If you want a copy of the original 7.1.2 for PowerPC, I think I just found my OS disc collection, and could image the disc for you. (Only the very first set of PPCs could run 7.1.…

I'm not sure if it would work, since its a PowerPC, but you may also want that version of the CFM-68k Runtime Enabler that caused data loss. (IIRC it was version 3.0) Click t…

They're "available" in the sense that they exist. The normal sources are parts scavenged from other units. There are three chips in toto -- two ROMs, and one "SWIM" chip. You ne…

Wow! My total CPU count has doubled in the past week, but my wallet remains at a constant size. 8-o First conquest: Power Mac 8100/80 from the library of a neighboring village.…

What I mean to say is, I got it running and everything, but I could not get it to connect to the G3. So, I found another program called DCOM which worked just fine.

Is that you, slomacuser? :lol:

That is quite possibly the coolest and most precarious setup I have ever seen. Just think, if you type a little too hard, or bump your head into the leaning tower of drives while b…

You didn't need the rework station, and you shouldn't need solder paste. Some irons, tweezers, good tin lead solder, and a desoldering braid are good enough for replacing surface m…

The Duos can use a normal PowerBook G3/iBook Clamshell/PB 1400/2300/3400/Duo adapter, so they're easy to find. There are tons of generic ones on eBay for about $12 shipped.

Just wait until CaryMG gets back here and sees us all laughing at him. Click to expand... lol :b&w:

OK I just tested it with another LCD and it works fine. Its my Dad's LCD so I can't use it much. YAY!

A IIgs power supply will physically fit in a IIe. Late model IIe's used the same power supply as the IIgs though with a different power connector. So to use a IIgs power supply the…

Don't forget that the 6200 series will display nothing if a dead PRAM battery is installed, test it with a multimeter to make sure it is near 3.6 volts. Click to expand... Not …

Welcome to the board.

Both the PBs are Duo 230s. No power cords, one is missing the trackball, but cosmetically not too bad other than some minor scuffing.

Hope you can find one. I used to own a IIe and burned up maybe 3 power supplies over the course of 5 years of ownership until I finally found one which seemed more stable. Then I d…

You couldn't get it working? I did. You will need to manipulate the SHK's on Cidepress according to the manual's instructions for file placement. When I get home I could send you s…

Yeah I forgot to test the CRTs... I am going to try another LCD. And I think the PRAM is good, would it chime if it was bad?

Ooops! Missed one other thing - looks like C12 is in a different location (the other side of the ROM slot) Cheers again!

Welcome Outlander. Hopefully your expertise and experience with older Macintoshes will be valuable to this community.

Progress is that..... a cd did become mounted on the desktop... at least, ones that boot automatically seem to mount, and after installing Toast I got one of my own burned cd's to …
