I don't see that as a problem, in the old days it was: RTFM! Here, it's: RTFThread! If there are two or three snippets you really NEED to add to your post for context, go ahead, y…

They've been added. I've cut down the list shown on the posting page a little bit (to tidy things up), so those (and a few of the older ones) can be added by clicking the "View mor…

The thing is, though, that if nested quotes is the issue, how is someone supposed to easily follow the flow of the conversation? If I quote a message that replies to a prior messag…

I want all these new smilies added to the official list. :approve:

sounds like the fan, so yea try blowing it out, and worst case you can replace the fan fairly easily

Today, my Mystic G4's power supply started making an out-of-the-ordinary noise instead of the typical. With the unusual noise, the case slightly vibrates as well. I could tell it w…

:lc: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newton Serial Adaptor board http://newtonsales.com/pcb.htm

You will need the Newton Interconnect Dongle whatever cable you use (though there were very rare ones, I seem to recall, that had the dongle built-in). I do, however, have the cabl…

I've seen stock 512k boards for as low as $50 so for all the work of socketing the chips on a 128k board plus the cost of the sockets and new chips it's better just to buy the whol…

I've ignored the war room discussion about this issue, so I was just as surprised as anyone else. That being said, I didn't have any problem at all quoting something for context in…

and a lot more work! I would definitely put a socket in for any chip I removed, but it's a big job to do it unnecessarily for all of them, and might cause more problems than it's …

Most EDO will work, but it's not used on any of the x500 or x600 motherboards from Apple. The reason that the speed matters is that there were plenty of models which drove the mem…

You might as well remove all the chips and put in some good sockets. You can then choose between having 128k of memory with 64k x 1 chips or 512k with 256k x 1. It was a common upg…

Quadra 605 with an APD perched on top would be my suggestion! [] ]'> Great stuff, comrade! [] ]'>

:-D :lol: Once upon a time, I was a decent icon-artist. I may not be able to do much art, but 32 pixels by 32 pixels was my 'sweet spot'. I have a massive appreciation for t…

JDW, isn't it interesting what goes around comes around? Everything was bigger, better, faster, then as technology allowed desktop power to be miniaturized for a price, it became a…

As for finding replacement chips, it's hard to say. There might be a chip usable for this on http://www.arcadecomponents.com/memory.html, but I don't know enough to say much on tha…

That sounds like a safe bet according to my book (MacWEEK Upgrading and repairing your mac). The tables are a little hard to decipher, but i'm guessing it's a class code 4 (Memory …

The error code theoretically tells you exactly which chips to replace. I don't have the codes handy at the moment but they can be found almost anywhere on the net. I've checked out…

Good point Bunsen. There was some software that allowed one to use both serial ports. This is exactly why the PowerBook 100 had a modem port replacement serial port, as many musici…

This site seems to be selling a new battery with a case and contacts compatible with the Macintosh Portable. Click to expand... Upon further investigation, that company wants y…

Thanks for the reply. The information I can find says that the 8600/9600 can use either EDO or FPM, but the Kansas MB's needed 60NS sticks. Of the two 8600's here, the 8600/200 h…

So I replaced the power board in my 128k and I am now getting Sad Mac 040002 at bootup. From what I can gather there is some bad memory on the motherboard that causes this. Does an…
