I had this exact problem not but a month ago. Something about this particular iMac i guess. Nothing I did worked. I tried every trick I could find: booting from various install …

Compatible 512 MB modules must have a total of 16 chips, 8 on each side.

I like them both, personally. As for the "Teardrop" mice (Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II), I find that the older ones have a better click to them...probably because the newer ones have…

Apologies ahead of time for my ignorance on the details of which models are affected by what I'm about to say, but... ... isn't there some issue with some PPC Macs not liking the …

I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week. Click to expand... My opinion on that is of the complete opposite - the feel of the button …

Could it be an issue with the CAS latency of the RAM? I know some Macs from that generation are rather fussy, and prefer 2-2-2 RAM.

Good work. Must feel nice to use it.

Good to see another LC back up and going. The case looks to be in very good condition.

Nice work. Looks good on your desk. I hated those mice, so uncomfortable. Give me a tear drop mouse any day of the week.

So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running. However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM. According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB. I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…

This one should have been relatively easy. I have to admit though, it took a few hours to make it work properly. I liberated this machine ages ago in a non-working state, but only …

just the basics of the 2 technologies suggest that an active matrix would use more power, but that doesnt mean that they didnt find a way around that (and according to the post ab…

Further digging in the "PowerBook" sections of my ever-useful old copies of The Macintosh Bible and Macintosh and Power Macintosh Secrets has revealed that the commentators du jour…

Alright, I'm sure that I can use the caddy in a IIcx now. Thanks everybody!

Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…

Olde-mac-milt usually carries HDD cradles for the IIci/IIcx/Q700, which he groups together. I have one of each of those Macs, and can verify that they use a common (with minor var…

The IIci and IIcx do use the same kind of mount, 700 should also since it is in a IIcx type of case.

Alright, thanks. I really want to secure the hard drive so I can run the Macintosh IIcx sideways without worries.

Probably so. They're not needed, in any case, unless you just like having the hard drive secured.

Could a Quadra 700 hard disk caddy be used in a Macintosh IIcx? I have my eyes set on a Macintosh IIcx on eBay which is missing the hard drive and the caddy, and I have a Quadra 70…

Using the "set-defaults" command with resets seemed to bring the FireWire back on a 12" G4 867 MHz for me. It was having a similar problem recognizing drives at the volume select …

I think it was boot-usb? I was actually talking about it to a friend saturday night, he couldn't remember the exact command but he remember his issue well. Two iBook G4s, one coul…

Well. ~Coxy, you were correct. I tried a USB hard drive, zip drive, and CD drive. No Luck. The Mac would see only the USB CD drive, but would not start the disk. I tried OS 8.1, 9.…

Simply put, if you turn on a fan to blow fumes from your nose while you solder, and if you then wash your hands after your solder job is done, you need not worry one bit about pois…

The author of this thread will not be convinced by any of this, but I offer it for the rest of you interested in knowing the caveats of going Pb-free in your soldering work: It's …
