How hard is the Takky upgrade? I have a 6320 board and 5260 board. Just ordered a LC575 as well.

Hello! I once purchased a NewerTech G4 400 card for my original iMac, but it isn’t posting when I boot with it. I don’t know if it needs new caps, new thermal paste (can you use a pad instead?) or what. I’ve attached a couple of photos for reference: Please let me know if any of you can...

I restored a backlit Portable with SCSI2SD, 8 Mb ram card and new lead acid battery. I can verify that this power supply works fantastic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PXUHYA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KES053EVR0QXJZEJKMBR

Does anyone fix these display problems? I have two 540c displays and they both have three horizontal bars of pixels. Sometimes if you put pressure on the corner you can get part of the picture working. Tried it with multiple machines and cables so I know it’s the display.

That’s super cool!! If you can find a 32Mb ram card for it, you can hack it to run OS9!!

This is the craziest find ever!!! Way to go!! I had a similar experience last year when I saw an SE/30 on eBay with the DB15 on the back and immediately hit the Buy It Now button. It was a functioning SE/30 AND it had the elusive Micron XCEED Color 30 card in it!! Paid much more than $75...

Finally!! After tinkering with an external hard drive, I was able to get OS 9 installed. I copied the System Folder from a PowerMac 7500, modified the System file, changed the Gestalt in WishIWere to 5xx/PPC. Super crazy! Looking to change the physical hard drive to SCSI2SD or BlueSCSI and if...

I will ask him and find out.  Thanks!

A friend of mine just successfully printed one of these, and with a slim SATA to SATA adapter, IDE to SATA adapter board, and SATA extension cable, I’m successfully running a laptop drive from 2010 and watching DVDs with VLC in 10.4.  It’s a bit of a tight fit, but it’s all working!  Just need...

Hello!  In my quest to restore older 540c, I found someone who is resourceful with 3D printing.  I’ve attached a photo of the hinge cover bezel he designed.  Original is in the middle, his version on the right.  

Hello all, I was recently working on restoring 3 of my machines, two 540C and one 520c. I purchased a 540c from a local guy about 2 years ago, and found it had the Apple PPC upgrade card, 32Mb ram card and a crazy 811 MB hard drive!! The bad news was that the display was not cooperating...

Yes, I have a dock, external keyboard works.  The Caps lock key lights up on internal though..

My 2300c keyboard is AWOL and the screen brightness buttons aren’t working..  any ideas?  Can I send it to you for repair?

Yesterday:  Beige PowerMac G3 with AV capture card, ADB keyboard and mouse, CD SC (with original box, caddies, cables!!). MacProject software with box, and a 17” Multiscan Display!!  $100 Canadian for everything!!!

Technically you could put a Micron XCEED card horizontally along the top if you had the room and a way to support it..  Has anyone tried that before?  Can you have two different video cards in an SE30 as long as they're on different addresses? Craig

Have you installed the Asante software for more troubleshooting perhaps?

Hey there!  I was trying to do this the other day, and I could NOT get the Pivot IIsi and the MacCon to play nice together.  I don't know if I had my jumpers set wrong, but I literally tried just about every configuration. What are the jumper settings for the Pivot and what are the jumper...
