Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #35

A Color Classic with a 550 logic board is indeed a thing of beauty (I have one).
I have, however, recently acquired (by sibling proxy and at a distance of a 2 hr drive) a lot of p…

LC Motherboard — #9
I haven't been able to check the lone parts LC that I have; sorry.

LUCKY! :O :O
The Goodwill here has few computer-related things most of the time, but there was one time where I went there, and they had probably 20-30 computers in total. Onl…
iMac :D — #7
I always thought it would be interesting to have a Blue Dalmation or FlowerPower iMac. I have not seen one in person but I would pick it up if I saw it.
On the same topic. I pic…
iMac :D — #6
I always wanted a jewel tone iMac, ruby or sage. But I got a graphite much like that one because when it was time to buy it my other choices were (ew) blue dalmatian and (ick) flow…

I love the speakers in those very much, it's just a shame that at lowest volume, I can't use them at night when I had one of those.
Man, now I want a G3 iMac again....

Mixing FPM and EDO Ram? — #3
Thanks for the info. Two of the sticks I got are 64MB, 5v, FPM, 60ns, as far as I can tell. After installing those two, in A4/B4 slots, the 9600 gets most of the way through the …
A 'few' Ebay Purchases — #10
You'll be delighted with the 2300c, I'm sure. It's quite a capable little machine - or at least, mine would be if it wasn't riddled with issues. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you h…

It is located in the same province and that saves a lot of money in shipping.

Cool - thank you. It's good to have a link like that which people can find easily.

Strange board on Mac 512k — #31
There are close to 40 ICs on that board. An NTSC or PAL conversion board typically has three logic chips. There's a bank of eight pc74hct161p (MOSFETs?) and an unidentified bank of…

Wow, I sure do wish Chiefs-Trading-Post shipped internationally. =(
I could use a NewerTechnology Floppy adapter or two to cannibalize for evil. And by evil, I mean WiFi.
A 'few' Ebay Purchases — #8
I was considering bidding on that 2300c - I could really use a bunch of junk out of it. I'm glad you picked it up, though, if you're going to use it as a system. I hate pulling par…

Mixing FPM and EDO Ram? — #2
For the Ram gurus here, a question. What happens if you mix FPM and EDO Ram in an 8600/9600? Machine gets flakey, won't boot at all, smoke and flames, or?? Also, I just picked u…

I'm afraid not. There is only a VGA connector on the bugger. I did find out that if you set the resolution to be less than the actual resolution it will center the picture. Also…
