    Flying Saucer in pieces...

    Yes it does, including operations with encryption enabled, and it is identical in form factor and part number to my other Airport card; it has the cutout end section that allows the antenna connector to be attached and not protrude beyond the PCMCIA outline in the length dimension. I'm mostly...

    Flying Saucer in pieces...

    Some thoughts at http://jlnlabs.online.fr/gfsuav/index.htm http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=672969 I would have to do a test bench experiment to see if the thrust generating flow would come down the sides of the top section of an Airport shell without detaching. Flow director...

    Thanks. Mine is (was) the next model up, the Airport Base Station (Dual Ethernet). Now it is a plastic case waiting for a creative moment... [:)] ]'>

    Flying Saucer in pieces...

    So I went looking for signs of alien life at Weirdstuff Warehouse this morning, and they had an $10 Airport Base Station in pieces. Apparently the alien had already climbed out. Power adapter and fasteners were missing but the antenna plugged into something, and I was willing to bet that the...

    Mac Plus analog board replacement

    If the international version is wired similar to the US version, parts of the line filter BEYOND the fuse but before the switch appear to have incinerated, possibly also charing the epoxy board enough to make it conductive carbon also. W12 is removed, as it should be for 240V mode. A lot of...

    Bent Pins on Apple AAUI Adapter

    Depends on how badly scrunched. Metal withstands only a limited amount of reshaping before it breaks off. Paper clip is too crude, you would need a sewing needle held in a pin vise chuck or embedded in a stick, and a fine pointed curved tip tweezers, another straight tip tweezers and a way to...

    Pismo Help

    There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still ok. I do not doubt you installed it physically, but wonder if it would ever work. The reference I posted earlier...

    Watching a Wallstreet Battery Die

    Easy for experts but unadvisable for safety reasons if you have to ask. The safety requirements are in the datasheets and application notes at the original cell manufacturer's websites and they are all fairy uniform across different Lithium Ion suppliers. The RC folks work with building their...

    Watching a Wallstreet Battery Die

    Aging (increased series resistance) is gradual. Open cells cause a sudden loss proportionately, like a drop to 1/2 or 2/3 capacity of what was expected. Shorted cells can cause those particular sudden onset symptoms. Lithiums can develop high resistance shorts (hundreds to thousands of ohms)...

    500 series hinge fix?

    Unregulated soldering irons can be dialed down using a variac or a speed control box. You will find the temperature needs to be just a bit more than the minimum needed to melt the scrap welding rod material, because the base material acts as a heat sink. Rig a fan to one side at a distance to...

    500 series hinge fix?

    Google search plastic welding how to. Because the case plastic is so thin, a great deal of practice, and some tricks like copper tape temporarily placed on the good side, may be necessary to build up a stronger hinge mounting replacement boss structure without melting thru to the outside. It...

    Flaky IIci

    http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/macIIcisch.GIF is worth a look if you have not already seen it. Before any cap surgery you can measure if +5 continuous is coming from the infamous power supply zener diode Z1 and if the startup circuit depicted on the motherboard is commanding the power...

    Rebuilding Lombard/Pismo PRAM battery

    Cut the minimum number of straps midway needed to do a binary search. Cut where the spot welds allow you to have relatively long liftable stubs. Good cells should accept a brief test charge from a improvised trickle charge, like a 9V battery and a series 4.7 K ohm resistor, whereas a shorted...

    Rebuilding Lombard/Pismo PRAM battery

    So see if one cell is shorted, eliminate it, then reconnect the remainder and try. Also, complete assemblies of unknown quality on eBay are a lot cheaper than new cells.

    How to take a screenshot on a 7.0.1 MacClassic?--SOLVED

    I just downloaded and successfully expanded (I cheated, 10.3.9) from that same link. So the archive itself is ok, see if you can get more modern versions of Stuffit.

    How to take a screenshot on a 7.0.1 MacClassic?--SOLVED

    I don't have a 7.0.1 handy right now to play with, but tell you what I did on 6.0.8. I did a screen shot and then opened up Word 4.0. I inserted the screenshot into a Word document and saved it. Perhaps if you can get Word documents across the great divide you can cut and paste and convert...

    How to take a screenshot on a 7.0.1 MacClassic?--SOLVED

    System 7.x screenshots are created in PICT format (data file type) Mac files(computer system file format). Adding a suffix does nothing for file type conversion. It is still a PICT file in mac file format, and adding any non-pict suffix is useless. If you can get the file over to the PC...
