Wow I believe this is one of those posts that should be backed up and archived.

The thing would take an aeon to start up Click to expand... An excellent point -- something I too often forget about 68k machines is the RAM check at startup. Click to expan…

I was very lucky, but it goes to show how proprietary RAM modules - must have some "play" in them to be mass produced for slightly different computers. So that's another unique th…

Wow - very impressive! Well done.

I've been busy the past few weeks with some new items: C600/240 96MB RAM 3.5GB HD USB Card Boots to 9.1 but a bit noisy G4/400 192MB RAM 20 GB HD CDRW No OS; Does not boo…

Great news - I was able to hack my 3400 128MB module to work on the Kanga! It surprised me that the 3400 128MB module didn't work - considering that the 32MB Apple module worked…

Yeah, I did an optical drive upgrade on mine; then two weeks later had the hard drive die; then a month later, when I got a MacBook Pro, decided to put the recently-installed optic…

I used to work on eMacs all the time. The only frustrating step was the pigtail wire that runs from the power button to the logic board. They made the wire so short and there is …

AH! It SUCKS to do an eMac Upgrade. There is no shield over that scary huge CRT. Erhh. It took me hours To complete a DVD Drive upgrade on mine and it doesn't work correctly . iB…

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks. Click to expand... Yeah, All iBooks were terrible to work on, clamshell included.

I've noticed that there seems to be ALOT of ebay sellers with powerbook g4's that were used as only desktops.

Congrats in the Al-PB, an excellent machine! May you and the PowerBook enjoy "peace and long life" I enjoy the 1701A bit in the username

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks.

I just had my first occasion to replace a hard drive in an eMac. My goodness, what a gigantic PIA! It was easy to do, but it took about an hour from start to finish and included s…

The 17" is portable... I bring it places, I had a 15" and same thing it portable. The 12" are nice but a bit too small for me. now there was a HP with, I believe a 21 inch screen…

My games work well under the mac mini, as I sold the G5 on ebay for 750.00 + 35.00 shipping. Given the fact that the G5 was a good computer it was also huge and no-a-days I'd like…

System 7.6.1. is exactly what I am booting, and exactly as shown in your video. Very interesting theory. (I am yet order a new battery, I shall find out in a few weeks)

From memory it's doubtfull that 128Mb simms would work... Still I'd love to hear that it did work... I record video with my 840av sometimes & the more memory the better..…

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I run NetBSD on a number of m68k machines, and having just one machine which can compile those huge packages (…

I found that earlier, but wans't sure which to download. I'm dual booting XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm thinking the Vista drivers might work with 7. Windows' generic drivers…

I couldn't get a ROM 03 into my Woz fast enough. Who cares if it's not original; that, some RAM, a Transwarp and an AE HD make it a wonderful little box.

this is what google pops up http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi/2940/AHA-2940AU/ the 2000 driver should work fine on windows 2000 and 32 bit xp, if it is not just a generi…

smooth platter spin is a good sign, course you wont really know until you engage the heads is there a name on the card?

My Quadra 700 does the exact same thing when booting 7.6.1. (Maybe other OSs but I haven't run any others in a long while.) It chimes, starts just enough to turn the CRT LED green,…
