Yes, pretty much. It almost appears like the capacitor goop went into a vapor phase and then more or less precipitated out onto …

Does it get louder when the screen is brighter? or is the computer is working on lots of files at once?
Another PB G3 (this time a "101") — #2
Congrats on your find geeko! I wonder if they have any batteries, and if they are any good.
Anyway, the PowerBook G3 Lombard was the first PowerBook to use the New World ROM. A…

Thanks for confirming that it works for someone besides me! What resolution are you running the 8600 at with it?

IIci - Bringing back my 1st Mac — #2

Noidentity,
This worked great on my 8600 built-in video. Can you post the version for the 9600? I have a Twin-Turbo 128 M8A that I think is the same as the 9600 PCI card.

SSD question — #3
There is such thing as a SCSI SSD so I believe it will be easy to find a ATA one. Another kludge you can use is:
Getting a 2 Compactflash enclosure that goes to EIDE

SSD question — #2
I'm sure the price will drop. Look at how much flash drives and camera memory cards have come down in the last couple of years.
Most of the SSDs made will be SATA but there will b…

I have an internal Assante ethernet that works with one of my SE/30 units. I have moved it to the other one, and this causes a boot error. I have washed the board, and will be re…

High ho, Quicksilver! — #10
Thanks H3NRY. I'll probably wait on the QS CPU upgrade till I transfer the Cube logic into a CC or SE- there should be plenty of room to work with then.
