    Trenton haul, part deux

    it's not the motherboard is it? it does chime, and I do get the pretty white light for power. I can also hear the CRT crackle when it powers on. The hard drive also sounds like it is reading alright. If it is a defect, they will fix it for free, right? if so, I need to take a trip to the apple...

    Trenton haul, part deux

    UPDATE: I put the emacs aside, and opened up the 9650. To my surprise, there are 3 hard drives in this thing: a full height (!) drive hooked to the inbuilt SCSI, and 2 identical seagate barracudas, one in a bracket right above the power supply, and one on a black plastic plate on the bottom. I...

    Trenton haul, part deux

    I tried unhooking the video connector and plugging it in again. No dice. The video out is mini vga and I don't happen to have an adapter for it. I am really scared to work around a CRT after all the bad luck I hve had with them. I know the one in the 700mhz works, but I have no idea where to...

    Trenton haul, part deux

    ok, I have been back for a couple hours now. The final haul: 3x emacs. One 700mhz that was booting until I ripped the damn power button, the other two are reportedly 1ghz. one boots but has no video, the other is in pieces. 3x iMac indigos. none have motherboards, optical drives, or bottom...

    Trenton haul, part deux

    yeah, last time I went, I was not expecting much, but to come out of there with a G3 AIO (though it's power supply croaked), and an emate with a bad battery were nice treats. They say there might be more eMates, and I don't have anything faster than a 450mhz G3 mac wise, so if I can get a eMac...

    Trenton haul, part deux

    watch this space, I just got this email in my inbox, and I quote: I am going to swing by later today, or tomorrow and check it out. Wish me luck. Hopefully I won't scrap most of it like I did last time. -digital ;)

    Latitude CPi & a surprise!

    What is it about the CPi and this forum? I had one, gave it to a friend, and the motherboard gave out. Course by the time I gave it to her, the LCD had a vertical line permanently on the screen in red, and the keyboard was missing a couple keys, including the rubber membrane part, so the...

    Rhapsody DR2 on a Workgroup Server 8550/132

    Well, I hate to say it, but this project is on ice. I was trying to add in a second HD (a smaller one dedicated to the OS, the large one would be for the hotline server. However, when I was playing around with the drives, I must have not hooked something right, and the next thing I get is a...

    Rhapsody DR2 on a Workgroup Server 8550/132

    Ok, I popped in one of the 2 cards, and it installed just fine. Oddly, I had a different installer this time around, where the first part is in what appears to be the loading bar, and the second in a next-like window. The first time around reminded me of the x86 version, where it's in a white...

    Rhapsody DR2 on a Workgroup Server 8550/132

    great, I will swap that back in later. I actually have 2 of them in 2 nupower boxes, not sure if they are identical or not, or what the speed is. Who knows, I might have one of the 200mhz beasts.

    Rhapsody DR2 on a Workgroup Server 8550/132

    Hey all. My new pet project is getting my workgrkroup server 8550/132 set up as a server. Not sure what I want it to do yet, probably hook up the color stylewriter 2500 and have it be another printer for all the machines in my house, or as a file server for part of my files. I will figure that...

    Desktop G3 - now with topless photos!

    very nice!! I have a beige G3 tower (the lowest config), and a dead AIO. I harvested the AIO for parts and plan on installing them into the tower, dual booting X,9, and linux, and have it be my bridge (though I have my IIc hooked to my B&W so that is one bridge for my II). The AIo carcass...

    Apple iBook G4

    it's ok man, I understand. I am still stuck back in the G3 age here, and would at least like a late model G4 'book or macbook of some flavor, but finances are zilch right now. -digital ;)

    Apple iBook G4

    actually, I got a second icebook (where I got the logic board from), and had the screen section totally dismantled. I took the metal shield out of it, and am keeping it because it is a perfect stencil for the apple logo, plus it looks really cool. I had hopes of turning that into a wifi mac OS...

    Apple iBook G4

    My icebook was a totally awesome machine. Light and fast, I could take it anywhere. Sadly, the video port died, so the other night, I ripped the motherboard out, and put in another board (also 500mhz, 66mhz bus, and 64mb logicboard ram). It worked, but something was up with the video port, it...

    Pismo! :D

    no, actually, there is a long procedure involving open firmware. When I get home and locate the document, I will post it. The battery reset app only works with the wallstreet, lombard, and early iBooks IIRC, and WILL NOT run on the pismo, though people have tried. The first time I tried the...

    Pismo! :D

    Great, man. I love my pismo, but it's starting to really fall apart this last week (first week of school, just my luck). The battery went from over an hour's charge, down to 5-15 minutes, and now down to nothing, and no amount of battery reset will fix it, which kind of makes it hard to sleep...

    The Apple IIc

    you should get one. I have 2 IIes (A beige 128k and a platinum), and 3x IIgses. The IIGs is a freakin sweet machine. GS/OS is just like system 6. As for the setup, it actually fits better than the old Classic I I had previously. I wanted SOME vintage apple on my desktop to compliment my main...

    The Apple IIc

    Alright, I set it all up, and I got it hooked to my B&W. It runs great with both the Apple II Game Server, and the great ADT Pro app. Now I can image the Apple II programs I have and get more. My next goal is to get this connected as a terminal, so I can route my IRC sessions to it and...
