    PowerMac 7300 Case Fan Pinout

    Hey all! This is my first post since 2018. Always been a Mac enthusiast but turned into a lurker when needed for about 6 years. My trusty PowerMac 7300 which works great, needs a few improvments. I want to add a fan in the PCI card area so I can mount it on my DOS card (the Pentium 166 version...

    Quadra 700 With Strange Graphics Corruption

    For anyone that was on the edge of their seat waiting for an answer! :) It was just the adapter I was using between the monitor port and vga connector.  It worked fine with other macs, but the 700 didn’t like it.  Swapped with a brand new one I found sitting around and it’s crystal clear.

    PowerBook 1400c With Mysterious CPU

    Mystery solved!  Installing the Sonnet drivers did the trick, it has a Sonnet upgrade card, G3 @ 217mhz.  L1 Cache: 32k inst/32k Data, Secondary Cache: 512k/108mhz according to Metronome.  With the drivers installed, this thing FLIES with OS 8.  Very impressed.

    PowerBook 1400c With Mysterious CPU

    I acquired another 1400c, since my previous one I had purchased was DOA (now a parts machine).  The one I picked up this week (for practically nothing) had a bad hard drive and was extremely dirty but otherwise powered on.  Swapped in my spare 1400 hdd and it booted right up into OS 8.  The...

    Quadra 700 With Strange Graphics Corruption

    Hi all..  My Quadra 700 always had an issue with the onboard video.  You can see what looks like moving horizontal lines when viewing either a gray background or if you look carefully, the edges of certain elements on the screen (windows, icons and text if its larger).  It's not my LCD monitor...

    New Lisa Hardware Coming

    Wow, that's awesome.. if only it wouldn't be well over $2,000 to replace every board in my Lisa, although its working perfectly as/is.  Now they just need to make some NEW Twiggy drives for under $50k.

    Best Hard Drive option for IIgs

    I was just getting ready to list some extra stuff... I have a compact flash/IDE expansion card that I don't use after picking up a floppy/SmartPort emulator.  Comes with a 512mb card loaded with lots of different things, I think I paid $120 for it a while back.  I'd take $50 if you didn't want...

    Does this vram work with Quadra 700?

    Here are the pictures of the VRAM in my Q700, hopefully it helps!

    Does this vram work with Quadra 700?

    I have a Q700 fully loaded with VRAM, I'll take some pictures of whats in there so you can look for the same model of memory.

    My next restore project: PB 540c

    Nice!  I have both a 520 and 520C i'm attempting to restore but running into (what I believe) are failing HDD's.  Since those are 2.5" SCSI drives, options are very limited for replacement so I'm trying to figure out what to do.  They both boot for now, but i'm running into a lot of disk corruption.

    PowerBook 520c with 603e Upgrade Questions

    Interesting.. I'll have to get around to eventually re-installing 8.1 as a universal system to see if that helps.

    PowerBook 520c with 603e Upgrade Questions

    It's so slow, that my other 520 with the factory 68040 is light-years faster. Something isn't right, but I'm not sure what yet.
