I've got a dead PB100 that's been sitting in my closet for some time. The battery refuses to budge when I try to move it (the door won't move at all). Any tips for successful remov…

NVM I got an 550 board Now will a 575 board work in a 550? Also does the 575 and 550 use the same type of ram?

Know anyone selling an LC 550 board?

You have done one of the following, I trust: 1. Video hack to allow CC video operation in 640x480, which the replacement logic board demands (which I do not recommend as it effect…

Indeed, Merry Christmas and all the best to you lot this holiday season!

back in the day i used to use the IBM models of the 1GB and 2GB drives they were cheap enough... had to use the hacked SC setup though...

IIRC, for 8.1 you need to install the OS as a "fat binary" system containing both 68k and PPC code. I think you do this by selecting to install "For any Mac"

Going to try System Enabler 065 version 1.0 tomorrow with enabler 403. Hopefully that will work.

anyone know what the LCD model number is for the active matrix? i got a ton of active matrix LCDs laying around, might have one that compatible....

That didn't work either.

I think I'm going to give System Enabler 1.1 a shot and replace the 1.0 enabler with that on the hard drive. Then boot off the 7.6.1 CD with the 575 board installed. I'll give you…

Update: Put barebones System Folder I extracted from 7.6.1 CD-ROM which I then put on a boot disk CD-ROM, booted from disk, copied System Folder to HardDisk with the System Enabler…

I have experienced SimasiMac on multiple SE/30 logic boards. SimasiMac in its truest form is a set of HORIZONTAL bars that are very clean with no stray pixels here and there. The…

Seconded. I use a PowerMac 8500 all the time and its PRAM battery is dead, so I have to set the date each time I power it up (I turn off the outlet strip to it at night). Recently …

I would have thought that it should work straightforwardly under 7.6.1; the ppc upgrade cards reportedly required only 7.5.2 (buggy) or above. There was a NuPower extension that we…
