I have the PC version of the Radeon 9800 pro video card purchased as an upgrade for my G4 AGP (Sawtooth). I bought it from eBay as the description said it was the Mac version.
Anyway, I understand it can be flashed to work in the Mac and found instructions at a couple of sites but they are not...
Hello, I scored a 400Mhz sawtooth and don't know too much about this machine. it has OSX 10.2 installed. I have found CPU upgrades that will take it up to 1.6 Ghz, but they cost an arm and a leg. I have maxed out memory but if I can find a CPU upgrade that would be great.
Any recommendations...
I am trying to fix an iMac "Core 2 Duo" for a friend. The hard drive is making the "click of death" but also there is no video displayed on the screen. Not a flicker of any light. I am not sure if replacing the LCD will fix it, or if the problem is on the logic board, but I thought if I...
I can't seem to find any info on this apparent video card labeled "newlife computer corp". Serves me right for pulling the trigger on an auction before trying to find info. Anyway, I am hoping one of you folks have seen it before. See the pics here:
It has a cable...
I just stumbled on this while perusing Apple ][ info at lunch. Has anyone performed this mod?
If so, could you report on your results? Thanks!

Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd roll the dice and take a chance!
Is there a test print function to test it stand-alone? Anyone know where to find...
I recently acquired an Xceed Color 30 card and a gray-scale 30 card with manuals. I scanned the manuals and made PDFs. You can download them here if you are interested:

I finally have a conquest worthy of mentioning! I recently acquired an SE/30. Turns out the battery is all corroded and damaged the motherboard, and the hard drive is dead but I don't care, because.....it has an Xceed color 30 and an Xceed grayscale 30 in it!
Anyone ever recover from a...
Does anyone have a manual for the Shiva etherport II SE card? I am trying to get it working on my SE. The card that the ethernet cable plugs into has a DIP switch with 4 switches. I do not know what they control or what positions they should be in.
I can ping the machine, but I can't connect...
I have a Daystar SE/30 adapter, but it doesn't work. With a powercache card installed, the display goes all wonky. With the adapter installed by itself, all is ok. Close inspection reveals a solder bridge across a couple of the pins. Should it be there? Perhaps one of you folks that has one...

In case any of y'all are interested. The shipping is high though.
Edit: Can someone confirm if this is indeed a socketed CPU? Looks like it is.

Complete with cache daughterboard, wrist strap still sealed in the envelope, unused case badge, quad control software disk, a disk sealed in an envelope (what is it?) and a "temporary" manual (a photocopy of the manual with a note on it to contact them for the real version).

Hiya gang. I scored a free Performa 6400/200 a cpl of weeks ago. It has 256 Meg cache, 2 DIMMs (unknown size at this point), the Avid cinema card. I fired it up at the time I got it, and it started up to OS8.6. I poked around and even got online. It kept locking up at random times.
Tonight...
Anyone know where I can get a nib (or 2) for the stylus of a Wacom UD-0608-A (Artz?) graphics tablet? I have not used one of these before, but recently acquired one. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Hello, Is it ok to test a IIfx ROM SIMM by installing it in a IIsi and making sure it runs? Is it that simple?
I intend on installing it into my SE/30, but was wondering if I can test it in my IIsi first since it's easier to get to. I do not have a IIfx.
Thanks for any info!
