If the 5v and 12v voltages are ok while the machine is running, you should check the fan. Is the power supply fan is not spinning, you should replace the fan.

I don’t know the correct switch settings for sync. I was just pointing out sync on green is wrong. Your adapter should work with the right settings. The no switch multi sync adapters work great.

The 660AV should Support 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. Sync on green should not be used. The Apple Multiple Scan Display should work fine with your Mac. On the Dell, you should select the VGA input and not DVi input. Good luck finding the correct settings.

I checked the LSL 7 wiki, and the Mac version was released on January 18, 1997. For reference, 180 MHz 603e machines were released in 1996 and 250 MHz 603e machines were sold in 1987. While the game might run on a 68040 Mac, it probably requires a faster PowerMac to run well - that’s my theory

Hmm - I was using After Dark 4 on a 68040 Mac.

FYI Steam rereleased LSL 7 on Steam in 2017 for Windows XP thru 10. You can still buy it on Steam for $5.99 https://store.steampowered.com/app/765890/Leisure_Suit_Larry_7__Love_for_Sail/

I disagree with shadedream. I have After Dark 4 and it does not work with MacOS8 or 8.1 on 68K based Macs. I suggest reverting to System 7.6.1 - the latest OS compatible with After Dark. Star Trek TOS After Dark installs and work fine with After Dark 4.

if you’re running OSX 10.4.x, then you can run Geekbench 2.2 on your iBook.

The computer has a 32 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9550, which was a fast GPU when it was released in 2005.

Try booting off System 7.5.5 or System 7.6.1.

Techtool Pro?

Thanks for updating Tetris Max. This is one of the first games I’ll install on my old Macs.

I submit the Seagate Wren 330 MB SCSI 5 1/4 inch drive is the noisiest drive I’ve ever heard. Listen for yourself

There was a hacked version of Apple Drive setup that worked with nearly all SCSI drives. Another option is FWB Hard Disk Toolkit that allowed booting from non-Apple drives. This was shipped with Umax Mac clones and probably other Mac clones on the System CD.

I have two Quantum LPS SCSI drives from about 1994 that spin, but don’t seek. One was fully working last week. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Search for spillproof keyboard. Plenty of choices, s including a Logitech K120 for $12.97.

A universal power supply sounds like a bad idea. I can imagine the voltage switch getting bumped accidentally, instantly frying your PowerBooks internal power supply. As an alternative, there is an Amazon link on page 1 of this thread for a 16V DC power supply that is still available inexpensively.

You can’t create a Mac 800K disk with a USB floppy drive - the drive is not hardware compatible.

FYI OWC sells the 512 MB module for your iBook G3 for $12.99 new at https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/133SO512328L/

I bought some automotive grade thru hole capacitors recently. The specification sheet for many of these capacitors shows a working life of 1000 to 10000 hours at 105C. Automotive grade is extended temperature range compared to consume electronics and typically rated at 85C. My point is most...
