Dual versus Single CPU in Mac Os 9 Real test — #8

168 MB in an 8100/80, what to do? — #1

All right, so I thought that the 2 GB HD in the Power Mac 8100/80 was toast, but it turned out that the System Folder had gotten unblessed for some reason. I booted up with a CD an…

Static pips — #3

Might just be the CRT Click to expand... Nope. Most likely a bad cap that needs replaced in the sound circuitry. They notoriously fail. An SE of this age most likely needs a f…

The Mother of All Conquests — #30

It doesn't have a manufacturer, or model name on it? Another idea...does it have an FCC ID or Patent number? You might be able to do a search on one of those and find something. An…

Mac Addons at Goodwill — #4

jruschme's right - you'll need a first gen Power Mac to use the card. It says "DOS on Power Mac", rather than simply "DOS on Mac", which leads me to believe that the card is actual…

I believe it was possible to daisy chain a Hard Disk 20 with a floppy drive. On just the right Mac, you could maybe hook up 4 floppy "devices". Unless you can chain multiple hard…
