Hey all! This is my first post since 2018. Always been a Mac enthusiast but turned into a lurker when needed for about 6 years. My trusty PowerMac 7300 which works great, needs a few improvments. I want to add a fan in the PCI card area so I can mount it on my DOS card (the Pentium 166 version...
I acquired another 1400c, since my previous one I had purchased was DOA (now a parts machine). The one I picked up this week (for practically nothing) had a bad hard drive and was extremely dirty but otherwise powered on. Swapped in my spare 1400 hdd and it booted right up into OS 8. The...
Hi all.. My Quadra 700 always had an issue with the onboard video. You can see what looks like moving horizontal lines when viewing either a gray background or if you look carefully, the edges of certain elements on the screen (windows, icons and text if its larger). It's not my LCD monitor...

So.. I've been building up the 'ultimate' IIci, and i'm almost there. My selection of SCSI HDD's is limited these days, and all I have left is larger drives (9gb or more) besides the 500mb Apple drive I currently have in the system (which is very noisy and slow). I have a 9gb drive in an...
What started as a find in what was a vintage computer shop here in the Twin Cities, turned into a new project for me! After lots of prodding, I got both machines to boot off their Widget drives and load what was on them (turns out they are both XL's w/ video mod, 800k drives, scsi card and 1mb...
