I couldn't get Netscape to install on 7.5.3 and I think my IE installer was corrupted, so I'll need to look for another copy / older version.  I do have an IRC client and an SSH cl…

Well... Do you have a program to establish a connection to another computer?  You can connect via http (netscape), ftp (fetch), or to another apple file server on another connecte…

i don't think those traces are bad,  i think if you change those caps it might work again.

I posted this IIvi over on the trading post, but I figured I'd ask here about this specific problem. When it went away in storage about 10 years ago, the colours on the display we…

It's not a lot, 530 vs 490. Probably is a thermal issue.

If you ever want to sell it, let me know

No you're right it's right there Plainview must be the freaking lead fumes On my end.

Actually, P86 is apparently the eMac's name. This FCC testing document for the Airport Extreme has pictures of the eMac but says "P86" or "P86 EMAC". { "lightbox_close": "…

I don't know, but the 1GHz iMac G4 benchmarks slower than the 1GHz eMac, despite the iMac using DDR and the eMac PC133. And I wasn't saying it's a fake or anything, just that you …

There also appears to be, what looks like, another little port...it's black... about an inch below the white port in that first picture... that's not on production models.

That looks like it's for an APX card adapter.

I have a couple of reset buttons on my G4 EVT that aren't on production models... and it looks like yours has them too! and that longish white port in the middle too! neat!  No ide…

Not seeing a P86 listed, and Apollo was used for the Classic II. That being said, P88 was used for the 1GHz TiBook, and it's not like Apple never recycles codenames.

It does not help too that Apple's modeling number system is a joke. MacTracker shows 5 "models". 700/800mhz April 2002-May 2003 800/1000mhz May 2003-Oct 2003 1000mhz Oct 2003-Ap…

^-----------------------  ah education only … will get cha every time.

^ Not sure what you mean, but there were 1ghz models. And as much as I hate the eMac, thats cool. Protos are always sweet finds! And an EVT in the wild is an odd thing. PVTs yes, …

If stiction is the problem, a light tap on the side of the hard drive can temporarily help. Not always, but it's happened before. If it does get the drive going, don't turn it off …

so production models went right form 800mhz to 1.25ghz  ?

cool man!

I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it. Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa …

pretty sure the differences between the ROM 1 and 2 versions are not important.  If you decide you want to be particular, thats totally cool,    but if you are really trying to fix…
