^-----------------------  ah education only … will get cha every time.

^ Not sure what you mean, but there were 1ghz models. And as much as I hate the eMac, thats cool. Protos are always sweet finds! And an EVT in the wild is an odd thing. PVTs yes, …

If stiction is the problem, a light tap on the side of the hard drive can temporarily help. Not always, but it's happened before. If it does get the drive going, don't turn it off …

so production models went right form 800mhz to 1.25ghz  ?

cool man!

I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it. Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa …

pretty sure the differences between the ROM 1 and 2 versions are not important.  If you decide you want to be particular, thats totally cool,    but if you are really trying to fix…

yes he has those Q840av Schematics!

How about Quadra 840av schematics? I have not one, not two, but THREE dead boards I'd like to get working someday. And anyone asks, yes, they've been recapped and washed. There's…

good question, i forgot what one i sent em. 

Is the Classic II the 2 ROM chip version (Rev 2), or the 4 ROM chip version (Rev 1)?

maybe its got the stiction? maybe you could try this? https://www.thinkclassic.org/viewtopic.php?id=263 other wise you can get a SCSI2SD for it.  I would say the Classic II is w…

as far as i know all he has is a PC,   He gets boards in and does the R/E and then sends them back. The Color Classic Mainboard and the Classic II main board are ones i sent em,  …

I have a recapped classic 2 mobo with an 80mb hard-drive. I plugged in the hard drive, turned the mac on and booted from the system 7 disk utilities floppy. Once the reformatting w…

Does he have regular classic and classic II?

Yeh I'm quite enjoying using it actually... posting this from it in fact. I still havent worked out exactly what it's affliction to the R7k or the properly working Rage128 is yet, …

The Sonnet card will work well, and one day look out for one of their later G4 700/800/1000 upgrades which also run well in the 9600, and reliably.  It will feel like a new machine…

Sounds like all systems are go then. Might do the switcheroo then. Would I be right in assuming the majority of programs wouldn't really be able to make use of the multiprocessi…

Never heard of, Sonnet upgrades are usually very forgiving and don't tax the machine like others (with selectable bus, multiplier speeds .... Sonnet did none of that), so I'd go fo…

That does not ring any bells for me.  Doesn't mean it never existed, but does mean that it must have been pretty obscure if it did. There were issues putting G4 upgrades into the …

It's by no means a Lisa or 128k level of special to me, so I'll more than likely go for the LCD transplant route. Make the machine so much lighter, easier to move, and a tad more p…

Mmmmm at this point in time, a machine has to be fairly special to warrant me bothering with a flyback replacement. If one were to fail on either of my iMacs for instance, I dare s…
