Congratulations on the Apple Powered Speakers. They are lovely, aren't they? Click to expand... Thanks. And yes, they are. Though I realized the indoor lighting makes them …

The AppleDesign speakers are great. I actually use mine on my stereo, not a computer. Click to expand... Yeah, occasionally I will hook up my mp3 player to them. At one point I…

Check the Omaha Craigslist if you are interested, that's all I'm saying.

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

Lolwut? What do you mean it blew up? Pictures?

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here...

I wonder, but is it possible the system software doesn't have the correct or needed enabler for the CC? Depending on the system software version, was there ever an enabler require…

Thanks for the offer, but I just bought a cheap one off of eBay. Oh well, it only cost me $15 with shipping and it is from a reputable company. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $15…

I have a pc pci scsi card sitting in my parents garage you can have (its been sitting in the exact same place for 10 years now)

how did you manage that :?:

Never mind... Google is my friend. ) It's a SCSI, so now what? I would hate to buy a SCSI card for a drive that has been dormant for nearly ten years. :-/

Thanks - turned out to be the thermal paste on the CPU. Bought some. Applied it. And then it blew up! So I'm consigning it to the great scrapyard in the sky xx(

The AppleDesign speakers are great. I actually use mine on my stereo, not a computer. Welcome to the board!!! Did you get your user name from the office assistant found in Office …

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Click to expand... I think it'd be pretty much like beachycove said -- you'd do it just to say you did. If I ever come across…

Double -o parameters. -o rw,loop

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall. It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

What would you even do with 512MB in a Quadra? Would it be possible to install the OS to a RAM disk assuming you never shut the machine down? You'd have to reboot to use the OS fr…

Asanté FiendlyNet Click to expand... Is that for running networking daemons? Click to expand... Heh, well I hadn't thought of that for my 6100. But who knows? Con…

I have never used anywhere near 128MB running OS 8.1 and apps that run on a 68K. The extra RAM is just for bragging I guess.

The thing would take an aeon to start up Click to expand... An excellent point -- something I too often forget about 68k machines is the RAM check at startup.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

The PRAM battery is definitely NO good. I am going to replace it and see what happens. Thanks.
