You can avoid the CRT altogether if you're just working on the logic board. You won't need to remove the CRT or the analog board to access it. I don't normally discharge my CRTs. …

I have a Raius 81/110 (no 8100), that case would damage the sledge! Oddly enough the 6100 seems to be ok and of the same vintage (7100 is mostly metal). I swear the 8500 and 9500 …

You need to be more careful. I have been in and out of a 8500 so many times (same with an Q800/840AV) I can get to RAM in a minute if that.If I took a sledgehammer to a 8500 it wou…

I cut my hand quite badly the last time I had to install RAM in an 8500. If I were ever going to act out the printer scene from Office Space, it would be with an 8500. No computer …

.. folks seem to run at 20 - 25 MHz even after they've swapped in an 88916. There might be problems if the 88916 gets hot or otherwise loses margin, I imagine. Click to expand…

Sure, and Tukwila is the same way. But Power6 and Power7 both really get starved for data quickly if their caches aren't full, and take a bigger penalty than other architectures in…

It's always safest to discharge the monitor before working on a compact Mac. Though you *should* be able to remove and work on the logic board without messing with the CRT. Do so a…

Just for completeness sake...when the Kansas/MachV machines came out, Apple kept the nice 8600 and 9600 case and kept the x600 power supply pinout, but changed the motherboard agai…

Nah. I have a Macintosh Plus with a dead battery also, and the only noticeable effect is that the date/time reverts to something like 1/1/1904 at 12:00 am every time I turn it on.…

Ok so I cleaned all the ram and I checked the capacitors and there is just glue. I found out that the clock battery is dead, could that cause it?

Do you have a picture of the card?

. . . Then again I just spent the last 2 days trying to get the full 3 Gig/sec out of our IBM Z10 Mainframe OSA card setup. It can be done, but not without jacking the dispatch…

It's a lot of fun running Apple II stuff on a Color Classic (mine has an Apple II card in it and a UniDisk 5.25"). I'd strongly recommend tracking one down -- short of a IIc it's a…

Yes indeed they are full duplex. The Asante utility that ships with it shows it as well. Asante was always a class act as far as I can remember. Yeah, my standards are pretty hig…

Yeah, cache is so important on those G4s because of the system bus. I notice that POWER7 is strongly emphasizing cache as well, which means that as much as things change they stay …

Just a thought....perhaps you could run the Apple II software on an Apple II emulator on a Mac, or even a PC? As long as you own as many real Apple IIs as you do systems you wish t…
