Yeah, you can replace it with an ethernet card...the only other type of card ever made for the Comms Slot. Keep in mind, you'll need a CS2 card, rather than a CS1 card due to the s…

Yep, since it's a card. You can replace it with a 10 Mbps Ethernet card.

Well, Bunson has got me a-thinkin about a tinker with my G4 Cube again, with his reference to dual G4/500MHz cards in a Cube. I can get one of these shipped on eBay right now for a…

My Performa 6360 has a internet by phone port that i have never used since the day i bought this mac as a used unit about 5 years ago. Can i remove it without too much labour and …

Yep, I got the Centronics cable, it plugged right into the back of the CD-ROM Drive. Thanks for the reminder.

make sure, that fits onto a cable to change it (which is fine if you have a 50 pin <-> 50 pin centroncis cable)

Yeah I did some research shortly after I posted the question. You are correct it's a Centronics. I found the adapter here. http://www.computercablesource.com/scsi-adapter-centroni…

I need a 50 to 25pin adapter for the cord to plug it into my Macintosh Color Classic. I ordered one and got it today but its a tiny 50pin on the adapter and not the large wide 50 p…

This is really neat and geek way to connect computers, but now all I have is a: LC 475 with an Ethernet card, MacBook Pro and one Ethernet cable. How to connect this pieces of hard…

what I have done is I have a linux computer (any debian-based distribution that uses apt for package distribution will make this really easy) with netatalk installed. Here's what …

It's like reading a Linux manual, very nice Anyway I'm choosing option 3, "Best for arbitrary transfers at random times". Could you give me some practise advice in this topic?

Hello, what is the easiest way to transfer files between a LC 475 (7.5.3) and a MacBook Pro (10.6.2)? Click to expand... "Easiest"? USB floppy on the MacBook Pro. "Easiest i…

my problem is at C13. i am looking in that general area to see where to scrape exactly with the idea of exposing the correct copper wire. Click to expand... I don't have any SE…

Hi Jason, I responded to your email a few minutes ago. I see that JDW gave you basically the same advice I did, but in better detail. You didn't mention the reverse polarity pro…

a big thanks to JDW for such a thorough reply. just to be clear i am *not* that dexterous with a soldering tool. in fact, this whole process of cap replacement is new to me. my pr…

I have never "partially recapped" a board and then tested it. So I cannot speak from experience in that regard. But what I can say is that if you have the caps properly oriented …

i have 220uf 35v for 220uf 16v can i use this ? and the surface pads have come up off the board for one of them. how will i make a good connection now for that capacitor?

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. O…

The ones from Trag have a thin, red line on the one side. That's the positive side. Cheers, Anders

the tantalum ones are not marked positive or negative. how do i know which end is which ?

yes, can type almost always indicate the negative side, where as tants are marked on the positive side

I'll venture a guess; you've put the capacitor in backwards. The tiny stripe on the capacitor should point towards the "+" on the motherboard. I *think* this is opposite the factor…
