I pulled out my power logix cards and I misremembered how the heat sink was mounted. There was a plastic clip that hooked onto the processor and the center of the heat sink was threaded and screwed into that clip. Pictures will help

On mine the heat sinks are just glued on. I won't be home tonight until after 11 but I'll get some pics tonight or tomorrow. The G3s don't get as hot as the 604 and likely owners now aren't doing heavy computing with those machines like many were back then. Still if I had to add a heat sink I...

I have some powerlogix cards so if you want any measurements I can do that. However if I had to make my own heat sink, I'd go bigger than stock

I was given a number of acard adapters a number of years ago. Originally they had ide drives attached to them but I opted to CF adapters. Did use a SATA drive with one for a while but since I couldn't see a speed difference I went to a CF with that one too. I've been using CF & SD cards as...

There's adapters that convert ADB to USB and ones that convert USB to ADB. There's also A-B switches for both ADB and USB so I'd imagine something should be doable.

The clicking noise is generally referred to as chirping. Usually it’ll chirp if there’s no load like being unplugged. It’ll also chirp if there’s too much load. That can be because of a short or that the power supply has become so weak that any load is too much for it. Your IIe might startup if...

I have a number of SCSI to USB adapters. Not sure of the brands. Used one once to connect a SCSI drive to a newer Mac. A lot of stores thought they would be big sellers and bought a number of them. That didn't end up being the case. I got mine when a couple of stores were tossing them. Could...

Good deal. I always liked the 6500. When I had to downsize I mostly got rid of duplicate machines but I kept 2 6500s. Getting a G3 card might be a nice addition.

Ok but I  was meaning the case which would likely be one of these numbers A2M2053, M0131, A9M0106, G7287

What's the model number on the drive case?

A Profile drive let out a huge amount of smoke. Opened it up and in the power supply I found four rifa caps. Three were the same size as in Apple II power supplies. The bad one was several times that size. Wondering why so many and about the big one.

9.1 Have a couple of them. Also a Color Classic modified to take a 6500 motherboard

I've mostly used mine with a G3 card. The hard drive is ide so I've been using an ide to Cf adapter. Speeds up booting.

Well, when you have over 100 computers and you're tied up with work or kids 14-16 hours a day, 7 days a week then they don't get a lot of use. However I'm planning on cutting back on work so around Sept or Oct I can start taking an occasional day off. On the plus side there's also the excitement...

Makes me want to crack open up all my Disk IIs when I get back. I have a couple dozen or so. Might find something interesting.

Are you sure it's an Apple Disk II and not a clone? There were a lot of full height clones out there.

Collectorism is threatening again. Shelled out $5 for an Apple II cassette yesterday. I normally only buy items I'll use not items to look at. I rarely play games but to avoid feeling like a collector I guess I'll have to dig out a cassette player and try one of the games.

It's not bus speed as they made a couple of MDD models with 133 mhz bus speed. If it was otherwise hardware compatible then some of the aftermarket suppliers would have made their cpu upgrades for all G4s

The DVD decoder only works with OS 9. With OSX try VLC

I was given a number of them a dozen or so years ago. They work pretty flawlessly with everything I've tried. I've tried them with ide drives, optical drives, CF adapters. Even tried them with a data adapter to connect a SSD and a blu-ray drive. Wish I had more of them.
