Ok so I have an orange micro card and the fan was unplugged when I got it. The board is nicely labeled 12 and 5v however the wire colors on the fan just don’t seem to match up. Am I missing something? Could it be an unoriginal fan?

I have a battery bombed 950 board and the ram sockets took a hit, anyone have a good source for where to get replacement sockets? They are dual simm sockets not singles.

Anyone have any experience with this drive? So far I've tried the native apple cd extension, and toast. I tried FWB but it asks for a serial code I don't have. Any thoughts? It will boot from a CD no problem but once installed OS won't mount anything from it for nothing.

Ok so I’ve been trying to test some apple branded PowerPC 601 cards in my Quadra 700. So far not much luck with the software. I have tried using this software from the garden https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-power-macintosh-upgrade-card-installer-m2843lla But partway through the install...

Any ideas on how to fix this? When I put this card in my IIci I get the normal chime followed by a funky chime.

Taking inspiration from the other thread like this. Has anyone found any more info on this card here? I can’t seem to find much about it online. Original specs or anything like that would be cool. Markings on the card are: Defi HFS HFVC-24. Works well in my Mac II, but no idea if it's...

I'm trying to get a functional floppy in my Mac II and so far it's not working out very well, I have two 800k drives but neither one of them seems to do anything when I insert a floppy, no motor action of any kind just nothing. I'm not sure since I don't have any way of testing the 800k drives...

I'm not super familiar with these machines so I don't really know but I can't seem to enable the cache in the control panel, I can click it but after reboot it is unclicked, this is in a Mac II with the daystar adapter if that helps at all.

Alright so I have some peripherals an external scsi hd, and an external scsi cd drive. Both of them have cables that adapt them to PowerBook scsi hd-30 or whatever. I’m wanting to get some cables that would let me use the directly with regular I think it’s (DB 25?) desktop mac external scsi...

Picked this machine up and the board has one of the worst cases of what I assume is cap damage that I’ve ever seen. Not sure if this one will be repairable the more I look the worse it gets. At least the battery didn’t leak! Bah! Rather have they then this crap all over the board.

Has anyone had much luck or experience repairing the 50pin scsi cd rom drives? No model in particular but I've a pile of broken ones of various models and I find myself with a shortage of functioning drives, it seems tested drives are going for a decent amount of $$$ so I'd like to save some...

Alright I just picked up a shiny new toy a Floppy EMU device. What's the easiest solution/path for converting stuff from the garden to copy onto the sd card into a reasonable format? apple-power-macintosh-upgrade-card-installer-m2843lla Not sure what the .img format is but EMU doesn't like it.

Alright so this is something I've been wanting for a while, if this exists already somewhere I haven't found it. But I wanted to make a comprehensive source for PCI based mac cards. Ultimately I will make it into a filterable table, and perhaps find a better place to host it besides a Google...

What's the best way to get 10.4.9 these days? I only have 10.4.11 and ran into the CPU director being incompatible issue.

Has anyone seen one of these before? I'm puzzled is it a knob? Is it a button? What the hey is it for?

Alright so I managed to get the back plate off my 5500 without busting it a minor miracle. And since then I’ve been trying to do all the maintenance to give as little reason as possible to need to access it inside again since the odds of not breaking it a second time are slim. Max memory, usb...

Is there any difference between this card and the Apple Card other than branding? They look nearly identical but with some slight differences. Probably the same but just wanted to ask.

Does anyone know where you can get one of these cables? I found some modules I wanted to buy but they don't come with cables, I can hack something together but it would be nice if i could find something that was more legit I'd even settle for any cable or adapter I could buy to cut and splice...

Alright so I'm curious if anyone has attempted this and if so do you have any tips for me. I have a rough 8600, that has several dead memory slots among other issues but it does work. I also have a 9500 motherboard that seems like it would be quite an upgrade, I have checked and fitment wise it...

I have in my collection an Interware G4 PCI upgrade card that I can't seem to find the extension for, the G3 card extensions that I have don't work, card seems to work fine, the machine posts and it shows up correctly in finder and with metronome, I did try it with the Sonnet extension but it...
