Good point Bunsen. There was some software that allowed one to use both serial ports. This is exactly why the PowerBook 100 had a modem port replacement serial port, as many musici…

Thanks for the reply. The information I can find says that the 8600/9600 can use either EDO or FPM, but the Kansas MB's needed 60NS sticks. Of the two 8600's here, the 8600/200 h…

So I replaced the power board in my 128k and I am now getting Sad Mac 040002 at bootup. From what I can gather there is some bad memory on the motherboard that causes this. Does an…

It's not like you're being paid to post more often or to be able to post very quickly. Click to expand... Exactly my point! We're not forced to post here, so once it becomes to…

The Midibox sequencer's response time is measured in nanoseconds. Of course, as you point out, MIDI is a serial protocol and very low bandwidth, so there is a limit to the timing …

If you start up while holding Option-Apple-O-F, can you get back to the Open Firmware prompt? Another thing to try is a verbose boot - hold down V (or Apple-V) during startup. It…

Yes, after a little trial and error, I had mine at full speed for both OS 9 and OSX. If OWC doesn't solve the problem, I'll get my machine out of storage later this week and check…

Apple didn't start using SDRAM (aka PC66, PC100 and/or PC133) type sticks until the Beige Power Macintosh G3 and G3 All-In-One models; sometime in late 1997 or early 1998. So, tha…

Anybody who used quotes in a reasonable manner shouldn't be affected anyway. If it takes you even fifteen full additional seconds to find the text you wanted to talk about and then…

If you have such a problem with people quoting uncontrollably, why not just PM them to stop doing it so much? Instead of ruining it for the rest of us?

I can't believe I used to print everything out and then OCR it back in! Click to expand... OMG OCR! I type it all in octal on a telephone pad

I took apart my Macintosh Portable this evening to make a count of the different capacitors I'll be needing to replace as part of the standard "holy crap this is old I need to repl…

There's 512MB of Ram (4 sticks) in the 9600 I just got but I can't find anything on the Chipmunk site that corresponds to the chip markings. They're Sonnet sticks but the Sonnet l…

You can still easily quote from the "Post a Reply" page. Click to expand... You know, until this thread came up I didn't notice the quote button on the reply page... I also did…

All you've done is inconvenienced people. Click to expand... not really, honestly I forget the quote button is there, why? I usually just highlight the point I want to focus o…

Yeah seriously! Are you just trying to make it us harder for us?

I can't see what the big deal is, you should still be able to use quotes via BBCode. Its not as if we've banned quotes completely. This is a test. Testing testing one two thr…

If you enable dynamic power management, doesn't that mean the CPU drops to half-speed when possible, as in idling while you look at a CPU speed screen? CPUD and other speed sensing…

Okay I emailed OWC's tech support. In the meantime... Metronome indicates that my bus speed is indeed set to 100MHz. I double checked my jumpers and they are correct for that sett…

I have a PowerLogix 1.1 ghz processor that's in a B&W G3. It ignored the motherboard jumper settings as far as processor speed went. I never did try changing the bus speed …

That does sound like corrupt PRAM, if you wound up in Open Firmware (the mac-boot prompt). Check your battery voltage - should be 3.6V minimum. If the battery is OK, then press the…

Sometimes I question why I allow myself to be treated to this... Arg. This is just horrible. Time to make a new 68k Forum Nah, just kidding. I guess we'll have to live with lo…

Just how little jitter can MIDI deliver? At 31.25 kb/s, or 31 bits/mS, and 3 bytes (30 bits with start & stop bits)/shortest MIDI message, it seems you need at least 1 mS p…

Hmm, for some reason I'm getting no quote button at the bottom of messages. Anyway, if you're getting 650 MHz when set to a 11:1 ration, then the bus speed of your B&W mus…
