So let me get this straight. If I have "Dirty ROMs" and I have 20MB installed. Will it show as having 20MB in the About Finder menu? (but in fact only have 8MB usable until I use…

Some of you might recall my recent 512k conquest last week. Well, I left it case and all in the trunk of my car, waiting until the next day after my wife left for work to smuggle i…

Is that one of the original Apple batteries or one of the aftermarket ones? That is really good runtime, either way! I have found that my VST aftermarket ones can't use battery rec…

Was that the one I sent you? 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

LCGuy is correct on that. IIfx ROM-SIMMs are 32-bit clean. The only issue you'll have is a bit longer of time to startup the SE/30. Sometimes it can vary depending on how much R…

Are you my long lost brother? :lol:

As a follow-up to my own question which I asked on another group, the AppleFacts books were used by the Apple Sales representatives, which explains why basically no one a.) has an…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

I have a 700mhz slot load and it gets extremely hot. The problem with adding a fan is where do you draw power from? Are there any extra pigtails coming off the power supply? I woul…

The only thing that ever stands between me and a good conquest is a woman. They never seem to understand. I've been carrying four computers in the trunk of my car for over a year b…

Alright. Found an Adaptec 39160 at work and will give this a try.

Having tried one and found it worked fine in beige machines, I cleaned my seller out of his entire stock to upgrade the rest of my beige PCI Powermacs. I might even have one left o…

You can gently slide out the analog board of it's notches (remove ~ 2 screws on the outside) and not have to take the whole thing out; this will give you access to the elusive scre…

I recall certain hard disk formatting tools let you specify a wait state/delay in the system boot process to allow a disk to spin up; perhaps check out FWB toolkit first. JB

The c screen is so much better than the cs. The PB 1400 remains my favourite PowerBook . . . Click to expand... Mine too. I REALLY HATE to admit it, but 'Beater kicks PowerD…

I've got half a dozen G3 iMacs still in regular use and they all get quite warm to the touch -- never had any problems other than 1 dead HDD, so my guess is that the convection coo…

I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me. Click to expand... Did it say "boo!" Click to exp…

yes some did have fans buried deep in them, but aside from the first couple generations, I couldn't tell you which ones and they still ran quite warm, at the time I figured where …

At least temporarily. Acard has flash update programs for Mac OS 9 (maybe 8.6, too), but not for OS X. However, the program to update the SATA-SCSI devices is apparently Windows on…

Ok I just had a look at the SE/30 manual: http://www.macheaven.net/MH_Manuals/macintosh_se30.pdf If you look at page 66 you can see that to get to the last screw on the right you …

Yeh !! I add patched Apple SC HD Setup 7.5.3 with TransMac ! My disk initialized ;D

I opened up a bondi blue iMac about a year ago and found that there was a fan hidden deep inside of it, which surprised me.

Hmm. That means I'm going to need a SCSI card for my Windows box? Is that how the firmware update is done?

hi all-as you may have become aware, i recently got a new(ish) iMac g3. however, it gets HOT! i did some research and found out it's cooled via convection, which seems unhealthy. i…
