IN GENERAL, the later small diameter jack pucks for TiBooks/snow iBooks have black plugs, while the earlier large diameter plugs(that work back to the Duo series) have silver plugs. Also, SOME of my small-diameter adapters have the wire going into the end of the jack, while on all the large...

I have a server config minitower(says Macintosh Server G3 on the front) with 3 10K HDDs from the factory. It has one in the normal above the PSU configuration along with two in the bays below the CD-ROM. Interestingly enough, the label actually specifies 4 HDDs. There's no obvious place for the...

I pulled out the backup battery last night. For as long as I've owned it, the system has reset the time every time it was unplugged. The battery has had issues also. It doesn't register in the OS(i.e. 9.1 reports "no battery installed), although interestingly enough it will start up if I have...

The internal plastic is slightly more durable on the MT vs. the desktop. Wheres the choice for the AIO? :)

Thanks. I actually have it apart now and the PRAM is unplugged with no signs of rupture. In any case, I do have a small update. I'd forgotten about a USB card installed. I popped that out and I'm now getting a gray screen, but nothing beyond(and no cursor).

I seem to be having a terrible weekend for Macs-after finding a swollen batttery in my Unibody Macbook, I decided to get out my 2400c and install some software on it now that I have a SCSI adapter. I last used the computer 2-3 weeks ago and it was working fine, albeit with a bad battery. I now...

Thanks-I'm out of town at the moment, but will try to post some photos of the board and of course give it a close look when I get back on Monday. Someone contacted privately and said that they had an NOS board with tantalum caps that they had done nothing to other than open it and remove the...

I have used several different DB-15 Apple CRTs that are known good. As I said, I have-in many cases-installed a card and monitor combo in my IIci, tested it there, and then moved the card and monitor as a unit over to the II. I have half a dozen different NuBus cards and probably 8-10 working...

Thanks guys. This is a plain Mac II, not a IIx or IIfx(I wish!). As I said, I know the card itself isn't an issue as I've tried a bunch of different cards and confirmed them all good in different systems. In all cases, I used the same card and monitor combo when testing. I'll try the floppy...

I have a Mac II around here that I've worked with on and off for a while. I suspect it needs a recap(or rather I'm sure of it), but thought I'd ask and see if there's something else I could try. Basically, when I first received the computer it was dead as a doornail. I was advised to replace...

Interesting. A while back I bought one on Ebay that was advertised as non-working and the packing tape holding it together didn't leave me in much doubt :) . I actually bought it with a non-working 3400c so that I could rob the LCD off the 3400 for my working one with a bad screen. In any...

Here is the rebuilt one I have.

Thanks guys. The one pictured is indeed the one I have.

For a while, I've wondered if there's anything specific that differentiates an early ADB KB as a IIgs keyboard. My IIgs came to me without a board at all, but several months later bought a bunch of ADB peripherals. Included in the bunch were a couple of keyboards with "concave" key caps. They...

I have one that was sold to me as rebuilt, although I don't know what procedure was used. Since I bought the computer(and battery) form a member here, perhaps he can provide some details. I haven't looked at it TOO closely but it don't recall any scars being overly obvious.  BTW, a number of...

That looks like a 733mhz to me, but it could be any lower end SP model. BTW, my experience is opposite the above poster-I've seen, handled, and owned a LOT of Quicksilvers and the majority are 733s.

I suspect so also. My HD20SC had a huge Seagate 5 1/4" drive that wouldn't initialize when I got it. I've only had my HD20 open once, but it has the Rodime drive. I've never investigated, but I've been told the interface is proprietary. I just have it sitting under my 512Ke and...

When I got my 5300c, I think that the seller had it listed at a price of $50+shipping. It came with the manual, two batteries(dead) and power adapter but works fine. I bought it from someone cleaning out their collection in preparation for moving. I'd made a deal on $300 or so of other stuff...

Interestingly enough, I had a PDQ that I'd lost/forgotten about and when I booted it up, I was greeted with a very similar screen. Fortunately, I had bought this computer from its original owner. He was kind enough to provide me with the password when I had bought the computer, and I was able...

Interesting. I bought a parts 3400c a while back mostly to rob the display for my working 3400c. It would act as you've described-it would click but not go past there. It did show some PRAM battery leakage, but again I didn't really pursue it since the panel was perfect(the one on my working...
