When I was boxing things up to put stuff in storage, I dug 3 Mac Plus's out of a closet and tried to turn each one on. One by one, they all turned on, and came up to the blinking disk icon with the question mark. I thought "okay, at least they all still work". So, I hoped on my 9600 and quickly...

Hmmmm.. I mean, it could have been a coincidence that both boards died the same way (and other users reporting abnormal operation), but I'm just not willing to trust that G4 in my 3rd motherboard ( They're getting a little rare now-a-days ) I think I'm probably going to sell it, no idea why I...

This thread might be a little old, but I just wanted to add that all G5's, and any Macintosh's made from about 2004-2006 are going to be defective. The primary reason is the capacitors on the motherboard. When I worked for apple in those years, they (apple), HP, and Dell decided to use the...

Hello, I've been away for awhile. Anyway, I came across this thread and this guys slowly progressing problems sound exactly like what happened to my 9600 a little while ago. My setup was: 9600/350 1 Ghz Sonnet G4 512MB ram 36GB wide scsi drive Ati 9200 video card. When I first installed...

Use to have this problem on CRT monitors when using certain adapters, or having the refresh rate set to a rate the monitor could not deal with. Problem was fixed by simply changing the refresh rate to stand VGA (60hz), or usually 72, or 75hz at 640x480.

I'm curious where you come up with this stuff. Look in the other thread about this same issue. I posted a screenshot of a 40gb IDE drive formatted in HFS(not HFS+) and it uses all 40gb's(well 38. something) HFS has no known limit as well as HFS plus. IDE and bus protocols are SEPARATE from file...

The limit is 4TB's, not 128gig's. If need be, I'll install and format a 160gb IDE drive just to prove the point :p

So long as you are using 8, you can use pretty much any hard drive you want. I've heard of incompatibilities with certain models, but for the most part that "incompatibility" has been user error. Seagate 40GB ATA 133 installed in my frankenstein 6200 right now running just fine. In fact, I don't...

Isn't that model number "M2943" for the defective 15" apple multiscan displays? Stay away... FAR away from them as well as the 1710's I have a 1705 and it has never given me a problem (crosses fingers).

Most old world power sensing mac's(keyboard power on button) will not boot without a good CMOS battery. I too have a IIFX and have had it not boot after a while in storage, took the old batteries out, popped in new ones, and back to life it came. I love hearing that 40 mb 5-1/2" spin up. It is...

:lol:

I'm gonna try the hack job route for the moment, 9500 motherboard. Not worried about the PSU issues or CPU(since I'm going to be running my 1ghz G4 sonnet card). The 9600 board is clean, no caps have leaked anywhere. The on board SCSI chip is simply fried. and unfortunately it is integrated into...

Where do you guys find these "recyclers"? Are there any in VA? :-/ Awesome finds!

WoOt! I won one of the items I have been looking for, for a while. 1 used Powermac 6360 for $36.65 ;D Hopefully it arrives in good shape, but so long as the powersupply functions, I dont really care about the rest at the moment. Next is a Powermac 6500/300 Logicboard replacement for it...

Hmmmm.. I redownloaded them on my PC first, burnt them to CD, and then stuck it on my mac, wala the files uncompressed and were recognized as applications. Interesting.

Thank you, but as I mentioned their driver database is corrupted. Their drivers are simply copies from newertech :-/

I need to get my hands on the Newertech MAXPower G3 PDS 1.0.3 driver. The copies from Newertech and emac sales are both corrupt. EIther they were compressed on a PC and the data fork was lost(or was it resource fork, whatever the invisible file is that ID's the application), or they were...

At the time the LC575 was released the maximum memory size per SIMM was at 32MB's Today you can purchase SIMM's of 128mb's

Ram yes, changing it out did not work, one of the first things I did. Was using 4x 128mb dimms, interleaved. Battery is full 3.6v. El Nino? lol

Hello again. I am still searching for a reason as to why my Kansas 9600 logicboard bit the dust a few months ago. I ran this machine since new, almost 12 years(or more) of service with no issues at all. Installed a 36GB Seagate SCA drive a few years back with an SCA to 50 pin SCSI adapter...
