OK, Well I don't have an Oscilloscope... Has anyone ever done this? I am not going to take the Mac Apart. Would a Semi-Dead ADB Mouse work? Does anyone have instructions for a part…

What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. …

I'd have a field day at that place... it's like the battleground of the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army troops, those that could be saved have been air lifted to safety and are now i…
Definitely go back and move some wood. I would scavenge around in the the rusted Macs for parts, although if they got moist, then don't bother.

Not trying to discourage you, just warning ya.
The SE's ethernet card probably has the AUI connector and the regular rj45 connecter. Either connector will work to provide the same 10Mb/sec ethernet connectivity, so you won't ev…
