    Newer Optical Drive Compatibility

    SATA DVD+/-RW drives generally work pretty well overall in System 7.6.x - even for burning using Toast. Here's my PTP playing a DVD off a SATA drive (hp GH80-N) There's a number of different ways to get DVD UDF partitions recognized, but the first step i'd recommend is using the Apple CD/DVD...

    Tip: Boards that won't boot no matter what, check the clock crystals (See video)

    Macintosh TV not powering on (MLB issue)

    On many of my 5xx chassis AIO boards, I've had issues with battery goop having corroded the traces on or around the CUDA chip. Resoldering (or replacing this chip using a suitable similar donor mac) usually fixes the problem right away. One of my MacTVs also had a trace corroded through UNDER...

    KVMs

    As far as your scaling using remote kvm- this is kinda a thing that happens in general- an IP KVM is not for day to day use pretty much pure and simple. I definitely used mine with an IP KVM, but OS level mouse acceleration is always at odds with the kvm... I even have issues with this on...

    KVMs

    I have two belkin omniview adapters designed for just this purpose of connecting macs to an off the shelf PC KVM- ps/2 keyboard and mouse and vga monitor to mac adb and 15 pin monitor. I'm interested in letting them go as I've taken my classic Macs out of my rack and no longer use the KVM...

    Macintosh TV questions

    Also, the sony pcb on the tuner card can be replaced with a new pcb if it's easier than recapping, but if you're planning to recap the whole tuner, remember, theres a lot of caps INSIDE the RF cage as well. you'll need to remove the solder locking the shield shit, but then it just pops open...

    Macintosh TV questions

    you know, I've been wondering if it might be worthwhile to create some premade scsi2sd images for systems such as the Macintosh TV and others where floppy install was the preferred restore disc format. I personally used the floppy images to make a restore set for my MacTVs, but would expect...

    Quadra 650 and Houdini II Dos Card

    Thanks! I've got a spare NIB Houdini 2 kit (and no 6100) and since they're not horribly valued, I might as well do something with it!

    [Link inside] Is this an accurate Q950 CD bezel?

    There are two models of official compatible bezel, the caddy load 900/950 bezel and the 9150 tray load bezel- the latter seems to be more desirable (although I have no idea why, caddies are far cooler :)  ) There is also at least one mostly "open" bezel that's basically just a frame- I don't...

    RaSCSI Development Thread

    I'm pretty sure that in theory, probably just about anything you wanted- the problem here is that you'd need to develop a Mac OS driver for each feature (and in some cases, develop an entire stack to support features that had no equivalent, i.e. USB, on classic Mac) Also to clarify, K55 who...

    Blackbird. Stealth. F-16. Wicked Fast - the Macintosh IIfx/40 DP AV

    Thanks for the reply- is there any chance you can get me some scans of the SCSI Stage II booster card's front and back in as high res as you can? I for some absolutely crazy reason sold the scsi I and II boosters I had to another member here, and I'm regretting it.. I have a DSP booster card...

    Powermac 9600 G3 problems

    What kind of errors do you get? Do you get a boot chime when it fails to power up? If so, how far does it get into the boot? How much RAM are you using, and have you tried installing only the minimum possible, using the fastest (based on refresh rate) dimes you have? More details would...

    M1212 RGB display colors...rotated?

    This looks like one of two symptoms: 1) hue adjustment's been fiddled with (adjusting the hue on monitors will usually cycle the colors like that) 2) the RGB signal connections to the monitor may be in the wrong order if it's been serviced before. also the M1212 should be the "Macintosh Color...
