I don't mean to unnecessarily steer this discussion back on topic, but it's worth noting that most decent surge protectors have a ground indicator built-in... might be a worthwhile…

No problem. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

But imagine if instead of computers going to landfills because people got fed up with viruses and trojans it was actually not painful to reinstall Windows - how different would thi…

I'm going to combine parts from my single and the new dual and get the dual working as my main desktop. Oh, I also picked up an Airport card for $12.50, so that's going in, too.

I don't know about the car bit. When is the last time you seen a car rust out, blow up at under 100K miles, burn oil, need new exhaust, etc? Cars last a long time these days. They …

Couldn't be worse then 1970's homes with oxidizing aluminum wire that causes hot spots and fires.

8.6 and 9 are almost identical. I recommend using 8.6 if it's less crashy. It can do almost anything 9 can do.

Did you try the G4 Yet?

What a score! Lucky! Where are you getting these things?!

Weirdness - on the PC using the built-in drivers for the 9600 it showed the resolution correctly. After installing the latest ATI drivers it now shows 1360x768. So far I haven't …

Thanks everyone for the informatin provided. Esp. the tip with the differently branded names might prove helpful. Anyways, if anyone feels to part with whatever LC model let me kn…

For those 68k diehards that see this and think that I've sacrificed the authenticity of this logic board by removing the original PROMs and installing newfangled socketed PLCC Flas…

but there was never really a call for a dual-floppy LC since most color software took up more than one 1.4MB disk, especially those that came out right after the LC was released. …

UPDATE I have acquired some PLCC-32 to DIP-32 adapters and installed them in place of the onboard ROMs of this Mac IIci. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next":…
