Very nice score...faster than the iMac I got recently too And yes, I have to agree with you on the speakers...apart from the BOSE system on the TAM they're probably the best bui…

I'm in love with the speakers in it - they sound amazingly good for a machine like this.

Yes, it has ethernet. The letters at the end of the model number tell you what features it has: s for SCSI, c for (I think) colour (as in an external video port) and e for etherne…

I will make new pictures, with more detail of the chips you mention. If I connect the board to the 512, I get a bong and a black screen. No effort is made by the Mac to start from…

That looks pretty slick with the new chicklet keyboard. I gave my 600MHz Snow to my little brother to use, and its still serving him well. I sure do wish it were a 700MHz model t…

I just got what I consider one of the most attractive Macs Apple has ever made - the graphite iMac. Mine's a 600MHz Summer 2001 model, decked out with 512 megs of RAM and a CD burn…

The Znyx ZX345 (aka Apple 10/100 Fast Ethernet Card) should work just fine with that G4, and they can often be found on eBay for <=$10 shipped. (look for an apple-branded o…

I'm interested in hearing the results of your transplant. I have a flaky 12x drive in one of my 1400s that I would like to replace someday. It reads some disks but not others. O…

I'd be interested in a better picture of those chips along the bottom of the board. The only picture I could find showed just the corner of the chips which looked like some kind of…

Thanks! Sounds like that will work then; I will post an update after I've done the swap. These 12x TEAC drives seem to fail a lot, just like the original DVD drives for the Pismo. …

Some photos when you get them?

Interesting... I bought it off the clearance table, so it had no cables. Looking through my stash of parts at home I found a Male-Male VGA cable. I'll try another cable later on…

Not a bad haul at all! Especially with the 'docks. What kind of UltraDock did you get - does it have ethernet? Click to expand... Its the Ultradoc 16sce but I cannot find any…

I had a problem with my monitor not being able to display its full rez on any machine I tried and then I switched out the VGA cable with a better one and it worked fine after that.

More details here I think: http://home.comcast.net/~macdan/ebms.html

Thanks for the compliments! I can help with explaining: TTL = Transistor to Transistor Logic IC= Integrated Circuit = Chip (more or less in a loose translation) = simple form of…

Not too shabby... Considering what you got, I don't think the price was all that bad.

Powerbook Duo 280c with microdock, 2300c with ultradock, and a Newton 120 with accessories. Total cost = $115CDN including shipping Click to expand... Not a bad haul at all! E…

Nice haul. I agree with shipping problems, which is why I only really buy from Canadian sellers now.

Hi Osgeld, Nope, the images are still here: http://img638.imageshack.us/g/img8261r.jpg/ I thought a few days ago: let's ask my dummie-question at the liberation forum, they will …

It has been quite a while since i found anything worth buying on ebay. Usually it is broken or overpriced before shipping. I found a relatively local seller who was selling a bun…

dunno, the images are gone, but when I looked there was a ton of 74x logic series chips, which can be configured for anything and for the time its quality isnt that much better th…

Has anyone done any analysis of the individual ICs as yet? I haven't had a chance to check out the new pics on a big monitor. I had a NewLife Accelerator for the Compacts (in a 51…

whether NTSC or PAL would use more or less circuitry, or about the same? Click to expand... About the same. In either case, or the case of driving a CGA monitor, the scan rate …

For those who wonder when Motorola started producing 68LC040 processors without the errata that caused problems with software FPU emulation, here is the actual PCN right from Frees…
