Wow! I just looked at the mobo and it appears that 7 of the capiciters have been reworked! I'l post a pic here in a moment.

I know... a PC floppy drive isn't vintage mac-related, but i didn't feel like making two topics; one here and one in the Lounge. Besides, I need it to transfer data to "Treebark" (…

Oh.... I was looking for the big black-with-a-white-stripe gas tanks standing on their soldered on contacts

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. Click to expand... :lol: You obviously don't know what they look like. I can see them on your photos quite …

I know what caps look like. there are none on the top of the mobo. It looks like the 68030 chip is on the bottom too.

Nah, the caps are on the top, like the small "can" like thingies you see on the motherboard. I believe every Mac has caps, but the SE/30/Classic II/Classic/SE/IIci/II/IIx/IIfx/LC …

Aah. I'm assuming the caps are on the bottom of the mobo? Also, what model(s) dont have caps? And the caps appear to be fine. No squeaking noises here!

...And (finally) Pics!

No, the pizza box series does definitely have caps, and when you hear a squeaking sound, it's likely that they are going. I doubt yours has that problem since it would have bee…

Oops! My uploads hung and only the first couple of photos were uploaded. Forgive my ignorince here, but IIRC, aren't the "pizza box" macs one of the few without capiciters?

especially for machines setup in such a way that it becomes more difficult to reach around the back for the power switch. Click to expand... Perhaps with all these advances in …

I've owned.....5 ProDrive ELS's over the years, one of which was brand new (it was in our LCIII, which Dad bought brand new back in 1993). All of them are dead. I've also owned....…

Unfortunately, you are wrong. The Quantum ProDrive ELS that was originally installed in my Macintosh LC 475 died a while back. The Quantum ProDrive LPSes/LTs are the good ones a…

OK... The ProDrive ELS HDs are the good ones, right? Pics still uploading. 13%

Nice! Enjoy your Macintosh LC III!

It's here!!!!!! I'm uploading pics as I type this!

Just where ever seems most appropriate. For example, if it's about a 68k PowerBook, then it should go in the 68k PowerBook forum...

What counts as a hack?

The title says it all, which forum is appropriate for hacks now that we don't have a Hacks forum? jt :?:

And here are the pics!

Uh, no. Assuming that we use the binary equivalents of the metric prefixes, a gigamember would be the 2^30th member. That would be member 1,073,741,824. What you are thinking of…

Why unfortunitly? I prefer "Hard Power" Click to expand... Each to his own - it's a matter of personal preference I suppose, but I do just find soft power to be a nice convenie…

OK... I have come up with a name for it: Treebark I have no idea how that popped up in my head, but it stuck there.

I thought you needed a KB to turn it on? Click to expand... The entire LC pizza box series does not have soft power, unfortunately. This means there is a flip switch on the bac…
