Use crazy glue and stick the ripped off pad back to the board, let dry. Put a small drop of flux in the crack between the traces and solder a bridge, then solder the capacitor to t…

Well im not sure what the problem is, I think you should throw it in the garbage tonight.

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Thanks for helping me with this, I'd like to get to the bottom. I've reinstalled the OS (9.2) several times, with no avail. Last time I completely reformatted it and preformed a c…

Dennis, I think it looks great! That's a nice mod. Useful too, if you start modifying the ROM code. Are you thinking about doing any disassembly? I ran across mention of a dis…

After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save work & restart) and it won't let me open some system files …

Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…

Anyone still have any ideas why this Mac won't open applications? After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save w…

My keyboard works fine the only problem is that it is stiffer than hickory wood! { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previo…

just scrape some soldermask off of the trace with a knife and be careful

Well, I tried recapping and, of course, one of the pads came off. I now have three useless LC motherboards. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

Deck II was definitely dsp aware. SoundEdit 16 also works, as I recall, but it has been a long while since I fired up the 840av for these purposes. Do you know about this FAQ docu…

Perhaps this is the reason the II FDHD requires 6.0.2, due to the different pin configuration from the SIMM to the chip? Click to expand... Nope, did you know that the original…

Mmm, get a load of that CRT.... [)] ]'>

Interesting tidbit. One of the floppy drives was once the property of Apple computer. There is a green sticker on the side.

I would say yes

I actually just ordered a CF-IDE adapter. Apparently these work very well in the 2300c. CF to SCSI would be a bit of a trick. Maybe I should look into that one for 280c owners.

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. Click to expand... Well, I didn't get to enjoy it for long. I packed it all up and got it shipped off to the "storage fac…

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like th…

The UltraDocks are really awesome! They're the MiniDocks with the huge empty space in the bottom, into which one Japanese Hacker put the AC Adapter, IIRC. I mention this because I…

As in literally found ... like on the street? Click to expand... Not completly. I got an email yesterday and said he did not want any money for them. It was a project that wa…

If you ever get that working, I'd happily pay far-too-much for one, if my budget even remotely permits. (Sadly, right now, my budget for such things is ZERO.)

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. The last time Rufus the cat caught an early morning mouse, he left the severed head on the floor in my room for my eve…
