Any thoughts on the Sub-Forums, for each OS?

Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the power and ditched the fan. Click to expand... So the fan "melted" or merely "failed" now? If truly melted, I for on…

Post count would be a horrendous idea because we've had trouble with it in the past. Back before the Great Crash of 2007 we had a post count display and actually had ranks based o…

I just don't think that is very useful.. Click to expand... It helps us find the noobs, that's about all.

You guys are probably right. I was pretty much certain my memories were wrong, but anyway. I hadn't seen a SE/30 since that one when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, so I thought …

Minutes after posting I found this, and thought it would fit on topic…

Oh, okay. Guess I was wrong about the C1 being replaced. Since it didn't look like the other capacitors, I just assumed it was a replacement made by some other company...oh well.…

If MacPlayMate is simply a runtime engine for Comic Works or Video Works or whatever, there's an opportunity for fun. Click to expand... It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… …

That C1 is the same exact C1 cap used in some of my newer "stock condition" analog boards, all with factory hot-glue applied: 630-0102-E 661-0462 And here is an unmodif…

I was thinking that maybe instead of just the "Software" forum we could have Sub-Forums for each of the system softwares up to OS 9? I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.…

12v DC does not melt a fan... Click to expand... Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the power and ditched the fan. Click to expand... So the fan "melte…

All Icebooks could suffer from GPU problems. Regardless of what chip you had on there, ATI Radeon or a Rage 128, that board was gonna flex. I've seen a share of 500/600 G3's with A…

I remember my iMac asking to go down to 16 colors, so I know that's possible. I never used grays on the iMac, but it could be possible to go down to 16 grays. Click to expand...…

Just as a useless note, SheepShaver will let you go down to 16/4 colors and B&W. On a PPC machine it runs using native CPU, thus it's potentially a more useful option then …

My Clamshell iBook BlueBerry can go down to 256greys only. Its runnning OS 9.

I hope that doesn't mean you don't plan on opening the case again. Aside from the fan, your analogue board is showing signs of age, despite adjusting your voltages the Mac is exhib…

I remember a lot of old games used to come with both B&W and Colour binaries, and on Power Macintoshes you would often have to run the B&W version in order not to g…

really the main point of hot glue is to hold the larger / top heavy components in place as they scurry down a convener belt during assembly Secondary it provides a little bit of p…

Under 18s: please move on. Mike Saenz wrote the ever entertaining MacPlayMate and Wikipedia associates him with authorship of Comic Works. My twenty year old recollection of MacPl…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…

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: { …
