I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…

I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me. Click to expand... Did it say "boo!" Click to exp…

yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where …

At least temporarily. Acard has flash update programs for Mac OS 9 (maybe 8.6, too), but not for OS X. However, the program to update the SATA-SCSI devices is apparently Windows on…

Is that one of the original Apple batteries or one of the aftermarket ones? That is really good runtime, either way! I have found that my VST aftermarket ones can't use battery rec…

The c screen is so much better than the cs. The PB 1400 remains my favourite PowerBook, because it was my first laptop and it serves me to this day. For many years it was the only…

Does a IIfx rom count as a clean rom? If so, does putting it into an SE/30 cause any compatibility issues? Tempest

Oh, I remember, I drew a nice design with four PLCC parts on the same side of the board and realized that they'd be too close together for convenient hand soldering. Two need to …

Yes, it shows 20MB, but how much of that is free? If you have "dirty" ROMs, and MODE32 is not installed, the extra RAM will appear to have been used by the system.
