The 68060 didn't scale well, either. The fastest versions lack the MMU, FPU, or both. Too many transistors for a wafer that size back then. The fastest 060's required separate chip…
I'm trying to get a HyperDrive 20 to work. The drive sits in a Mac Plus and seems to physically dead, as the logic board on the drive is working, but the drive doesn't spin up. I …
Dennis, to answer a couple of your questions, yes the drive is auto-inject, but it's not necessarily known working. It was working when it was pulled quite a while ago, but I did n…
If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it.

I assume the X appears red because of your unusual monitor setup. In actuality…

If AfterMac's spare drive hooked up I now get a disk with a red X through it. The drive never actually tries to read the disk though (no noise) and I know the disk is good anyway.…
I think most of them have the coating, even as far back as the 128k. My 128k has it, I just assumed they all did. Here's a photo of the guts of a 128k, with the coating:

If the HD is struggling to spin, it usually requires a firm spanking/slap to get it up ... if you know what I mean

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…
I wish you good luck with recovering the PB100. The only one I have owned had the lit up but blank screen issue. Eventually i gave it away and if I was smart I would have kept th…

I was going to ask if that coating was common to all the machines; I have memories of opening a 512k with my dad and seeing a more plastic-like interior.
Ah, I didn't realize …

Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'before' (flat) and an 'after' (on the drainboard) of the bezel. I did remove the Apple badge; it was fun to learn it's just a metal s…

Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM?

Yep, as far as I can tell, it is not in there.

Thanks, JDW. I think a combination of the gel method mixed with some more patience & planning would have done the trick.

I had a fear of that happening myself; namely, that the metallic spray inside the case might be adversely affected by the H202 during deyellowing. But in my case, the reason I ult…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

Very interesting. It's not animated on the LC III/Performa 450 either as far as I can tell. But the LC III ROM also contains normal 32x32 images of the complete happy mac and sad…
