Can you use an external CD with a Macintosh SE? I need some way to take data over to it until I get my other floppy-enabled mac out. Thanks, agg23

you have yourself a ticking time bomb... Click to expand... Click to expand... Agreed!

Nope, with the superdrive removed, the mac fired back up. that made no sense to me. Click to expand... This makes perfect sense if the Superdrive is pulling more power than the…

I'm fairly certain that "whoop-whoop-whoop" and "flup-flup-flup" or "whup-whup-whup" are all best efforts at describing the same thing: Power supply in self-protect mode. A current…

Auto suppliers are probably a good place to look for O-rings, too. Anything rated to survive life inside a car's engine bay should have no problems with the heat of a G5.

Earlier tonight I picked up a cheap iBook clamshell for $20. Unfortunately it is barebones at 32mb/3GB/CD @ 300mhz. It has the following problems: - It boots after being unplugg…

I spent a good hour just flushing the whole system so I'm preetty sure anything that was in there is not there anymore. Anyways, I was poking around and I found a part number for …

After reading this entire thread, I would like to second Porter's excellent question that would put an end to all the speculation: What component smoked? I know the starter of th…

auto coolant (mixed properly) should not effect aluminum, since a lot of cars use aluminum radiators in them just make sure you get all that gunk out, some of it looks crystalline…

That looks bloody awful! I'd check out your Yellow pages for an o-ring distributor (usually found in an industrial part of town); you could also consider using gasket silicone but…

How is it confusing? Why do we need a SECOND wiki for it? The 68kMLA Wiki allready fills the role of a "68k MacPedia"

I have two complete Liquid Cooling Units (with two 2.5ghz processor boards each) and both have unfortunately leaked. I can confirm at least one set of processors work (the other wo…

Ah.... so it's actually the paper copies before (and including?) Vol VI that are worth picking up, assuming you want to do any development for System 6 or lower? The hardware info…

Hmm, that sounds like a ram issue, try reseating it and put only one in, try many combos till it works.

The problem with the unit, is the 400k drive rejects the disk, sometimes with a happy mac, sometimes without happy mac, rejecting disk, sometimes with an 0FXXXX sadmac code, someti…

I can confirm that auto-inject SuperDrives work fine on pre-SuperDrive Macs, having used an auto-inject SuperDrive on my 128k (with 512k of RAM and 512ke/Plus ROMs fitted). However…
