Ha! my old thread bounced back to near the top!
At first glance my board looked clean albeit dusty. When I removed the board and dusted it off and held it to the bright light I c…

Capacitors can still go bad without leaking. They are very likely to be the problem. There is also a slight chance that the sound output port is dirty. I'm pretty sure that ther…

Hi Dennis,
Yes, the IIci boots and works just fine. The only thing AWOL is the sound. I've inspected the motherboard and see no evidence of leaking caps. As long as it works, I'll…
All it needs is new capacitors on the logic board (permanent fix). At least wash the logic board (temporary fix), it might work. We have tutorials around here on how to do those …

I'm packing up to move at the end of the month and have decided to lighten it up this time. In the back of a pile of junk (where does it accumulate from? LOL!) I dug up my IIci. It…
There used to be arguments among memory upgraders about whether to use sockets or not. There are some 128K boards which just don't have enough juice to drive the extra capacitance …

I just went and bought a new screen for my PowerBook G4 today!
Now all I have to do is wait 3-4 days. Finally, I'll be able to use it as a laptop, except I don't have a battery…
Notice, he's wisely replaced them with sockets. But I have a stack of failed 128K boards all with Apple-branded, Sad Mac RAM error codes in need of replacement. Yet I have never se…
The best thing to purchase is a universal power adapter. These have a few different plugs and allow for the voltage to be set to many different settings. I've used one of these to …

I wish I could help with a picture or something, but most of my stuff is in storage in central Illinois, and I'm in England.
However, if memory serves, it required 19vDC, 2A. Ther…
There are rumours that the Sonnet 7200/4400 G3 upgrade - that actually goes into a PCI slot - has been made to work in other machines. IIRC, someone on the 6400zone forums got it …

Do you know the voltage/can you post a picture of your power cord? I think it would work, but I really don't know if the power cord I have will work with it.
also, is there a pram…
All I know is that often, old clones like that relied on ROMs pulled from donor Macs (ROMs couldn't be purchased individually or legally cloned) in an interesting arrangement: they…
I have a 3000 series with a 68EC030 on an SE ROM, but I think I shorted out the logic board when I tried replacing the failing hard drive years ago (it won't go past the initial ka…
I second phreakout and Bunsen's suggestion to ensure the OS 9 drivers checkbox is ticked. Because Apple would rather pretend that Mac OS 9 never existed, when you format a volume i…
Also, OS 9.1 doesn't recognize OS X volumes natively. You need to make sure that you have a file extension called 'carblib version 1.6' installed. Carblib, short for Carbon Library…

Just a quick question. I've seen it mentioned that 8.6 and up supports flash drives. But I can't get a fresh 8.6 install on my B&W G3 to read one (while it works fine in 9.…
I did some research and it seems your Farallon Etherwave has some sort of support for TCP/IP.

I think a lot of Passport software used dastardly copy protection... I tried to crack - er liberate - a few but had no luck. Don't think I have TurboTrax hidden anywhere though
Was checking 8bit sound and fury and alas even they don't have the Passport TurboTrax software I need for my lovely Wenger (Passport) Soundchaser system. I have the ever annoying …
