    Performa LC 475 oddity? Pre-production? Demo?

    Depends on the Performa. I can't remember offhand seeing a Performa 475 in-line, but for the earlier Performas the in-line arrangement is the only one I've seen.

    Quadra 700 W/ Brown Motherboard

    Green logic boards turn brown when exposed to UV too. I left my 6500 board out in the sun after giving it a full-on soak to dry. It went out green, came back brown where the light hit it (everywhere except the shade under a sticker)

    840AV and 660AV: are the ROMs identical?

    Those are exactly the numbers on my 660AV ROMs.  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5334905/660av_ROM.jpg

    More ram adds to boot-up time - why? - IIci

    That's normal going by my experience. Around 128MB in my old Q950 took 60-90 seconds on a cold boot for the RAM check. Subsequent warm-boots bypassed the check though, and booted far more quickly.

    Yellow Be gone!

    40vol stuff is awesome. I've tested a couple of kinds out in the sun vs indoors - it does nothing indoors, but does too-fast work outside in sun UV. I'll add the same disclaimer for any drive-by readers that I make about Australian sun and retrobrite here too - 40vol, here, in country australian...

    Color Classic - now with a purple screen

    I had the same symptoms with my CC - and it was a dry joint on the analog board. The underside of the board where the shielded video amps sit had a dry joint. If you look on http://s14.postimg.org/6khbmega9/CC_Analog_Checklist.jpg there are two parts to the shielded section near the bottom of...

    What is the oldest Mac/browser combo that you would browse the web and download old software with?

    I'd use near anything. Oftentimes, depending what's on the machines to start with, all I'll have is a default install of something ridiculously lightweight (Netscape 2 on an 020 anyone?) and hook it up to the Pro with a webserver running and serving my old mac archives as an apache-only folder...

    What is this sorcery!!! (HUGE Dove RAM chips)

    I have no words... these things put my Genesis' RAM cards to shame for sheer huge quirkiness ( see https://www.flickr.com/photos/71473458@N00/ )

    Colour Classic brought back from the dead.

    Ta! The flickering green was a cracked pad-trace point on the video amplifier. I tested continuity over traces that should be connected, and while the traces were fine the solder blobs didn't contact. I added a wire to manually connect the pins and all was well...

    Daynaport installer driver needed

    I've repackaged the .sea here as a .sit - may bring you more luck. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5334905/DaynaPORT%20Installer.sit

    Needed: Lapis ColorServer PDS/30 software

    Just a nod to Steve for using my PB100's photo in the iPad keynote. I'm still kinda chuffed at that. A feetsless one, I might add - both were broken off quite a while before I got the machine.

    Needed: Lapis ColorServer PDS/30 software

    Ace! I downloaded that same file years ago and extracted it - that's the same contents. Although I just tried downloading it again - looks like the .sea doesn't run as-is (having lost its resource fork) but it does work by dropping it on top of a Stuffit Expander running in sheepshaver. Either...

    Colour Classic brought back from the dead.

    This was an interesting one. When it arrived years back, it had a slight issue with a flickering image that'd drop the green out from time to time. I stored it after moving house, and earlier this year brought it out to play with. Dead as a doornail. Boo. After a few days of gentle watching...

    Mac IIsi a fire hazard??

    Sometimes it can be the tiniest visible break in a component that releases a massive flash of light, sparks, a stench that fills the room and enough noise to skip a few heartbeats. This was one of those - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:No_blue_smoke.jpg I had similar happen inside a Quadra...

    Amiga 600 - $2

    Ahhhhhh! My HD cable arrived from Amigakit in cardiff, plugged in and the HD just did a vrrrp vrrrp vrrrrp.... pause... vrrp vrrp vrrp... pause as it tried to start-up. I took it out, held it in my hand and spun it along its rotation plane and smacked it into my other hand a few times, then...

    Amiga 600 - $2

    A coffee spill that nuked the serial port, then the rest of the machine not long after.
