OK. So the Display is a NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V And Guess what the Adaptor is also made by NEC! Oh the Irony! It is still doing nothing. The Machine has no hard drive in it. A…

Hi! I've been thinking. The only real way to make sure we still have powerbook 5XX machines that aren't in a million pieces for any meaningful amount of time is to make a new enclo…

Contrary to popular opinion, going past the red line means you'll need a new gauge. psssh. //wthww

There is probably a better answer, but for starters if you're using system 7 it should say on the "About this Macintosh" page (from Apple menu) the model of the Macintosh that you'…

Those dates indicated System 1.1g (the May 1984) Indeed, there is a "cleaner" .img file out there which has all of the original dates.

The report post button looks like this if you are using the theme that puts the avatars on the correct side subsilver2: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "…

OK. I would say you probably have no bot registrations and are looking at about 100% human spam registrations right now, most likely Chinese or Russians. The Mac question might hel…

I would agree with TL that handling the spammers as it currently stands is not so difficult. Many of them do post one or two things within an hour or so of having signed up, but ev…

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…

Now I just gotta get room for it all. Click to expand... If you say so. Nice little conquest, it's like the broken eMac I picked up just for the combo drive in it.

I picked up a broken quick silver yesterday for the handles I needed for my quick silver inside the qs was a superdrive, zip drive and a ati rage card got that for 10 bucks then th…

Oh, they're definitely 4mb SIMMs. I did a little searching and found that I was installing the SIMMs into the memory expansion card, and not the slots on the motherboard. So my n…

Sorry, it's a green wire. Although I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter

What is a Powertoggle? Click to expand... When you turn it on, wait for it to chime, and quickly shut it off and back on. It bypasses the need for a PRAM battery to be able to…

What is a Powertoggle?

The adaptor has no switches. I am away from home now. So I can't really get anymore details.

What sort of adaptor are you using? If you have an adaptor with DIP switches or a dial, you might want to adjust it to force the monitor to run at either 640x480 or 800x600.

OK. I would say you probably have no bot registrations and are looking at about 100% human spam registrations right now, most likely Chinese or Russians. The Mac question might hel…

I am pretty sure the display can display 800x600. The display is made by a company that starts with N I can't remember right now. I'll check later today and try resetting the PRA…

Hmm, sounds like an interesting solution. However, as I said above, we have had virtually no spam-bot registrations since adding the anti-spam questions to the registration form, t…

There is a (blue) wire soldered between the aluminium 'can' (looks like an oscillator - located by the power plug on the board) and the small square chip next to it. The capacitor…

Perhaps its a very early production model, and there was a part shortage at the time this machine was built? Or perhaps it could be a *very* late prototype? Does the board differ t…

Hi all, just bought a(nother) SE/30 on ebay, so I can practise with my imminent capacitor replacement for my 'proper' SE/30 running A/UX. The monitor's a bit ghosty and there's no …

Any thoughts on the Mac question idea? I thought that was pretty good. Click to expand... Hell yes, definitely if it's a 4400-related question.
