The sticky is the "soft touch" coating deteriorating. You can clean it off with isopropyl alcohol but it will leave the rubber surfaces shiny instead of matte.

I have four A9M0106 drives. Would you like one?

I'm pretty sure that the only easy processor fits are the Sawtooth, Gigabit Ethernet and aftermarkets. The other ones are going to be physically facing odd directions or require other mods to work properly.

I did just that in my brother's Cube. I took the dual 500 MHz proc board from a dead Gig-E PowerMac, relocated those inductors and slapped it in with a custom heat spreader on the stock heatsink. It also got a full 1.5 GB RAM, 128 MB GeForce 6200, large hard drive and quiet fan. It even runs...

One of my favorite 'Books I own. If for nothing else, then simply for it's mustachioed mouse clicker.

Well, if you weren't such a Hulk...

Very cool. I have a turbo, non-ADB slab on my desk at work. Every now and again I use it for actual work.

Hap, you got the goods - again! You serious about that museum? I've entertained the thought of doing one a few times but I it turns out that I have a family that seems to suck up more time that I can give. If you open one, I'd definitely put it on my list of things to do the next time I'm in...

Later NeXT machines used ADB. Early ones had a NeXT-specific DIN connection. The mouse plugs into the keyboard which plugs into the monitor (or sound box) which plugs into the computer.

I want to know how he got to 521K to begin with ;)

Ugh. SU carbs.

I wish you had better luck with Localtalk. It really is one of the simplest ways to move files between old Macs.

You'll have a fair amount of cutting here too: The keyboard is just about exactly as wide as the outside dimension of the Powerbook Duo top case. With the Duo case over top, you can barely see the plastic edge trim of the Powerbook G4 on the outside edge.

I'll get a pic with a 12" PBG4 keyboard for you tomorrow.

A 12" iBook G4 keyboard is wider than a PowerBook Duo 2300c topcase by about 1/16" on either side and you'd lose the top row of function keys if you tried to fit it into the Duo's keyboard space.

Start with a toothbrush and baking soda and see what happens.

I think it will work, according to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44937?viewlocale=en_US

:/ I know the 21" color cable works with the 21" monochrome monitor but not the other way around. I was hoping the portrait would be the same story as the 21" mono. I actually passed up an early color 21" a while back because the case plastics were all cracked and broken. Oh well. Maybe I'll...

Waiting on a cable. I'm hoping it works. It's the 13W3 --> 15-pin cable for the 21" color monitor.
