Unfortunately, the only way you're going to be able to test for anything is with a multimeter.

HOLY CRAP! THE Steve Landon! How'd you get that?! This guy has been hunted for years!

As much as I'd love to take it up to say, a gig...I can't imagine being able to find 2 512MB PC133 sticks around here for anywhere near a price that I'd want to pay. Click to ex…

"Steve Landon's Computer" Click to expand... Heheheheheh. Good times. Now let's work out who he stole that machine from.

WOW! Another reason not to smoke my friends.

Another note, I use tiger as my OS of choice on my 350MMHZ Slotloader and 'tis is fine.

Post pictures to imageshack and then embed them here. For a start you may want to remove the extra board.

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…

Sounds like typical symptoms of capacitor leakage. My Classic II gave me the jailbars a few years back, washed the board and although the sound never returned, the machine was as g…

I have a classic II that had a similar problem, it was cap leakage.

Hehe I was waiting for someone to see the CD-ROM and go "wtf" Indeed it is by my own hand. On a poor resolution iPhone camera it looks like a decent job, however up close you can …

Methinks the classic II is slightly dead. Pulled the thing apart again, the motherboard was fairly free of dust. Examined the RAM and connectors, no tarnishing or discolouration.…

I have to agree with the consensus that the CD-ROM equipped IIsi is a hack. But one well-executed hack, at least from the outside. When I get my IIsi out of storage, I may have t…

That could be a sign that your power outlet isn't grounded properly. I have two outlets in my house that are grounded "differently" than the rest of the house. If I connect a pie…

"Software for processor cards in PCI power macs is not *required* since it replaces the original processor. It will run just fine, except Apple System Profiler may not display the …

That is weird. None of the Mac fan sites that I can find makes any mention of a IIsi coming with an internal CD ROM or of any upgrades from Apple or third parties to allow that. Yo…

Austin's Goodwill Compter Works is excellent, and there are several other computer recycle / resale operations, as you'd expect in a university town. Click to expand... What ar…

I remember hearing back in the day of people getting OS 8.5 - 9 to work on PPC upgraded Quadras by using a program such as Wish I Were to change the Getstalt ID to that of a simila…

Yep, that machine most certainly does have an internal CD-ROM...likewise I'd be really interested to see a pic of the guts of the machine.

Is it just me or does that IIsi have an internal CD-ROM? If so, how exactly did you go about putting that in?

Well scored there LCGuy! Getting the machine over 512MB will make a big difference in OS X - but it should still run adequately. And they make great DVD players, especially with th…

I hacked the Mom account with brute force. It didn't take very long. The password was "mom". Here is Apple System Profiler. I think I have the PDQ because of the L2 Cache. Un…

Yeah, for the time they were tiny. By today's standards, not so much.

Ah! It's not a real hyperdrive. I opened it up and no hard drive, controller, etc. Just a 512k with a HyperDrive case, for whatever reason. Oh well, it's still cool. One of these d…

I think that some of the RAM might be bad, because the 8100 is now unstable. I'm getting random Finder quits, hangs, and even a System bomb on startup (you know, the fun kind, wher…
