A IIsi resto is my current project, and it's up and running happily - I recapped its PSU last weekend, which went a lot quicker than expected (I haven't done many recaps, and it was a horrid mess beforehand). It was all through-hole except for the daughterboard SMD caps, which were just a little...

This should help with the how to open, pointing to the latch Cory is referring to, also the 'foot' which is just a thin black plastic piece that slips into a supporting position when opened fully, but needs to be manually released or it'll just snap when you try to fold the drive bay parts down!

Going back a long long way, but there were posts in the early 2000s of 060 to 040 adaptors working in only one model. One of the last 68ks, the LC/Quadra/Performa 630 series which was supposed to fire up OK with an 060, at least to the point of booting.

fwiw, OT1.3 brings similar improvements to at least as far back as 7.1, too.

It's not the same card, but it gives me REALLY strong avid vibes, like this one that came with my Q950. https://www.applefritter.com/node/2157 Edit: actually the main part of the card DOES look the same, but with a different end on it. All the visible components in the same spot.

This is excellent and I approve.

giving the clutch cover a gentle press about an inch or two to the right of the mic hole below the screen can sometimes help. There's a connector right underneath there that can loosen. Been a while, so I forget precisely what the symptom of that one is, but it's a just few seconds to check...

I dunno, that's all changeable anyway  :)  

Missed this one! sorry for the late reply. Ankylosaur is my Synology NAS. It supports connections from System 7 quite happily - that's my custom icon for it.  

uncompressing on Linux will lose the forked status of the files and only recompress part, unfortunately - and that destroys executables. Do you have an OSX machine you can unzip your zip file on instead? that'll preserve forks - I just tested your file and it worked - then transferred the file...

Your photo of the 8200's PSU looks like it could be the photo of my Q840AV's PSU. I turned it on one evening while a friend was visiting, and it was acting a bit wacky. Shut down the 840, and went to bed. In the middle of the night the PSU let out this godawful loud *crack* and stank up the...

It's like I just can't hit the right keys while using it.

Yeah, I mentioned it on IRC only I think, and not too long ago.  The Quadra 605 I did back then had the yellowing come back over a few months to similar yellowing as its feet - I figured it was a failed attempt, an experiment that showed UV worked temporarily but not long term. I pulled the...

A few pics of my latest - a powerbook 500 with Newer Technology PPC603ev at 167MHz, 24MB RAM, Active matrix colour display and 500MB HD (probably soon to be replaced with SSD).

Now it's iMac from 2016, speakers from 1993, keyboard from 1991, desk from 1982 and walls & window from 1860something. It's almost like it all belongs.
