The local Craig's list finally had something good on it. A former Apple dealer advertised a bunch of vintage Mac stuff, so I went to look today. Amazing! Probably two truckloads of stuff; everything from a B&W G3 to shelves of boxed software (Final Cut Pro, for example) tp boxes of...

It's even worse than that. Like most governments, the US Government is afraid of it's own citizens and becoming more paranoid every day.

My experience with 7.6.1 and Tiger on my LAN is that with the downloads and instructions from System7Today the 7.6.1 system will connect to Tiger just fine, but the 7.6.1 machine needs Shareway IP installed for the Tiger system to connect to it.

If you're looking for IIfx Ram, I have 4 1MB sticks that are excess and would go pretty cheap. These are the real 64 pin IIfx Simms that were working the last time I had them in my IIfx and would be tested again before leaving here. Of course, shipping to Australia is not cheap.

Thanks. I had a few extension conflicts that were causing other problems and Conflict Catcher found them, but it now says there are no conflicts. So I dunno. But you may well be correct; this machine has over 150 extensions. Mactracker lists 40 Mhz as bus speed for some 9500's and since this...

For the PPC gurus here: Is the 9500 bus speed controlled by the CPU card or is there another oscillator? I can't seem to find any osc cans on some of the MB's here, hence the question. Another, perhaps related, question. I have a 9500/132 with a Sonnet 800MHz G4 card and a 10/100 ethernet...

Thanks to both of you for the advice. I finally gave up on the ST15150 as a chain end device and put an ST34371WC with a 50 pin adapter there, and the ST 15150 is in the middle of the chain. All is well with that configuration. The only 50 pin terminator I have is one of the Centronics 50...

It's an ST15150N. I've tried jumpering termination enable alone, term power from drive alone, and both together with no luck. Also, a drive that works fine at chain end in the 8600 exhibits the same problem in the 9500. I tried a different ribbon cable in the 9500, no change. The drives all...

Thanks for the help. The drive works if it's not the last device on the chain, so it's obviously a termination problem. I have the pin diagram from the Seagate site but have not hit on the right combination of jumpers yet. Gave up for tonight but will have another look at it tomorrow. If...

A 9500/150 here, a known good HD installed internally , the machine gets to the happy Mac and goes no further. The same drive in an external enclosure connected to the external SCSI bus, the machine boots right up. New mobo installed, nothing changes. With the HD in the external enclosure and...

Thanks to Orion, I recently got an 8600/200 with a 270MHz G3, 192 MB Ram, and two huge (physically) 4GB HD's. It now has 240MB and OS 9.1 on one of the drives and runs great. Also from Orion, a 9500/150 with 128MB, no HD, and a 16" Apple monitor. And 15 (I think) ADB keyboards, a handful of...

Thanks. I wasn't going to worry about it too much, since they obviously work.

One interesting (to me) tidbit: neither one of these 8600's has a ROM Simm in the slot, yet they boot right up. I always thought there had to be a ROM, but obviously don't understand many things about Macs.

Well, here's what's currently on the 8600's: No. 1--8600/300 with the 604eMach V card, 288 MB Ram, 4 GB Quantum Fireball with OS 9.1 and a 1.2 GB Quantum Fireball with OS 7.6.1. No. 2--8600/200 with 270MHz G3, 240 MB Ram, 4 GB Seagate HD with OS 9.1. Apple Extended II keyboards on both. The...

Thanks for the help. That is a slick case design!

A dumb question for the group. I've got a couple of 8600's here and need to get at the mobo to upgrade ram, but can't figure out how to get that side of the case open. Opening the PCI side of the case is trivial, but the other side??

I've had the same sort of problem recently and the cause was SCSI ID conflicts. If you have any other SCSI devices on the same bus check the ID's.

Good haul! I didn't realize 7.1 on 800K floppies was rare; I gave my set away to someone in Australia a few months ago.

How much for ADB mice?

That's not quite the same as what my iMac DV was doing, but mine turned out to be a MB problem. Have you tried an external monitor, and if so, what result? Finally, if you think it might be the PAV board, I have a good one that would go pretty cheaply.
