Mustang EVT PtotoBook
I guess it's fitting that “my Eleanor” is the Mustang EVT, the prototype of a souped up 5300ce. I've had two run-ins with this machine of myth. The first tim…

Yes there was - it was briefly marketed as an upgrade for the Beige G3 (not slot compatible with AGP graphics G4s). I think it was pulled for power and/or reliability issues. You…
I sorta remember a fuse on the ADB port 5V line. Don't have a II cx to look at, but have a squint at the mobo for a little surface mount chip labelled F-something. There is also a …

The last month or so I've been busy acquiring and storing several Macs. Some were nearly complete, others not so much. They were all no-cost, though I did have to spend several hou…

SeaMonkey 2.0 was also released, and the Mac version is just gorgeous! Also r…
You might be able to fix it, sounds like you blew up something on the data side of the ADB. I think if there was fusing it would only be for the power side but I don't have the sch…
