Carlo (Mr.T), after reading your post again I see that you are expressing disappointment over not having a stock 128k. What I can say is that 128k logic boards are often sold on E…

As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible. Click to expand... For example I have a "System 7.5 network install CD", you need a lower version and b…

I do have external SCSI CD drives, but not the HDI-30 adapter to attach it. As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible.

If you have another old mac with a CD drive and have the necessary networking hardware (and I assume you do), stick the CD in another machine, turn on filesharing, and mount the CD…

No fair! I've always wanted a cube.

JDW, the pictures referred to show the decoder. Before there were little decoder boards made, people piggybacked an additional 7AS153 atop the one at F3 as in this photo: http://h…

(Are you speaking of the 7 holes shown in my photos between RP1 and C34? Click to expand... That is exactly right. There are many pictures on the forum of these mini-mux boards …

The chip inside the Cube's amplifier module is a TriPath TA1101B 20W digital amplifier, so indeed a TriPath amp is a terrific match for these speakers. They are 8 Ohm impedance. T…

Here are my 128k logic board photos, which show top and bottom and many angles. Click on the individual photos, then click on the little "All Sizes" button above the photo to see …

Do you have a SCSI CDROM drive to boot the 1400 from? Install from another Mac with SCSI target mode?

Some Macs have hardware memory controller limits - only so many address lines. Many are limited by the boot ROM to a certain ceiling. I think the Classic II is one of these. There …

I have a couple of early 128K boards; both are marked 820-0086-C in the top copper layer, and printed with a © 1983 date. Later 128K/512K boards do not need the little decoder boar…

It's not a SIMM-size limit; it's a limit of the logic board's memory controller. The Color Classic, for example, comes with 4MB RAM soldered onto the logic board, and it has two SI…

I now have five of these little gems; paid less than $50 for each. Great keyboards and very very robust. My latest one was used in a school - it's more beat up than my other ones, …

My Beige G3 is the music server for our house. It sits on the network and runs iTunes with sharing enabled and these: http://soundbridge.roku.com/soundbridge/index.php connect …

As you are probably aware, ASP tells you which ROM is installed: $77D.40F2 revision A $77D.45F1 revision B $77D.45F2 revision C. Somewhere (but which where escapes me) is an (i…

The best way to reset the pram is to disconnect main power, disconnect the PS from the motherboard, remove the pram battery, tap the power button to kill any residual voltage, and …

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

Hmmm. The discussion about H2O2 makes me wonder what effect a solution of KNO3 would have... For that matter, given that the Oxi-whatever produces H2O2 can you just dispense with…

JDW: Nice work! I saw your pictures and your mac/parts/pieces look fantastic! I've been away from these forums for the summer and was glad to return and see you had given it a t…

Very nice!

Awwwwww, lucky! I got a 10gig 2G a while back that played stuff fine, but I could never get it to sync with my machines. Then the screen ribbon cable came apart :\

do you have the latest powerlogix software? Mine lets me go higher than that chip is rated for, so I don't see why it wouldn't do that with a 900 too.

I pulled the on board cache card from the mother board when I installed the G3 years ago. This was recommended in the Sonnet installation instructions. The 500Mhz G3 processor wo…

Thought I might post the machine I have the parts, but not the time to build - CPU - 900 MHz Powerlogix CPU - We were going to try to overclock this to 1000 MB- RV 2 I believe. I…
