Haven't played with it yet. No space on the bench to set it up. Leopard. Now there's a thought. I have a pre-loved 10.5 DVD, but I don't think the machine has the RAM. It'd be …

I can tell you that it very seldom works on a Wallstreet.... Resetting the battery can be done in Open Firmware, I gather, on a Pismo. Mind you, it hasn't worked for my Pismo's de…

Congrats on the iBook! I've always wanted to get one of those myself.

Nice, I have always wanted one of the brighter colors. I got my 2 from my school, Blueberry and Graphite. Clamshell's are the coolest design ever. Click to expand... If I wasn'…

15.6+- khz is the time it takes to produce a single line on a NTSC tv, so the apple screen is probably really running at or near ntsc tv specs Also it was very common in the 80's …

Everything derives from the same clock. The frequency from the oscillator is divided in half for the processor and further for other IC's. The full clock speed is fed to the video …

If I were to swap out the oscillator, would it potentially damage the Mac? I doubt the .1664 MHz jump would hurt anything, but I want to make sure first. Click to expand... Ser…

The Mac II onwards were designed to use NuBus bus mastering for high speed data transfers. Both devices had to be on the NuBus, of course, and support bus mastering, at least as a …

Awesome! i loved those things. I used to have one. Try to find the floppy drive (and accompanying disk) that gives you 100KB floppy storage on a modern floppy. The floppy also ru…

Well, the thing went BANG, and my house RCD tripped (at least it tested that...), a nice smell of burning electrics coming from the power supply followed... Click to expand... …

Depends what condition it's in when it arrives. This will be my third CC. I would like to keep one stock, or stock-ish (ie a LC550/CCII motherboard swap, at most), and reserve th…

As far as I know, the first Mac to actually have DMA (which the very first IBM PC had) was the IIfx and it was only used under A/UX. Click to expand... The Mac II onwards were …

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip. Click to expand... yea if your using lead paste, ive never see…

Nice. Are you planning to resurrect it or use it for some mod?

Did you end up getting it to boot? How's the performance with the G4 upgrade? I know there have been reports of people successfully installing 10.5 on the beiges with G4 upgrades!…

Report back on how your XPostFacto install of 10.2 goes! I've been really interested in getting a Kanga to turn into an OS X machine, but haven't known anything about how easy it w…

Hey, that's awesome of you to cut your friend a deal with the eMac! Have them max out the RAM and install Leopard and they've got a great machine on their hands there... same goes …

Very nice. A free Mac is the best kind.
