Thanks JRL.
I took your advice and did the alcohol wash and pram battery replacement.
I was able, with the help of a friend, to locate a cap with the value I needed. I didn't…
Nice score - welcome to the club! Can't say I've ever heard of an 840AV that didn't come with a CD drive, unless the blanking plate is wrong.
I picked up a very sick 840AV a coup…

Turn off your caps lock please.
Congratulations on your success. If you could put up some photos and details of the modifications you had to make, that would be terrific.
A full cap replacement (as well as a good rubbing alcohol scrub where the battery leaked and a new battery as well) should do the trick. In turn, the SE FDHD will last for a very l…
I've got an old SE FDHD with a problem. I had set it up for my 10 yr old nephew with system 6.0.8 and a copy of MOTU Performer 2.2 to get him started with keyboards and midi. It wa…
I think when Macs shifted to the "New World" ROM-in-RAM, support for machines newer than the OS - i.e. 9.1 on later model G4s - was provided by new Mac OS ROM files. So Trash is ba…

Have you bothered to replace the CPU card with another 604/e/ev to see if it's the CPU Card?

OS 9 came out before that PowerMac though. So it's possible that the G4 either has a specially compiled version of the Finder/System, or there is an enabler (going back to the old…

First, the basics : I run system 6.0.8, the Etherwave bridge is connected to the modem port of the Plus on one side and to my router on the other (and is 12V plugged too...).
