Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

So I did a little more searching, and here are the motherboard capacitors used in a 128k: 33µF 16V, 2 pieces 4.7µF 35V, 1 piece Got that info from here: http://retromaccast.ning…

Thanks for the tips! I'll contact trag regarding the SE/30 caps. However, that still leaves the Mac 128k, and capacitors in power supplies/analog boards in these compact Macs. I…

http://www.archive.org/index.php Always been a great tool for download of files from defunct websites.

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 m…

Excellent! where(how) ever did you find this archive?

Shame about the 7600 but I do prefer the tower case design of the 96xx series and will get it all running one way or another. TAM shipping bill was included in an agreed overall p…

Most versions of System 7 were exceedingly unstable on the 6100 and other PowerMacs, in my experience. I would suggest going up to 8.1 unless you have some special reason to hang …

A 9600/G4/400 with a SCSI-IDE converter is nothing to be sniffed at! Even with a dead 7600 in your hands, that's a pretty good set of scores. May I ask what the shipping bill for…

It sounds as though the Powerbook is booting from the internal drive still. You can't format or erase the disk that you've booted from, as that could potentially leave you with a …

:'( That indeed was a really nice Macintosh. Just keep everything around until a power supply might come your way.

System 7.1 will run well in 8MB of physical RAM, but System 7.1.3 will run even better. It takes a little work, since you have to 'construct' it for yourself, but it allows many r…

Very interesting... I was overly dramatic in my last post ignore. It seems that these roaches do it for money. But on the other side they are doing a good to the world by keep…

Aw that sucks! That was such a nice machine!

Well the weekend just gone I had a proper look over the 7600 G4 and found that in the optional zip drive bay it had a 30 GB IDE hard drive with a SCSI adapter on it! WEIRD.... Any…

The SE's over in the IT department at the moment. The IT systems administrator said it "bought back a lot of memories" so I let them keep it for the night.

There's several different types of recyclers that I've experienced. 1. Non-profit computer recycler. These guys are great. I was there on a Saturday once and they had a U-Haul dri…

So heres the update, i can't initialise the drive using Apples hd sc program. It says the device is still mounted or that i file is in use, even after i drag the hard drive to tras…

I'm willing to bet you have a MiniScribe hard drive. These drives were prone to failure in the first place and seem to be failing at an alarmingly high rate as of late due to age (…
