Quadra 700 & SCSI2SD freezes — #1

Apple Ethernet AUI adapter — #2

Those tiny storage bins look like normal large storage bins.  The perspective makes it look like that AAUI adapter is the size of a briefcase.

It ain't easy to incorrectly plug the PSU's power cable in unless you are a gorilla, so the possibility that you were pushing volts into somewhere it shouldn't be and blowing up IC…

Assuming you can get composite video out of your iPad the "most available" option for an RF modulator is to use an old VCR. Most VCRs, even quite old ones, have composite in/out ja…

Vintage TV for $5! — #21

I keep a working color analog CRT TV for old game consoles. I bypass the RF converter by using a coax (from the console) to screw type adapter. Also the RCA inputs work well for st…

You need to know what you are plugging cables into before you do it. The RAM banks are spread between top and bottom (not in a row). So 2 RAM SIMMs top and 2 on the bottom or you …

Vintage TV for $5! — #20

Hmm, I thought so! The fake wood-grain look seemed to be popular in the 80's and into the 90's, and this doesn't have it, so I figured it was either before the fad, or some off-be…

Q950 restoration project — #5

I'll do that a bit later. It's put away right now. Does the Q950 have on board graphics, or could it have been part of the card I just blew?

then there is a good likelyhood the motherboard is toast now.  But, to be sure you can try measuring the voltages coming in from the power supply and make sure your not missing on…

Q950 restoration project — #3

I don't have anything other than what you see in the photos. I tried plugging it into a monitor from the d19 plug on the back of the motherboard, and nothing happens.

Ouch. Something didnt get plugged in correctly, or 1-tooth-off. They usually dont blow for no reason.  That looks like it was part of the video capture subsystem which is probably…

I'm frustrated to say the least. Why? Let's start from the beginning. I finally got a case for my various 950 parts that have been sitting for a while unused. I put them all toget…

I'd put it around 1983. I own two Electrohome sets myself. Great units for stuff that only does RF. an RCA-Coax adapter. Click to expand... It's called an "RF Modulator"…

They have a 30-pin to RCA adapter, and I got one with the intent to toy around with getting it to work on my iPhone (which has a lightening connector) with an adapter. I never got …

My guess would be iPad to RCA, then an RCA-Coax adapter. That being said, did Apple ever make an iPad to RCA Lightning cable, or was that just 30-pin?

What all would I need to connect my iPad Mini to this for YouTube and the like? I have a regular coax connection now, but what is the cheapest option to go about this?
