Awesome find! Yea I got two Pismos (since sold one) that were both DOA but I unplugged the PRAM battery and they work! The 500 mHz's are the best and harder to find, congrats!

You were right! I unplugged the pram battery and it booted right up!! It has 256mb of ram and is 500mhz!! The harddrive I put in is 20gb with O.S.9.2. I will get a new p…

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen any PCI based Mac that could go down to 16 colors or B&W. The lowest you can go is 256 greys.

12v DC does not melt a fan.. you sure you did not bump the AC by accident? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the powe…

That mirror is a gold mine! :O

Unfortunately the only reason I opened the case was to install a fan... and in the process of hooking up that fan I blew the fan and the fuses in quite a spectacular way. Click …

Remove the PRAM battery. It may be too dead and will cause it to not boot. Just remove the keyboard and the CD/DVD drive and you will see it on the right hand side.

The limit of ADC is the single-link DVI resolution of 1920x1200. Power isn't the limit, Apple had a 17" CRT that ran off ADC. (By the way, the power isn't being supplied over the…

ADC was doomed from the start because it powered the monitor. That means laptop users have to buy bulky extrenally-powered converter boxes and it also means yet-more auxiliary powe…

I don't think "HD 1080" and "G4" can be said in the same sentence; you basically need an Intel Mac to do this sort of stuff. Still, it makes for a wonderful server/general use mac…

Sooooooo ... which version of QT added 68000 support? Or was this yet another unfulfilled promise of Apple's, when they realized there was no point? Click to expand... It was i…

Here's an interesting blurb from an Apple Developer's Tech Note: QUICKTIME 1.0: “YOUOUGHTA BEIN PICTURES” d e v e l o p Summer 1991 QuickTime 1.0 works on all color-capable …

IIRC, there was something funky about the video signal and PRAM batteries on the pizzaboxen. Search posts by Danamania and whatever other teems might be necessary to find the answe…

I used to use an AlphaSmart 3000 (translucent case, released around the same time as the iMac) in elementary and middle school, because of my poor ability to write. They are pretty…

Well the adapter worked before... Click to expand... Try multiple VGA monitors.

That anode cap is indeed a pain to remove. I usually use a small pair of pliers (from an eyeglass repair kit) to get the clip on one side pressed in and then use the pliers to remo…

It'd probably be worth more if it still has the original letter from Woz.

They can handle HD right? If so then that could be a set top box. Put 3 500GB drives and you're set. :beige:

A decent solution may be to use the SlideShow program from Kid Pix. You'll need either Kid Pix 2 or Kid Pix Companion. I'm not sure if the program itself can run on a 1MB machine s…

Anyone heard of LUnix? Unix on a C64 - page seems a bit old though. And uCLinux ideas might be helpful about getting around lack of MMU. EDIT: Doh...didn't remember that LUnix h…

I think the OP left the forum.

Did you know that the Mac II chord is also the first chord in "Norwegian Wood"? Now, if only it played the rest of the song!

Yes, some.
