    PowerLogix Z-Force ZIF speed switches? Help!

    Anybody have PowerLogix's Switch_Demo.sit software?  The only links I can find to it all lead to the same dead end on PowerLogix's mostly dead web site. I have a Z-Force upgrade with switches to adjust the multipliers for clocking the chip, and no idea what the individual switches do.  I need a...

    Use for an LC520?

    Bunsen: I hadn't seen that the quad-core minis were history. That and the RAM access issue make upgrading my 2011 mini filled classroom a bit problematic. Might have to return to an all PC environment. The Quadra Classic is still half done. I sent an important cable from the monitor to a friend...

    ... for GEICO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire-Hathaway :)

    Use for an LC520?

    For some reason this discussion reminded me to check to see if Berkshire-Hathaway had updated their website at all since I last checked it a few years ago. Http://www.berkshirehathaway.com I love that the richest investment portfolio in the US has the same all-text website they had in 1996.

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    I'll get them cleaned up and see what's working and what needs attention soon. Then I'll post what I have and want over in the trading post forum. It might be a month or so before I'm ready tho.

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    Back in the 90s I bought a WGS9150 cd bezel online, and had a tricked out 950. It was too big to move when I changed jobs. Both of these are stock flat beveled 950s, as is the 900 in the corner

    Quadra 650 running A/UX

    Now that CD-ROMs are kind of worthless, a 650 lobo in a 700 case (or dremeled cc/vi case) would be a very nice toy indeed! There's a case compatibility chart around here somewhere... Ah hah. I knew I left it at lowendmac. http://lowendmac.com/myturn/2k1213.html

    Found a Portable

    Yeah. I need to read up on what needs doing to it. I take a recap for granted, and I think I have the battery figured out (conceptually). I need to read up on RAM and the HDD and other all-caps acronyms as well. :) Then there's all the possibilities with scsi2sd and techknight's toys. I...

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    Yeah I closed the side, I just prefer to do it with the 950 on its side, so I can line it all up right There's another 950 on top of it now, and a third he gave me a while ago, in pieces on the other side of the garage. I need to get them up to my lab at school and test them all out. After...

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    Dad dropped off another 9500/132 and another Q950 tonight. And a bucket of ADKs and mice. The 9500 with the Sonnet accelerator in it is a G4/350.

    Found a Portable

    I love how the bag has the snowwhite grooves too!  I found the bag's missing foot inside.  That's a repair I feel comfortable making myself :)

    Found a Portable

    This thing is a serious garage-find.  The dust on the case and nearly-complete lack of sunburn (ex. space bar) leads me to believe that this one has been in storage since the 90s. I'm going to do some research on it before I dig in and start ruining stuff. (Now I understand why they called...

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    The 950's door goes back on, but I haven't fiddled with it yet.  Don't want to shatter any plastic bits.

    "They're gonna throw away some old Macs at work..."

    "...you want 'em?"  My dad works where they used to use Macs to run analysis hardware, and asked me if I wanted the old Macs they were going to pitch.  Sure! So, Monday he shows up at my house with two PM 9500s.  Sweet!  One has a Sonnet upgrade that I haven't investigated yet. Tuesday he...

    Found a Portable

    Don't wanna jinx it, but I found a Mac Portable on Craigslist in my metro area for $40. Going to pick it up tonight. The seller says it doesn't work, but it is complete with the Apple carry bag and everything, so I expect/hope a trip to see uniserver and a new/hacked battery will net me a...
