LC II hard drive question... — #14
It's really strange. My dad bought me that computer in '92 or '93. I haven't used it since around 2000. I bought an iMac in '98 and the iMac's IDE drive is toast.

It works! It arrived today. I was able to get all of the information off of the drive, including a game that my dad was working on that I lost many years ago. :approve: I'm in mo…

This program and driver allow custom resolutions using built-in video on a PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 8600. I have used it to get perfect 1920x1080 on an LCD for over a m…

somebody already laid claim to it, but I do have another B&W G3 with similiar specs and I wasn't 100% on if he wants the monitor or not. So depending on that you could take…

cube hard drive issues — #10
Take the VRM (DC-DC board) out and clean the contacts. While it's out, look for evidence of overheating. If anything looks scorched, you probably should replace it. Check the rest …
cube hard drive issues — #9
The spin up/spin down issues you are experiencing suggest a flaky DC board; check the CubeOwner forums for more information on this. While you're at it, check the PRAM battery and…
Why the unusual frequency? — #18
In 1985 Steve Beck wanted to be able to project a Mac's video with a standard TV projector. I built up a bunch of dual ported VRAM (parallel I/O and built-in shift register) with a…
cube hard drive issues — #8
Some newer hard drives are low power 5900 RPM drives. I've started buying only LP because the power consumption is about 1/3 of a typical 7200 RPM drive they're replacing. For inst…

Model 100's are awesome machines for what they're capable of. I have several here. A piece of lore behind the Model 100, btw, is that the Word Processing component of it is the l…

Need advice on Wallstreet problems — #9
Battery reset is indeed useful for when battery capacity/use gets a bit out of sync.
After months of regular use, a pair of WS batteries in my 300Mhz one will get me around 3 hour…

Need advice on Wallstreet problems — #8
The Wallstreet would make an ideal bridge between an Ethernet/TCP/IP/WiFi LAN and a Localtalk/Phonenet/Appletalk network of older Macs, if, as I vaguely recall, it has old-school M…
