    New LC owner questions: display, PSU

    and one more tip, frequent your local thrift stores, there are bound to be tons of displays capable of VGA that people are donating there, that's how I got the LCD monitor for mine

    New LC owner questions: display, PSU

    there are VGA to HDMI adapters on Amazon, and recapping the power supply is doable, make sure to discharge all the capacitors before attempting to recap the power supply, you don't want to get zapped by charged AC capacitors while you're soldering (which can be between 170V and 340V depending on...

    LC III & LC 520/550 PDS slot compatibility

    I actually overclocked mine to 33MHz. I wonder if an overclocked LC III runs a bit slower than one that's stock 33MHz

    Software detection of emulator

    sheepshaver's probably similar, try using TattleTech to confirm that. as for MiniVMac, you'd have to figure out if a certain extension is running

    No video on Power Macintosh 5500 / 27

    Help! Type 11 errors after adding FPU to LC III

    Help! Type 11 errors after adding FPU to LC III

    Working internet! Upgrade OPT to 1.3 and install Farallon drivers or leave alone?

    I don't think you need drivers as long as it works fine. iCab is the most up-to-date browser you can get for System 7 and 68k macs running OS 8

    What is this upgrade card? (Pic)

    As an LC III user, can confirm. I don't think there was anything else for LC PDS slots than ethernet and the iie card
