Again, thank you H3nry for your assistance. I've tried Mode 5 VGA 640x480 - separate sync. Result: green screen. I've tried Mode 5 on other resolutions: same old story. Either no image or green screen. I have even found another DB15/VGA adaptor with 6 dip switches and tried all the combinations...

H3nry, thanks for trying to help. The monitor has no apparent way to accept sync on green. I've navigated the On-Screen-Display menu and explored every possible setting, but most of them are related to screen geometry, position, colour temperature, moiré, degauss, contrast, brightness. The...

Folks, I'm coming back to the barracks after a long hiatus, in the hope that someone can point me towards a solution. The problem: I wanted to put a newish CRT monitor to good use by connecting it to my trusty Quadra 950. It's not an Apple monitor, so I used a DB15 Male to HD15 Female 10 DIP...

Downloading now. Thank you very much, equill and wackymacs! :D Cheers, Rick

The latter would be optimal, but I think we're being too ahead of the times, heh heh. Could you upload those 299MB somewhere, please? Site-wise, what's ok for you will surely be ok for me. Thanks in advance for your time! Cheers, Rick

Hi folks! I'm doing some research on the software production of MetaCreations Corp. (ex MetaTools) and its innovative user interface. I already own Bryce, Painter, KPT Tools (regularly paid or old versions obtained when they were released free, such as Bryce 4) but I can't seem to find Kai's...

Hats off to you, Patrick. This is amazing. Do keep us posted. Cheers! Rick

Felicitations! It is indeed a nice conquest. Cheers Rick

You either want a PowerBook G3 Lombard/Pismo or a 12-inch PowerBook G4. Cheers, Rick

No. I recently acquired a Titanium PowerBook G4/400 that wouldn't boot, and the problem was a dead PRAM battery. I disconnected it, closed the PowerBook, pressed the power button and it booted just fine. So now it's running with the PRAM battery disconnected and there are no issues, apart from...

Mine as well, sadly. I'll soon try with another AC adapter and see what happens. The original AC adapter used to warm up a little when the PowerBook 100 was fine, but since the PowerBook started manifesting this issue, the adapter concurrently has become stone cold. Or vice-versa. xx(...

Yes, the spacebar is the power button on the PowerBook 100. I, too, have one -- with 6 MB RAM! -- and I love it. But at the moment it seems more dead than alive. After months of undefined issues, I narrowed it down to a faulty power adapter. But a PowerBook 170 is on its way from Canada, and has...

Tough one indeed. At first I thought "I would open it and use it, taking good care of it just like with all the Mac hardware I already own". But then I thought: it would also look too new to go with my hardware of similar vintage, heh heh. So, I'd probably end up re-selling it for a slightly...

Ah, this story reminds me of a guy I met at a used-equipment fair who wanted to sell me a Macintosh IIcx and an Apple CD-ROM 300 for the rough equivalent of 250 dollars. They didn't look good and on closer inspection they were both suspiciously stinky. When I opened the IIcx the rust inside was...

First thing you should do: run an antivirus. Usually Disinfectant 3.7.1 is enough for a 68K cold. Cheers Rick

My main machine is its faster brother, the PowerBook 12" (DVI) at 1 GHz. I absolutely love it and I won't let it go when I buy a new MacBook unibody. Actually, I plan to get a new battery and AC adapter for it, and also a bigger hard drive. I think you did a good job on your recent conquest :)...

Thanks guys -- I knew I could count on you. :) Rick

Hi Folks! I wanted to eliminate some desktop clutter, so I decided to move my iSight, which is placed on the desktop facing up at me, and to put it on my 20-inch LCD monitor. I searched in the iSight box for a good stand, and since I don't want to attach anything sticky to the monitor, I opted...

I voted System 7, my favourite Mac OS version being 7.6.1. But I love Mac OS X too, of course. Rick

Never mind. This morning I had an eureka moment. I opened the TiBook, disconnected the optical drive, lifted it a little, enough to see the PRAM battery connector. I then disconnected it, and closed the TiBook. Then I plugged the AC adapter in, pressed the power button and it booted. [:)]...
