Just got another Powerbook 1400; this one needs a little TLC. Is the best source of parts still Wegener Media? I need a rear foot/screw, PCMCIA door, cover latch etc. Also, does a…

Hi all, as this is my first posting i like to introduce myself a bit. I'm Carlo from Germany and I'm an longtime Apple user. I started with an Apple //c in 1990 and now I'm using…

As you are probably aware, ASP tells you which ROM is installed: $77D.40F2 revision A $77D.45F1 revision B $77D.45F2 revision C. Somewhere (but which where escapes me) is an (i…

The best way to reset the pram is to disconnect main power, disconnect the PS from the motherboard, remove the pram battery, tap the power button to kill any residual voltage, and …

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

Hi all, The various threads here about 128MiB 72-pin SIMMs working in certain machines that were never intended to use them got me thinking. What, precisely, about the Classic II …

Hmmm. The discussion about H2O2 makes me wonder what effect a solution of KNO3 would have... For that matter, given that the Oxi-whatever produces H2O2 can you just dispense with…

JDW: Nice work! I saw your pictures and your mac/parts/pieces look fantastic! I've been away from these forums for the summer and was glad to return and see you had given it a t…

Very nice!

Awwwwww, lucky! I got a 10gig 2G a while back that played stuff fine, but I could never get it to sync with my machines. Then the screen ribbon cable came apart :\

do you have the latest powerlogix software? Mine lets me go higher than that chip is rated for, so I don't see why it wouldn't do that with a 900 too.

I pulled the on board cache card from the mother board when I installed the G3 years ago. This was recommended in the Sonnet installation instructions. The 500Mhz G3 processor wo…

Thought I might post the machine I have the parts, but not the time to build - CPU - 900 MHz Powerlogix CPU - We were going to try to overclock this to 1000 MB- RV 2 I believe. I…

It's really strange. My dad bought me that computer in '92 or '93. I haven't used it since around 2000. I bought an iMac in '98 and the iMac's IDE drive is toast.

Got this gem today for the low low price of free. Almost mint condition. First Generation 10GB iPod with Scroll Wheel { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "N…

It works! It arrived today. I was able to get all of the information off of the drive, including a game that my dad was working on that I lost many years ago. :approve: I'm in mo…

Is the motherboard onboard cache disabled or enabled? When I had an 8500 and a NewerTech card if I ran the onboard cache alongside the CPU cache I would have some of the same issu…

This program and driver allow custom resolutions using built-in video on a PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 8600. I have used it to get perfect 1920x1080 on an LCD for over a m…

somebody already laid claim to it, but I do have another B&W G3 with similiar specs and I wasn't 100% on if he wants the monitor or not. So depending on that you could take…

What could I do to diagnose the problem? Click to expand... get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops

When I switch on absolutely nothing happens, no sign of anything working. That's why I checked that the mains voltage could be seen on the inside of the switch. Hence the word 'co…

Some of us here collect KIM-1s, btw. Learned how to program it in high school with the hex keypad in 6502 assembly. Still have it. Works great. It's fun to have a computer that's a…

It's somewhat ironic, considering the target audience of this site. Click to expand... Just because we use this site to discuss old macs it doesn't mean we have to be able to w…
