Is there ANY other way to get it to work than replacing the caps?

As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.

bad caps can cause audio problems, course so could a blown in a perfect way speaker

after looking over that site I could have sworn that back in grade school one of our teachers had a sound blaster hooked up to her IIe it was nearly identical to the echo II but …

Ok so I got my Mac Classic today and everything works on it (thank gosh) except for the speakers. You can barely hear them but you'd have to cram your head in the screen to hear it…

Luddite, I'm going to have to explore your site. I have both 3-voice and 9-voice ALF cards, the 12-voice AE copy of ALF, a Decillionix card, and of course the Mountain Computer car…

The RAM card is probably of the Slinky-type, meaning that it feeds out bytes one a time, in sequential order, just like a tape drive. It is probably less desirable than a RamWorks-…

I have a bit of alphaSyntauri software posted on my site... it's been a couple of years since I've played about with mine, but it really is a fun rig to noodle with.

the fact that its been taken out of the box means that its no longer worth as much as it would have been NIB Click to expand... I don't think it would matter, or affect the pri…

Nice! I have a ][e Enhanced from 86

Today's rescue is a //e from about 1985 with a couple of Teac 1/2 height floppies (all labels in Japanese), a couple of mystery cards in slots 1 & 5, and an Apple RAM expan…

There's a bid on it now at $130 + 45 ship, so looks like he's going to get his price...wow.

The video card arrived today. It turns out to be a PrecisionColor Pro 24XK. http://lowendmac.com/video/radiuspro24xk.html It's not bad, not the fastest nubus accelerator or the h…

which Apple already did with Mac OS X Click to expand... You know that´s not true Keith Stattenfield and his team did a lot of work at OS 9 already, until Steve Jobs forced …

I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…

Do the ATI OS 9 drivers properly support the 9700? I thought the 9200 (RV250) was the last card officially supported by ATI for OS 9, but I would be delighted to be wrong. Click…

I am seeing more and more barebones LCDs on eBay that include the D/A board (the expensive part.) Many are 640x480. You'd have to build your own enclosure for it. They're also a…

The datasheet says that the 88920 is for slower 20 - 25 MHz operating frequencies. And that the 88916 isn't suited for the slower speeds. Click to expand... Just curious - wh…

I disagree. You don't need to constantly upgrade a machine to have a longer useful lifespan Click to expand... well the examples you gave for what is still working for you is a…

Ok so far no big losses. I guess I'll stick with my SE/30.

I would not switch to a Mac mini:- slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non-u…

Magaroids will only work on a Mac 512KE and earlier. It won't even work on a Plus. I think that Arkanoid won't work on anything later than an SE (maybe a Classic).

Just as the opposite example. Missile Command is a game written in 1984 for the Mac 128k and System 1.0. It also runs on the latest Power Mac G3 system with OS 9.2.2.

Sounds like it was a slightly used/upgraded system and the seller found a mint box to stuff it in. If I was going to flip a shrinkwrapped item I would not open it.

I know for a fact Dinosaur Discovery Kit (from First Byte) doesn't work on SE/30s. This was explicitly stated in the third edition of the Macintosh Bible. (It supposedly only works…
