Wow, DAVE is a program I havent seen or heard of in a loooooooooong time, not since I was messing around with PIII's and beige Powermacs in the 2000's.

I have successfully run 128Mb DIMMs in my PM9600 for years, and also successfully used them in the 7300/7500/7600 machines and I beleive they worked in my PM5500 also. that covers most of the major board architectures that use 5V 168 pin DIMM's.

Much as I love G5's, I must concede that the PCI-X dual-processor machines are one of the biggest pile of junk paperweight boat anchors Apple ever made... I parted my flakey dual-2.0 out some time ago as I frankly could not even be bothered with a reflow on what is just an all out badly...

Nah Australias not too dangerous... hang on, is that a white-tail spider? Shit. Halp.

I find the 580 display cringeworthy in all honesty, however I had a 575 for some time, as well as the Diamondtron CRT Studio display and the beautiful Pismo LCD to compare with... Basically all the best monitors apple ever had, so I guess really any cheap 14" CRT is going to be hard to swallow...

I'm interested in the outcome of this, as I have a squealing pizzabox or two myself.

Nice! :D I'm currently using the day and my convalescant state (severe groin muscle strain :-/ ) as an excuse to resurrect at least some of my stack of pizzabox Macs :)

I still used my SE Superdrive for word processing until about 10 years ago as it was nice typing on a crisp monochrome CRT with a small screen diameter that allows you to  keep a constant line of sight and minimise eye fatigue to an extent. Tbh, if I had space to set one up permanantly, without...

Those killer cords have made my goddamn morning! :D

I have nothing useful to contribute to this thread at this point, however it interests me sufficiently to follow it. :)

I intend on doing this with my 750AV... they were usually a paperweight after a few years, and mine is no exception. I have no intent to fix whatever is stopping it powering up... simply going to install an LCD and throw the rest of the old internals in the garbo so I have a nice, superficially...

Oh dear...

Holy crap on a cracker.... This makes me a little uncomfortable, and makes me far happier to just replace electrolytics every 10 years. Also I am curious as to what this error is at C22 on certain LCIII's.

I thought one or two did exist back in the days of the early 601 machines... would have been fairly easy to implement givn they were architecturally rather similar.  That said, in the presence of factory boards that slot straight in, I assume the market would have been  limited.

THis thread gave me a headache by the time i got to the bottom... But yes, I am going to say your machine likely has either a PPC upgrade or has a 6200 logic board in it. I will award points for style and commitment for the MSPaint replica of an error window.

Hands down, I must choose the SE, specifically the FDHD amd SuperDrive models as they are realistically the most useful, having an internal hard drive and ROM support for the HD FDD out of the box. I choose the SE by virtue of reliability and good engineering alone... in most other respects they...

Can't complain for that price. :) My 2.0DP PCIX was relegated to a dank corner as a parts hack a long time ago after the U3 and possibly also a CPU went bad... I replaced it with a DC 2.0 PCIE and never looked back. All I can really say is, good luck with that machine... you will need it!

More of a Mercedes-Benz guy myself, but one of those certainly would compliment my G5 nicely!

I suddenly just got to feeling really old with talks of abandoned landline services and modems possibly not working... Hell, it seems like not that long ago I was still looking up pr0n0graphic images as a teenager in my bedroom at 2am with the volume turned down on my 33.6k external modem so as...

I actually love this thread so much, I could just play billiards in the rain in my underpants! :D
