Oh, how sad. So... any ways I can fix it? Like... replacing all capacitors on the power supply? :O

The extra cost of a WGS9650 over a 9600 was due to the scsi card, large drive, and presumably extra RAM (small RAM in the order of 32MB was stock, remember, and not nearly enough f…

It's fairly well known the early compact Mac had power supply that was barely adequate (I must've replaced hundreds of those when I was working at a after market Mac repair shop in…

On the topic of software "compatibility," I am curious if it has more to do with copy protection and the differences between floppy drive mechanisms than it does with 64k vs 128k R…

Great score...that RAM alone would be worth the $80! Anyway, it must be quite a machine, I remember back when I was 12 (and the 9600/350 was the fastest Mac money could buy), I wou…

Hi B, It happened via Mactalk - member jmd (serious collector and no doubt on here too!) contacted me, was offered this and had no need for it, so I contacted the seller and went …

My campus is on spring break right now, but I may be going in during the week to set up our Mac mini server. I'll try out the battery idea. Any idea for a Titanium PowerBook G…

The username and password in the link for each game is wrong. If you copy the link and just delete them it will download with no trouble. Apparently a username and password are no …

Don't know. I started tracing out the power supply of the beast, but haven't got it figured out yet. It's pretty complex with stuff feeding back on itself. If anyone knows of a sch…

It would be nice to have, but at what cost?

Other than drivers for early hard disks like the HyperDrive or Corvus which used their own schemes for partitioning, like "drawers", there wasn't much that didn't work. I can't rem…

What's the story with the custom voltage regulators, and can an off-the-shelf part be substituted?

The "lisp co-processor" runs its own operating system called "Genera" which is dramatically different from windows/unix derivatives like osx and windows. The operating system is to…

Thanks guys! It so great to keep the old 68k alive. Nostalgia of my kid years. Bunsen , the site needs login and password :-( PM me please I love them games.

If you want to boot one without a good battery, you need a later PowerBook AC adapter, one that puts out at least 2 amps. I use a model M5652, which is 3.0 Amps at 7.5 Volts. It's …

i was reading that alot of older software wasnt compatible with 128K roms Click to expand... Out of curiosity, do you have a reference for that? There seems to be a lot of conf…

Very nice, everybody! Keep them coming! I'd really like to find a larger rendition of the first one I posted. I like the font in the logo.

You will find some useful links and articles here: http://lowendmac.com/quadra/quadra-700.html Here are a few games to get you started : http://www.hot.ee/macgames/

I don't think it would collide with the tube if the floppy drive in particular weren't in the way. It might well do that if attached to the riser card pictured, however. Click t…

To get the screen geometry right, ie the height:width ratio, change the desktop pattern to the one that looks like a checkerboard close up (ie grey, alternating black/white pixels)…

That last one is perfect for a steampunk monitor mod

It could well be the power manager. You can reset it - I forget the key combo, but perhaps Apple's support pages have the info.

That is indeed a beastly conquest! Might I ask where you found it? I agree with you that that is about the best pre-G3 Mac there is, and possibly some way into the G3 era. A 350…
