    Thanks for the info, then I will probably just install the German floppy 7.1 installer and the video software separately on my 840av.

    Install Me First CD for Quadra 660AV

    Thank you for the dump but I can't convert the file to iso, hdiutil keeps saying attach of disk image failed: 112 Could you redump the disc on a proper burning utility like ImgBurn? https://www.imgburn.com/ As bin/cue would be best. Thanks.

    -12V short to GND on my Quadra 840AV logic board

    So I have some update to this issue. I could aquire another dead 840av, I have measured its 5V to GND and this time it was again 16Ohm. Therefore I came to the conclusion, that the problem is NOT a short, despite my multimeter is beeping. On my first board then I resoldered all 5v rail tantalum...

    I have washed the board through the dishwasher, removed all shorted/5V rail black and yellow tantalum caps. The short is still there. Between GND and 5V the multimeter shows between 16-17 and it beeps, I think the value is in mOhm? Should I start to remove those tiny ceramic caps too? They also...

    -12V short to GND on my Quadra 840AV logic board

    I have read the pinout in reverse, not the -12V is short to GND, it is the 5V rail. The board is in the dishwasher now without soap. Should I put the board completely in isopropal 99% before drying?

    I need some help regarding my Quadra 840AV. I have got this Macintosh stock. The behavior was at power on: Very dim Power LED, black screen and only FANs were spinning. 2 days later I have powered it on again and the power LED wasn't powering on any more but FANs were spinning. After longer...
