I am running into issues using Rage 128 AGP ADC cards with my 20" ADC Studio Display LCD. At first, I thought it was the Cube´s VRM or power supply, because after a few seconds with the Mac Boot screen, the LCD goes black - even though it still shows the activity light and I can shut down/sleep...

I recently pretty beefed up my beige G3 MT - 768mb/ram - Radeon 7000 - 32mb - USB Card - Sonnet Encore G4/1000 - Adaptec SATA Card with Kingston SATA SSD Looking at the internals, the Sonnet Encore is huge and cable routing is a bit of a mess. I am running the unit oben on my bench at the...

I just saw a Quadra 700 auction on eBay Germany and the unit contains a SCSI card. But I have not found a lot about. It has a DB50 external connector and no internal connector at all. That would hint at a fast-SCSI 10mb/sec interface... Does anyone have more infos?

I recently got two acrylic ADC 20“ cinema displays. One is discolored but more or less ok - albeit dim. The other one still works but shows the short-short-long error code (backlight issue). Changing the backlight was described here...

I went out to grab an old Mac Iix from a garage sale last weekend and when I opened it, it was full of surprises.... dusty but with no visible issues except of the rusted shielding on the bottom of the case (have to examine closer) a nice amount of 20mb Ram huge old style Network card with AUI...

I just received some old Macs with rather unknown cards (to me at least). One is a Modam Mac II Interface - a 12" Nubus graphics card with DB9 video port. It has 4 NEC dual port VRam chips 41264-120 64kx4bit. That is the same IC used on the Apple High Resolution Display Video card. I have once...

Just optained a nice Q650 with a Toby and Radius TPD II Card. I have not found any specific info about the card. I guess, it is a 1-bit card and runs at 1152x870 as this is the standard apple two page resolution. however, I can‘t get it to run without a greenish screen. I am using the 2 row 8...

I picked up a fully loaded IIci last week and finally had time to check its internals. Apart from the Apple 32k Cache Card and an Apple AAUI Network Card (no AAUI transceiver) there are two other Nubus cards inside. Miro Prisma 2.1 - Graphics card. I don´t exactly know about resolutions and...

HI, I´ve got a NEC 5 Port USB 2 card donated some time ago and thought, I would give it a try in my 5500. Unfortunately, 9.0.4 includes the drivers, but doesn't seem to recognise the card. Strangely, with the card installed, system profiler shows me three unknown PCI devices. Without the card...

I saved a IIsi from the landfill the other and the unit doesn't look too bad. It was stored in a self storage facility for the last 20 years (at least). This IIsi 5/80 comes with Nubus FPU adapter, a pack of original software (Claris Works in original box), manuals, keyboard, mouse and a 14"...

So, I am now the lucky (we will see) owner of a IIsi 5/80 with Nubus adapter and FPU - including a 14" Apple RGB Color Monitor. Strange thing is, the displays feet almost melted away. They feel like fresh sanitary silicon. The "debris" could be removed with 99% iso and at least one foot melted...

Got an Indigo iMac G3 - 350 from a garage sale for free. The unit looks visually ok but it does not start up or even make a startup chime. If i press the power button, all i can hear is a click from the speakers and that‘s it. I followed the standard procedure and opened the unit up, removed the...
