Each adapter has its own settings for the switches, you need to either see if there are settings on the adapter itself (look on both sides), or figure out who made it and google. M…

Hi all, my first time here.Someone recently gave me a 9600/233 Power Mac that has a 21" Sony Trinitron G500 monitor. The monitor is connected to the 15 pin out of the computer via…

Hmm, I'm going really really far back in my memory, but try 100011 100001 100010 Then try with possibly adding the second bit on.... I MIGHT still have a few of the 6 bit adap…

Most CRT circuits have quite minimal self-discharge means, and the compacts are no exception. Click to expand... From what I've heard, only the newer compact Macs, such as the …

Learn something new everyday! Thanks a lot for the feedback! After doing that screwdriver trick to over 200 macs back in the day, I still don't like that moment right before cont…

There is no need to perform the CRT discharge ritual if you are not going to remove the HV lead from the CRT. Yes, it's standard advice from the manufacturer, but following it make…

Is that right? OR does the automatic discharge of the crt only happen on the SE line?? I worked on LOT'S of the 128, 512, Plus models in college, and we ALWAYS screwdriver discha…

Update on the Mini. I was asked to pull some files off the drive, which diskwarrior allowed me to do even though it could not repair the error. I just finished wiping the drive a…

I have a PC PCI version of the 5500 that I bought for a liquidation price of $75 unopened shortly after 3dfx threw in the towel. I got it because it was looking at that time like t…

I know Amiga users with PCI busboard upgrades love the PCI Voodoo 5500 because they have drivers that support 3dfx. As far as keeping it or selling it, that depends what you will …

Voodoo 5 5500 The Voodoo 5 5500 comes in three flavors: a universal AGP version (AGP 1/2x, prototypes were made with AGP4x-interface) with full sideband support, PCI, and the Mac …

That 5500 is the mac edition then, the PC ones had just VGA I think.

I picked up a G3 Platinum Minitower overclocked to 466MHz today, with a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI card installed (the one with DVI and VGA). The Voodoo card was, of course, the real prize.…

Geeko, You can use most of any 50-pin SCSI drive in existence. Just be aware that if the replacement drive doesn't have an Apple logo, or indicate that it is Apple formatted on i…

I recommend a Quantum ProDrive LPS. These drives were used by Apple in the early 1990s, mostly in LCs, and can easily be had for a few dollars (often as part of an LC or LCII). The…

It would help, since System 6's HD SC Setup won't be able to partition it. But it *MIGHT* pop up as "unformatted disk, would you like to format?"
