Im a techno type, with a masters in electronic engineering so maybe i think different (C apple) but the vibe i got from the forum here was "rip that joker apart and make it work" …

Hello z, Thanks for this, I can't say I'm technically experienced enough to have even imagined that if the drive may be on its way out that it would still write in some formats bu…

My thoughts on posts like these are the same as a few people have mentioned. Essentially, don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. In my years on this board, which are (wi…

I understand the hoarding issue, it is something many of us have faced - myself included. I have since paired down my collection to these: 8600 BeigeG3MT Sawtooth PB5300cs iBo…

Unfortunately most thrift shops don't test electrical goods - hence why they claim "This item has not been tested and is being sold suitable for parts only". Its easier for them to…

Yes, I fear that your TiBook has developed a problem with the BGA joints under the graphics chip. This problem is unfortunately widespread (the early iBooks were infamously prone t…

We'll miss you system 7. Click to expand... He will come back in a few years as system 8.1.

I believe the acceleration drivers for the 8.24gc do NOT work in a 68040 system so its unacellerated in a Quadra.

I wish I could get a hold of a 8•24GC card. It would be awesome in my Quadra 840av. I don't think the Quadra 840av has accelerated Video. oh well...Too bad I don't have the $$ f…

We'll miss you system 7.

The 8.24QC is only good for an 030 based machine (Mac II), anything built into a Quadra is probably better or atleast more compatible. I recommend the common but fast Supermac Thun…

Um, did you clean the heads? Travis: PM sent

Goodwill or any thrift store will have a hundered of them for 2 bucks each, turn around when your done and donate it back Click to expand... You need to be careful as they are …

Yeah, I've read that about the 8*24GC, thats a card I wouldn't mind tracking down one day...but still, its nice to finally have a NuBus card to put into one of the NuBus slots on m…

Not to *TRY* to make anyone here jealous or anything... But I have an 8•24GC plus an 8•24 in my IIfx. (The 8•24GC has the extra benefit that it will accelerate all 8•24 and 4•8 c…

So I heard from the seller, it got shipped out yesterday, yipee. Now if only I had a Quadra here to install it in! (I'm at uni, my Quadra, and all my other computers apart from …

Hehe I know it's Nubus I'm not used to write Nubus, hehe So you won't worry? A IIfx won't boot without good batteries? Click to expand... Most old world power sensing …

Could be the actual drive going out look up how to tweak the laser if you wanna try saving it (or you don't have an extra drive to swap in and test out).

Hey thanks, Christopher. Using the OS' built-in burning feature was indeed my first suggestion in order to try to distinguish the issue between hardware and software, - and will be…

Yeah, the phrase "kit" made me assume it was 2 4 MB SIMMS in each. :-/ However, it's not that bad at all. I plan to use two of the packs to add RAM to a bare Macintosh IIci boa…

Is it just me, or do others also find it EXTREMELY annoying when eBay sellers (and others) advertise sets of smaller SIMMs as "kits"? :-/ I'm sorry it happened to you
