You don't need to remove the CRT. From the manual 1. Disconnect the short speaker cable next to the speaker. 2. Note: If you are certain a speaker is faulty, the easiest re…

Maybe luddite could write a bit about his Contiki experiences for us, and explain the differences between the 1.x and 2.x branches. I recently read something about 2.x being focus…

Standing tall. Restoration complete. I've officially named her "Kiva", after the development codename for the last generation Summer 2001 750CXe based iMacs. Now I just need to pi…

I believe you have to remove the crt. But I could be wrong.

Also, I'd just like to say whoever thought it was a brilliant idea to put so much plastic in the *internal* chasis out to be drug out into the street and shot. This stuff gets VERY…

Okay, I'm stumped on this one. I've torn apart my 350Mhz Idigo because I plan on robbing it for parts in case my 500, or another machine I'm hoping to get, goes down (hopefully not…

I played with it a bit last year... I was hoping to get a proline bbs online, but the message board part is pretty archaic and I wasn't up to the task of writing a new one. Neat to…

I took a look at ProLine last night, since it apparently has a lot of Unix-like architecture. Click to expand... Except I don't believe it does multitasking, does it? Click …

I think the closest you'll come to something that works out of the box w/o a lot of work is Contiki. I don't have any experience with it, but some people around here do.

6:53 PM The iMac is reassembled and seems to be taking well to the new CRT. The logic board eventually came good after a few resets (and after properly attaching all screws, go fi…

Well, it looks like the fault is in the PAV board itself. Not dead, but still very weak. Solution? The "donor" system arrived today. It's an Indigo G3, case is pretty scuffed but…

Thanks for the links. I have no idea if I'll be able to pull it off or not. Looking around, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of success stories. With more searching, I found t…

What about the MMU in the //e? Click to expand... You might want to take a look at a couple of projects that have come before. But first, you probably want to abandon all hope…

What about the MMU in the //e? Click to expand... How much memory does the MMU page in and out at a time? Both granularity, and within the memory map of the 6502? Click to e…

Who would have guessed? I found this on Apple's site. It's ancient: Super Serial Card: Using with Machine Language

Yeah, I have first hand experience with a broken tube.. Still alive to this day.

Also the 6502 has no virtual memory management, so fork() becomes meaningless. Click to expand... What about the MMU in the //e?

Urg, 6502 is one of the worst processors for C let alone UNIX. The size of the stack (256 bytes) is crippling. So you have to do the stack yourself. Also the 6502 has no virtual me…

Ok, now I'm just really pushing things here, aren't I? Aside from my project to write a network game for the Apple II, I also want to look into Unix or any other multi-tasking i…

Yes, when not discharged a CRT can hold up to 27,000 volts. However, there's also an even bigger risk of the CRT neck (which is VERY fragile!) being cracked or broken if handled in…

I hope this doesn't seem like thread hijacking. It's kinda related... What are the risks of disassmbling an iMac down to the CRT? I'm always heard that CRTs are oh-so-dangerous be…

iMac600, if you need parts, let me know. I've got a iMac DV SE with 500 Mhz G3, Firewire 400, that currently has a bad P.A.V. Board I need to get rid of. It's either that or I've…
