WOW! :O 8-o Wish I had one

What are the specs on your iBook? I have one like it.

It's probably kind of a mixed blessing that it didn't come with a hard drive. My 3400's stock 2gb quantum HD ran REALLY hot, and really loudly compared to the drive I replaced it w…

I'm fairly certain that the PRAM has been removed. It was included in a small bag and it looks like it leaked at some point. I am hoping not inside the unit. Will find out soon …

Sounds like a plan to me! Make sure the power connector hasn't worked a little loose on the MoBo while you're in there. Test the PRAM Battery, maybe?

I'm not particularly familiar with multiple processors in pre-OS X, but here's my question. If you are multitasking, and have two separate, intensive programs running, wouldn't Ma…

The Sonnet 1 GHz G4 CPU cards come with 2 meg of L3 which is supposed to be able to run at 250 MHz. Since turning off the cache seems to fix your problem, you could also try to run…

I may investigate this further in due course, as I know that VM will speed up a ppc under many circumstances. Only not yet.... The particular 8600 in question here had previously …

well the playstation controllers are not just shift register driven, like most older pads (atari excluded) they use a fairly pita serial protocall course in this day and age it wo…

Using the analog playstation thumbstick with an Apple II would be really nice. Has anyone done that?

Congrats! Unfortunately, the sound from the LC III means that you have to replace its caps soon. Click to expand... Oh no! I had just guessed it was the hard drive, I hadn't ta…

Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think)I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to board.…

The 8600 has nearly 300MB or RAM installed, so I will leave it without VM and hope for the best for now, methinks. Click to expand... Some PPC apps will run more efficiently wi…

The mod will utilize the original color classic speaker once I find an amp of suitable size. Click to expand... Interesting, so you'll be using a low-powered external amp to dr…

This is a Sonnet card. No switches. However, CPU Director did the trick. Thank you. It took me a while to hunt down an older copy since the latest release refused to run. What…

Unusually the Quadra 630s may or may not have a full '040 - seemed to vary from country to country, I believe. Either way, you've at least two or three full '040s to work with …

Yup, that was my thought---take the full '040 from one of the 630s and put it into a 605. I'm in the process of acquiring a 605... I feel bad ripping apart a working machine, but h…

Nice scores! Hopefully the Quadra 650s have some decent Nubus cards in them too. The Q650 has a full '040 you could shoehorn into your Quadra 605 (and then overclock this to 33Mh…

Nice haul! I too love the Q605 form factor - but the LC475 is close, and all of the other Quadras you got can be a donor of a full '040...
