I have replaced the 40GB drive in my iLamp to an 80GB Seagate. Now, when I was swapping drives I noticed the old drive had this white paper taped to the drive. What was the reason …

Goodbye, I guess. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the goodbye threads...Seems really attention-whoreish, in my opinion. I'm probably the only one that feels this way, though. Cli…

Shred, were your tapes NTSC or PAL? If Apple shipped PAL tapes to Australia (the prudent choice), then I have no business bidding on this. I really don't want to dig up the old P…

Farewell.

You're not.

Goodbye, I guess. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the goodbye threads...Seems really attention-whoreish, in my opinion. I'm probably the only one that feels this way, though.

Congratulations! http://lowendmac.com/oldmac/compact2.html and http://www.preterhuman.net/texts/computing/Apple_Service_PDF/68k_Macintosh/macintosh_se.pdf will be useful for t…

You were nice and always brought a sense of humore here. We'll miss you! And I wholeheartedly agree with your advice. After I buy a PowerComputing clone and a Macintosh IIci wi…

WOW!!! Nice! I love when people get those deals like that.

What a score! :O The machine sounds like a beauty, I hope she serves you well!

Hi, Sent you an email. What is really interesting is that there are other disks still out there. A quick type in Apple Disk brought back over 15K of results. Only a small percenta…

I just had to share. I've had a string of bad luck with a 2400c I had so I bought a cheapo "parts machine" off of eBay awhile back and thought it'd be good to change out the boards…

I was like that before I got married. Between work and home life I don't really have time to go around and collect computers anymore. At one time I had about 20 compact Macs in m…

CORRECTION The screwdriver was a 150x3mm flat blade (200m length would have been better but I couldn't find one)

I have to agree. The PowerBook 140/160/170/180 was a nice piece of industrial design. The way that the battery door acts to lock the case halves together makes it impossible to d…

I remember throwing a heap of those self-paced training videos out about 10 years ago. I still have the certificates for successfully completing the "self-track" courses. (You to…

Success - I’ve managed to open her up without using a torx screwdriver! A 50x3 mm flat blade does the job nicely. Special thanks go to http://home24.inet.tele.dk/ccadams/se/torx.…

It's just happened again. I can confirm the system is 100% unresponsive when it happens. It doesn't respond to ping, there's no sound and an external display doesn't do a thing. Wh…

What does SCSI-probe say? Click to expand... Tried SCSI probe, but it looks as if the drive isn't connected at all. Drives generally have a variety of jumper-controlled …

Check the power connector for cracks in the solder to the pcboard. Check the voltage at the drive under load if possible or atleast check to see if there is a voltage dip when runn…

You burned out fast didn't you (joined at the end of 2008 not even a year).

The capacity of the drives do not really equate to power consumption. Personally I would connect them to a known good computer/enclosure and test them like that as well as check t…
