Hey, Thanks for the quick replies. I shall try and get a Screwdriver at the weekend (college in the week - too busy). And open her up. I suppose its all this discharge things i …

I would think industrial machines had RS-422 so you can hook up quite a few devices to one line (each having its own ID). Anyway can't you just send data over the serial port on a…

i think i might have made some progress. i reseated the daughter card, and now when i strike a key on the keyboard the power indicator light flashes green for under a second. is th…

I might as well just buy the 240MB drive I found at an online store with a 90 day warranty for $49 + $15 shipping. Click to expand... Don't. Even a parts system with a drive is…

I found and looked at that Box of Powerbook stuff post... a lot of items, but only the hard drives would be used and the rest would get thrown out most likely, the shipping if calc…

Hi everyone: I'm a new member here, and I came across this forum while searching for information about my Macintosh SE/30's debilitating SimasiMac condition. I've been reading the…

Well I wound up using the top half of that checkboarding system with the bottom half of the other one. The second system's LCD was very blueish and non functional. I tried using th…

That sucks. and with the PB with the checkerboard screen, try taking out the installed RAM card (if there is one). the SCSI hard drives are also not too difficult to find if y…

I have tried tapping the 80MB drive but no change occurred. Considering it a lost drive I also tried more forceful hits and still no effect.

Thanks for the advice. My concern about the 575 is that it has the monitor attached...I'd like to get by without it! Thus my question about putting the 575 mobo in a different case…

And to add something else, with regards to the crackling screen...my Macintosh Plus works great, except that it crackled once as well. Turns out it's relatively normal and shouldn…

It would be a good idea to give the 80 MB HD a gentle, but hefty slap on the top.

I'm not aware of any way to make an LC575 "headless", and getting an external monitor supported on such a machine is also a bit fraught. You could always consider putting the LC57…

(now i don't know much about what goes on inside and a daren't/don't have the tools to open it up) but could it bee that the little glass vaccum tube on the CRT has broken during t…

That would be the board that shipped with the WOZ edition IIgs, so somebody with a dead Woz might want it. All in all it is the least wanted revision (3 being the best, 1 being the…

before you try using alcohol, try distilled water and regular dish soap. and let it dry for a week

I'd go with the 575...it's convenient and compact, and offers everything that the 605 and the 475, with the addition of the comm-slot.

a 575 offers a very nice monitor, and is identical to the Quadra 605 in all respects except that you can add ethernet without taking the LC PDS slot. The 575 motherboard uses a co…

Ermm... Guy's you have a whole forum for the G5... Yet you choose to hi-jack this thread. So in light of 64bit applications, how does your discussion contribute to my problem solvi…
