Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

Nope. No red button. Only two buttons near the PRAM battery.

How do you reset the MoBo? Click to expand... If memory serves me right, there is a red button that is labeled "PRAM RESET" on the motherboard. While the G3 is unplugged, hold …

Yes but the one near the processor Lights up and then turns off. This makes me think its the processor. Well whatever if it is. At the lab we have a few 350MHZ ZIFs How do you res…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…

(or see if anyone on here has a rom flasher and is willing to make some for you)

er... get a ROM flasher and some ROM chips, and make ROMs?

I have a 7300 180mhz with 552MB (4x 128MB, 1x16MB, 3x 8MB) RAM and a 2GB SCSI and 7200 120mhz with 2GB and probably 32MB RAM. Both are basically useless to me so hopefully they're …

Page 2 of this PDF on Mouser lists the 3.9uF cap I mention, with one rated at 250V. I simply cannot pull it up on the Mouser site by part number. But since it is in a catalog lis…

Not a Mac per se, but were it not for my wife I would probably still have my Motorola StarMax 4000 MT PCI Mac clone. Fantastic machine IMO. I was very pleased with it for the tim…

To my mind, the PCI Macs are at the point that Nubus Macs were at about a decade ago. They're cheap or free to pick up, and as the standard is now deprecated, you can pick up inte…

Why go with 4.0uF when you can get the exact 3.9uF value you need easily from Digikey for only $3 plus shipping? This is mentioned on my analog board parts list spreadsheet here: …
