Yes to all the above, I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get to work on it!

I normally would of course, just that there's nearly 30 caps on this board!

That would make sense! If the consensus is that the cpu doesn't look obviously borked, then I'll remove all the old caps and give it another clean and see if it at least doesn't trip the PSU at that point.

I don't see any touching legs, but there are potentially many faults with this logic board, there were clearly mice in there but after I washed it it looked salvagable. I have two boards like I said, this one is actually the cleanest, the other one has a lot of corrosion especially in the simm...

One of two 7100s I just acquired, both in bad shape, one 66Mhz, one 80. I haven't recapped either of them yet, trying to decide which, if either of them, to start with. Behaviour with this one (80MHz board): Plug in power Turns on by itself, PSU fan starts, power led is lit, no chime or...

Thanks for the reply! My test project is a SIOUX project with a couple of basic trig functions using cout to display the results. No to gestalt, just assumed as it's running on a full 040 and the CW documentation said that it should... Yes to the _F_ variants, not when I first posted, but I...

Figured it out, kind of. At least I got a test project to build... First, you have to replace MathLib68K in your project with one built with 68881 enabled, but there is no build target for that so you have to make one first. Then, if using SIUOX console, you also have to replace the MSL C and...

According to the CW documentation, selecting 68881 for floating point should generate fpu instructions on a 68040. There are two codepaths you can follow to compile for fpu, either by using Metrowerks' math.h or by using Apple's fp.h (a comment in math.h says that using fp.h is not recommended...

I need to correct my previous post, it is in fact a 7500 in my cube, not a 7000...

The graphics card in a cube is in a really confined space and does not get good air flow so it gets real toasty, you need to keep that in mind. My cube has a 1.2GHz Encore which actually runs quite cool and quiet with it's little 80mm fan, and I settled on a Radeon 7000 for the graphics card...

I didn't realise until working with mine that the 840av was sold with both tray and caddy loaders, so it would be potentially possible to make one out of two and have the bezels wrong. I'm 99% sure the tray loader will not pass through the opening of the caddy loader bezel... Edit: sorry I...

I haven't got one of these to try, nor ever tried with a Mac, but on several other scalers I've used for other purposes, bridging the single video output across all three inputs results in nice clear white on black...

Same here, even though I bought it second hand on a tight budget and it was pretty old by then, my 7100/66 took me through university - and countless hours for my flatmates and I playing F/A18 Hornet.

I vaguely remember installing MkLinux on a 4400 way back when both of those things were fairly contemporary. It definitely worked as I used it for a little while. The 4400 has the same graphics processor on board as the Mach64, so that would suggest that it's not the video card...

Are any of the Quadra pds slots not on the bottom? Wombat is certainly that way but idk about 900/950? Cable routing is not any easier on the 800 style case, there is no access window at the bottom of the drive cage where it would make sense. So you have to fold and shoehorn the ribbon in...
