I've ignored the war room discussion about this issue, so I was just as surprised as anyone else. That being said, I didn't have any problem at all quoting something for context in…

and a lot more work! I would definitely put a socket in for any chip I removed, but it's a big job to do it unnecessarily for all of them, and might cause more problems than it's …

Most EDO will work, but it's not used on any of the x500 or x600 motherboards from Apple. The reason that the speed matters is that there were plenty of models which drove the mem…

You might as well remove all the chips and put in some good sockets. You can then choose between having 128k of memory with 64k x 1 chips or 512k with 256k x 1. It was a common upg…

As for finding replacement chips, it's hard to say. There might be a chip usable for this on http://www.arcadecomponents.com/memory.html, but I don't know enough to say much on tha…

That sounds like a safe bet according to my book (MacWEEK Upgrading and repairing your mac). The tables are a little hard to decipher, but i'm guessing it's a class code 4 (Memory …

The error code theoretically tells you exactly which chips to replace. I don't have the codes handy at the moment but they can be found almost anywhere on the net. I've checked out…

Good point Bunsen. There was some software that allowed one to use both serial ports. This is exactly why the PowerBook 100 had a modem port replacement serial port, as many musici…

Thanks for the reply. The information I can find says that the 8600/9600 can use either EDO or FPM, but the Kansas MB's needed 60NS sticks. Of the two 8600's here, the 8600/200 h…

So I replaced the power board in my 128k and I am now getting Sad Mac 040002 at bootup. From what I can gather there is some bad memory on the motherboard that causes this. Does an…

It's not like you're being paid to post more often or to be able to post very quickly. Click to expand... Exactly my point! We're not forced to post here, so once it becomes to…

The Midibox sequencer's response time is measured in nanoseconds. Of course, as you point out, MIDI is a serial protocol and very low bandwidth, so there is a limit to the timing …

If you start up while holding Option-Apple-O-F, can you get back to the Open Firmware prompt? Another thing to try is a verbose boot - hold down V (or Apple-V) during startup. It…

Apple didn't start using SDRAM (aka PC66, PC100 and/or PC133) type sticks until the Beige Power Macintosh G3 and G3 All-In-One models; sometime in late 1997 or early 1998. So, tha…

Anybody who used quotes in a reasonable manner shouldn't be affected anyway. If it takes you even fifteen full additional seconds to find the text you wanted to talk about and then…

If you have such a problem with people quoting uncontrollably, why not just PM them to stop doing it so much? Instead of ruining it for the rest of us?

I can't believe I used to print everything out and then OCR it back in! Click to expand... OMG OCR! I type it all in octal on a telephone pad

I took apart my Macintosh Portable this evening to make a count of the different capacitors I'll be needing to replace as part of the standard "holy crap this is old I need to repl…

There's 512MB of Ram (4 sticks) in the 9600 I just got but I can't find anything on the Chipmunk site that corresponds to the chip markings. They're Sonnet sticks but the Sonnet l…

You can still easily quote from the "Post a Reply" page. Click to expand... You know, until this thread came up I didn't notice the quote button on the reply page... I also did…

All you've done is inconvenienced people. Click to expand... not really, honestly I forget the quote button is there, why? I usually just highlight the point I want to focus o…

Yeah seriously! Are you just trying to make it us harder for us?

I can't see what the big deal is, you should still be able to use quotes via BBCode. Its not as if we've banned quotes completely. This is a test. Testing testing one two thr…

That does sound like corrupt PRAM, if you wound up in Open Firmware (the mac-boot prompt). Check your battery voltage - should be 3.6V minimum. If the battery is OK, then press the…

Sometimes I question why I allow myself to be treated to this... Arg. This is just horrible. Time to make a new 68k Forum Nah, just kidding. I guess we'll have to live with lo…
