some pictures of the 7300/200, because without pictures, it didn't happen (according to a lot of sites with message boards): Unit with cover off: Top down look at the machine: A look into the card bay: The PCI Ethernet card: Is this a second SCSI connector (never seen two on a Mac...

Thanks for taking the time for posting the instructions. I did get it open, and got the PRAM battery out. It looks like it hasn't leaked, and also looks like the factory original one, as it is purple and green, Tadiran brand. After getting the drive framework out of the way, I looked the...

The PowerMac 7300/200 arrived today. It has its 12X Apple Mac CDROM drive, but no HD. The description was incorrect, it actually does power up, and following the previous posts here, I was able to turn it on from both the front panel power button, and from the power button on the power switch...

just a small follow up. The Mac to VGA adapter arrived today, and I was able to get video output to a Dell 24" Ultrasync monitor. I got the expected floppy icon with the blinking question mark (I don't have a HD or bootable floppy), so I am pretty confident that the machine is basically...

Hi, Is a Pioneer D-706s CD-ROM drive usable on either a Centris 650 (C650) or a PowerMac 7300/200? I am trying to find a drive for my Centris 650 (factory standard, no higher clock CPU or Nubus SCSI cards), and the 7300/200 is also stock, and this has come up. The D-706S is a 32X CD-ROM, so it...

Hi, I have recently bought a Centris 650 (you can see what I posted on it in the Mac II/Centris/Quadra section of the board). I was also able to locate a PowerMac 7300/200. It has a broken front panel power button, which I understand is pretty common to this generation of PowerMacs due to the...

Just wanted to follow up, and let anybody interested know that I have plugged the C650 in, and that I did indeed get a power on chime (more of a gong, really). The MacAlly keyboard LEDs flashed very briefly as well, and the rear fan spun, and was actually pushing a lot of air out, and the fan...

I can get SanDisk 16GB uSD cards for $CAD8.99, and Kingston Canvas for $CAD5.99. I'm going with one of them. Just have to figure out if it works properly before proceeding. If so, I have a bunch of stuff to get for it (CD-ROM drive, RAM modules, uSD based SCSI adapter, VRAM modules, etc.). just...

volvo242gt, thanks for your thoughts. I will be sending you a DM/PM on the stuff you are offering. I did manage to pick up an ADB keyboard locally, but it was a Power Computing branded keyboard. I also have a monitor adapter on the way, so that I can actually do something besides listen to the...

Mdeverhart, thanks for identifying all the strange connectors. Another dumb question: the 4 slots for the RAM take 72 pin SIMMs, correct? The 72 pin SIMMs come in two types, FPM and EDO. Does the C650 care which of the two types is used, as long as both are 80ns?

Thanks to all for the welcome. The two VRAM slots I think are placed together under the floppy drive (and I guess the CD-ROM if it was there). THere are a pair of them. The one connector is black, and is in line but forward of the last (closest to the case) white NuBus slot. The other is right...

I just received a Centris 650 from a local surplus place that I actually found on eBay. Machine appears to be a 1993 unit, and it is said to chime when powered up. From the outside, the plastic front and rear plastic covers have yellowed considerably (closer to orange, actually). The machine...
