    Using 128mb SIMM in Color Classic with LC550 board & Sonnet Presto

    So I got another 128mb SIMM off eBay... Thought maybe Sonnet would've enabled usage of a large capacity SIMM on the Presto '040 PDS accelerator card.... Mac OS crashed while loading and I got this message on the screen, redrawing itself over and over: Bluets and Granola Bars ?!?! If I put...

    128mb 72-pin SIMMs for a 6100, 8100 etc...

    Finally noticed 128mb SIMMs being sold (at a reasonable price) on eBay... The first one I bought worked in my LC475 and Quadra 630. Strangely enough, the SIMM doesn't work on the DOS PDS card for the LC 640 I have (it works on the Mac motherboard OK). The PC card has a black screen on...

    Mac IIfx - Time stands still

    I pulled out my old IIfx to turn it on for the first time in a year or two. Didn't power up. Figured one or both of the batteries went bad. Opened it up and sure enough one of the batteries was at minus (!) 0.15 volts. Replaced it with newer battery (3.6 volts). Fortunately the dead battery...

    Mac II: it's ALIVE!

    I have a Macintosh II down in the basement that I had not touched for at least 3 years. I don't even remember where I got it or when... I figured it had a IIfx board replacement in it and that's why I kept it, but no... took a quick peek and there's a Mac II board in there. The basement is...
