I'm quite glad I listened to my inner voice that said not to use the magic eraser on the Mac. I never realized they were such a powerful tool. The spongelike appearance is deceptiv…

Mine seemed awful hot too, so I added a fan at the top of the case blowing air out the handle holes. The fan doesn't fit flush, so the sides of the fan are sealed to the case with …

A bit of a switch, using the MIDI card as a serial interface. It was common to use a Super Serial card or a //c serial port as a MIDI interface by doing timing in software. I remem…

PCI. It's the last desktop machine released before the G3s.

I don't believe you can daisy chain floppy drives on the Mac. Like the eject button, the daisy chain port was included for the Apple II line. At one point Apple wanted a universal …

I really want one of these. The best place to look is probably ebay Germany and hope the seller understands English and is willing to ship it to you. Most of the less well known cl…

Is this machine Nubus or PCI?

outside the scope of this topic, but rubbing alcohol and a little elbow grease will get rid of sharpie pretty quick dont use magic eraser, I erased some wallpaper with it

I've used the following: RECOMMENDED: Endust for Electronics: Good at removing both dust and sticker gunk, also surprisingly good on sharpie marks (won't remove them entirely, but…

Yeah... I guess I didn't quite think about it like that. I was just surprised to see a Mac motherboard in such a device. The agreement between Apple and Acuson - according to the a…

I have long advised against formatting 1.4MB disks as 800K. I read they were unreliable in just about every book on Macs and wanted to see for myself. Way back in 1995, I covered …

Yeah, the contents of the HD should be pretty interesting. I don't know why I've never taken the time to tear into the machine. It has a few cards in it... I'll have to take a clos…

Congrats! New 800k floppies are hard to come by these days. Click to expand... Yeah, and trying to format HD floppies as lower density floppies is almost always unreliable at b…

Have you tried a different keyboard? Have you tried plugging the mouse and keyboard into separate ADB ports, instead of plugging the mouse into the keyboard? Have you tried alter…

Companies have been taking computer motherboards and adapting them to specific uses for a long time. I saw a Tandy Color Computer in a blue case with an Agway label on it once. App…

The really interesting bits are going to be the video hardware - and whatever software is still extant on the internal HD. mine uses a IIvi mobo / The board very clearly has…

Clarification would be nice... Could someone please tell me if there are ANY documented accelerators which work in L2 cache slots which are supposed to be "enabled" after the machi…

Clarification would be nice... and I've even had someone from Sonnet tech support refuse to replace an accelerator under warranty because he said this is the way it worked even tho…

If you really want to get fancy with your 1 GHz G4, get 10.5 on that system. It's been done by others, but it's not trivial. Click to expand... Yeah, too much work and I want t…

aye, in my pc the power supply has a slow moving 130mm fan, it moves about the same amount of air as 2 60mm fans in the previous power supply, but you cant even here it over the ha…
