Do not use super glue on the CPU! Just stick to themal adhesive, thats mroe then enough to keep a heatsink on. I got an RC revision 25Mhz CPU on my Performa 475 and that's been held on for years. Keep us posted on your 33Mhz mod, I would love to see how it is done, I might try it myself if I...

I have to say that im shocked that nobody even in this day and age has worked out some sort of 54kbps ADSL to Ethernet solution for going on the internet/networking on such things like Dreamcast's since the broadband adapter is an outright joke of a price... It would be really handy for old...

Il give it a go later on, all my retro Mac stuff is stored away for the time being but if you could hold onto it il let you know when it's all set up and ready. Is that ok with you?

You forgot the one that splits in 2 which is my fave but otherwise its the M0116 for me.

Forgive my stupidity but how do I go about doing that? I have never downloaded anything by this method before.

I got a bit of a dilemma for old hardware drivers atm for a couple of machines. Il start with the Sonnet G3 upgrade. I currently have it installed in my 6100/66 PowerMac, although I can find the product on the website (only difference is mine has a black heatsink rather then a purple one) I...

Ah that would explain why it didn't boot with one installed. I had tried anotherr PSU and it is still the same issue. I guess all that's left is to clean the contacts... :-/

Thanks LC_575, if it is a PSU issue il let you know. :)

Congrats, I just bought a IIvx on the feeBay a couple of days ago, I can tell you that I paid ALOT more then you did you lucky whatsit. :p Any pictures?

Thanks trag for the comprehensive response. |) That's a great idea about cleaning the contacts, I should have thought of it before! I'm certain I got some old floppy cleaning solution (about 93% icy I think) so that should do the job. As for the caps, they look pretty nice at close...

I had the same issue on my SE/30, sadly its a pretty broad range that could be wrong but chances are its the caps or the logic board at fault.

I only tried with sets of 4 identical SIMM's and it gives the chimes of death. Tried pairs just in case with the same result.

Hmm, well this is odd. I got some non-parity RAM for my Macintosh IIsi and it appears to still be complaining with the 'chimes of death'. I've tried different sticks, different capacities, even paraty RAM just to be sure and all the same result. It boots just fine with none installed (well it...

NEAT! So it acts as a sortof very plain accelerator. :) Il have to look out for a 16Mhz FPU.

Hi all, I have this coax network card installed in my LCII and was wondering what that PLCC style socket was? It looks like the same sort of ones that hold a 68882 PLCC FPU. Can anybody shed some light onto this? P.s. Attached an image of a different Farallon card but fits the same models, it...

I got one of these too, quite heavily upgraded with 2 Hard drives (I forget the size), XLR8 400Mhz G3 card, ATi Rage, SCSI I card, 2 Port USB card and with OS9.2. Really powerful, can run Quake 3 Arena quite nicely though older Quakes are a breeze. Even Unreal Tornament runs ok if you turn the...

Well I hope it's ok to do this, a great friend of mine fixed up my SE/30 that went to novice soldering hell. He might also give you some advice if you got an AmiBay account to send a PM. http://amibay.com/showthread.php?t=11655
