Just checked mine, and I think that it's safe to say that these mice are pin six free

I'm finally getting around to swapping the 68LC040 in my Q605 for a full 68040. I have a 68040 donor machine ready to go, put I have no experience pulling chips. Any advice on wher…

Just lever the the cpu with a thin knife, SLOWLY. I would suggest no more than 1mm or 1/32" before moving on to next side and repeating, the pins are only 3mm / 1/8". Ok you cant r…

The very early sawtooth used the same psu as the B&W. Most sawtooths had two more pins on the connector.

The Gateway probably wins, hands-down, for combination of oldest and "netbook"; although it wasn't really possible to use it as a "netbook" when it was new. The roughly same age, …

Anybody ever try putting a Sawtooth motherboard in a B&W case? Since it looks like the motherboard in my B&W is dead, I'm thinking it would make more sense just to…

I suppose it's just speaking the obvious to point out it'd probably be a bad idea to put that G4 module into your beige machine, unless you're willing to take the risk that it'll m…

congrats, it sounds like its a cool conquest, and a ton of fun, but... your going to have to go back abit further for "netbooks" http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Libret…

I was at SalVal today, and found a small leather bag which contained a fully functional AST 280M notebook. Specs: Cyrix (Ha! Remember them?) 200GXM CPU 32 MB RAM 8" 640x480 col…

epic, hm that's a good word for it

No Pin for the Win! Yes, I am epic.

Thanks. Just a fast question : do i have to install OS 9 first and then add OS 9.1 ? Or Can I just trash the 9.1 that's installed now and then just run the OS 9.1 installer ? O…

At this point, I'm at a bit of a loss about what to do. My two choices seem to be either to try and grab a cheap releacement motherboard (preferably a rev2 to replace the current r…

OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 aren't supported on pre-G3 systems, you need OS 9 Helper to use those versions. Out of curiousity, are you sure that the card is even any good? Have you tested i…

I checked the M0100 and the Mouse IIe; both are without that pin.

ok, cool, now i just have to find a mac for this mouse!

No pin six here

OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 aren't supported on pre-G3 systems, you need OS 9 Helper to use those versions. Out of curiousity, are you sure that the card is even any good? Have you tested …

Just to confirm the 2 other posts, I just checked my 3 M0100 mice, one is new in bag and one has been used once, and none have pin 6.

I appear to have the "official" OS 9 and 9.1 installers. I've done the install and re-installs so many times that at this point of trying to get that Belkin card going i'll do a b…

What kind of CD did you try? Are you sure it's undamaged? Is it a burned CD, or a factory-pressed one? If the former, expect trouble in older drives. Is it an HFS disc? HFS+? ISO?…

Yes the cable that i ordered is '8 pin MiniDIN on each end'.thank you very much for your help Bunsen.

My M0100 has no pin 6, and I'm sure it's not just 'broken off'.

I usually use a thin screwdriver. I know, not the recommended way of doing it, but as long as you are extremely gentle, you should be fine. I've been doing this for years, and have…
