I did a youtube video on this machine. best way for me is to get pictures of it. Anyway, yes its an LCIII as it has 1 ram slot, and an FPU socket.

Paralel: I believe that's something to do with the Mac drive heads having higher magnetic coercivity or some such - that is, they exert a stronger force on the low-level magnetic f…

I think IDE drives top out at 750GB. But yes everything should work.

1) I would guess the MDD supports LBA IDE drives, correct? Click to expand... If you can find a PATA drive, the MDD can take it. 2) IDE drives top out at 500GB or so -…

The only problem I've ever really had with that adapter is that on the some machines, you need to position it very correctly or else you are prone to ripping ports off of your boar…

Ok. Next bit: The Colour Classic : { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested cont…

I cleaned the rollers on my last voyage into that thing. Where's the mirror?

Clean the rollers and optical mirror of loose toner or dust, and most likely you need a new toner cart.

I just picked up a decent Dual 867 MDD G4 at goodwill for $75. I figured I can make this into a decent file server. I actually have a copy of Leopard server I might throw on it, b…

Possibilities: 1. God sent you this rarity so that you could sell it for lots of money on eBay (genuinely a one-off) and give the proceeds to the poor. 2. What LCGuy said - it's …

An update: This is the output from the printer: (a followup post with pics of the Colour Classic running will ... well, follow.) As you will see, the printouts are generally gray,…

I corrected on the techtool, thought it was TTP 6, but only 5.07 is out right now.

If the kids were ****ing in the software bin, perhaps you didn't want to find the fifth cd *bites lip* }

From MECC: Super Munchers Museum Madness Broderbund: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego and from Mindscape (PC) Creatures! I miss this game. Gonna have to see if I can load it …

Clean battery contacts. Reset battery management software. Fast and pray.

I have no idea...no LCIII ever shipped with anything less than a 25 Mhz 68030. Are you sure that its actually an LCIII board and not an LCII board? If its an LCIII board, it will h…

Perhaps there's someone out there who can enlighten me about this problem. I have a G3 400MHz Lombard with 10.3.9/9.2.2. It refuses to charge or run on the main battery. It runs…

I don't have a 1xx series with vid-out to test out on handy at the moment; but try with the lid closed, using an external keyboard. Works on the Duos (with minidock, of course,) a…

. . . as the active desktop? I've never had a PowerBook with Video Out until recently and haven't even played with one as yet! :-/ Is there a magic key combo that'll get th…

I just picked up a macintosh LC III and it works ok, although the capacitors are failing. What i noticed, is everwhere i read the macintosh LCIII has a 25mhz 030. Mine has the exa…

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his ca…

Could be that the DVD drive doesn´t work correctly. But I had no problems with reading CDs and DVDs at OS 9 at all. Only booting works only sometimes. And it works well when no OS …

The AudioVision adapter cable on Flickr (no, not my pic).

Good success with a TEAC CD-244e this morning. The 12x drive faceplate is a perfect fit for the mounting holes and the PB1400 recognized the drive without any problems. So, to anyo…

The great thing about the 6500 is that you can plug in an external set of speakers and then still make use of the sub-woofer. I'm running a pair of old 1994 apple speakers (came wi…
