tl;dr: resolving an IP address conflict can cause Apple IP Gateway to go into some kind of infinite loop and crash. If you must run IP Gateway, keep the IP ranges used for MacIP and normal allocations disjoint; better still, use macipgw. Apparent Symptoms: I rebooted my virtual machine...

It isn't actually a composite device and pretending to be a keyboard too or something is it? Check in System Profiler.

Here's a scan of 030-0687-B which I did tonight. The PDF is big because I tried to scan the photographic pages in perhaps excessive quality. https://archive.org/details/030-0687-b Of course, feel free to re-encode/compress/archive/make available for download/whatever.

I think you're thinking of @croissantking maybe? Or @Hollie. Can't remember who has which.

Oh, interesting. Thankyou for the photos! Does it say why? Were they worried about thermals or something? I wonder if this was actually to have interface swappability or just to save space? All the circuitry for each interface is on the daughterboard (the Ethernet controller is on the...

I think you can interrupt boot and use sash (A/UX Boot I think it's called under 3.0?) to boot the install media single user. That might give you the ability to poke things like what filesystems are mounted; the error you posted initially suggests that something isn't being mounted that ought...

Yes, I think at this point you probably have to reach peace with the fact that that is an ex-flyback. On the bright side, it may have found a new career as an impromptu arc cutter, given the hole in the metal there.../

The main advantage of replacing the innards is that you basically only have to work on the low voltage side, and the likelihood of creating fire or shock risks is much, much lower.

OpenFirmware is just what it sounds like, low level hardware access and boot firmware for a computer. Roughly analogous to a PC's BIOS but much more powerful. There's no magical connection between open firmware and PCI except that Apple started using it when they started using PCI; it's been...

The classic MacOS networking stack is somewhat fragile, and the Dayna driver is also somewhat fragile. Here's how I'd suggest you go about troubleshooting this: Start again with a fresh OS installation. Check that the AppleTalk version supplied with the OS works via LocalTalk. Install the...

If you want to sell it put it on eBay as an auction and see how high the price goes. If you want to get a rough idea, go and look at past sales on eBay yourself. It is regrettable that there are so many threads about prices on here recently, they are both very dull and oddly suffocating; if...

you could try mucking with the relevant sResource in an INIT or similar, if you don't want to hack the declrom

Unlikely you damaged the hard disc, one of two things are more likely: The edge connector between the logic board and the wiring harness is dirty or not seated properly; I had this a couple of times while servicing CCs and it was the connector. The hard disc might just have died through age...

Yeah, the problem turns out to be with those that there's multiple different internal versions, all of which look identical externally, and some are relatively decent and some are crap. If you get one of the decent ones it's - unsurprisingly - decent - but you're taking a gamble. ah yes the...

*twitches in suppressed trauma*

Is this one of the blocks with a molex on the end from say Amazon? if so - be aware that these are of... extremely variable quality, and I worked on one with @joshc that simply would not regulate properly under any kind of load. I'd be very careful with these. There are loads of ways to...

Agree with the above. Once you have cleaned, have a look at (if I'm counting properly), A8. This is an educated guess based on: you have what looks like four lines of good data followed by four lines of default VRAM content, repeat. The framebuffer is 512 pixels wide, at 1bpp, which is 64...

the polyfuses are on the output ports of the USB hub, they're there to protect it from someone trying to draw loads of current the hub can't provide and/or to stop a short circuit catching fire. If building something for your personal use you can probably get away without, I wouldn't recommend...
