. . . since you've got the 300 Mhz board in the 5400, there's nothing that the 6500 really has to offer that the 5400 doesn't, apart from a tower enclosure, one extra PCI slot, …

Monolingual.app will remove Intel or PPC code as well as unwanted languages. From the terminal, ditto will also remove an architecture. For example to thin iTunes: • cd /Applicat…

I think 9.5.1 added the LBA48 support. It seems to be the minimum one if you want to boot a MDD anyway. Not sure what other fixes the later ROMs had (but I guess the newer the bet…

Just don't try the Griffin Technology's iMic. I already tried and it doesn't work under OS9.x or earlier. There aren't many USB audio interfaces that work with Classic Mac OS ver…

After a long an arduous few hours of almost totally dismantling the 500 just to replace the hard disk and putting it back together it worked. Briefly. The problem now is the scree…

the best way is to look at the thing and get anything written on it

Some of the posts above indicate sources of Mac OS ROM 10.2.1 that I was unaware of, and wouldn't have been accessible when I was trying to get a useful installation of OS 9.2.2 go…

I believe it is a Mitsubishi Diamondtron CRT, but I don't know if you can just yank one out of a Mitsubishi model or not. And again - there's a good chance that the Mitsubishi has …

I would try to pick it up. Mac TV's themselves aren't exactly common either. A black ADB Mouse could be fabricated in the mean time. Just paint a good condition, but yellowed mous…

Does anyone have measurements on these things, electronics shops sell a wide and crazy selection of gears, I would think theres something out there that can be used

well, you can still plug anything you want into it, ie converter box or cable box... or if your like me, we just have basic cable which requires no extra boxes To me 50 seems stee…

I saw a complete (no docs/disks) Mac TV system sell on eBay for around $30 before shipping a couple years ago. That buyer probably thought it was worth $80 to him. On another mor…

It's been a long time since any new movies were made on a compact Mac. I'll be interested in what you come up with. Click to expand... Me too... the stakes have been raised a l…

Well I think get it. And lower the price on him.

Yup. My iBook came with 10.2.1 install disks only. OS9 was in a "classic" image on the first restore CD. That had 9.7.1 in it. Also, Netboot for OS9 has (iirc) 9.6.1. 9.8.1 is on a…

The flyback transformer (FBT), also called a 'line output transformer' (LOPT), is a special transformer which is used to generate high voltage (HV) signals at a relatively high fre…

That way the secondary PSU powers on at the same time as the SE/30 does -- all with the flip of the same switch you are accustomed to, on the back of the SE/30. Click to expand.…

Only if you realy want one. The ones worth money are the units 100% complete and original with all docs and software. I have a LC 550 (same unit just not black) and to be honest it…

I looked at a bunch of bad backlit portable mobos for Houlton, and all of them had problems with the 5V power regulator, as does my own 5126. Apparently the integrated voltage refe…

It's been a long time since any new movies were made on a compact Mac. I'll be interested in what you come up with. This ought to run on anything up to an Se30, though there will b…

The 83 MHz bus is not entirely stable. Assuming a 400 MHz G3 chip is installed then the G3 chip is not overclocked, just the bus. Look up the jumper settings and downclock the bu…

heh my school was a 30 min drive at 55mph Click to expand... I had to wake up, then I was at school. ;D home school.

Sorry about the delay, I got distracted when I went to boot it up. I do not know what happened(and it happened while it was not in use for the past couple years) but now the fan ru…

Yep, one of my adaptors has the instructions on how to use the DIPS on the back of the adaptor. I'll check if its a mitsu

Definitely keep the 5400 - its a black 5400, and they're very hard to come by these days, especially in good condition, with the matching black keyboard and mouse. You can pick up …
