Right, the 50 pin cable is unusual. I tried both, handmade and a bunch of pressed osx cds. Both did, if i remember correctly, work at some point. Well, i'll keep my eyes peeled for any kind of tray loading laptop drives. Maybe i find one fitting to the frontplate somehow.

... which doesn't need to be a cdrom. Just a volume somewhere. Have you tried dumping the iso to another (virtual) harddisk?

Not bad. However, the tweeter behind the floppy slot might be a bad idea. I would instead choose another driver, maybe a fullrange speaker, either a very cheap Tangband or something like a Mission koax. Anyways, here is my vote for the best hack: http://www.kiwidee.com/kiwidee/cs_e.html An...

I have to correct myself, like uniserver said, the settings for master/slave have to be set correctly, cableselect doesn't seem to work. Also it appears that one of the three iMac cd drives is able to play audio cds. Alas, it doesn't boot anything.

Flyback transformer? Would that be the cause for snapping/flicking/clicking of the display? Because all iMacs do it by now. It's a tiny bit scary. :-O My highest bid is 3 Euros and it's about 10 km away, so even if i only get a used harddisk out of it, i win. Anyway, about the iMac in...

Someone next town sells a broken iMac. I placed a bid. Even if it's broken beyond repair, some parts should be salvageable. :lol: The seller says it's a M5521 in green. The seller hasn't answered my questions for a couple of days. It seems to me it's a third gen iMac with the new HK-speakers...

By bridgeboard you mean the board between the JAE 50 pin of the drive and the larger 44/50 pin that goes to the motherboard (through the metalring)? JAE 50 is the common connector in laptops, it's basically 40 pin ATA (1 to 40), 4 pin power (41 to 44) and 6 pin option pins (A to F), in this case...

The experiment must continue! Can you add harddisk images? If yes, dd the ISO into a HFS partition or harddisk. I don't remember the details, but i did something like that when i didn't have a cdrom to install A/UX on my quadra. I used dd to dump the iso on a disk wich i then added as a second...

Shipping would be to germany, makes no sense, but thanks for the kind offer. [:D] ]'> The drives are standard 24x laptop drives, as far as i can see. The faceplate might be changeable, if i find the right maker and model.

Is there some special secret why they all are broken? Maybe something i can fix? And if not, what model do i get for replacement?

You could always just use two different images and two different emulator configurations. Do you use basilisk? On Linux? Then copy the file ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs to ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs2. Open the file and change the "disk" option to the right image. Then boot like that: BasiliskII --config...

Because that LC475 doesn't overclock itself to 40 MHz: 2x Dil14 sockets, 1 Euro 1 20 MHz crystal, 1 Euro Because i always wanted 4 hands: 2x third hand with magnifying glass, 6 Euro And some smaller iMac Rev A upgrades: 1x 2MB SGRAM iMac video ram, 1 Euro 1x 4MB SGRAM iMac video ram, 1...

Some LC475 run stable at 40MHz just as they are. Why not try it before you get a large 840av? And when it works, treat yourself by getting a new 840av. ;D

Just wanted to add that the original Hack of the LC475 is magically available again. i guess sytes.net has removed their restrictive robots.txt, wich in turn led Archive.org to list the old sites as available again. Enjoy "Reach to Quadra840AV? LC475-40Mhz-Clockup" by Hiromasa Yamaoka...

Who was the man that removed the mountain? The same man that started by removing a single pebble. Chinese proverb or something. |)

I would love to own the Classic II. I hear it's really silent when compared to the Classic.

Make pics, scan docs. :approve:

I finally got a proper keyboard and mouse for one of my iMacs first gen. FINALLY! Away with you, Microsoft keyboard! Away with you, Logitech mouse!

Could be for a laptop of some kind.

Well, there is one. but it's an abandonware site and i don't dare mention it's name. It's not the garden. I just finished mirroring it and it's about 90 GB worth of archives. Most of the games are very old and probably play fine on my iMac 233 or even my trustey old Quadra 650. But some are...
