Should we hot glue replacement components? Capacitors vibrate but does the glue make any difference to life span?

Oxidation, nothing, that's corrosion, and it looks like something got spilled on the board. How can you tell that C1 has been replaced? Looks to me like the original factory hot g…

Hi, Just opened my Macintosh Plus to give it a quick check-over, to make sure that no components have blatantly malfunctioned. Generally, it looks okay on the interior: { …

QT 1.5 was the first to support Cinepak, I believe, but I'm not sure if I have it. I definitely have 2 and above, so I will just have to fire up my old Plus and see if anything use…

The limit of ADC is the single-link DVI resolution of 1920x1200. Power isn't the limit, Apple had a 17" CRT that ran off ADC. (By the way, the power isn't being supplied over the…

ADC was doomed from the start because it powered the monitor. That means laptop users have to buy bulky extrenally-powered converter boxes and it also means yet-more auxiliary powe…

Sooooooo ... which version of QT added 68000 support? Or was this yet another unfulfilled promise of Apple's, when they realized there was no point? Click to expand... It was i…

Here's an interesting blurb from an Apple Developer's Tech Note: QUICKTIME 1.0: “YOUOUGHTA BEIN PICTURES” d e v e l o p Summer 1991 QuickTime 1.0 works on all color-capable …

A decent solution may be to use the SlideShow program from Kid Pix. You'll need either Kid Pix 2 or Kid Pix Companion. I'm not sure if the program itself can run on a 1MB machine s…

Did you know that the Mac II chord is also the first chord in "Norwegian Wood"? Now, if only it played the rest of the song!

Seeing how the SE/30 is basically a Mac IIx stuffed in a compact case, I don't think it's likely there have ever been SE/30's with the classic chime. More likely you didn't make an…

Every SE/30 I've worked with has used the Mac II chime. Also, the Classic II uses the LC chime. The only Macs that use the standard compact Mac chime are the 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plu…

It was a good idea, but it can't be in sizes larger than 22" iirc, but I absolutely love my 17" adc.

Leopard should run just fine on that card. While the Ti3200 is indeed far faster and a more capable GPU than the Rage128 card it came with, I am concerned that it may not support c…

I'm not sure if they still have older Macs, but I remember a shop in Columbus called Macmobile. I had walked by the store in 2001 and there were a ton of old Macs in the window, in…

The Quadra 700 isn't a bad choice if you add an accelerator card. It's the same size as the IIcx/IIci and has the benefit of being able to be used as a minitower or as a desktop (d…

The minimum system I've ever tried is an unmodified PB140, which produced better-looking video than I'd expected. Click to expand... Given that the 140 meets the 68030 minimums…

Well I am going to pick up this 22" CRT as soon as I find the time. It will be a perfect compliment to the Power Mac G3 :beige:

That "8088 Corruption" hack is pretty impressive, indeed! I admire the twisted mind(s) that conceived of, and executed, its development. Given that it evidently uses a VQ-based co…

the Qs is now running with a geforce 3 ti 200 massive improvement i see leopard in its future ..kinda maybe

I don't mean standard in the PC industry, I mean standard on Macs. If Apple had stayed with it, they could have added ADC to all of their computers. Click to expand... Ah yes, …

I don't mean standard in the PC industry, I mean standard on Macs. If Apple had stayed with it, they could have added ADC to all of their computers.

Not really, everybody else was content with VGA/DVI (infact Apple used VGA and DVI on the Sawtooth's cards)and Apple used then unassigned pins in the AGP slot. If Apple had pushed …

I think it would be best to just buy an airport card for your iMac. I have a relative who installed an airport card after her Ethernet was destroyed from lightning, and it worked j…
