The link mrpippy posted worked... only confusing factor was that you had to install from Mac OS X.

I've got a G3 snow (600 MHz 16 VRAM model) I want to put 9.2.2 on. From what I've read online, it's compatible with *only* 9.2.2.... my 9.2.2 CD has a 9.2.1 installer and the 9.2.2 updater, and refuses to install on the iBook (boots just fine tho). Anyone know which CD I should be using here...

You should at least make sure to fire it up and confirm it works as you think it should *before* starting the recap, as then you have a starting point if things go wrong after... Discharging a CRT is not hard... nor should you assume leaving it around for a few years means it has been...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_%28programming_language%29 Logo was the first graphical programming language. Originally written for the PDP-1, the first implementation was released in 1967... Definitely predates whatever LEGO made... There's a good implementation for the Macintosh as well.

I don't think a PSU recap will help here. Both PSUs I have work with my working LC II board, but neither works with my non-working board. Not to mention, it worked before I did a recap. -5 V was very close to -5 V. I haven't measured recently, but that's what I recall from when I did measure...

No different results with the PSU from the working LC II. Still haven't gotten around to poking around with a multimeter yet (connectivity tests, etc.). Maybe I will uncover something...

So, I didn't break it with the dishwasher. I also didn't fix it. Any other suggestions? I'll also poke around with a multimeter and see what I can diagnose.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered a hot air rework station... I've got three more Macs awaiting recapping right now, so I'll hold off on doing them until it comes :)

I experimented a few methods with this one. On my last recap job I slowly lifted and twisted on the caps with tweezers until the legs broke; I lifted one solder pad this way :( . This time, I repeated that method for the first few caps, thought it was too sketchy, then tried a few using two...

If indeed uniserver is selling BOMARC's schematics without permission, and BOMARC is out of business, then we should put together an archive of BOMARC's schematics. This would at least prevent uniserver from making money on things he does not own. I have the Classic II schematics from BOMARC to...

Well, I just finished dishwashing the board. I'm letting it dry for 24+ hours, then I'll give it a shot. Fingers crossed.

My ImageWriter II works fine in CUPS using the iwhi driver in Ghostscript (you need 9.20, 9.21 removed it for some reason....) You could always plug your ImageWriter into a Raspberry Pi or something running CUPS, and add that as a printer on your Windows box. Plus, then you've got the added...

Good idea, I will have to try that when I get back home to it (I'm visiting family for the weekend). Do you have any advice for washing these guys? I've read elsewhere that its safe to just toss in dishwasher, but I would be scared to do that.

Yep, and both the drives I tried boot just fine in my other LC II. bibilit: I checked the power at the HD molex connector last night, and while I don't remember the exact values, they were pretty close to 12 V and 5 V. I also poked around the board checking for connectivity on the capacitors...

Yep, quadruple checked polarity. They're tantalum capacitors, so I think they would pop if I got this wrong as well. PSU is OK, 5 V measures 5.04 and 12 V measures 11.78. I can also use it to boot my other LC II successfully.

So I waited too long to recap (one of) my LC II's. I was using it the other day when the speaker started crackling as I was using it... uh oh. Pulled it off the stack and pulled out the caps. Ordered new ones, they came today and I recapped it. After recapping, the sound is nice and crisp...

Yep.

^ that's actually what I was implying when I mentioned "import the data". Parsing HTML is quite trivial.

It should definitely be spinning, I would suspect the drive motor. Have you already opened it up, cleaned, and relubricated everything?
