Apple Ethernet AUI adapter — #3

Funny because I have an official Apple AAUI to 10BaseT transceiver with actual electronics in it that is a fraction of the size. IBM used the AAUI plug too, but called it "Mini AUI…

Quadra 700 & SCSI2SD freezes — #3

Are you using Sherlock to speed up file searches? The older version of Sherlock corrupts the file structure, best to find the extension and remove it.

Mac OS 7.6 on PowerBook 1400cs/166? — #39

It can update, but not all the dialogs will have the updated UK Spellings. You would end up with a Frankenstein system where the dialog windows will come up with either American or…

For those with a 9600 and a SATA PCI card — #2

The issue is not the SSD Drive you have but the interface it is on. That is the biggest limiting factor of the system 95% of the time. Next is the OS, as it has to do the task and …

The NuVista was smoking after the pop. I removed what appeared to be a charred component which is what the screwdriver is pointing at. When I get it out again I will try the sugges…

Quadra 700 & SCSI2SD freezes — #1

I'm having a strange behaviour (just started recently) with freezes on my Quadra 700. The first time it just happened whilst I was using it, and the segment of the hard disk that …

Apple Ethernet AUI adapter — #2

Those tiny storage bins look like normal large storage bins.  The perspective makes it look like that AAUI adapter is the size of a briefcase.

It ain't easy to incorrectly plug the PSU's power cable in unless you are a gorilla, so the possibility that you were pushing volts into somewhere it shouldn't be and blowing up IC…
