Browsing ebay late at night before bed can make for some odd acquisitions. Today I got in the original model G5 1.6Ghz in pretty decent condition. Sold for $30 shipped (one of tho…

Might be cheaper to get a dead one in nice cosmetic condition off eBay than to try and professionally hammer out all the dents.

This is not Elfen posting but his youngest daughter, he's in the hospital for observation as it looks like its a bad allergy issue that is he undergoing. Details tomorrow when I ge…

No problem.  John from VintageMicros (http://www.vintagemicros.com/catalog/index.php) also sells small packs of appropriate feet - I can't find them on his site right now, but I kn…

Thank you david__schmidt!

Thanks, G. Solved it by creating a bootable flash drive and that worked well. Your solution would probably have worked too. (I need to also test my firewire cable, it may be defect…

You're looking for a 3M Bumpon part.  The main directory for such things: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/manufacturing_industry/specialty_tapes/node_GSH0V016W0be/root_GS…

I managed to finally get myself an Apple //e, but it is missing three of the four feet. I did some googling and found some references to a Radio Shack item, but the website comes u…

Can you simply reverse things, IE, put the G3 into target disk mode, boot the G4 off the install disk, and select the G3's hard disk as the install target? Last time I checked that…

I have hit a snag in trying to get one of my iBook 500s loaded with 10.4. I am trying to do target disk mode from a G4 iBook to the recipient G3 500 iBook. I can put the host 1.33 …

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... Upon further research, it looks like this example runs at 133MHz!

But then if i do this…. I will end up talking my self out of wanting a Quadra 840av. I want one ! Click to expand... Yeah,but then you'll have to see how over clocked you can …

I'd love a copy of your diagram if you still have it!

Some LC475 run stable at 40MHz just as they are. Why not try it before you get a large 840av? And when it works, treat yourself by getting a new 840av. ;D

from the link above: I changed MC88920 to MC88916DW80, and my LC475 is working at 42Mhz perfectly. Higher clock causes unuseable serial ports (Ummm---regrettable). Click …

There's another simpler way to get to 40 MHz which used to be available from here:http://gabezing.sytes.net/LC475-40Mhz-E.html However, that site's been unavailable for a while an…

I immediately thought about Sandra Bullock . . . [}] ]'>

*says in his best Keanu Reeves voice* Arizona Wildcats.... (i'm sorry - I saw that and immediately thought of that scene in the movie "Speed")

Some of these are hiding behind my commemorative copy of the University of Arizona's Daily Wildcat from when UofA won the NCAA title. Click to expand... I still have the T-Shir…

I just found a great link to new Mustang pics: http://www.flickr.com/groups/apple_prototypes/pool/49628751@N00/ Brutally narrowed Google search with some great hits.

My SE/30 SCSi problem has been fixed!! The via connecting pin 25 of the SCSI chip to pin 9 of the SWIM chip was corroded by leaked capacitor fluids and was no longer conducting. …

TERMPWR checks out good (+5V) on both the internal and external SCSI connectors. I actually checked it at each of the inductors first and finally at the connectors themselves. I …

if you have no TERMPOWER, that means your fuse or inductor feeding the SCSI bus and/or IC is open circuit. Testing and replacement will bring the bus alive.

Z53C80 and NCR53C80 are the same part from different manufacturers. Often, one manufacturer will license the part from another. In some cases, they develop the part independently…
