    LC III, happy boing, no video output

    Oh, I see. I guess it was a dumb question after all then.

    LC III, happy boing, no video output

    Probably a dumb question but did you remember to install a vram SIMM? Maybe swap out the one from the LC II. I started my performa once without any vram and it chimed and booted but I couldn’t see anything.

    BlueSCSI does not boot Mac SE

    1000ms is not enough.

    System 7 (and OS 8) natively boots on the Mac mini G4!

    This is remarkable, if not down right ingenious. I'll give this a try when I get some time. I only have a 1 GB RAM stick to use in my G4 Mac Mini. Will it accept that much RAM? I'm saving this forum page in case the place goes down again.

    KEYSTRON MK2DS168E-60 16MB 30pin EDO for a Macintosh SE/30

    With a stock ROM only 8 MBs are seen, but I have a genuine Mac IIsi ROM SIMM (rare) in my SE/30 and that will recognize all of it. All 128 MBs are recognized with 32 bit addressing enabled. I also have another Mac SE/30 with a Rominator II that will recognize all with 32 bit addressing enabled...

    How do I write Macintosh CD images to physical CD's?

    I don't think any of those will do what you want but the version of Toast for your Mac may do it. Also, I know that FWB HD Toolkit does block copies of SCSI HDDs but not from an ISO.

    KEYSTRON MK2DS168E-60 16MB 30pin EDO for a Macintosh SE/30

    Send those back and get a refund. You don't want those. Here is what you need for your SE/30. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/#compatibility They definitely work, I have 8 of them.

    SE will only boot when turned on side or upside down

    It might mean you’ll have to either lay down on your side or stand on your head during boot and reboot if you want to watch it boot.

    iMac G3 DV 400 won't power on after taking out the metal shielding around the DVD-drive and HDD

    I have been working on the same model iMac this week with similar issues. First, definitely check the RAM each time you do something inside it because it comes out fairly easy. There is a CUDA button I pressed just once while it was unplugged and the battery was removed. After replacing the same...

    Good size 68k FB Marketplace haul

    Nice haul! Thanks for the rescue. No doubt they would have been recycled if not for you. Did you notice if the Mac II si have a ROM chip in the rom slot or are they using onboard ROM?

    Apple LocalTalk interface box

    LocalTalk defaults to the printer port, so make sure both ends go into the printer port on both Macs. There shouldn't be a need for anything else software related because LocalTalk works right out of the box. Check to make sure none of the pins aren't bent inside the din. If you do have an...
