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.

Great news - I was able to hack my 3400 128MB module to work on the Kanga! It surprised me that the 3400 128MB module didn't work - considering that the 32MB Apple module worked…

From memory it's doubtfull that 128Mb simms would work... Still I'd love to hear that it did work... I record video with my 840av sometimes & the more memory the better..…

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I run NetBSD on a number of m68k machines, and having just one machine which can compile those huge packages (…

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I think it'd be pretty much like beachycove said -- you'd do it just to say you did. If I ever come across…

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Would it be possible to install the OS to a RAM disk assuming you never shut the machine down? You'd have to reboot to use the OS fr…

I have never used anywhere near 128MB running OS 8.1 and apps that run on a 68K. The extra RAM is just for bragging I guess.
