    PowerBook 180 is wildly unstable

    title, basically! The thing just doesn't seem to want to work for more than a few minutes at the time. Error type 10 and error type 28 seem to be the most common - when the thing bothers to display a code and not just a blank error window. It has a 4MB memory expansion. I'm using a RaSCSI...

    Getting external video output from a compact Mac

    What I'm trying to do here is, getting some sort of output from a classic mac. I assume all of them follow a sort of standardized from of output to their internal CRT. I haven't been able to find anything concrete. It's probably some weird old format that was seen as perfectly normal for back...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    well crap, all I have is 52x stuff. well my card does indeed have a VIA chip on it, so I guess I'm screwed until I find another one No. and I don't think I will. Nothing good would come of it, since it seems to me that most users who post there are from the US and since I live in Greece...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    OK... a recap to what I messed up this week - and the week isn't over yet: the CD-Drive wasn't reading stuff properly so I threw in a cleaning disk. It now doesn't read at all. The PowerMac 4400 floppy drive is possibly dead and keeps the thing from booting. Turns out a PCI-to-USB card I was...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    Thanks! I was just prowling through macintoshgarden myself and only managed to find floppy sets, which would be inconvenient. But for now I'm fine, I suppose. It works, boots into some version of something-older-than-MacOS-9 with no hiccoughs. There's also the whole "actually interfacing with...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    yes, actually. I bought a 3xAA battery holder, cut off the original cables from the battery, soldered them to the battery holder and presto, backup battery I found one locally... right after I resurrected my own! And the funniest thing, dude lived right across the street from me. Now I have a...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    I don't think the CD Drive is bad... if I remember correctly it worked on a PC I tried... but I'll try again just to be sure, I suppose. Couldn't the floppy drive be the issue though? I have no way of testing that. I also don't think I've got enough white vinegar to soak a board. I hope red...

    PowerMac 4400/200 chime but nothing else.

    So... I've got this PowerMac 4400/200 that I can't seem to get working. I've tested what I can (RAM, HDD and CD-ROM drive) and confirmed these parts work. I've measured each and every output of the PSU and they check out. I've replaced the PRAM battery too (although it's just a battery holder...
