Sounds like your iMac G5 has the same problem mine has. Don't bother taking it to the apple store, they will just say your logic board is bad, and try to get you to shell out ~$500…

Welcome aboard, comrade! I'm sure you'll fit in fine, we've already got a few Steve-o-philes here in the 68kMLA! : I'm a "woz" kinda guy myself, but we've got room for all sor…

Hello, and welcome to the forums!! I am sure you will find a wealth of information about classic and old macs, since that's what we do here. I hope you enjoy your stay, and pleas…

i found out that the imac probably has a dead psu. does anyone know if i can use a psu from an earlier g5?

That's an utterly amazing haul for so little - you'll look back on this day fondly for many years to come! I reckon there is a law now that says you'll sadly find nothing else for…

How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? Click to expand... I just pried at the seam with a knife and it cracked open, luckily along the seams. YMMV as they say. T…

get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops Click to expand... Careful there, special high voltage probes may be called for in some areas.

Beck-Tech's modified ROM was exactly the same as the original, except that in about a dozen places, Andy had hard-coded the screen address for 512KB of RAM, and those needed to be …

H3NRY, I noticed elsewhere that you've been inside the Cube speaker's amp module and (IIRC) made some mods. How do you open the little tacker non-destructively? And did you ever …

If the internal hard drive is larger than 4GB (unlikely unless it's been upgraded), don't attempt to install or format the drive over SCSI Disk Mode. There's a firmware bug that l…

Carlo (Mr.T), after reading your post again I see that you are expressing disappointment over not having a stock 128k. What I can say is that 128k logic boards are often sold on E…

As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible. Click to expand... For example I have a "System 7.5 network install CD", you need a lower version and b…

I do have external SCSI CD drives, but not the HDI-30 adapter to attach it. As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible.

If you have another old mac with a CD drive and have the necessary networking hardware (and I assume you do), stick the CD in another machine, turn on filesharing, and mount the CD…

No fair! I've always wanted a cube.

JDW, the pictures referred to show the decoder. Before there were little decoder boards made, people piggybacked an additional 7AS153 atop the one at F3 as in this photo: http://h…

(Are you speaking of the 7 holes shown in my photos between RP1 and C34? Click to expand... That is exactly right. There are many pictures on the forum of these mini-mux boards …

The chip inside the Cube's amplifier module is a TriPath TA1101B 20W digital amplifier, so indeed a TriPath amp is a terrific match for these speakers. They are 8 Ohm impedance. T…

Here are my 128k logic board photos, which show top and bottom and many angles. Click on the individual photos, then click on the little "All Sizes" button above the photo to see …

Do you have a SCSI CDROM drive to boot the 1400 from? Install from another Mac with SCSI target mode?

Some Macs have hardware memory controller limits - only so many address lines. Many are limited by the boot ROM to a certain ceiling. I think the Classic II is one of these. There …
