Are you planning on actually using it for anything? If so, then go for the Indigo simply because its RAM is cheaper and easier to find, faster and a little nicer looking IMO. It'…

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Hmmm... That's not going to be easy unless you have an 8100/80 to look at. The multiplier on the 100 and 110 MHz machines is three, so if you change the oscillator to 40 MHz, the C…

Calling all experts... Has anyone of you ever done this or have any inside info on how to do it? What I would like to do to the above mentioned machines is: 1. Install 40 MHz os…

That's a really good writeup on the LC series, Scott, thanks for that. In Australia at least though, the LC475/575/630 were sold directly to consumers.

...AND I spoke too soon. I went to open up a help menu to reconfigure my Favorite keys and I'm getting bomb errors.. AGAIN. After initializing the disk and doing a clean installati…

How to test the power supply: 1. Turn on the Mac IIfx. 2. Set your volt meter to 20V range DC 3. Touch the black probe to a pin of the power supply connector that is connecte…

All models with "LC" in their name were popular in schools. In fact, the LC line became education-only after some time. I believe the original LCIII (not LCIII+) was the last LC so…

I finally found a copy of Cliff Joyce's masterpiece "Calculator Construction Set" thanks to waynes.com. I haven't tried it yet (I really don't want to unshrinkwrap this rarity!) bu…

2. I also tried to boot from the hard drive the was in my SE (it had System 6.0. 8) , also a no go. I didn't even hear it spin. Click to expand... AHA! Your +12V is bad! We no…

Ok got some testing done, not good news. 1. AfterMAc's drive is good (tested on my SE), but the IIfx just gives me a disk with an X when I plug it in and try to boot from a disk (…

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…

Ooo... just sent an email. I work in Ann Arbor.

For anyone interested here's a link to a Lemswap post for a free 128K Mac, upgraded to a 512K. NOT my sale. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap/browse_thread/thread/4e81c78c9e…

Actually I swapped the chips out of a dead Superdrive unit so it should function as a 1.44MB drive. Tempest Click to expand... Even better!

I think it would be more interesting to convert it to USB (same thing, just new chip which can be found pretty much everywhere) course I think old keyboards on new systems are jus…

I'd like to thank everyone for their help, I finally got around to messing with the iBook again. I did what you said Phreakout, but Stuffit still wouldn't open. First Disk Aid sai…

my teacher has two of the older iMacs. one is a Blondi blue and the other is an indigo, i might be able to find some space in my room to keep it, now I need to convince my parents …

Your English is fine. Thankyou for the extra information. Dual have 2MB L3 cache per processor.Single have 1MB L3 cahe per processor. Click to expand... I would expect …

You could try removing the drive and physically hold it in your hand and twist it back and forth vigorously, as if trying to make the platters inside turn back and forth. This com…

I'll crack open my spare SE tonight. Not only does it have two floppy bays (which means I won't have to take the other one out), it also has a good working HD installed. I can kil…

Notes towards that approach can be found here and here

I'll try that tonight and see if it helps any. Maybe it will stop chirring and fire up.
