Wow! Nice work

It's not an April fools joke (just unfortunate timing on my part). Basically we're moving the forums over to a new server, so the DNS records on all the domains need updated to re…

There are two things. 1. One of the admins with whom we haven't been able to get contact for awhile has control of 68kMLA.net 2. We are changing hosts for the forum, and because …

Oh yeah. Taking them apart is a *****.

Yeah I don't see the reason...

Very nice score...faster than the iMac I got recently too And yes, I have to agree with you on the speakers...apart from the BOSE system on the TAM they're probably the best bui…

http://www.jasik.com/index.html MacNosy is actually still sold. I thought it was not so expensive, but it is $225. However, given that it has been around since either 1984 or 19…

I'm curious as to the reason for this? Maybe it's an April Fools joke.

Thank you again. I appreciate the help. If you would like to share your background, I would enjoy reading about it. It sounds as if you may have interesting experience in worki…

I've taken apart way too many of these for the top case to be a concern. Get a spudger (rather than a flathead screwdriver, if you value the way it looks) and just be very careful …

Nice score! I got my original beige plus from a Lyons club (junk) store a while back. $5 with a keyboard and mouse. Even though it's power unit has since failed, it's still being t…

Very slick machine. I recently dismantled ours after 9 years of sterling service - flyback transformers xx( ... I'm hoping to win a 500mhz Indigo off ebay, then it's to the cho…

SCORE! iBooks are great laptops. What do you mean by the Power Button? Like the connector? I find them easy to disconnect!

Thanks, I was thinking the HDD. The machine acts virtually normal when booted off the 9.2.1 CD. I don't have access to an external HDD.. (well I do, but its over 128GB..) so I don'…

That analogue board is gaol-bait, LCGuy! D:

But dude, check out that analog board!

Does http://imgur.com/rIb6u.jpg qualify as Mac Porn? Click to expand... If that's all it takes to get your rocks off, you need to join the Princess Peach Liberation Army. …

The big advantage of a 40MHz bus, so I hear, is that it puts it into lockstep with the 10MHz Nubus. This has been alleged elsewhere to improve Nubus performance.

Fantastic score! I too was given a free Lombard 333. Note that a motherboard from the 400MHz model includes the hardware DVD decoder, which will work even with the 333MHz CPU.

The machine has the basic 64MB RAM, which would be the chip soldered. Nothing has been added. Would buying a RAM stick help? Click to expand... Adding more RAM at this point is…

That makes sense. The oxides of the solder could very well have a far higher melting point making them immune to the thermal output of a standard soldering iron. That is an annoyin…

I suspect that most of the solder is directly under the capacitor: the rest has been mostly corroded away. I do see some solder on the outside, but I can't tell if it liquefies whe…

Be very, very, very careful replacing the top case, especially when replacing the power switch. I destroyed an iBook that way ($700 down the drain). iFixit will give you all you ne…

It is often mentioned in articles that describe how to directly access the VRAM (indeed, such articles are the first hits for "swapmmumode quickdraw" in Google), because in that ca…

It won't melt? I didn't think HighK solder was ever used in Mac/PC construction, especially not that far back, except for military/special application systems.
