or both, altho CA glue tends to be abit brittle, but i cant think of anything else that would wick its way into the crack as easy

Or you can try filling the crack with cyanoacrylate (aka Krazy Glue/SuperGlue)

ISTR that you shouldn't mix EDO and FPM RAM in one machine: can't recall if that's "no boot" bad, or "escaping magic smoke" bad.

I did get it, and it looks great. Not a lot of yellowing, either. Shipped in an original Power Mac 8100/80 box with styrofoam. Kinda neat to have that, too. The floppy drive bezel …

So did you get the 840AV - hows it look? I'm pretty sure I've a 32MB EDO SIMM in my 840AV - it won't hurt - give it a shot - but ideally you should go for FPM. ECC EDO RAM def…

The traditional way to prevent cracks from going further is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Not flash, but will save the plastic from further cracking. JB

Well I got a bunch of memory on craigslist the other day for REALLY cheap. Guaranteed to work or my money back. They're 72pin 60ns SIMMs, but they're EDO, and I wanted to make sure…

Finally got my Lombard back up to 512MB RAM. So nice.... Anyway, I noticed on the bottom of the case that there is a crack from the Apple logo to about 2/3rds of the way to the r…

As far as I know, the memory check can't be turned off in the Memory Control Panel on a Quadra. I seem to recall that it requires a PPC and MacOS8 — possibly 8.5 or 8.6. It require…

The eMac 9.2.2 disc is a good one. The version I have has Mac OS ROM 10.1.1, which is one of the highest versions. I don't think any bootable, 9.2.2 install discs have the higher 1…

For the records: A 9.2.2 CD bundled with a later G4 worked quite well. It´s still verry strange to me, but the bought 9.1 refuses to boot, but a 9.2.2 works (even if it was made fo…

I've forgotten the difference between the 64K ROMs. It was something very minor to do with the ROM debugger IIR (we were hoping for a fix for >512K of RAM of course). Cli…

Your 9.1 CD is probably a few months older than your G4, and it lacks some driver needed to boot the Mac. Similarly, my new Mini came with Leopard, but it won't boot from a 10.5.0 …

Mr T, it's quite likely the motherboard in your Mac is the original, though upgraded to 512K. The original boards were shipped in 128Ks even after the Fat Mac 512K was introduced. …

So to be truly stock your ROMs should be 342-0220/1-A ©1983 variety, NOT 342-0220/1-B ©1984. Click to expand... Henry, since Beck-Tech read out the Apple ROMs to develop its me…

Don't you hold down some modifier key as you open the Memory control panel and it gives you that option? I remember something like that. Because really, RAM doesn't fail all that…

I like to know if one can determine by the label on the back of the macintosh case or better by the serial number what revision of the logic board has to be in it. The best would…

Carlo, since my HyperDrive 20 Mac is a Macintosh 512k with the "512k" label on back and with a stock Macintosh 512k board that has never been swapped out or upgraded, I am happy to…

I first wanted to hear from PB100 owners … Click to expand... Err what I posted about was expressly about a PB100, unless I'm wrong! JB Click to expand... Sure! I just …

Carlo (Mr.T), after reading your post again I see that you are expressing disappointment over not having a stock 128k. What I can say is that 128k logic boards are often sold on E…

Thanks for the answer! First though I'd reseat the RAM and rebuild everything. Then I'd do the old "clean the board with metho" or put in in a dishwasher, leave to dry for …

Beck-Tech's modified ROM was exactly the same as the original, except that in about a dozen places, Andy had hard-coded the screen address for 512KB of RAM, and those needed to be …
