It is shocking how bad even some new houses are wired these days plus the bad carpentry and general construction. It is said that few newer houses will last for 100 years like olde…

Not to keep too far off-topic... My house is massively badly wired. The previous owner was an expert tile person. He re-tiled the house incredibly well (although it was in the 7…

In a pinch, you can use a nightlight or some other kind of light which doesn't draw a lot of power. Touch one prong to the grounded case of something plugged into a good outlet, th…

You'll need to read the Read Me file about users with PowerPC upgrade cards. There's usually a section on that. It should be on the Install CD.

Your SE/30 should be able to format an 800k disk as single-sided 400k format with System 6 or 7.

The symptoms started after I added the RAM, which was about 2 weeks ago.

I think that some of the RAM might be bad, because the 8100 is now unstable. Click to expand... An X100 machine that old, there's a good chance that the heat sink grease is wor…

Ah, here we go. The Unofficial Turbo 601 Home Page: http://www.brinnoven.co.uk/turbo601/index.html And similarly for the PowerPro http://lowendmac.com/quadra/unofficial-powerpr…

You can also buy a little device that looks like an oversize 3-prong plug that you simply plug into an outlet and lights on the device tell you if the outlet is wired properly. On…

I did a handful recently, and uploaded them to the wiki. They look very nice at larger sizes. At 32px, I think I prefer the isometric view of the Icon Factory icons. YMMV. I'm …

Basically, I am, but I'm not. Like, I can use it, but I have to put up with my parents telling me about how Tracy Grimshaw or whoever the hell it is that does A Current Affair thes…

Unfortunately, the only way you're going to be able to test for anything is with a multimeter.

HOLY CRAP! THE Steve Landon! How'd you get that?! This guy has been hunted for years!

As much as I'd love to take it up to say, a gig...I can't imagine being able to find 2 512MB PC133 sticks around here for anywhere near a price that I'd want to pay. Click to ex…

"Steve Landon's Computer" Click to expand... Heheheheheh. Good times. Now let's work out who he stole that machine from.

WOW! Another reason not to smoke my friends.

Another note, I use tiger as my OS of choice on my 350MMHZ Slotloader and 'tis is fine.

Post pictures to imageshack and then embed them here. For a start you may want to remove the extra board.

Your Mac shows 512K because it has the original 64K ROMs most likely. You actually have 1.5MB of RAM installed, it looks like. The mobo RAM chips have probably been replaced upgrad…

Sounds like typical symptoms of capacitor leakage. My Classic II gave me the jailbars a few years back, washed the board and although the sound never returned, the machine was as g…

I have a classic II that had a similar problem, it was cap leakage.

Hehe I was waiting for someone to see the CD-ROM and go "wtf" Indeed it is by my own hand. On a poor resolution iPhone camera it looks like a decent job, however up close you can …

Methinks the classic II is slightly dead. Pulled the thing apart again, the motherboard was fairly free of dust. Examined the RAM and connectors, no tarnishing or discolouration.…

I have to agree with the consensus that the CD-ROM equipped IIsi is a hack. But one well-executed hack, at least from the outside. When I get my IIsi out of storage, I may have t…
