I didn't mean to imply it was in any way a better value than an actual Plus, just trying my best with the limited knowledge I have to explain how it works. If I were to recommend anything, it would be an SE because you can get those for the same price as a Plus if you look hard enough and they...

From what I gather, 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 were only shipped with specific systems. You couldn't get them through retail channels. I'm not sure if the install discs would even work on any other system that they weren't designed for.

That upgrade doesn't look like it includes the SCSI controller and only has 512k on the board. The seller needs to add more pictures to make it more clear what's included.

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the machine they were installed in is difficult. Someone obviously didn't know it was in there or forgot about it when they...

Fans will do that over time. Dust and dirt accumulates on the vanes of the fan and throw it out of balance which stresses the motor and bearings. Keeping them clean will increase the life greatly. Remember, failed fans lead to failed components so while a fan may only cost a few dollars to...

A 68882 will work in place of a 68881. They are pin compatible. The 68882 is a more efficient update to the 68881 that is capable of scaling to higher clock speeds. The instruction set is the same as in the 68881. This is why a 68882 is preferable to a 68881 if you can find one. Your floating...

The Dove board fitted over the existing RAM. I'm not quite sure how, but everything I've seen about it says it snaps into place on top of the existing RAM chips. The Dove upgrade consisted of two boards. One large board with the RAM chips and a smaller board with the SCSI controller. The...

You know, not having the quote button is too inconvenient. Anyway, I have a source for the octopus cables if I need one.

The IIcx and IIci sit flat, not upright, so the smiley is clearly a Quadra 700. :quadra:

Trash80, Having the exact same post made by 10 different people and all of them being responded to with basically the same reply adds to the clutter more than one big post containing an entire conversation.

The thing is, though, that if nested quotes is the issue, how is someone supposed to easily follow the flow of the conversation? If I quote a message that replies to a prior message then the person reading my reply is only getting part of the conversation. Someone who looks only at the new...

I want all these new smilies added to the official list. :approve:

I've seen stock 512k boards for as low as $50 so for all the work of socketing the chips on a 128k board plus the cost of the sockets and new chips it's better just to buy the whole board. I've actually been thinking of just getting a 512k board and putting that in until I can find someone who...

So I replaced the power board in my 128k and I am now getting Sad Mac 040002 at bootup. From what I can gather there is some bad memory on the motherboard that causes this. Does anyone here know how to replace the chips? I can't test the chips to find which are bad or solder so I need someone...

You can try contacting support at Powerlogix or OWC.

Why don't I see the quote button in the upper right of the messages today? All I see is an upside triangle with an exclamation point.

Well, I was searching ebay and actually found another 6100 DOS compatible. The opening bid was 99 cents so I bid it and won. The shipping was a bit high but not more than I would have been willing to pay for another machine like it so I grabbed that instead. A DOS card and octopus cable would...

The last time I saw him with any, he had two 40 mhz and I bought both of them. I think he wanted $15 each for them, but that has to be about a year to a year and a half ago. And I agree about Amiga users ruining the market for cheap parts for us Mac users.
