    ROM on IIci

    It's a multisync 14" which was sold with Performa 6200 (with bi speakers on each side). This monitor works perfectly with other macs.

    ROM on IIci

    Hello, I just got a IIci which is not working (death shime). At the moment the motherboard is drying after a good wash. Here is my problem: There is an empty white slot on the center of the motherboard, labelled "ROM SIMM". Is that rom missing ? Can the IIci work with this slot empty ?

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    I don't think so. Setting up an assembly line must be very expensive, and there is probably no market for such small capacities HD except for us, poor fool guys [:o)] ]'> Moreover, spinning hard disks will probably disappear quickly. Anyway the idea of Flash HD in a Mac LC makes me...

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    Well, it sounds like a good idea, but will the machines boot on such a non Apple device ? In fact a few adapters would be enough as I don't need to start a bunch of Mac at once.

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    You're right. All dying hard drives are Quantum ProDrive ELS. Conner and IBM are still working. Conclusion: Don't buy Quantum drives, they are not reliables :-))

    LC just died

    I can assure you that I started my 6 LC 475 yesterday to (check their hard drives), without batteries using the PRAM keystroke. When I need battery I just sold two standard "AAA" batteries together, then to the motherboard. It's not pretty to look at but it works. I do that only for the...

    Motherboard washing !

    Just in case you don't know this tip about old hardware: If you have an old Mac that just do not boot (even without shime), look carefully at the motherboard, you will probably see some kind of grease leak around the chips. As you have nothing to loose, get the motherboard out of the chassis...

    Performa 5400 board in LC 630

    Hello, Here is my powermacs motherboard/chassis experience: 5500 <==> 5400 OK 5300 <==> 5200 OK 5200/5300 <==> 5400/5500 Fits but doesn't work (note: theses experiences did not damage any hardware) LC630 is a 68K mac, I don't think putting a 5400 motherboard in it will work.

    LC just died

    Hello, You can start your LC without battery. In this case you just need to reset the PRAM on every cold start, using the 'classic' Alt+Command+P+R Keystroke Yes, I know 8-)
