I think any G5, working or not, $100 is a great deal! :O

Are you using the proper Mac OS ROM file version?

Aww. :( Aside from the new platinum interface, there's nothing very special about OS 8. All apps introduced during the OS 8 time period either work on System 7.5, or on 9. As far as I know, most if not everything that exists in OS 8 exists in OS 9.

Well to extract the system files, you would need TomeViewer.

Yep. I actually took out the PCI cards and it works fine...

Incredible! :O

I bought a QuickTake 200 camera in box on eBay recently...I waited 2 weeks, and it still did not arrive. Finally, it arrived today, and I was pleasantly surprised with TWO QuickTakes in box! I only paid for one! Both come with all original cables and software (one has the user manual, one does...

Very nice :)

I concur.

That's sort of the case with my Performa 578. Except, the fizzling sound stops when you have an active window open on the desktop - if you don't, then the fizzling sound returns.

Yes, I've done the service test page and have already isolated the problem to the I/O board.

I checked the I/O board, and the capacitors (3 of the can-type ones) are leaking. There are 2 large capacitors, but I haven't checked. The engine of my LaserWriter is dated January 1989, so it doesn't surprise me. I don't think the IIg board came very far after. Luckily my dad is interested in...

IMO, neither of the rolling eyes emoticons really depict "rolling one's eyes" very well. :-/ But yeah, the first one was much better.

The G3 card works *sometimes* in the 7300. I have a 604e in it right now, and you have to press the power button, wait a few second, toggle the power again, before it will show video, raster, etc. Sound to me like it could be a power supply problem, but I'm not ruling out the G3 as a possibility.

It is if you're a musician and want to use a vintage Mac. :)

My LaserWriter IIg was working flawlessly up until yesterday, when both the Power and Paper Out lights are lit when I turn it on. There is paper in the tray, and I've reseated the tray and reloaded the paper several times. So because the paper out light is on, the printer doesn't boot up all the...

Welcome! :)

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic Board, from the "Fast SCSI 2" slot, to the "SCSI-1" slot. That seemed to work. I popped in a 604e 150 MHz card that...

I just got a PowerBook G3 Lombard yesterday, and everything worked fine, but as of today, the Command key no longer works. I tried resetting the PRAM - but it doesn't work, cause the computer doesn't detect the Command key being reset. I connected a USB keyboard, and the Command key works. While...

It has a 50 pin connector, so I don't see why not.
