I have a bootable retail 7.5.3 install CD with a System software installer. It boots my 8500 with no issues.

Nah, I ripped it all out myself.

The only way I've done this before was to take what I could of the old bits of the threaded socket and lightly superglue them in place. I then scored the area around it with an xacto knife. I made a rectangular form as large as would fit inside the empty space around the standoff before filling...

The IIci cleaned up nicely.

I picked up a handful of 50-pin inline terminators for $1 each last weekend. I've used them before and they work pretty well in between the adapter board and ribbon or between the ribbon and the logic board if there's room.

I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days.

Looks and acts just like the board you sent to me to have a look at. All 64 of the ROM connections look good. All of the caps and connections from them are good.

Yep. I want to pair it with a Portrait display for the gallery shoot! The seller ended up being a former Apple QA tester. The machine was in pretty good shape aside from an acceptable amount of yellowing and the bad trace on UE13

No need unless you need to be rid of it. I still have some Plus action for you whenever you get a chance. We are still square in regard to that deal.

I was able to pick up a IIci from the LEM swap list this week for $15. It had a dead logic board but I was able to find the rotten trace and get it running. On to retrobriting.

Way back when at an old job, we had a large HP line printer in the computer room (to compliment the HP 3000 and 9000 systems and peripherals). Even in that noisy machine room, the dot matrix line printer was head a shoulders above the rest of the din. We printed label runs on it fairly often and...

There were a couple of dev board kits: NeXTbus Development Kit NBIC Prototyping Board Here is a thread about the NeXTbus dev kit: http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5

Maybe those are for prototyping your own boards to slot into a NeXT Cube?

Congrats! It a nifty, if underpowered Mac.

Yeah, that chip's ripped pads look easy enough to jump.

So did that clear it's head or what?

Pull the PRAM battery and try again. I've "revived" a lot of "broken" PowerMac G4's this way.

I threw a Gatorbox in the trash in 2006 :(

Yeah, it was an AGP Pro slot. As I recall, the early cards are keyed for 1.5V.

The Quadra 605 and Performa 475 were different models so you only paid for one of them. It's not like both name badges came in the box.
