Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #21

ISTR that you shouldn't mix EDO and FPM RAM in one machine: can't recall if that's "no boot" bad, or "escaping magic smoke" bad.

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #20

I did get it, and it looks great. Not a lot of yellowing, either. Shipped in an original Power Mac 8100/80 box with styrofoam. Kinda neat to have that, too. The floppy drive bezel …

Macintosh SE with Radius Accelerator 16 — #16

I'm just using the Accelerator 2.9 CP, which I installed via a RadiusWare 2.0 disk from an image that Unknown_K sent me, which AFAIK is the correct one. The first trouble came when…

Macintosh SE with Radius Accelerator 16 — #15

What rev of RadiusWare are you running? Your problem/setup doesn't sound kosher at all to me! IIRC, ALL my RadiusWare info and All revisions from the 16 under OS 6 thru the Rocket…

Need RAM identification Help Please! — #4

My 2c: Smaller module: 95% sure that's a PB3400 module, hopefully 64MB. May not work in a Kanga/3500 unless you're lucky (see my thread on modification of 3400 module for use in …

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #19

So did you get the 840AV - hows it look? I'm pretty sure I've a 32MB EDO SIMM in my 840AV - it won't hurt - give it a shot - but ideally you should go for FPM. ECC EDO RAM def…

Lombard case plastics — #2

The traditional way to prevent cracks from going further is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Not flash, but will save the plastic from further cracking. JB

Holy of Holies -- Quadra 840AV! — #18

Well I got a bunch of memory on craigslist the other day for REALLY cheap. Guaranteed to work or my money back. They're 72pin 60ns SIMMs, but they're EDO, and I wanted to make sure…

Need RAM identification Help Please! — #3

I would place my bet on one of the following: PowerBook 190, 5300, 3400, and (judging by what I have read here lately) the G3 "Kanga." As far as I know, some 190 and 5300 RAM mod…

eMac HD replacement - yikes! — #13

The noise issue is a common complaint... I used my 700MHz eMac for occasional recording and solved the problem quite easily by hanging a thick fuzzy towel on the wall behind it.

eMac HD replacement - yikes! — #11

eMacs are loud? WTF? Every single eMac I have ever used (it's got to be over 50 by now) has been very quiet. These are mostly 1.25 and 1.42 GHz, so maybe the older models were dif…

That's about the standard price for kits that I've seen on ebay - or even less! And as they mostly ship from Hong Kong or mainland China, it ends up cheaper for us southerners. I…

The "ouch... free IIci" — #18

I got a decent amount of the paint off. A few more coats of it, and it should be gone. I'm pretty sure a normal soap/water scrub would work fine.
