its not ram, as i looked on apples site and 3 dings are ram 4 is a rom, problem so i am thinking a bad frimware upgrade happend, so what I did was swap out the disk drive and the M…

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…

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Most likely, if the machine was new and it had that draw on it when it was first built, I doubt it would have given up the ghost. I am betting the …

Good luck!

Scored my third Imac that is a bondi blue, I am geting the computer in an hour as its in my neighbours trunk, (I asked if she could bring it over) She works at my school and is dr…

What component made the smoke?

Well what symptoms does the 512k show? Maybe you can fix it!

yea i realized that, but i figured the drive would still be electrically compatible. but nope.

Woah thats not good. But you should know that the 512k only supports up to 800k using an external drive! It's in the ROM! )

Learned a new lesson of the day: Dont plug in a superdrive pulled from an old LC575 series system into a mac 512k. It produces magic smoke and a dead chirping mac. Why it done thi…

Yeah, It's not like the Mods will change anything unless they want to. They don't have to change anything unless they want to, therefore they won't. Personally, I think the rules …
