That's good to hear! Thank you for the information. If it can boot from the ATA drive, it seems like a go to be used for storage. Out of curiosity, what does 7.6.1 make of the USB & Firewire aspects of the Trio card?

After a whole weekend of getting my long-dormant 8600 up and running with 7.6.1, all my programs, and tweaks, I installed a Texas Instruments calculator connection program. After the first restart, it was fine except that it wouldn't open the TI folder. Drive access was intense then nothing...

After years of being dormant, my 8600 is happily running 7.6.1 (and displayed via DVI). It is a fantastic machine that feels like a System 7 powerhouse. But on to my topic- I have a Sonnet ATA/133 PCI card that I would like to use with a OWC Legacy SSD. The manual states that 8.0 is the lowest...

Thanks, Byrd. I'll inspect the connections. It could use a cleaning regardless, I'm sure. Its strange: after resetting the power manager, it will boot just fine providing that I don't plug in the SCSI cable. Let's see what we find inside...

Could this be a capacitor issue? My 550c was running fine. I ran Apple Personal Diagnostics and no errors were reported. I shut down, plugged in my AppleCD 600 (with the Apple-branded PowerBook SCSI cable) and rebooted. All is fine- the computer starts, CD comes right up on the desktop, we're...

Two (or three) procedures come to mind: 1) PRAM reset (although it could be moot if you don't get the chime at all) 2) Power manager reset type 1: Remove all power, wait 3-5 minutes, then connect AC but it sounds like the second mode might be more useful. 3) With a paperclip, hold down both...

insaneboy, I'm sorry that I didn't see this sooner. Wow! That's quite a nicely spec'd IIci. Do you still have it? I have a RasterOPS 24XLTV for it along with an accelerated Radius card. I'm curious to see what dual screen 7.6 is like although one of the Apple monitors has lost its center focus...

A half-dead battery is probably what the PRAM batt. has become in both machines. Thank you for your help. I'll be able to get it out next weekend and I'll post how it goes.

Ah! Thank you, Jeremy. Now that you mention it, it does act odd when powered for the first time in a while. It will boot instantly when power is supplied (battery or AC) without pressing the power button. The PRAM battery is in a tough spot to get to. Do you know if this is a machine that...

On my quest to fix all the Macs on my list, I've come to my two 2400c PowerBooks with the same issue, intermittent backlight. Every other cold boot or wake from sleep results in the display functioning (with direct light I can see the display) but without backlight. I've run through all the...

Thank you, trag. With the board out, it will be easy to check for the soldered chips. Much appreciated! I don't think it is an unusual early model. It was a clean eBay find when platinum Macs didn't command an inflated sum. I have a Sonnet G3 for it. Should the cache DIMM also be missing, I...

With the arrival of a SCSI2SD, my 8500 is ready to be put back together except for one thing...I seem to have misplaced the ROM SIMM. I did take it apart three years ago and stalled out on the project, but I am kicking myself for misplacing it. As these cases are a bear to fiddle with, I haven't...

Thank you, elbaroni. Well said. I suppose that holding your breath waiting to hear the right noises is part of the conquest fun. At least when the problem is finally solved. Its good to be back. I hope to keep my 68k momentum going.

First of all, its wonderful to see 68kMLA alive and well. It has been a little over four years since I last posted/visited. I accumulated far too many 68k & PPC projects than I had time for but as of late, I'm making progress. Its good to be back. On to the abridged IIci story. In 2008, I...

Thanks again, rsolber. I'll get in touch with Uniserver. techknight, I believe it. Silly thin seems to have moved from fashion models to consumer computers. Having seen how thin the new Mac laptops are, I'm not surprised they are all glued together. Bleck, I'll take a serviceable ThinkPad from...

Thanks, rsolberg. That's right, I almost forgot. A SLC card would fit the need perfectly. Handy that they tend to come in sizes workable with System 7. As for board recapping and replacing backlights, do you know of anyone around here who offers that service?

Robbing my 180 had come to mind but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It does make sense, since I can't use it without the external monitor. As for the Artimix: I didn't know about those. I checked out their specs on eBay- an interesting card. You would recommend that over the CF AztecMonster...

My much loved 180 has succumb to tunnel vision and is now used with an external display. Still wanting to take a 1xx around with me, I was given a very nice 180c with a few goodies: system disks, VST ThinPack, and a snazzy case. The 180c is in nice condition save for an annoying trackball but...

Just in case you might check the forum again, I thought I would answer some of your questions. I have actually read about people having success baking their LCD panel, although not long lasting success. I don't remember the temp but I think it was 160F or so. If the moisture could be evacuated...

To save my credibility, I just realized that it couldn't have a Pismo board since the I/O & reset methods are very much Wallstreet.
