I was under the impression that the IIfx had NO electrolytics on the logic board. I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember. I know for sure that the Quadra 700 doesn'…

Known to whom? He's got the earliest Mac listed in that database, that's all we know.

Well I tried this on my old VERY dead Mac SE last night. Obviously I couldn't power it up to see my handy work, but I was able to get a feel for how the yoke moves and how hard I …

Actually, if I recall those Macs were taken directly off the production assembly line and not given to the team until the Mac shipped, which was not until late January. Until confi…

Thanks, Mars. (What a great club.) Any advice re how much gets borked? Motherboard and processor card only, or more than that?

Welcome to the club...

My point is that mine is the oldest known production Macintosh. And I'll proudly trumpet that until someone produces an older one. Click to expand... My point was that we kn…

From what you describe, you're pretty much stuck with a small ThinNet segment to the existing hub. This means two T connectors, two terminators and a segment of cable. I'm a bit s…

Well, I seem to have had a triple-biorhythm low kind of day on Saturday - either that or I was just stupid! Managed to lose my glasses AND fry one of my Pismos, all within two hour…

(Then again, according to your database, I have the oldest known production Macintosh, period...) Click to expand... I know that you're saying "according to the database", but …

Leaking capacitors do not usually explode; they usually leak a barely visible (as in, transparent) conductive liquid which spreads widely, being oily. The solution to this is (a) …

What do you think, Bunsen? Does this post warrant being changed to a sticky or should I send you a revised post with all the info needed? Let me know via PM, please. Thank you. …

Hmmm. Using an SE/30 with NetBSD installed to take place of the PeeCee. That is very interesting. Keep us posted if it works. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

I think so. That's what I've been using whenever iCab 3.0.5 won't run, alongside some Netscape and IE for the sweet memories.

Hm, I wonder if the "family pack" license would let you install on multiple VMs on the same hardware? Click to expand... There's no such thing as a "family pack" license for OS…

In what ways, specifically, did the G5 outperform the mini? I don't think anybody actually said that things which were completely disk-bound would be better on a mini, although I d…

Hi all, I recently found an Ethernet network card for my SE/30, which is pretty cool. Now, the card only has a BNC connector, which is much less cool. To tell the truth, I had…

I just installed 8.6 on a spare hard drive that I put into my G4 Sawtooth, It now Quad-boots into any of the following: - Ubuntu 6.10 - Mac OS X 10.1.3 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Mac OS 8…

Can you explain a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean by 'wash the logic board' (unless you mean physically cleaning it with some sort of cleaner). Tempest

So cool! Ok, you'll always find people who do have more than you do… Greener grass, they say? AFAIK, DP1 and DP2 never made it on CD to mainstream developpers. Or did they? I…

This behaviour sounds just like that of my 840av before I washed the logic board. (I know, it needs new caps really.) Much a-goo about everything, as it turned out, though on first…

On my netbook, (Don't ask the brand... ), I have Leopard, Snow Leopard, Ubuntu and Windows. Click to expand... What brand? MSI? Dualboot annoys me because of the loss synchr…

But I can definitely justify to the management to buy ONE Xserve and run multiple copies from with the proper licensing. Click to expand... Consider also the new Mac Mini Serve…

Sorry, he didn't say Cheers Hugh
