Thats a bright idea protocol7, I might try Slackintosh or Ubuntu8, are you aware of a video ROM dump utility for one of those? I'm not what you would call a command line addict, btw. :-)

All right, I´ll put 10.3.9 on my "To Do" list. I know the iMac is supposed to run it, but it will be a pain with only little RAM. Don´t expect a result soon please - maybe someone else chimes in? There must be some Bondi blue´s still in operation with a newer OSX.

I did not care to run OSX on my iMacs, is there a OS9 utility too to grab the video rom? I guess I could make Jaguar run on the iMac, but ATIccelerator II claims 10.3.9 as a minimum, so it would be a long term project rather and I would need some old version of ATIccelerator.

I had installed 10.6.3 on a Asus EeePC 1001HA recently. Obviously it can be done with the Netbookinstaller/Netbook bootmaker packages. BasiliskII and SheepShaver were installed on the fly as usual with OSX. SS´s performance on OS9 or 7.6 wasn´t even that bad, booting was rather fast...

Hello, I just realized, that I should probably exchange my HackMac´s backup drive, because of the not so desirable Tech Tool report. Thinking of HDD´s it might be a good idea to know whats going on with my Classic Macs too. I have been using SUM and Norton with my old Macs, but I wonder if...

Good to know you made it. I seem to have misunderstood the issue a bit. :-) Cant say the 7500 was a favourite of mine. My System used to crash several times a day, even after swapping some hardware: RAM, SCSI, CPU daughterboard. One of those dreadful "Monday logicboards" ,I presume.

Are you in need for the ROM file still? I have both logic boards that were sold as iMac Bondi blue (one operating iMac G3/233), but no idea how to dump the graphics ROM, I´m afraid.

How is the G3 upgrade installed physically? I recall I removed my stock 601 card from the 7500 to exchange it for a 604 upgrade. So my 7500 only had one cpu to boot from. For the Centris650 I had a 601 cpu upgrade to be installed in addition to the 68040. Therefore it came with a init/control...

Its the one in the left bottom corner for sure, jt. Do you recall if it was of German origin maybe? VDO was once well known for speed meters in cars, but they made many other stuff as well. Could be just a name play on video though, vee dee oh :-) I have some jumperless adapters too, which...

I would not call myself an expert, but from my understanding of physics, a digitally driven device like TFT subunits will either work or not work. A TFT will not degrade in the way the CRTs did. If you get dead subpixels, you´ll easily discover them. The backlight is another story, I never saw...

Thanks all for your answers, you are the greatest! Of course there´s no sticker on the bottom and no manufacturer - would have been too simple, I presume. As my setting corresponds well with Trash80toHP_Mini´s scans for Ultra VGA 75Hz, I´m rather sure it must be the one. I´ll try the other...

Good to hear from you again, really! And thanks for those builds, guess there´s noway for me not to try them soon.

Well done pictures! Guess I have some very similar boxes with SQ555 drives. Those cases were quite common, until 1995 maybe? I should really look for a free image hosting service...

Hello, can you help me with this little bugger please? http://www.mediafire.com/?5kpdwgyf34cy81p As it is set now it works with my 7100´s AV card displaying 1024x768 pixel. I really would like to know what the other settings do, but the info got lost somehow. I hope you don´t mind my...

If you have no 3,6 Li's ready, a 9V block should provide trickle power to your psu too, if you want to check if batteries are the problem. Should be easy enough to meter your old batteries too. About the board cleaning, how do you feel about isopronanol? Best wishes!

I had a similar issue with my MacII about ten years ago. Soldered in two new batteries, but that did not help. I located the problem in so far, as the trickle voltage from the batteries did not reach the psu. Starting the psu with a seperate battery did work, but I gave up there. :-(
