did you even have to write it, I just thought your awesomeness made it plop out on the desktop one day! Click to expand... No, that was lunch. Sorry about the mess.

You could mount it in a closet on on the underside of your desk as a server. I always thought a headless Powerbook would make a good ultra-thin "XServe."

I'm not remotely convinced that is made from an Apple II. That's a fairly common project case shape, and judging by the size of the buttons and the IEC power lead in the photo, it…

Goodness!!!!! Does that key hack work on the Quadra 950????? Mine takes forever and a day to start up since it's got the full 256 megs of ram installed. I wish I bought more ram…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

That is great! It's nice to see that other computer axiom for pricing for special needs equipment still is in place. Multiply the real price of the unit by 10x and sell it for th…

I am looking for a PRAM battery for my 3400c, where did you find those $12 batteries? I really could use a link to it. Mind you, I am in the USA, so it would have to be either c…

To address JDW and Quadraman's concerns, yes I do replace ALL of the caps or parts documented and suggested for being replaced; I leave no stone unturned. And I return to you all …

Now if that was an ANS (Apple Network Server 700) I might be convinced to run from the police with one of those... Wait, that might kill me in the process. Still worth it.

Or are you just referring to the "dot" part that to the inexperienced means very little.... Click to expand... bingo

Awesome. I feel like I'm connecting with long lost brothers or something. I get asked at least 3 or 4 times a month similar stuff about why on earth do I collect or tweak, or bu…

is this the drive that is slot-loading/cartridge loading? If it's that one (the one commonly sold with the G3's) it's probably not gonna work with the newer DVD-RAM discs. Is is …

Just got an original Apple-labeled DVD-RAM drive, thanks eBay! $30 shipped. What astounds me is how insanely heavy this bugger is. Easily triple the weight of the Blu-ray drive I…

Did I read that correctly? A + on a new capacitor doesn't mean positive lead anymore? Or are you just referring to the "dot" part that to the inexperienced means very little....

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by. Click to expa…

They pretty much are all bad. This has been true in my own experience and one can also come to that conclusion logically when reflecting upon how many years ago the boards were ma…

Cool! I keep a few 14" and 13" LCD Wallstreet panels around incase one of mine bites the dust. If the 12" DS screen dies I don't think I will worry about it. Replacing just the ba…

(correct polarization) has anyone ever warned a noobie to this operation about the different markings? anyway the caps that need to be replaced are polarized, meaning they have a…

Just older the caps from trag, de solder them out, solder the new ones in correctly (correct polarization) and BAM. Done.

Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks! Click to expand... If you send the logic board via United States P…
