    Replacing iMac G3 CD Drive with DVDRW

    Do a search for cube drive upgrades as they are the same to use.  The old cube site may still show the part numbers and links.

    eMac Trouble

    USB flash drives work pretty well.  I usually have no issues, some external drives have issues so I try not to use them.

    Am I f----d?

    Not all 638's had two ram slots.  ine does but thats because I happen to find a board with them.  And yes it had the original 638 board in it from original owner.

    What to do with 6100/60?

    did you say you need the 6100 to RJ45 connector?  I have quite a few.  how about 5 dollars shipped for one?  Ill look for an Apple branded, but most I have are 3rd party like Fallaron and such.

    G5 2.1ghz iMac Road-kill

    Also bad power supply caps.  I got an ALS one years ago at goodwill for cheap, when you could still find them there, before I knew how to solder at all, got a spare off eBay and is good even now.  Gave it to someone down the street and they are still using it.  I would go with motherboard caps...

    Odd Quadra Motherboard

    My guess would be maybe it was not stable is why it was down clocked.

    Macintosh TV, getting it going and stuff

    Moving resistors on both sides of the motherboard.  It changes the gestalt ID and allows the rom to think its a TAM which also proved the 6400/6500 and TAM share the same ROM.  The board will not make the TAM bong in a 5xxx series case, needs the built in sub I guess.  I have a thread on it...

    SCSI2SD Setup Troubles

    I am running 7.6.1 on my color classic with a 550 board and it shows color classic II with the identifier, so I am not sure what the problem is.  Maybe you have an extention it doesnt work well with.  Thats why they made a 3rd party program called conflict catcher.

    Macintosh TV, getting it going and stuff

    Again I have a 638, and I know what it can and cant do.  The idea was to find the difference.  The av board and the coax board on the 638 series are both removable, on the TV it is not with AV.  The AV is part of the motherboard.  There are fewer caps on the motherboard by far compared to all...

    Macintosh TV, getting it going and stuff

    The Mac TV is different completely as the TV tuner is a card, but the AV is integrated into the motherboard.  Thats why there is no FPU slot.  Also since its a 030 you cannot use the computer while watching TV.  Its one or the other.  Its 16 bit for TV and 8 bit video for computer side...

    SCSI2SD Setup Troubles

    After 7.5 it will always say power macintosh or macintosh. There was an init that fixes it.  I listed the name of it on another thread and its version.  Off the top of my head I forget what its called.

    Do you have external speakers on your color classic?

    it should be the same as the mini jack on a phone, like the one removed from the last iPhone.  That mini jack is decades old all the way back to original tape players.  Its what replaced the headphone jack on old stereos (70's) that used huge plugs for headphones.  Look up apple design speakers...

    Clamshell or G3 Snow Owners - Uses?

    clasilla 9.3.3 can make it passable to use on the net.  Other than that unless you have a specific need in your head it is a dust collector.

    Do you have external speakers on your color classic?

    its a normal headphone jack.  same as used on just about all macs and external speakers.

    Macintosh TV, getting it going and stuff

    So I got the Macintosh TV  and I am finding oddities that make this machine at its age and what it does super strange. First how it came.  Well packed no power on at all. Recapped logic board, No change, change button switch as was listed ages ago on an LC board.  Now in a 575 it boots...

    Performa 6300

    yes, same board for the video, but if you have a com slot card it will not.  the 6300 is comm slot and the 6500 is comm slot II.
