Apple Internet Router is very stable and, as I recall, runs on any 68020/30/40 with LocalTalk and Ethernet. Don’t know how stably it would run on a 6100, though, because I think you’d want to be running it on the back of System 7.1. Just because I had nice examples that I wanted a use for, I...

Fat Cursors is your friend. https://www.macintoshrepository.org/25630-fat-cursors#:~:text=What%20is%20Fat%20Cursors%3F,Fat%20Cursors%20v1.

I have a vague recollection that I once transplanted one from a 17” ACD display onto a 20”. Never had occasion to try it on a 23” model.

There’s more than one layer in the screen. I believe that I have some examples of the bottom layer here (NOS). I’ve probably got three or four of them. If it’s one of those you need, send me a note. I didn’t see this auction, but have been keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced 2100 with a...

No idea about the plastics, sorry. In your position I’d persevere, however, as I liked the look of the eMac about a thousand times more than those of the G3 iMac. I couldn’t stand those things back when they came out, and still can’t. For some reason, the eMac does not for me hold the same...

I really don’t get the hate for the G5 within this group. All our old machines have limitations, geez! Looking at the pics, these particular machines were all reliable models, they all run quietly, they look good, they can all run Classic, they can take large RAM complements, they can take sata...

There is an old trick, which may be relevant as your batteries seem to be in pretty good nick. Freeze your batteries overnight. Return to room temperature, recharge, and cycle a few times from full to absolutely empty using Battery Recondition or a similar (NiMH) battery utility of the period...

I’ve been thinking about my comments above, and feel I ought on reflection to say that while I would prefer that the source was closer to home, I still appreciate those zillions of Chinese workers and companies making such stuff. I don’t like their government much, but that’s a separate matter...

As for the boards themselves, the widget pricing anomaly mentioned is surely the equivalent of the “dumping” of all the more obvious products such as phones, steel, ships, shoes, etc. in Western markets so as eventually to dominate said markets. This is pretty much the standard strategy and is...

Perhaps the video card just needs to be re-seated, i.e., re-installed properly. It is possible that some of the pins were misaligned earlier, especially if this is a G5 with an AGP slot (which included USB-related pins).

The 9600/200 was a 604e-based machine more or less the same as the 9500 — only a later iteration, and thus modestly improved over the 9500. I think, for instance, that its cache was expandable, and that you’d be far likelier to get a 233mhz 604e card (rare) running stably in it than you would in...

I am no expert in the PB1xx series, so correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it possible to swap the processor card from, say, a 160 into a 140 and thus get a speed bump?

That is bad luck, especially as — so far as I know — a board swap is the most practical solution in these cases. It’s what I did with mine some years back, as I could not find replacement components. They do seem prone to failure. I would look for a known-working 20” ADC display myself. ADC...

It sounds like the characteristic behaviour I have observed in machines with a failed processor — or an overheating processor. But I am no tech. As someone who has gotten a lot of these going, all the same, I’d have said that a sensible first step would be to extract the processors, remove the...

Can you just extract another screw, toddle along to a suitable hardware store to find a nut to fit it, read the specs, and then do the ordering?

A link would be handy.

I believe that Dana, of this parish (and of vhack fame), used to claim on her old Q605-themed website that turning the fan over with a view to expelling the air made her Q605 run cooler. This mattered in her overclocked, FPU-equipped machines. Anyway, I certainly ran an LC475 that-a-way as a...

Working 2.5” SCSI drives are rare enough for you to be able to trade one to another member in need of one, in return for getting the extracted data back.
