That certainly would make some sense electrically if all that is different is a higher ohm rating of the total termination value. Might have to try that at some point when I have …

While the mini isn't as visually robust as a PowerMac G5, I have a hard time thinking of ways in which it is actually less capable at anything. Click to expand... GPU power is …

CPU Director for OS 9 does a better job than XLR8s, and no serial required! You also need to couple the multiplier with a bus speed the 8600/9600 likes; most don't like to be push…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through? Click to expand... He's been saving them. He uses them to build a database that can dist…

Okay, so I got the XLR8 to work (and it took a bit of digging as of course, there is a Ben 10 character with the same name...) and now I'm running a G3 at a blazingly fast 400mhz (…

Just so everyone knows, the 0.5 version is a little quirky under Leopard. It is very hard to get the settings just right because when you mouse over and click the slider bars start…

Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…

id put a multimeter on it and at least see if its putting out 12v and 5v on the drive power lines, regardless on how much power your drawing from it, your not going to get very far…

No clue, but I did unplug the monitor from the second plug on the power supply just in case it was drawing too much power.

It gets really confusing when you wander into one of the NuBus cards that actually is a video card plus network card, such as the E-Machines ColorLink series. I have one with RJ-4…

have any clue what voltages the power supply is putting out

I did. No dice.

Try a different cable as well as a different floppy drive.

As far as I know they were all just used for RAM disks. Didn't the original Daystar cards have some kind of bridge for connecting to other Daystar cards without using the Nubus?

Yeah I tried that, it still doesn't work. I'm starting to think the floppy has died. I do have a spare Superdisk drive that got out of a dead Classic that I can try. IIRC it did…

On top of making noises, the floppy drive should should eject any disk that it can't boot from. So, just the fact that it's getting to a blinking "?" and NOT booting or ejecting th…

This tech note: http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/technotes/hw/hw_520.html states that: "There is no way that the Macintosh operating system can recognize NuBus RAM …

Sonnet upgrade cards usually require no configuration, so apart from cleaning the contacts with an eraser I'd suggest it's faulty. The XLR8 will need to have the correct CPU multi…

It all happens fairly fast and it never tried to go to the disk drive (HD is still unplugged). Shouldn't it at least take a little time to do the memory check? Click to expand.…

Can you tell, is the question mark blinking on the disk? Disk drive troubleshooting: When the Mac is first powered on, there should be a chirp from the stepper motor that moves t…

I got my dual 2.5 LCU G5 for $20 (well, more like $40 after the repairs were made to the LCU) as a replacement to my trusty old 9600 and I love it. lots-o-ram, lots-o-disk space, …

Ok interesting little development. On a whim I put all the memory back in and plugged the IIgs monitor into the card. The monitor isn't perfect, but I can sort of see what's goin…

Try installing only 4 matching RAM SIMMs in RAM Bank A, leaving Bank B empty. Then try the other set of 4 matching RAM SIMMs in Bank A, again leaving Bank B empty. If it still do…

That's an interesting notion, but I kind doubt its application in the "real world," but I've been wrong before. If you want to address more RAM in the SE, watch eBay for one of the…
