local woman buys a $20 macbook pro early 2008 at a yard sale complete in box (and in good condition but the battery is absolutely shot) only to spend another $120 on a motherboard with a revised GPU from aliexpress
Coming soon part 2 - a better organized place for all this repair documentation I've been gathering.
I'm shuffling some things around - don't worry, all previous links will be redirected to their new locations.
I don't know why, but I remember Basilisk as being cludgy and crash-prone. I used the hda images from my ZuluSCSI in my 475 and it runs quick and completely error-free. The Daystar QuadControl control panel doesn't even crash it (it does it on the web-based InfiniteMac emulator).
New hardware project: an adapter to connect an HP logic analyzer directly to the PDS slot of an SE/30. Mostly just built it out of curiosity, but it could be a powerful tool for troubleshooting faulty machines or developing new hardware. Expect a writeup soon
i know this could be a very divisive subject among a lot of vintage laptop enthusiasts as it takes away a good amount of the charm from a vintage laptop, but what do yall think of the idea of modern LCD replacements for vintage laptops, especially those whose screens have deteriorated or are just broken?
got a powermac 6400 off of ebay, can't wait for it to arrive. also getting a radeon 7000 to flash to a mac ROM and will transfer my g3 upgrade from my 6360 over. its gonna be a killer system 7 machine
i have a couple of pre-balled 1GHz 7455A chips and i'm thinking i want to get a 2002 eMac and a spare board, and swap one in. also i have a couple of dead G4 cards and the 2002 eMacs and iMac G4s have provisions for L3 cache. pretty sure you can tell what this girl is thinking about doing
has anyone tried to upgrade the L2 cache or the CPU on a sonnet crescendo L2 card? i have an old G4 7400 card sitting around, plus a crazy idea... but i guess i would only just be able to get 1MB of L2 from 512KB given my equipments capabilities...
