    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    Wouldn't claim to be cleverer than you, but yes, it's PRAM, and it's opened early enough in boot that things like PRAM auto-restore won't auto-restore it (unless they special-case it which none of the tools I've seen do).

    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    Weird, I'd assume that "stopping OP going down a rabbit hole on totally spurious information" was contributing something worthwhile; I appreciate that in some circles it has become fashionable to make confident statements based on things pulled out of one's backside, but if you don't like being...

    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    This is so wrong that it can't even see 'correct' on a clear day with a telescope. Pre-OT, it'll be in the Network control panel. If there's no Network control panel, then the AppleTalk software isn't installed.

    Is there a way to tell which SE/30's had Maxell batteries?

    To confirm, the mouse pointer is working properly, it's just the button that is not working?

    Is there a way to tell which SE/30's had Maxell batteries?

    Yes; battery wise, you get what you get. I've seen machines in the UK with RS branded batteries, which is unusual to say the least.

    Radius Rocket Compatibility

    I don't have much in the way of hard evidence for you, but there's a huge amount of random beliefs and occasional conspiracy theories about Rocket compatibility on the Internet, and it's best not to believe anything you read or are told unless you or the person telling you has recent definitive...
