"Software for processor cards in PCI power macs is not *required* since it replaces the original processor. It will run just fine, except Apple System Profiler may not display the correct speed or processor type." Why does my 7500 boot up with a Sonnet banner under the Mac OS 9 logo and then...

That is weird. None of the Mac fan sites that I can find makes any mention of a IIsi coming with an internal CD ROM or of any upgrades from Apple or third parties to allow that. You might have a prototype or some rare model that was only released in limited quantities or in limited markets which...

I had my Q700 in the IIvx case open recently and my hand brushed the metal case and I got shocked. i thought it was a static discharge, but when I touched it again, another shock. I can't see any places where electricity might be arcing from the power cable or power supply into the case. What do...

Macs should be used as Macs. :approve: If you want to turn something into a very large hard drive enclosure, there are plenty of old PC towers out there for that. :approve: :approve:

We've got a big trash cleanup coming up here next month. I'm hoping to pick a few more Macs then, though it's getting harder to find the oldest stuff. I've found 3 Pluses out for trash so far and got an SE from Freecycle. Look under the monitor bezel on the front for a serial number sticker...

Check the RAM. The checkerboard is different from the lines that you get with simasimac. Cleaning the connections with a pencil eraser and reseating the memory sometimes makes the checkerboard go away.

Should a 'Macintosh' show a green light in the drive bay?

"floor plans for some hospitals in Washington" Are you one of those people who goes adventuring in abandoned hospitals in the middle of the night? :lol:

Amiga......4000.....Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Please tell me it doesn't have a video toaster, too. xx(

Supermac Thunder II WITH the DSP daughter board. :lol: So which 68kmla'ers were bidding against me?

I have 10.2.8 on my 700mhz Snow model and the speed is good but the lack of support for newer software keeps me from using it much. I only have 256mb in it, so until I can scrape up a few more high density RAM sticks, it'll be staying with Jaguar.

Bolle You probably have to find any incompatible extensions and control panels and remove or replace them.

Good thing I just bought a bunch of PRAM batteries then. So many projects, so little time and bench space. |)

Scott Baret said there are no distinguishing markings other than the build date encoded in the serial number.

Now for the question. Who has a copy of the Sonnet Presto PPC install disk? That seems like a logical place to go first.

Hey, I saw something about the 512ke today that said the model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

Awww, man. That Goodwill maintains a museum. Guess where all the really good vintage stuff goes. :'(

I go to the Salvation Army store to look for computers. I haven't found anything interesting enough to buy yet, but I still look. Goodwill never has computers in the stores but they do have them online. I think they save them for internet sales where they can get higher prices from competitive...

When collectors start trying to make a complete set of every revision and color then some will become valuable because that will separate the rare ones from the commons.

Rodus When you install a CPU upgrade you have to pull the old card, press the reset button, THEN install the new CPU. I had that problem with my G4 1000 upgrade. My 7500 wouldn't boot until I had removed the upgrade, pressed the reset button, and then reinstalled it. Dog Cow, Find the reset...
