weird ibook problem — #3

Some people say the iBook G4 has the "video chip coming loose from the PC board" issue. There is also a pin that comes unsoldered on a voltage regulator chip. The latter is fixable…

Dunno if this requires a new thread. But I've bought a Dayna E/II-T DaynaPort Nubus card. It says no errors. EtherTalk looks to work. I have Mac OS 6.0.8 with MacTCP. But I can't s…

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #21

ISTR that you shouldn't mix EDO and FPM RAM in one machine: can't recall if that's "no boot" bad, or "escaping magic smoke" bad.

Lombard case plastics — #2

The traditional way to prevent cracks from going further is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Not flash, but will save the plastic from further cracking. JB

As far as I know, the memory check can't be turned off in the Memory Control Panel on a Quadra. I seem to recall that it requires a PPC and MacOS8 — possibly 8.5 or 8.6. It require…
