Mystery iMac logic board traces — #13

It needs a SWIM chip too doesn't it? Maybe that chip is gone, but the power is still hooked up, so the floppy drive powers on and starts to read the disk but then nothing is there …

Mystery iMac logic board traces — #12

I'm pretty sure that ROM support for those devices was removed after the Rev.A machines. Luckily you can drop a 333MHz CPU module into a Rev.A : - and a bare Rev.A board should no…

Connect Security Cameras to Powerbook? — #5

That should do it. What a neat little device...just a shame it needs Zoomed video to work. (which means that it won't work with my PowerBook 1400 )

3400 recessitation?? :-( — #5

There is no magic bullet but persistence, and even that will fail if the PB is unserviceable. Check the AC adapter, for output voltage and temperature, after 5min and 1hr. Is it …

Find total RAM amount in Open Firmware — #3

It is possibly, I can't remember off-hand, but it probably involves finding the path to the RAM and getting .properties. Try doing > dev / ls to see a list of devices, and…

When I powered down for the final time, the battery still had well over 30% charge and it was no more than an hour later when I attempted and failed to boot it up again. I reset t…

3400 recessitation?? :-( — #2

There are quite a few possibilities. Just for one, the battery was barely-charged, and the presence of the CD-ROM drive (which is constantly polled by the system 'in case' there i…

Connect Security Cameras to Powerbook? — #3

Yes, I also emailed the company and they said they don't know about Macs, but it needs a capture card of some kind. So now I'm going to have to look for a capture device.

Connect Security Cameras to Powerbook? — #2

That S-Video port on the back of the Lombard only does output, not input. You'll need either a PCMCIA or USB video capture solution of some sort.
