Something as seemingly unrelated to what you were doing (video vs optical drive), or as strongly related as ASP and a hardware catalogue, is a good time to suspect a confused persona in the 9500. If you haven't already, do a complete MLB reset: 1) mains and battery power completely removed for...

In the 9500 the CUDA switch, a miniature momentary-action switch with (most often) a red button, is near the daughter-card's slot towards the back of the Mac. In round terms, CUDA (capacitive unit discharge ASIC) is for Old World, and PMU (power management unit) is for New World Macs with the...

Some further information about SP is here and here. de

Without any intention of being censorious, I have to point out that chasing your own research data will be the best support for your decisions. That said, I admit that I have a 9650/G4/800MHz in use. It flies in OS 9.2.2, even given its 50MHz system bus speed. Why did I upgrade it? First...

Let machut be your friend. The software has been uploaded, but the site's webmaster will be your best guide hereafter. de

I was doing that, and now I yam doing that, I yam, I yam, and the upload is proceeding even as we speak, albeit at glacial speed. de

At this very moment in the space-time continuum, Fetch 5.3 accuses your site of inaccessibility. So? Or no? de

I just went through iMac/G3 Install CDs from OS 8.5, 9.0 (two flavours), 9.0.3 (sic) and 9.0.4 without seeing nor hide nor hair of the software that you seek. Then I went to the wallet for iMac OS 8.5. There 'twas, with PageMill 3.0, Good Cooking, Shiny Entertainment and the Apple Restore CD...

What Motorola could supply in the way of 68030/16MHz processors at any given moment throughout the 2-3 years of the SE/30 and IIcx is indeed a plausible reason for Apple to have given itself the ability to switch at will from socketted to soldered-in assembly. I have fewer IIcx socketted MLBs...

Double-sided, ie 32-chip? Yours seem to have been built on the-shortest-distance-between-two-points-is-a-straight-line principle. By the time of the Q950, many and various were the patterns, but the Q950's layout of four banks split into two columns caused some imaginative solutions for 16MB...

Speculations could run rife this long after the event, but some may have germs of truth in them. Recalling the reported difficulty that Apple engineers had in getting some capacities incorporated into MLBs, even to the point of having to resort sometimes to subterfuge (Classic II, perhaps?), it...

Allow me to muddy the waters further. In five SE/30 MLBs, only one of which is in use, I have just found the following: 1) 820-0260-10 dated 1988 on the MLB, socketted for a CPU, soldered-in MC68882FN16A, assembled in Singapore. A white sticker next to the PDS connector shows SG9200TA198A...

All of the PowerCache cards that I have seen use the MC68030RC50B chip, which may well have been the latest revision then available. None of the 030s wears a heatsink. By 2005 there was a revision C. While all things are possible, I have to doubt that Motorola, or Freescale, would go to the...

Truly gorgeous. Now, please-please-please mayhaf the reply button next to the quote button in Subsilver2? And the quick reply box back? And a free beer button? de

A 'strange connector' on a video card in a IIcx or IIci that was used with a Portrait Display (640x870) sounds very much like a (DB-)13W3 connector. This style of connector was common amongst Sun, SG and IBM workstations. There are 13W3M/DB-15F adapter/converter cables so that the (Apple)...

Confirm? Not at this distance. But assert that there is no doubt, no shadow of doubt, no possible doubt whatever (with apology to W.S. Gilbert). For one, as Charlieman noted, the shadow and height-above-board are giveaways. For two, there is the PGA packaging as an even-more-certain giveaway...

I could plead the multiplicity of Macs in my sig. to service (or serve), or blame tomlee59 for not finding and lending to me his round tuit, but the plain fact is ... nuffink. But, if a suitable DayStar PowerCache accelerator were to drop onto my doorstep in the small hours of some morning, and...

According to the Apple Memory Guide January 2001, all desktop Macs numerically before the 4400 (Tanzania) used only FPM RAM, in 30-pin (or 72-pin) SIMMs, as tomlee59 observed. The use of EDO RAM (1k or 2k refresh rate) coincided with use of the 603e processor. All Compact AIOs therefore use...

Well I wot that you wot well what watts are, but the restriction (by Apple) stems, I suspect, from different causes. If one or more cells in the PB's battery short, the current drawn by the battery through the PB's board will rise as far as the adapter will permit, even unto blowing the...
