Hey Bunsen, I think you're on the money with it being the stock Apple 166Mhz 603e CPU (180Mhz part downclocked) from a 1400/166 - as evidenced by the link below (bottom of page): …

Looking at the 950 on my desk Bunsen - I think anyone would be crazy to own two Now to decide what to cull ... Yep, in Melbourne, pickup - nice seller.

I have seen a couple of those cards pass through this forums forsale section over the years. I have one in use and a spare so I never bothered to snag another.

A superlative score at that price! I did pass my eye over that auction, but decided one 950 (sans Pisces) is enough for now. Was it in Melbourne?

I think the doctor truly is still "out" on this subject. Click to expand... According to your Flickr page, your drive has a MMI label with model MM 112 on it. Seems to me proof…

If you are going to run anything other then A/UX you might as well sell the DMA board to those who need it, they are hard to find. A/UX makes a great Apple server and backup stati…

I just remembered that a while ago, the SE would not turn on at all every once in a while.

Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDII…

It was the pt-puhtt noise I was asking about. Is that the static noise? In the background the fans were spinning down, which I knew. The pt-puhtt noise happens when the power is s…

Well aparently it is a dual-floppy SE box, though it is not the box that goes with my SE I also found out that it has a good PRAM battery in it :O P.S. Is there a version…

I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut it down. Is that normal? Click to expand... Is that in addition to the standard beep, or instead of? It sou…

I would love to hear that noise, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to download that AIFF file!

It sounds like you're not even getting a bong. Which is what leads me to CPU card seating problems. Click to expand... Yes, I had been getting the chime, but now I'm not. I'l…

The cache modules show IDT as the maker. Click to expand... Thanks Unknown_K, this is the same as mine. From what I've read online, the cache works under OS 7.01 and 7.1 but t…

Speed is of coarse the driving factor for most using the Mac Pro. I think the loss of PPC support will eventually get a lot of people to move on once Apple stops releasing securit…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine. Click to e…

I got a Dual 1.8Ghz G5 w/ 1GB (4x256MB) RAM and a 160GB HDD off of Craigslist for $240 (was 280) Runs great. Did a few upgrades. Swapped the 160 for a 1TB Green HDD (Western Digi…

I don't think it was heat. It is in a cool environment, the fan in it works fine, and the case never gets hot. I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut…

I don't think you mentioned the CPU card. Given the symptoms, my guess would be a faulty/poorly installed CPU card. Try removing and reseating it. If that fails, unplug the powe…

If you do not have anything connected to the built-in video (you don't, do you, even a Mac-to-VGA adapter counts here) then the Mac should detect this and default the start-up scre…

Repackaging the SIMM ROM types in DIPs is no doubt achievable but you need a lot of motivation to try it. Trag knows about repackaging soldered ROMs as SIMMs from his work on the I…

software patching cannot handle everything. If it could, the 512K could boot directly from an HD20. Click to expand... No it couldn't... it would have to boot from a floppy to …

The Outbound Laptop Model 125 could use either the Plus ROM or the SE ROM. I think that all of mine use the Plus ROM. It would be interesting to see one which uses the SE ROM t…

Could be that teh power supply is getting marginal. If it drops too far below 5V you'll see behaviour like that. The fix could be as simple as turning the voltage adjustment scr…

If you can figure out the serial connection to OS X part the you could just sign up for a RetroNET account (type "telnet retro-net.org" at the prompt), that will give you access to…
