Thank You. Well, everything's going well, except that I can't get off this metal shelf from the back side of the 7100. Two clips are holding it. I don't want to break it up.

Indeed, Merry Christmas and all the best to you lot this holiday season!

Yea I knew they only had one slot in the I-book I even just meses my 9 installed but that is another story and the added ram runs ines fine

I have experienced SimasiMac on multiple SE/30 logic boards. SimasiMac in its truest form is a set of HORIZONTAL bars that are very clean with no stray pixels here and there. The…

merry xmas fellow RCers! :-*

SemperFi94, THAT is a classic symptom of what is called "Simasimac", or "Zebra-like pattern". I refer you to the following link below: http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/rep…

Hello I have an old Mac SE/30 that, like the title says, won't boot properly. The guy I got it from said it was working fine the week before I got it but he was freeing up space on…

Well, Bunson has got me a-thinkin about a tinker with my G4 Cube again, with his reference to dual G4/500MHz cards in a Cube. I can get one of these shipped on eBay right now for a…

The internal drive is an IDE, which doesn't seem to struggle much at all with the recording process. I have 50GB SCSI drives that could work a little better, but I haven't tried th…

Yep, I got the Centronics cable, it plugged right into the back of the CD-ROM Drive. Thanks for the reminder.

make sure, that fits onto a cable to change it (which is fine if you have a 50 pin <-> 50 pin centroncis cable)

Yeah I did some research shortly after I posted the question. You are correct it's a Centronics. I found the adapter here. http://www.computercablesource.com/scsi-adapter-centroni…

I need a 50 to 25pin adapter for the cord to plug it into my Macintosh Color Classic. I ordered one and got it today but its a tiny 50pin on the adapter and not the large wide 50 p…

I think you just need a phillips and flat head screwdriver. The screws in the back allow the top of the case to come off. the metal shelf holding the cdrom , HD, and floppy comes o…

Hey all, how to completely deassemble Power Macintosh 7100?

Hi, i don't know if somebody can help me, I have an old imac 350 MHz blueberry with 256 MB of RAM, I recently bought a 512 MB SDRAM 100MHz DIMM 3.3V ..... but when I put it on the…

If you don't mind my asking, is the drive to which you are capturing an IDE drive or scsi drive? I've been thinking of using my beige G3 in a similar manner (I have an old analogue…

my problem is at C13. i am looking in that general area to see where to scrape exactly with the idea of exposing the correct copper wire. Click to expand... I don't have any SE…

Hi Jason, I responded to your email a few minutes ago. I see that JDW gave you basically the same advice I did, but in better detail. You didn't mention the reverse polarity pro…

a big thanks to JDW for such a thorough reply. just to be clear i am *not* that dexterous with a soldering tool. in fact, this whole process of cap replacement is new to me. my pr…

I have never "partially recapped" a board and then tested it. So I cannot speak from experience in that regard. But what I can say is that if you have the caps properly oriented …

i have 220uf 35v for 220uf 16v can i use this ? and the surface pads have come up off the board for one of them. how will i make a good connection now for that capacitor?

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. O…
