The RTClock / calendar / PRAM chip has its own 32KHz crystal. Everything else runs off the "16MHz" clock. If you don't care about serial baud rates, floppy read / write, or video s…

You sure that was an ADB-PS/2 adapter?

Hmm, my SE does something similar when the System file is present but not the Finder file. Not sure if this is related though.

Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and w…

Some of these are on my site.

Does anyone still have these? I have 2 WGS95's with actual A/UX media, and would love to get Oracle for them. I'm more than willing to set up a FTP for this type of thing, if someo…

Well, if and when tiger loses modern browser support you still might want to get on the entire internet. A kvm is a great idea if you have the space for another machine and if so g…

Yeah, I know! I am excited, with the release of Snow Leopard we'll be seeing all kind of curb things. Some day PowerMac G5s! But this machine is the cutoff for newworld machines …

Nice to see kerb scores entering the New World ROM age, and right on schedule

You can always dualboot between tiger and leopard. Click to expand... That makes no sense; then I might as well use a different system that boots OS 9 and a KVM or something ra…

The fact that Grackle68k exists is wonderful / because the tiny slice of the population who still earnestly uses OS 9 is either clinically paranoid, hasn't read a software review s…

The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated. ~ A year later it started up again so I just lubricated it myself. Anyway... lubricate the eMac fan, …

I have 10.5 on my G5. I don't see why you should limit yourself to 10.4. Just get a nice souped up G4 to run your Classic apps, and then you can run them on the real OS 9 and not i…

You can always dualboot between tiger and leopard.

I wish we had curbs :'(

Uncommon but not really valuable as they can't do anything but what they were intended.

I love my pismo quite a bit. I got mine for free from Cory5412 a while ago. I got it a new palmrest/LCD assembly. It looks amazing, but its got one outstanding issue I've yet to co…

RAM can go flaky suddenly, though it's rare. Best memory test seems to be one called rember. You should also check the battery voltage, since if it's low that can lead to all sorts…

Cool are those valuable?

i just looked no way am i gonna pay $230 for one! i can get an ibook g4 for that much { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "…

Its a DVD decoder daughter board.

Sweet. I have a 400MHz model and it's easily one of my favorite Macs of all time. The hot-swappable bays, Firewire, USB, PCMCIA, Airport...just a great machine! I recently score…

the cd/dvd drive works fine now, there was a piece of ?plastic? preventing the disks from going in correctly. i found the battery only to have about an hr of charge. I have a limit…
