Well, spanking it, dropping it and tapping it gently with a sledgehammer didn't help. Salvation came in the form of a PB160 with a bad screen that generously donated its hard…

I also noticed there is a dealer selling new G3 500 upgrades for the 7500 et al Macs for $199.95. That's kinda stupid since Sonnet still has stock of those for $50. 8-o Click t…

Not bad! I could use one of those in my beige G3, but I'm too cheap. Click to expand... This is the one for the earlier Macs, not the G3 ZIF socket. There was a 1ghz upgrade fo…

Answer is NOPE. It looked like it should fit, but it wouldn't sit flush with the case. Oh well.

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them. Click to expand... I have …

I don't know if an emulator might work. Hal said he thought it wouldn't wouldn't. A few years back I did try two of the more popular emulators with no success. And I have been told…

I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

I would be worried about the machines bouncing around in the trunk waiting for you to sneak them in the house. Click to expand... They tend not to bounce when they're packed so…

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his ca…

Glad it worked out for you.

Ok, I received the AUI to RJ-45 adapter yesterday. Tonight I put my Dayna ethernet card in my SE/30, spent some time through the web to find a working image of the Dayna drivers fl…

I kno ive been soo busy i havent been able to be on in forever!

I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh. Click to expand... IIRC they are, but you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them (or just …

I have the wireless cards...you can text surf (using WannaBe) and pull up the low-demand BBC website, that's about all I can do without pulling my hair out. But it was fun to get w…

I saw in an older thread that you worked with Gamba on the IIfx also. Click to expand... All I recall is discussing the IIfx ROM with him. It's possible I've forgotten, but as…

Does that one SE have a SuperDrive floppy or is it 800K? If it's SuperDrive, then you will save yourself half the battle; 800K floppies can be done, but you'll run into many brick…

I'm not sure which "look" I prefer. I mostly used Apple with monochrome monitors, so I recall the spacing. However, when using Apple2Forever, the large gaps detract some from the…

The only way to know is if you try and attach it to the side of your SE/30. If you run into even the slightest resistance, it won't fit. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Also in those machines, you can't run any of the good versions of OS X because of the CPU soldered to the motherboard. OS X can't see any CPU installed beyond the one onboard on th…

Sonnet Crescendo 1ghz G4 for beige PCI Powermacs. I've been seeing a few of these being sold by Mac dealers on ebay for $225-$250 so grabbed this one because it was only $100. You …

The "visible scan lines" on most emulators are overblown, and in general I keep effects like that turned *off*. First off old monitors, especially color monitors, tended to have b…
