PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #3
No, I have not downloaded the manual as I didn't know if XLR8 still existed (oh dear, the dreaded google search fault).
All I have to test with that I know work are the two 300mhz…

IIfx Won't boot — #12
I took out all the memory and I still get the chime, but no keyboard click or light flash.

SE vs. Portable ROM, 8 MB RAM in SE? — #1
This tech note:

"The Macintosh Portable contains 256K of processor ROM, which is fundamentally…
SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #3
I'm a bit surprised, though, that the card is BNC-only. I'd expect an Ethernet card of the era to have both BNC and a 15-pin AUI connector. (Are you sure there isn't one and you th…

Have you downloaded the user's manual from xlr8.com and checked to make sure that the jumper/switch settings are reasonable? That is, that they are not set to speeds so fast one w…
IIfx Won't boot — #11
Already tried resetting the PRAM (got the second Chime) and reseating all the RAM and the ROM. Nothing. I have a disk in the drive, that's what I'm trying to boot from, but it ne…
IIfx Won't boot — #10
My guess is that it's not even getting to the point in the boot sequece where it tries to read from a floppy. Video would defintely help here. It seems to be past the ADB check sin…
Pismo Accident...Ugh...What Should I Expect? — #4
I haven't specifically killed a Pismo, I killed a Classic 2 and PB 150, by rushing, which you and I alike have done. I know nothing about Pismo's save for that they are nice powern…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through?
Alright, here's my fully qualified claim:

IIfx Won't boot — #9
Tried the PRAM reset again, no dice. I suppose the disk drive could be bad, but its not even hitting once. It's like the system is just sitting there waiting for something.
PM 8600 and 9600: No CPU upgrades working — #1
I picked up an XLR8 MACh Speed G3 (supposedly a 400mhz 1mb cache upgrade but it could be anything as the ZIF processor could of been swapped) processor upgrade and a Sonnet Crescen…
SUCCESS! Mac M0001 on the internet! — #24
Known to anyone confirmed by any source. I don't personally know of any earlier Macs. I'll have to go through the eBay database I am building, but yes. The earliest in the M0001 da…
IIfx Won't boot — #8
Make sure you get at least to the third chime when resetting the PRAM. Not everything is reset only on the second chime.
We also can't rule out a bad floppy drive. Do you have a…

BTW what does the jumper at J103 and J106 do (towards the front center of the board)? There's no Jumper on 103 but there is on 106.

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #7
I've heard that you can use two normal terminators in a row and it acts similar to a black terminator on the IIfx. I don't have a citation for this though.
IIfx Won't boot — #5
I was under the impression that the IIfx had NO electrolytics on the logic board. I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember. I know for sure that the Quadra 700 doesn'…

Known to whom? He's got the earliest Mac listed in that database, that's all we know.
Screen Adjust on a Mac Classic? — #25
Well I tried this on my old VERY dead Mac SE last night. Obviously I couldn't power it up to see my handy work, but I was able to get a feel for how the yoke moves and how hard I …

Actually, if I recall those Macs were taken directly off the production assembly line and not given to the team until the Mac shipped, which was not until late January. Until confi…

Thanks, Mars. (What a great club.) Any advice re how much gets borked? Motherboard and processor card only, or more than that?

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #2
From what you describe, you're pretty much stuck with a small ThinNet segment to the existing hub. This means two T connectors, two terminators and a segment of cable.
