    Possible IIfx SCSI issue?

    Got my Nikon CoolScan III cleaned up today, and turned it on without connecting it to anything. Light blinks slow, motors spin up and down, light goes solid. So I know the scanner works. First I connected it to the IIfx in this order, IIfx > CD ROM (1) > Black IIfx terminator > Scanner (2)...

    SuperMac Thunder 24 GX Add On Drivers

    Anyone have info on getting a GX add on board for the SuperMac Thunder 24 (Not II!) to work? The only drivers I can find are for the Thunder II GX board. My issue is the Photoshop GX control panel crashes with the Thunder II drivers, so was thinking it is wrong?

    Got a second LCD to play nice with my IIfx. Realised I now cannot change the desktop background/pattern, it is stuck to what it was with one monitor.

    I have a NUBUS Raster Ops Photobooster or something like that image accelerator for Photoshop. Got it for cheap on ebay. Guy sent it in bubblewrap... said no problems ever shipping that way (I know....). Bought it untested. Put it in my IIfx, and TattleTech does not detect it. Reseating it...

    Have "About this Macintosh" display model?

    I thought there was something about this, but I can't seem to find it. System 7.1.1 P on my IIfx shows Macintosh IIfx with a picture, but 7.5.3 just says Macintosh with the generic picture. Is there any way to get the IIfx back? Why did Apple switch?

    Floppy Drive Weak or no Eject

    On my IIfx, I rebuilt both floppy drives, lubed and cleaned them, and made sure to install new gears that have the nub at around 11 oclock position. One floppy drive works fine data wise, but it sounds like it struggles to eject, even with the new gear. The other drive seems dead half the time...

    Networking with HyperCard?

    Trying to make a basic stack with HyperCard 2. I was able to find the MacTCP add on, but the computer I am doing this on is running Mac OS 9, so it uses a later networking control panel. There isn't much info out there on this. Does anyone have a networking add on for later Mac OS? (Think...

    Quadra 700 PSU Issue

    I am sending my Q700 PSU off to get recapped. The computer turns on just fine, bongs, green lights, etc. Runs quiet, very quiet fan. But it wont shut off!

    Not one, but two of my four rectangular ADB mice have bad cables. Seem to be a broken wire by the strain relief. Has anyone ever found a suitable replacement that doesn't look hacked?

    Mystery internal cable from IIx

    This cable was found inside my IIx from Littleton Coin Company in NH. There are two nubus card slot holes open, so I would have assumed they would have had a video card and a card for whatever this cable is. Or maybe they just threw it in the case while decommissioning it. No nubus cards came...
