Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #17

It sounds like you're not even getting a bong. Which is what leads me to CPU card seating problems. Click to expand... Yes, I had been getting the chime, but now I'm not. I'l…

The cache modules show IDT as the maker. Click to expand... Thanks Unknown_K, this is the same as mine. From what I've read online, the cache works under OS 7.01 and 7.1 but t…

How many have a Powermac G5? — #10

Speed is of coarse the driving factor for most using the Mac Pro. I think the loss of PPC support will eventually get a lot of people to move on once Apple stops releasing securit…

How many have a Powermac G5? — #9

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine. Click to e…

Horrified — #4

I don't think it was heat. It is in a cool environment, the fan in it works fine, and the case never gets hot. I always hear this pippling noise whenever I start the SE up or shut…

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #16

I don't think you mentioned the CPU card. Given the symptoms, my guess would be a faulty/poorly installed CPU card. Try removing and reseating it. If that fails, unplug the powe…

Making Radius Video Card Main Video OutPut. — #4

If you do not have anything connected to the built-in video (you don't, do you, even a Mac-to-VGA adapter counts here) then the Mac should detect this and default the start-up scre…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #12

Repackaging the SIMM ROM types in DIPs is no doubt achievable but you need a lot of motivation to try it. Trag knows about repackaging soldered ROMs as SIMMs from his work on the I…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #11

software patching cannot handle everything. If it could, the 512K could boot directly from an HD20. Click to expand... No it couldn't... it would have to boot from a floppy to …

SE ROM In Plus — #9

The Outbound Laptop Model 125 could use either the Plus ROM or the SE ROM. I think that all of mine use the Plus ROM. It would be interesting to see one which uses the SE ROM t…

Could be that teh power supply is getting marginal. If it drops too far below 5V you'll see behaviour like that. The fix could be as simple as turning the voltage adjustment scr…

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #13

Am I right in assuming, from the replies, that no one thinks that putting in the two RAM SIMMs affected the 9500's condition?

Very nice. As for the WGS 95 card...I'm fairly sure that you actually need A/UX in order for it to work. It'll run with 7.01 or 7.1 installed...but I don't think it'll actually …
