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 …

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…

JDW, the pictures referred to show the decoder. Before there were little decoder boards made, people piggybacked an additional 7AS153 atop the one at F3 as in this photo: http://h…

(Are you speaking of the 7 holes shown in my photos between RP1 and C34? Click to expand... That is exactly right. There are many pictures on the forum of these mini-mux boards …

Here are my 128k logic board photos, which show top and bottom and many angles. Click on the individual photos, then click on the little "All Sizes" button above the photo to see …

I have a couple of early 128K boards; both are marked 820-0086-C in the top copper layer, and printed with a © 1983 date. Later 128K/512K boards do not need the little decoder boar…

Hi all, as this is my first posting i like to introduce myself a bit. I'm Carlo from Germany and I'm an longtime Apple user. I started with an Apple //c in 1990 and now I'm using…

Hmmm. The discussion about H2O2 makes me wonder what effect a solution of KNO3 would have... For that matter, given that the Oxi-whatever produces H2O2 can you just dispense with…

JDW: Nice work! I saw your pictures and your mac/parts/pieces look fantastic! I've been away from these forums for the summer and was glad to return and see you had given it a t…

I pulled the on board cache card from the mother board when I installed the G3 years ago. This was recommended in the Sonnet installation instructions. The 500Mhz G3 processor wo…

Is the motherboard onboard cache disabled or enabled? When I had an 8500 and a NewerTech card if I ran the onboard cache alongside the CPU cache I would have some of the same issu…

It's somewhat ironic, considering the target audience of this site. Click to expand... Just because we use this site to discuss old macs it doesn't mean we have to be able to w…

This site requires turning off stylesheets when viewed with Classilla 9.0 (View->Use Style->None), each time the link is opened in a fresh window/tab. It's somewhat i…

I had a PB100 that did the exact same thing - weird flickering screen/static noises and needed a firm slap on the 2.5" SCSI drive before it span up after years of not being turned …

Excellent. For some reason I didn't think to change the style, even though I've done it on other boards for this very reason. Argh

Change your theme to SubSilver and it works fine.

Ok, the title of this topic is maybe not the most original… sorry for that! I recently conquered a "dead" PowerBook 100 which cost me next to nothing. It came with its power brick…

I can tell you that it very seldom works on a Wallstreet.... Resetting the battery can be done in Open Firmware, I gather, on a Pismo. Mind you, it hasn't worked for my Pismo's de…

Out of curiousity... have any of you ever used BatteryReset 2.0 on a Lombard? If so, were you successful at fixing a battery? I've got a Pismo and a battery that refuses to take a…

Wow I believe this is one of those posts that should be backed up and archived.

The thing would take an aeon to start up Click to expand... An excellent point -- something I too often forget about 68k machines is the RAM check at startup. Click to expan…

I was very lucky, but it goes to show how proprietary RAM modules - must have some "play" in them to be mass produced for slightly different computers. So that's another unique th…

Wow - very impressive! Well done.
