Can’t quite tell from the picture but C15 on the AB looks polar, I believe that should be nonpolar.

See here.

I have it a go a while back but I accidentally reversed the SCSI connector pinout (went off a diagram for the male rather than female...) and haven’t had the chance to revise it. IIRC the PCB design linked to in this thread is slightly wrong and will require modifications (Cutting traces and...

I think you might find this thread useful, if you haven’t already seen it. As you speculated, it seems that cutting the CRT is pretty difficult, so forming a mold might be a better route.   It also seems that it would be worth trying to connect your SE/30 graphics card to any LCD panel you...

Sad. Guess I'll take it apart, then move on. Need to find out what that buzzing is coming from...

FWIW if I dd this to a SATA SSD, then connect that to SATA -> IDE adapter, then an IDE -> SCSI adapter, AU/X does at least boot and try to start up. It complains about not being able to check opt, but I figured that was more due to the size of opt. It also eventually reaches a grey screen...

If you have a Linux box you should be able to find a cheap SCSI PCI card and dd this image to a SCSI drive.

Just got this Power Mac 7200/120 for next to nothing. Only upgrade is a two port USB card. Nothing too exciting.  It seems that the SCSI hard drive (Quantum Fireball SE) in this thing is dying. When I turn it on, it starts booting and gets into the Mac OS 8.6 screen very quickly. Unfortunately...

I have an 858D clone hot air gun that I use in conjunction with the iron when I have to deal with a ground plane soaking heat up. If the iron isn’t enough, usually adding the hot air will provide enough heat to clear things out. In my experience, copper wick will just soak up even more heat...

I'm having the same issue with my SE/30. How did you add the lido.img to the premade A/UX image?

See here.    looks like you can borrow from 128/512, Plus, SE, SE/30, and some classics.

I maxed out the vertical width with little effect. If it is the flyback, I likely won’t bother to repair it...  though it does seem like the electron gun is shooting just fine, it’s just not being deflected up and down enough to reach the top and bottom of the tube. In that case, would the...

Well, I replaced every single electrolytic capacitor in the monitor. Annoyingly, the display is still letterboxed, though now it doesn’t get any better over time.  What else could it possibly be? I don’t imagine I’ll put any more time into this monitor, but I’m curious as to what could cause...

Perhaps, but the MacBook keyboard doesn’t emit a pronounced smell of body odor, which is common on these machines due to the adhesive used on the keyboard...

+1 on Netatalk, it’s what I plan to do - this reddit post has a pretty good how-to. Ultimately this means that most any laser printer will work fine, just doublecheck linux support as @cheesestraws said

Just retested using Newertech's Gauge Pro. The additional jumper settings may be correct: 1,1,1,1 gets 600MHz, or 9x the bus speed 1,0,0,1 gets 667MHz, or 10x the bus speed Weird that System Profiler reports a different number, though I've heard it can't be trusted. Either way, pretty...

+1 - I have one of these cards, so I'm also curious. I haven't gotten a chance to test mine. Interestingly enough, the chip for U8 has identifying markings ground off and replaced with an Asante label on mine, while it is not concealed on yours. Looks like it is a PAL chip. I've never seen...

I feared that I would get this response...  Here's what happens with the other 5 settings: Is there any way to tell if the processor speed is being reported correctly? I'm just reading from Apple System Profiler in 9.2.2 right now.  I found some interesting info on this old thread: and...

Just got a Beige G3 Desktop. Someone in the past has installed an OWC G4/550 upgrade, which was a nice surprise Are there any drivers necessary to use this CPU in OS 9/OS X? It seems that the answer is no, but I don't know if there's any functionality that is missing without drivers. I'd...

the two cards with Promise chipsets are likely not bootable, but the Silicon Image SIL3112 card should be bootable (will need a firmware flash).
