A larger pic w/higher contrast so the chip designations are clearly legible would be a big help. Given that, and a good solder side pic, we'll be able to learn all there is to kno…

Some (most?) LCD panels have an option to display the resolution that your computer supplies in their native pitch and just be blank in the parts not covered. While the image won…

Now as you can see from the pictures, there are two chips missing/removed from the mobo. My question is, can i still start(power on) this mac without the MacMemory RAM board? ... D…

Ah thanks for that H3NRY, that's right the first Apple ][ only had an NTSC output, that's why PAL was such a headache. I agree the board is most likely an internal scan converter …

Go to the website http://www.patchburn.de and they have the needed software to "patch" the drive to be recognized under Mac OSX. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

thanks, Ill check those links out

I agree with LCGuy. The seller I got it from is most likely not Steve Landon. Even the chances of him being a reformed Steve Landon are very very low. This machine could have been…

Forgot to mention - the G4 has the original Rage128 AGP card with 16 MB RAM. It handled 1280x1024 at full color depth just fine.

A convicted felon too I believe (no not macmetex who I have purchased items from on LEMswap and Ebay with no issues).

Also, one other thing I'd like to say is that suggesting things like that is generally a bad idea...suggesting that macmetex is Steve Landon when all the evidence points to him not…

I doubt it...while I don't know a great deal about foreign eBay sellers, I think macmetex has a pretty good rep, certainly much better than Steve Landon, as well as much better com…

Your Mac shows 512K because it has the original 64K ROMs most likely. You actually have 1.5MB of RAM installed, it looks like. The mobo RAM chips have probably been replaced upgrad…

I'll give SwitchRes a try. I did find out this morning that Ubuntu does 1366x768 just fine. On the Windows side the machine is using the latest drivers from ATI, but it's a legac…

What if that ebay seller is steve Landon?

I have some spare 64K ROMs from dead boards, I should give it a go. Surely it couldn't damage anything? Click to expand... It ought to be safe. The 64K ROMs will only recognize…

could this be a PAL converter? Click to expand... It could, but it could just as well be an NTSC converter. Since Macs have their own display, there's no native NTSC or PAL vid…

Yep, I use it (mostly for the assembler at the end of the toolchain). There's extensive doc available, but there are some basic things that might be escaping your notice - like th…

Currently, the edit functionality on the forum is disabled after about fifteen minutes, I believe. However, if everything in your post is spoken for, there is a lock functionality.…

I believe this details the procedure: http://68kmla.org/files/classicmac2.pdf I have no idea if the 128K SIMMs work with any Mac. Click to expand... Now if only you had…

Although this may not help with any Macs, I have had some issues getting my roommate's television, also at 1366x768, to properly work with my Dell OptiPlex GX270. It would either b…

"THE" Steve Landon never delivers anything he sold, so that laptop is not his.

Well, the Steve Landon was born in 1981, so he's be 28 years old now. Plenty old for two kids, especially young enough to make bad KidPix pictures. (For reference, his last surfa…

...After you remove the RAM board, make sure you adjust the voltages which will fluctuate after removing the draw of the expansion board. ... Click to expand... How do I adjus…

There's a utility called SwitchRes that might provide you with the extra option for screen resolution. But it also depends on the video card in your G4 - does it have enough VRAM …

DUDE! YOU FOUND STEVE LANDON.Is there personal info? Let's get this back up. Click to expand... I'm planning to do a full disk image (even free space), so we may be able to und…
