cube hard drive issues — #9
The spin up/spin down issues you are experiencing suggest a flaky DC board; check the CubeOwner forums for more information on this. While you're at it, check the PRAM battery and…

Why the unusual frequency? — #18
In 1985 Steve Beck wanted to be able to project a Mac's video with a standard TV projector. I built up a bunch of dual ported VRAM (parallel I/O and built-in shift register) with a…
cube hard drive issues — #8
Some newer hard drives are low power 5900 RPM drives. I've started buying only LP because the power consumption is about 1/3 of a typical 7200 RPM drive they're replacing. For inst…

Well here are the Highlights of this little Clammy.
Screen is nice and bright

Model 100's are awesome machines for what they're capable of. I have several here. A piece of lore behind the Model 100, btw, is that the Word Processing component of it is the l…

Hello. I will leap in and express an interest in the B&W G3 also. I currently only have a G3 iMac to run OSX on and would like to get a 'regular desktop' machine. I love…

Site works poorly with Classilla — #5
It's somewhat ironic, considering the target audience of this site.

Need advice on Wallstreet problems — #9
Battery reset is indeed useful for when battery capacity/use gets a bit out of sync.
After months of regular use, a pair of WS batteries in my 300Mhz one will get me around 3 hour…
Site works poorly with Classilla — #4
This site requires turning off stylesheets when viewed with Classilla 9.0 (View->Use Style->None), each time the link is opened in a fresh window/tab. It's somewhat i…
Need advice on Wallstreet problems — #8
The Wallstreet would make an ideal bridge between an Ethernet/TCP/IP/WiFi LAN and a Localtalk/Phonenet/Appletalk network of older Macs, if, as I vaguely recall, it has old-school M…
Macintosh SE with Radius Accelerator 16 — #10
Alright, it's here! It had a install of 7.0 and 4 MB of RAM. It's indeed yellowed, but it works great! It even has the original Radius Accelerator 16 sticker on it.
The Radius soft…

Propeller God? :lol: No. I've done one project with the Prop, a temperature controller for a reptile enclosure. It used a 4x20 character LCD and I had to write the driver for tha…

Booting from a DVD may be different because there is no writable swap file on the startup disk. So install discs may not use virtual memory at all, being that there isn't necessar…
Why the unusual frequency? — #16
Just again out of curiosity, what other projects have you done with a propeller? It doesn't look like it's actually *that* trivial to add high-speed external RAM to one. (Unless I'…
startup chime twice on cold boot — #16
If you have a Fry's Electronics, grab the battery there. They have them for round $5 or $6. Otherwise places like Radioshack charge an unbelievable $21 for a battery.

Epilogue:
So, I went on the LEM swap list and grabbed a stripped 233mhz Wallstreet for $25 shipped. This netted me a replacement palmrest with no trackpad cracks and working butto…
eMac HD replacement - yikes! — #10
They're good machines the eMacs but they are very loud and huge. The main part is that retarded cable that goes to the power button.
PB 100 resurrection — #2
I had a PB100 that did the exact same thing - weird flickering screen/static noises and needed a firm slap on the 2.5" SCSI drive before it span up after years of not being turned …

I'm probably going to have to grab the whole frame. The scan doubling sounds interesting, but it will be displayed on an LCD monitor. What I think I'm going to do is make the bitma…
