    Need help with TAM cooling fan!

    Hello all, I got a second TAM last week off of one of the Facebook groups and, like the one I bought last fall, it also came well-appointed w/ a Sonnet G3/400. After some machine freezes, I took off the Fat Back and saw the frameless in the HD bracket was not on. I've since been working on...

    IIgs RAM Expansion Preventing Boot?

    So in between working on our A/UX imaging project, trying to work through some Q950 issues and (on the side) my new SGI O2... I have a IIgs that I got in trade about six months ago that’s pretty much sat the whole time.  It’s a ROM 01 unit. MicroDrive CF card w/ 512 MB CF ByteBoosters 4...

    PowerBook G3 (Pismo) with Wegener G4 - having issues

    Basically, title. Got a couple of G3s a few months ago. One of them in great shape, 512 MB RAM, PCMCIA 802.11n card (although it only works under OS X) and a rare Wegener Media G4 at 550 MHz. The daughter card looks just like a stock one but apparently the folks over at Wegener grafted on a G4...

    My SE/30: w/ Turbo 040, ROM-inator, Ethernet and 8.1

    Since I am not too shy about asking for help with my myriad Quadra issues, one of the things that has been going great is my SE/30 (edit - until last week!) Here's my setup: SE/30 recapped running System 7.5.3, Mac OS 8.1 and A/UX 3.1.1 (the latter requires me to disable the 040 card) SCSI2SD...

    Quadra 950 (replacement) logic board is dead?

    Hi, Me again - I was the guy having issues with my 950's ADB port/video artifacts and SCSI2SD booting/Sad Mac: Quadra 950 board #1 The issues could be described as: (just in case y'all have any more ideas) ADB is on crack. Text carat blinks super-fast, repeats almost instantly and equally as...

    Q700 ADB or board kaput? Mouse clicks but no movement

    So, my Q700 that was only in my hands for about a month is suddenly having hardware/ADB issues as well as the 950 I've written about here. Background is above. Pardon the crosspost but I wouldn't normally hang out in the Peripherals section so maybe others wouldn't either... and this...

    (Almost) dead Q950 - video artifacts w/ key lock @ ON

    I have a 950 that has been the most stable machine in my arsenal, just sitting there, serving up files from within A/UX. I also maxed out the RAM to 256 MB and threw a NuBus Ethernet card and SuperMac Thunder/24 card in (since I can't get my hands on the usual 950 "hen's teeth"). Well, I had an...

    Anyone else with a NewerTech PowerPump (Q700/900/950)?

    [Link inside] Is this an accurate Q950 CD bezel?

    Asking because there is a Q900 floppy bezel on the same site (Milagro Computer) but it looks more like a Q800/840A floppy... there's no mistaking the 900/950 floppy bezel (nice right angles) The CD bezel, not so sure. It doesn't look the same as the other different ones I've seen (some with...

    Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24x

    Hi, I am troubleshooting issues with a Radius PC 24x that I recently acquired (model #632-0187-03 Rev. B). So basically this card boots up fine but to default resolution and bit depth (B&W) - but the minute I change either of them (even to gray), the entire screen freaks out and I'm left...

    Custom Bootable ROM Images for BMOW SIMM?

    Hi, I have a BMOW Mac ROM-inator II for my SE/30 and love it so much that I have held off putting in a newly-acquired Daystar Turbo 040 because it is known that the 040 has its own ROM and tries to patch portions of the system ROM, which has been moved around by the SIMM so it chimes. So...

    Mac IIci & APS-branded HD - Finder Bombs "Unimplemented Trap"

    Losing my mind, y'all... Got a Iici last week in great shape (though I really wish it had the programmer/reset switches for aesthetics). Included was 20 MB RAM, a Radius PrecisionColor 8xj, and a Quantum Trailblazer ~850 MB SCSI HD. What was interesting about this (in that I'd never seen this...

    Need help hot-rodding my Q950...

    Hey all, I've nearly maxed out the RAM (64 MB or $40 at a time) on the Q950 I acquired a few months ago and had a spare key made just in case I broke the only one off in the lock. I added a SCSI2SD with A/UX 3.1.1, 7.6, 8.1, Apps and Backup partitions. I've added a SuperMac Spectrum/24...
