You want to measure voltages with the power supply plugged into the motherboard. I believe it needs a load to function properly. Mike

Well I did what II2II suggested and took a multimeter to the power supply. First off idk if this is another symptom, but when the system board is unplugged from the psu, and u turn…

Ok, thanks, once I get back from our camping trip I'll open up the iMac and see if there's a dead battery. -Apostrophe

My 2E used to overheat on hot summer nights, and when it did, it would behave very strangely. That's why clip-on cooling fans were a very popular accessory. And for years, someone …

I don't think there's any difference between a dead battery and no battery in an iMac, it should still boot. It's the same 3.6 v battery that they've been using forever, so luckil…

Hi, I'm in a good mood; today me and my dad were over at the house we're trying to sell, to clean up the yard and stuff. While there, I picked up our hp Photosmart printer. I br…

If you just want the apps, use Pacifist. I've done this with older OS X 10.2 OEM discs in order to get AppleWorks to convert a document from .wrk to .doc and I was able to extract…

I'm more inclined to say the PSU is the problem, probably because my II+ was exhibiting similar problems and swapping in a modified AT PSU solved most of the problems. The quickes…

I forgot to mention that the G3 has a DVD reader Drive thingamabob.

Wait a minute.... Get XPostFacto and try the disk or if you just want toe apps find the terminal command to enable hidden files and look through the packages you want installed.

Unfortunately, the disk is exclusively for the iMac G5. All grey-colored Apple install discs are. You'll need a reatail 10.2 or 10.3 disc to install onto the beige G3. 10.3 will ne…

I wonder if you could / super glue the tabs, then use conductive paint to connect the tabs? Click to expand... You could probably make up a mix of conductive paste with supergl…

Our iMac G5 came with software disks, as all Macintosh computers. I took the "Mac OS X Install Disk 1" disk and I put it into the G5 (which now runs 10.5.3). Inside I saw the Insta…

Easy causes could be loose chips (give a solid push with your thumb on any socketed ones) or a marginal power supply (try with no cards (especially the disk drive card) installed).…

Yes, it did cross my mind when you joined up. The other macdan is a bit of a Powerbook guru. In fact, he might have just given me the clue I need to make the UJ-841 drive bootabl…

Well I bought a Monitor II, Apple IIe, Disk II, Parallel Pro Card, 80 column card, etc. It was complete in all the boxes, with manuals and disks, and extra parts with only little u…

How does it manage the stack? The basic 6502's 256 bytes in page 1 isn't much. Presumably it manages an additional psuedo 16 bit stack ptr. I managed to compile my favourite text e…

I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW. Click to expand... The Orca compiler you're thinking of is Orca/C and you can find it here: …

I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW.

I may be able to obtain a logic board from a 600 MHz G3 iMac cheaply. Can this be put into my 400 MHz iMac? If so, what (if any) modifications are necessary to do so? Thanks.

Have you looked into cc65? You ought to be able to build it on a Mac, and it supports Apple II as a target.

Curious if anyone knows of any cross compiler or Apple II Dev tools that run on 68k macs? Thanks, Nathan
