Well I tried this on my old VERY dead Mac SE last night. Obviously I couldn't power it up to see my handy work, but I was able to get a feel for how the yoke moves and how hard I …

I have this site in my bookmark list: http://sites.google.com/site/micronxceed/ On it I noticed I even got a credit for the PDF's I made of the manuals. That wasn't too long ago…

Doesn't a tilde work? ~ (shift-backquote)

Here's some syncing info on the IIci/IIsi: http://www.applefritter.com/node/6301 Some people say it's sync on green, then another guy disagrees, etc. So it could be an interesti…

Beware that some (many?) LCD monitors won't like the 67hz sync-on-green signal that comes out of a IIci. Click to expand... If you find a Mac to VGA adapter with DIP switches, …

Do you know of any specific models that are 1280 x 960? Click to expand... Some 1280x1024 monitors (the standard pixel density for non-widescreen 17" monitors) will scale 640x4…

Thanks for the tip it sounds like a good idea but I can't find one of these items. Everything out there seems to be 1280x1024 native resolution. Do you know of any specific model…

So I can take for granted that the card I posted in question is an XCeed Color 30HR, and that the white 10-pin connector is for a greyscale adapter? Somewhere on line I saw a post…

Actually, the yoke carries very dangerous voltages (and currents). Specifically, the horizontal deflection winding is the one that can give you a serious bite. I treat the yoke wit…

Solution to my focus problem: Thanks to all for input. Here's solution told me by my tech.: The adjustment he was referring to is the cutoff. I have already done that - turned t…

Then use the bullet. Option+8. Moving other things up leaves the others further down so it's not completely irrelevant information.

ah, guys, are you sure you are directing me in the right direction ? When i got on this elevator i wanted to go down.

Oh, okay. What I meant by "touching" was what to hold while rotating the yoke. Because he was asking what was "safe" to handle. If this is not the best thing to do. Thanks for warn…

BTW, the yoke doesn't carry high voltage, so it's safe to touch the coils if you have to to break it loose. Or since you know you're going to rotate it anyway, loosen the clamp and…

The parts you want to touch are marked in red, they are white and made of plastic. Click to expand... No, no, no. Those are the very last things to play with. What Scott, I an…

(Edited for being a bad idea. ) Just follow Scott Baret's guide and you should be fine. (His steps describe exactly what I did. 8-o )

Here is a flickr set of my (since sold) XCeed Color 30HR, which looks like the one in question. Micron bought Xceed at some point, it looks like. JDW, if I'm remembering correct…

Well, I was going to tell you to grab an ACARD 7200 series scsi to ide bridge or scsi to sata bridge, but looking at prices on ebay and other places it looks like they are WAY WAY …

I use option-8, the "bullet" and it works great for what you're doing. Has anybody got the ASCII special character sort list handy to post? :?: Click to expand... Option + 8 …

If you'd consider getting a newer LCD and using a Mac -> VGA adapter, a display with 1280x960 native resolution will produce a superb, unbelievably sharp image when set to 6…

Hi, My Power Mac 8500's internal SCSI hard drive failed recently. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement hard drive?

The basic rule for working on hot electronics is keep one hand "in your pocket", meaning don't have both hands touching the machine. That way if you touch high voltage, you may get…

The manual says to twist the plastic ring, and not to grab the copper wires. Is this correct? Click to expand... What do you suppose usually flows through copper wiring?
