Those solder pads are in all production model LCIIIs, no LCIII that I've seen ever had a switch there, just the solder pads.

Yeah I don't see any telltale signs of proto boards. Looks fine. The only thing might be the Reset label... Just two pads.

IDE drives top out at 750 gigs for no technical reason - the market just went to SATA. Finding bootable SATA cards which just work isn't easy. It'd be a lot better to get a $15 US…

Thats really quite strange, thats definitely an LCIII board, but no LCIII was ever sold with anything less than a 25 Mhz 68030, and yes, thats definitely a 16 Mhz '030, otherwise i…

That's quite something. You've got an amazing machine there. Keep it and guard it with your life. Or sell it quick.

I am a jealous, jealous man right now. Any unwanted goodies among the haul of audio gear?

Here is the picture: last time i checked the MC68030FE16B was a 16mhz clocked processor. Full size: http://0ki.info/uploads/919e9798d5.jpg thumbnail { "lightbox_close":…

I did a youtube video on this machine. best way for me is to get pictures of it. Anyway, yes its an LCIII as it has 1 ram slot, and an FPU socket.

Paralel: I believe that's something to do with the Mac drive heads having higher magnetic coercivity or some such - that is, they exert a stronger force on the low-level magnetic f…

I think IDE drives top out at 750GB. But yes everything should work.

1) I would guess the MDD supports LBA IDE drives, correct? Click to expand... If you can find a PATA drive, the MDD can take it. 2) IDE drives top out at 500GB or so -…

The only problem I've ever really had with that adapter is that on the some machines, you need to position it very correctly or else you are prone to ripping ports off of your boar…

Ok. Next bit: The Colour Classic : { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested cont…

I cleaned the rollers on my last voyage into that thing. Where's the mirror?

Clean the rollers and optical mirror of loose toner or dust, and most likely you need a new toner cart.

I just picked up a decent Dual 867 MDD G4 at goodwill for $75. I figured I can make this into a decent file server. I actually have a copy of Leopard server I might throw on it, b…

Possibilities: 1. God sent you this rarity so that you could sell it for lots of money on eBay (genuinely a one-off) and give the proceeds to the poor. 2. What LCGuy said - it's …

An update: This is the output from the printer: (a followup post with pics of the Colour Classic running will ... well, follow.) As you will see, the printouts are generally gray,…

I corrected on the techtool, thought it was TTP 6, but only 5.07 is out right now.

If the kids were ****ing in the software bin, perhaps you didn't want to find the fifth cd *bites lip* }

From MECC: Super Munchers Museum Madness Broderbund: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego and from Mindscape (PC) Creatures! I miss this game. Gonna have to see if I can load it …

Clean battery contacts. Reset battery management software. Fast and pray.

I have no idea...no LCIII ever shipped with anything less than a 25 Mhz 68030. Are you sure that its actually an LCIII board and not an LCII board? If its an LCIII board, it will h…

Perhaps there's someone out there who can enlighten me about this problem. I have a G3 400MHz Lombard with 10.3.9/9.2.2. It refuses to charge or run on the main battery. It runs…
