Thanks all.  I've been working non-stop since Saturday as a HAM radio guy with ARES due to Irma.  Spent all day yesterday in our local Georgia County EOC passing traffic to NWS.  We were very fortunate as Irma passed us by to the west and we had minimal damage and no fatalities.  I'll  have to...

Not sure but they look like grounding clips.

Thanks all!  I *think* my VRAM is 70 NS so it should work.  I have a 128MB RAM stick in it but I do not remember the speed.  I will take it to 33 MHZ first,. I'm considering using a water cooling system. BadGoldEagle, thanks for the link.  I've seen it in the past and will study it further. I...

My Quadra 605 is running at the factory speed of 25 MHz. I did put in a 33MHz 68040 but have never bumped up the speed.  I recently bought a 68040 40MHz cpu and I'm getting ready to bump up the speed. IIRC the 605 doesn't handle 40MHz very well.  What's the fastest I can run it in a Q605 and...

Check the CMOS/PRAM battery.  weak/bad batteries can cause boot issues.

1680 x 1050 was developed by Apple - Cinema Display 20" for video editing.  Slowly it spilled over into the PC world as an inexpensive wide screen monitor.  They are everywhere now.

I have a couple of 1680 x 1050 monitors and I would like to use one with my Quadra 700.  Anyway to do this at 1680 x 1050 resolution?  If not, is there any Quadra that can do this resolution? Thanks!

I've had a lot of trouble with 100/10 Ethernet hubs & Asante adapters.  I used 10 Mb only hubs and all my issues went away.

You can also use a Shiva Netbridge. BAck in the day Shiva was a big player in AppleTalk bridges. I have one factory sealed that will be on the auction site this week.

Did that. On the Mac and on a PC. The drive shows as SCSI 4 and no termination.

Thanks! One of my to do items is to migrate a TON of old Mac Word docs to Office 2003. This will make mucho much easier! Saved me a lot of time.

I'm trying to get my HP SureStore 5000 (SS5K) running with my Quadra 605. It's in an external SCSI box with 4 other devices. 1. Has anyone ever gotten the SureStore 5000 to work with Sys 7.5.5? I have Retrospec software to drive it. 2. When the SS5K is in the SCSI chain my Yamaha CD-r will not...

My Quadra 605 boots System 7.5.5 and 8.1. Went to make a 400k disk and found out while I can *READ* them I can not *CREATE* them (ie format them). I know I can make 400k floppies from an image but I want to make custom 400k disks with various files on them for my 128k Mac. Crap. Thought I...

I do not know but I was active on it back in the day. I'd like to find a copy if it's available.

T15 is correct. HP & Compaq got so much flack from techs about the T15 screws that they changed it to a modified Torx screw that can use a T-15 OR a flatblade screwdriver to remove them. My HP DX2200 mini-towers for one have the modified screws. I used to change then to Phillips head...
