Most smart KVMs isolate the input PS/2 from the outputs and emulate a PS/2 keyboard to stop the machine at the other end freaking out. You could probably do it on an old-fashioned hard-switched one but then you'd risk all sorts of nastiness with shorts etc., there's a good reason they stopped...

The 7200 case is a nice form factor. I also happen to thing the 7500 (which he used the Logic Board from) is one of the greatest Macs Apple made. I'd surely push a few people out of the way to get a 7500/G4/700. It'd run Tiger real nice, with a Radeon, I know that. I'm buttering scones here...

Sorry, I must have been thinking of something else... I doubt the RAM latency will look as good on a 950, but you are probably right when you say it'll be *as* fast. The point is to have a 50 megaton bus next to your desk that only performs as well as an 840av seems a tad pointless to me...

Is it not in the front of the Manual or the Getting Started guide jjholly?

I still don't get how people consider the 950 'superior' to the 840av. The 950 was built off an older architecture, which included slower, non interleaved RAM and no onboard video, and, although it was able to hold more NuBus cards, had a full PDS slot and was able to take large number of disks...

I can recommend the following software: E-UAE: http://www.rcdrummond.net/uae/ this requires an OS X version of... LibSDL: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php And to setup a .uaerc (bootstrap config file) I recommend... HiToro: http://www.pimley.net/projects_hi-toro.html It takes a...

Dear lord, I could run a 6502 and Z80 side by side in a BBC Micro... In fact I believe it was done that was so the BBC could run CP/M. WOOHOOO!!! Let me guess, at least one is a 500/500+ :p

Mind your knuckles on the case, won't you ;) Corruption lines and blocks on the screen usually indicate bad VRAM.

It's a sign of a dead or missing PRAM battery. 7.6 or higher Mac OS has to set some flags in the PRAM on boot that are not the default on a lot of older 68k Macs. If they are not set, it sets them them does a second boot cycle to load itself up with them set.

There's too mucgh hate in this thread so I'm gonna just name some of my favourite OS X developers... TextDrive (for TextMate - OS X's new BBEdit) Plasq (for Skitch) Red Sweater Software (for MarsEdit) mark/Space (for Missing Sync - *the* way to fly Windows Mobile from a Mac!) Blacktree (for...

Stick Leopard on it , my G4/667 TiBook runs 10.5 beautifully. All it takes is a little Open Firmware hackery (which has virtually no chance of harming the machine I might add) and you're good to go. The G4 iBooks use Radeon graphics chips too so you won't have much in the way of graphics issues...

RAMBUS RAM is actually better performing than older DDR that was around at the time. The issue was the speed made it prohibitively expensive. Intel tried to make it stick but in the end customers voices drowned out any reason, and they switched to DDR in the wake of falling sales. As a result of...

Only game console I've ever owned, I still get all teary eyed remembering everyone pawing over the Mega CD and the games we played back then. It was such great fun.

It worked on my iMac G4/800 too. Installed Leopard off the original DVD with Zero fuss. I'm also delighted to announce that the Leopard Graphics Update for 10.5.2 has solved the bugs that stopped GeForce 2.4MX cards working right, specifically crashing to a white screen on wake from sleep, and...

Pfftt, whatever. Since when does 'put weight on weak spot, weak spot bends, internals bend with it, stuff breaks' not make sense? I'm just going away to stab pins in an effigy if anyone needs me...

IIRC storing CRT monitors upside down puts stress on the top part of the case which isn't designed to take load, which in turn causes it to twist. That moves the internal components, and can stress those too which can crack any brittle solder joints on the circuit boards. It's not Voodoo, just...

I think the only reason Apple went to using DDR SDRAM was because it was cheap and available and facilitated use of much higher bus speeds. It also allowed the use of standard components that were numerous and in stock with laptop makers at the time. On top of all that i mad the laptops look...

Yes they do, but they don't physically fit, because the chassis is in the way of the card slot (or slots in this case), which sticks out at right angles from the IIsi card. The SE/30 version was just the same card with a connector that pointed vertically up, not out at 90-degrees.

Look on the bright side, I went down with flu over Xmas when I was 9 and didn't go back to school for almost 4 months (the first 3 weeks of which I was practically bed-ridden apart from using the bathroom). Suffice to say something bad happened as a result of having it, but still...

Congrats Bolle! Welcome to the Mac Pro owners club :) I <3 my Mac Pro 2GHz 4-core. It's a real mean mo-fo for throwing photos around on :)
