I bought a modem/router with ethernet ports and wireless. I connected it to my Quadra 650. The display on the 650 started flickering/rolling. Is there any reason for the two to …

To be frank, it's not basic at all with the right software. Here are some useful addons: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/71more.html

I got 7.1 pro installed. Should i get the update from apple or is it pointless? Its gonna have to wait till i get some floppy disks... My hard drive icon changed from the little la…

Picked these up at the HAAUG swap meet last weekend. I offered them all cash, but all refused. I'm puzzled by people's lack of appreciation for high quality classic games, but at…

Thanks for the confirmation that I should do the analog boards too. I've heard of "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" - while Alibris has somone selling a new copy for $9…

The tape trick only tells the drive (and OS) that it is dealing with double-density media, and only works reasonably well if the disk has never, ever been formatted or otherwise wr…

What are folks' opinions on doing pre-emptive replacement work on the analog board? Click to expand... It's a must, really. Capacitors that are over 20 years old and very susce…

Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

So I did a little more searching, and here are the motherboard capacitors used in a 128k: 33µF 16V, 2 pieces 4.7µF 35V, 1 piece Got that info from here: http://retromaccast.ning…

Thanks for the tips! I'll contact trag regarding the SE/30 caps. However, that still leaves the Mac 128k, and capacitors in power supplies/analog boards in these compact Macs. I…

http://www.archive.org/index.php Always been a great tool for download of files from defunct websites.

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 m…

Excellent! where(how) ever did you find this archive?

I have just bought an indigo G3 400mhz (slot loader cd model) off eBay for £10 Sure I admit it's not as if they are not readily available but it's my first owning of an iMac Off …

Shame about the 7600 but I do prefer the tower case design of the 96xx series and will get it all running one way or another. TAM shipping bill was included in an agreed overall p…

Most versions of System 7 were exceedingly unstable on the 6100 and other PowerMacs, in my experience. I would suggest going up to 8.1 unless you have some special reason to hang …

A 9600/G4/400 with a SCSI-IDE converter is nothing to be sniffed at! Even with a dead 7600 in your hands, that's a pretty good set of scores. May I ask what the shipping bill for…

It sounds as though the Powerbook is booting from the internal drive still. You can't format or erase the disk that you've booted from, as that could potentially leave you with a …

:'( That indeed was a really nice Macintosh. Just keep everything around until a power supply might come your way.

System 7.1 will run well in 8MB of physical RAM, but System 7.1.3 will run even better. It takes a little work, since you have to 'construct' it for yourself, but it allows many r…

Very interesting... I was overly dramatic in my last post ignore. It seems that these roaches do it for money. But on the other side they are doing a good to the world by keep…
