    Chop Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card into Airport slot

    Not in the Imac G3, but at some point tried a couple of alternative cards, including the Orinoco Silver and the Cisco Aironet. Both worked without any issue in PowerBooks, some directly detected as original Airport cards, some only when a third party program was present.

    Sad Mac - how to identify which RAM modules are bad

    I agree, probably too many bad chips to generate a correct fault code. You can try the piggybackîng method to narrow down the issue.

    Apple IIe Card: Add Hard Disks, Making Floppy Disks and Much More!

    Hi, yes you can add multiple HDs, using the rear scsi connector. One of the drives can be a Prodos formated drive. At some point, I used DSK2File to write 5,25 floppy disks. https://dwheeler.com/6502/oneelkruns/dsk2file.html Will write an image file to 5,25 floppy. Never done to a 3,5 one...

    Apple II monitor repair

    Last week, I collected an Apple Il monitor for a fair price (was advised for parts or repair and untested, but in good condition) After cleaning the casing (which was great) I tested it only to discover that it was suffering from a complete vertical collapse. remember the untested notification...

    128k upgraded to 1mb

    I agree with Tobias, in my opinion, a lot of work should have been done on this board already, so reverting back to 512k will be a pain by itself. Maybe finding a 128k board is the best option. Have you got the 400k drive or the new 800k ?

    400k Floppy Drive Head Shaking

    Sounds like the worm screw is not driving properly the head. The shaft on the side of the head can be stuck too.

    Hi, yes probably a 128k with new ram chips (Poorly done unfortunately) and Plus Roms. You should have the rear Macintosh badge or the late Macintosh 128k one.

    Mac Classic -- horizontal bars after recap, -12V problem

    HI, low voltages or High voltages can be a sign of a bad optoisolator, so i will replace it first with the two diodes that are in the neighborhood DP3 and DP4 (1N4148) Don't have the reference right now but probably CNY17G Keep in mind that the 12 volts line is important but the 5 volts is the...

    Macintosh 128k with mods by Julian Systems

    The capacitor is a 105 unit so a 0.1 µf and probabaly broken (not intentionaly) better replaced it, not hard at all. Concerning the AB board,, have seen worse (and was working fine) and far better (and not working at all) i will clean the tarnished areas with white vinegar, and touch up the...

    Two new half-life-less PowerBooks (100 and 170) - any help diagnosing?

    Concerning HDD, if you are lucky enough there is chances you can have the cover removed and have them repaired. Conner drives are easy to repair most of the time, there is a trick to get them working again with little work. other brands are mostly only bad due to stuck heads. those drives are...
