Hey some of you may remember me putting a Western Digital HD in my quadra 650 a while back.. well now i think it may be busted but it is a strange issue. I booted up the Quadra a few minutes ago, it showed the question mark/no disk icon. Then it suddenly shut off. When the power button was...

I'm running 8.6 on my PPC Quadra 650. My experiences; Using a utility to change the gestalt id of your mac will get it to install, but it will not boot without doing some resedit hacking of the system file.

Yeah 24 volt is right, just said 9 off the top of my head. I know a charger from a lombard will work though.

I believe its 45 watts 9 volts but i am not completely sure, i know a charger from a lombard will work and i think a charger from a pismo will as well.

Well, its still very unstable and unreliable. I bought a 256 mb stick and i will try that out, should be okay.

Well, i have gotten it working for now with vm on, hopefully it will run better. What i did was set the disk cache in memory control panel to Custom setting at 2 mb. Not sure why this helped but it has so far.

Okay, its running with the 128 mb in, seems to be okay. I started up with extensions off, and did a ram test with guage pro, the ram was ok. So i took the daughtercard out and blew out the ram slots and the conncections to the motherboard with a can of compressed air. Then i started it up but it...

Wavelan card in my lombard, works flawlessly in 9.2. Also used it in a powerbook 1400 with 8.1 and 9.1 and it worked great there too.

But i have no problems with only the one module in so i don't think it is an extensions conflict, i think its just when i have them both in and extensions on it has more to load into memory and then it freezes. I'm not sure if they are the same speed, i'll probobly end up buying a stick of 256...

Oh yeah sorry, i missed that part :-/

I can't see how i would have a bad ram stick, if i can use the lombard with either on in without any problems. Its just when they are together that i can't boot.

I got my lombard from ebay today, 333 mhz, 64 mb ram, 9.2.2 This runs os 9 great and thats where its going to stay i think. WamCom is a nice browser too. I have been trying to add a stick of 64 mb to the open ram slot but no matter what i do the two won't play nice. Interestingly it boots with...

Yeah doesn't sound good, i agree that something must have shorted out, how did that screw get in there?

Of course they appreciate the speed of a newer computer. Its like buying a new car to replace your old one, the old one still runs fine and someone else could find a good use for it, but it still could end up in a junkyard. A lot of people don't realize the value of their old items, i mean they...

Do you have the latest firmwire installed on the imac?

Nice score with the indy, but IMHO thats a horribly ugly keyboard.

Yeah you probably need a terminator for one of the connectors on the cd drive. They are wired in parallel but it needs a terminator on the end of the chain, in your case the CD drive.

Try hooking up some external speakers to your mac. Glad to hear you got it working again but it would be a bit of a pain to have to remove your floppy drive every time you want to play a cd.

There should be a cable running inside the mac from the Cd drive to the motherboard, should be very thin but about a centimeter wide, not the scsi cable but this cable plays the audio directly to the sound hardware to avoid tying down the mac when an audio cd is playing. Make sure this is...

Or open resedit and cut out the icon from inside the program (cant remember the exact name of the full sized colour icons) and paste it into the alias's get info window. This is how i do it anyway ::)
