not sure, but wouldn't it be easier to boot the machine up and go to About This Mac?

With New World Macs I get, I'd like to be able to find the RAM amount quickly and easily, so is there an Open Firmware command to get the total amount of RAM?

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board. Click to expand... Make that 100% on the floppy drive. Maybe there are further hacks that can be done t…

Yes, I also emailed the company and they said they don't know about Macs, but it needs a capture card of some kind. So now I'm going to have to look for a capture device.

That S-Video port on the back of the Lombard only does output, not input. You'll need either a PCMCIA or USB video capture solution of some sort.

Which reminds me..one of these days I've gotta find a Rev. A iMac somewhere...would be a neat machine to play around with, not to mention that if I keep it original and in good nic…

Just got (for husband's peace of mind) a set of 2 security cameras that wirelessly connect to a receiver, which connects to TV/VCR/etc with an AV cable that has one red and one yel…

Hello everyone, I have a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet with 9.2 installed. 233MHz model with 256MB of RAM. The machine runs fine with OS 9, but I decided I'd install Mac OS X. I read th…

From what I gather, 8.6 is the minimum that will run on this iMac, and you say it would need less than 8.6. Does that mean there's no way to get this to work?

^^digging around it looks like the floppy port will only run on systems below 8.6, if the iMac has had the firmware update applied for OS X then that too could be a factor.

Yep, booted into OS 9 and the drive didn't do much except spin and then stop. I also tried inserting a disk before booting and nothing much happened. You would think it would spi…

I assume you're using OS 9 or earlier to try and read the floppy, being as there's no support in OS X
