@macdrone, yes i too have the 1.0 version of softwindows, its even on floppies and it runs on a 040 according to the box, cant confirm as i havent gotten around to it yet.  But if the box is correct and manuals it is running @ the speed of a 286 and win 3.1 in standard mode only.  As for...

I have a few quadra 950s laying around and recently got a copy of softwindows.  I know the quadra has a 040, and this software requires a ppc 601.  I seem to remember a upgrade card by apple for the pds slot that would upgrade it to a 60mhz i think ppc 601.  There even used to be a place on the...

@ unity, ok i took the board out and counted it, i have the 132 pins or a 13x13 row setup.  I doubled checked and they are soldered through.  One thing though, if this originally is a hmmu setup, then i guess since the other smd cap board is waiting for a recap, couldnt i just take its gold...

just an update havent had too much time to look into the power supply further.  But one thing, i did stumble across a site called atxg4.  He has adapters to use atx ps in g4's. He has the one i need specifically for the mdd.  Also he has another i could use for a g4 i picked up for myself a few...

to uniserver, the board in the top pic is the one i am currently working on, its the working one.  On the other mac II i have the board pictured on the bottom.  One thing though, i think i read somewhere in this thread or site, that the top board not only being the early ones, but had issues and...

well heres an update, i finally got around to trying something on it.  I got out an old dell big crt monitor.  If i remember right it supported up to 1280x1024.  Anyway i hooked up the system to it and bingo got a picture with a flashing floppy disc.  This is on the board that has the smt...

Over the past couple of months i recently got 2 macintosh II's complete, with hds and floppy drives as well as video card.  Of the two one has the tiny silver cylinder looking caps, the ones notorious for leaking.  The second has a newer revision board, i guess, that has the flat rectangular...

I am trying to work on a g4 mdd dual 1.25ghz tower, for someone.  When plugged in no power.  I did take apart the power supply and from what i can tell a ceramic disc capacitor blew.  If I also understand correctly its soldered on top of a diode, the small blk cylinder soldered horizontally. ...

I have question reguards to this. I too have a dp 2.3 g5 powermac. In looking at the picture, for the underside there doesnt look to be a way to maybe mount some type of chipset cooling fan? Kind of like when some pc motherboards had a little fan on the chipset for cooling purposes. Also I...

Thanks for the info. As of now still havent tried the unit out. I wanted to find the appropriate adapter for it 1st as I didnt want to damage it. Finally, in the pic yep, that adapter looks nothing like the brick i have for my 190cs, I'm glad I didnt take a chance eventhough the connector...

i recently picked up a pb 165 complete except for powerbrick for 5.00 @ a local thrift store. I just need to get a compatible powerbrick which ive already researched my pb 190c one wont cut it. Just need to find a cheap but good pwrsupply for it. The system looks in nice shape, has a 160 hd...

@ jruschme, I have the 2 board ast version, the one with the cable connecting 2 cards. This thing is driving me mad, I want it working the q950. I originally tried the iici but due to cap issues had to give up on that. I think I did read a post here or somewhere, where someone did put it in...

no no its not the IIci anymore, i gave up on it for the moment and put that mac286 in a q950. As far as i know the 950 doesnt have those type of caps the iici has, it has those yellow tantalum, i think there called caps. I definitely need a recap on the iici but i want to tackle the 950 1st...

I thought I'd revive my old post about this product. As per my previous postings I finally got around to installing it in a q950 I had laying around. Its the one that has the hd probs, so it has sys 7.1 and i dwl from mac driver museum the ast mac286 drivers, both the 2.x and 3.x ones...

Yeah, thought I would post an update. As for the drive itself I really dont have anything important, as a matter of fact all it had was a fresh install of sys 7.1 and now the hd is refusing to work everytime. In other words whenever I shut dwn the quadra and pwr it up whether it be an hr or...

Success, ok I googled it and yeah after I removed the hd and hit it a few times on all 4 sides w/a screwdriver. Then i put it back in and it started right up spinning and making its normal clicking and bootup into sys 7.1. One thing though now that ive done this since hds are supposed to be...

I recently took out a q950 i hadnt played with in a few yrs. I got the machine 5-6 yrs and then the sys was fine and booted into sys 7.0 or so. Anyway, when i recently took it out to put a set of cards in it, i replaced the pram batt with a new one. I didnt think to boot the sys before the...

Thx for the help guys. But one thing I did originally try the dos card in a quadra/centris 650 i have laying around. The story is my 1st 6100 ppc i was given the board died, but before it did the orig owner had 7.5 installed on it, so i upg that to 8.1 as i have that. But then when i was 1st...

I recently got a performa 6116cd for my collection to replace my dead 6100/66 powermac. The board is dead on the 6100 but i did salvage the dos compatibility card (works tested in a quadra 650 i have laying around), the cache simm (256k), hd, cd, and simms. Anyway, since the performa is a...

thanks for the help. As an update, yep u guys are right it needs something lower that mac os 8, so now i'm trying to figure out how to make sys 7.5.x disks for an install, as the cd rom on the quadra is acting up, or i may even move it to a 950 laying around but i definitely need to make...
