1 GHz eMac G4 Prototype Motherboard (rest later) — #1

I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it. Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa …

CPU upgrades and 9600 board faults... — #5

The Sonnet card will work well, and one day look out for one of their later G4 700/800/1000 upgrades which also run well in the 9600, and reliably.  It will feel like a new machine…

CPU upgrades and 9600 board faults... — #4

Sounds like all systems are go then. Might do the switcheroo then. Would I be right in assuming the majority of programs wouldn't really be able to make use of the multiprocessi…

CPU upgrades and 9600 board faults... — #3

Never heard of, Sonnet upgrades are usually very forgiving and don't tax the machine like others (with selectable bus, multiplier speeds .... Sonnet did none of that), so I'd go fo…

CPU upgrades and 9600 board faults... — #2

That does not ring any bells for me.  Doesn't mean it never existed, but does mean that it must have been pretty obscure if it did. There were issues putting G4 upgrades into the …

68k Mac's, onboard video, and LCD displays? — #8

I have found the IICI especially fussy, it as well as the IICX, IISI, IIVI, & IIVX use "Sync on Green." I believe declaring a 13/14" RGB monitor is what worked for me...

Another LC III and a couple of floppy discs — #1

Yesterday i spotted an LC III for sale, was only 10 euros, but advised only for spares. Already have one of those, but too cheap not to call the owner. The LC was complete, and n…

Apple II Motherboard ID — #4

As mentioned above, the first board is a Rev 7 RFI motherboard used in the Apple II+.  The second board looks like an earlier Rev 4 motherboard that was probably used in an Apple I…

Apple II Motherboard ID — #3

Like Bear said, the top is an Apple II+ board, the bottom is an Apple II. The boards are nearly identical, it is the ROM and the date tag that tell you but its a late model Apple I…

Apple II Motherboard ID — #2

The first one is a II+ board. The bottom one has the characteristics of a II board, but some went into II+es so without seeing more details I don't think anybody can say that it de…

Macs + More — #11

Even if the motherboard is busted in the XPS there is still really nice components inside. I'm surprised the owner didn't salvage the really nice parts on the inside.

Nice haul! You could try and save that MacBook Pro with a reflow, probably (and since it's already damaged, it won't hurt anyway).

That's an awesome haul in one swoop, I found a Dell XPS 720 a few years ago too, with a faulty motherboard - apparently a very common fault.  Standard ATX though so would make a fa…

Incredible haul!  The XPS appears nice - I haven't seen older Macs (like the LC) show up on a doorstep (outside of eBay or here) in some time, here in downstate IL.
