This exercise is much better than evening english classes! ;-) I copied your sentence from the first message and I thought to have learnt a new verb: "to wedge" as a synonym for to pry! By the way the action is not similar to a wedge as the two parts of the clamps for small movements (2 to...

thanks a lot, I was pretty sure of this term since I got it from the Techworks manual! I will amend and replace with "clamp". The only thing is that clam is associated with clamping while the tool is actually used to wedge the two halves apart. Ben Ps, time to translate the second part too...

indeed!

I noticed that apple part # for dual 2.0 GHz (2003) and dual 2.7 (early 2005) is the same, is it possible to swap them? Ben

thanks, indeed i fixed the pb160. ben

Took both thing apert: same part #, so I can conclude that 145/160/165 snare the same LCD. Ben

I did the transplant, it works at 16 greys, so we can assume the PB 145b LCD can display greys, and the 1 bit limit is a limit of the video chip of the 140/145/145b/170 boards. Unfortunately there are some artifacts and eccessive gosting but I cannot test this 145b LCD on the 145b since the...

I recall the cards being OHCI, actually I have two Keyspan cards, both works on the G3 beige with Apple extensions but none of them works on the 7600, I tried all slots! Ben

I noticed that some vendors list a generic lcd for the PBs 145/145b/160/165, does it mean that I can transplant the good of an otherwise busted 145b onto the 160 and get the 4 bit? Ben

thanks for the suggestion, indeed I have 2 kayspan FW: both workon the G3 beige with Apple extensions, none works on the 7600. I tried all PCI slots. Yesterday I plugged them on the G3 B&W, OS X 10.3: system profiler sees them but no HDs are mounted, pretty weird. BTW, after removing the...

Ireinstalled OS 9 on both macs, up to 9.1: now the G3 sees the card while the heavily upgraded 7600 still doesen't. Any hints? The FW cards are Keyspan, is it possible that the 7600 requires specific extensions, while the G3 can see the card with Apple FW extensions? Ben

thanks, but these two cards used to work when I put te two Mac in the basement two years ago... same computers, same configurations etc... Today I did a clean install of OS 9, no way... while the USB works. System profiler does recognizes the cards, it is quite strage. Ben

suddenly a POwerMac 7600 with G4 Sonnet Crescendo and a bige G3 desktop stopped recognizing external FW hard drives. I do not recall if I ever connected an external FW HD after upgrading to Mac OS 9.2.2 (it requires a specifc strategy as the installer does not allow to instal 9.2.2 on these...

yes they spin, and try to load the previous system (i recall 7.5.5), thet are ok as they come from a lot of 3 powerbooks 180 that I had left in a closet for a repair project (all three had the tunneling syndrome). this last Easter vacation I decide to use the 180s to gey parts for the 185c...

thnks, Ben, I notice that we have a collection that dates since the Classic... I will try, but I have tried also third parts, such as HDT and even drive setup and the OS X disk utility (powermac G3 wit scsi card) the drives are indeed apple rom stuff Bem

I tried almost everything (from HD SCSI setup, to drive setup, to HDT up to version 4. These HDs won't initialize. I tried also with the PB 180c connected in SCSI disk mode to a B&W G3, same error: Initialization faIled. Any suggestion? Ben

we are waiting for those picts and info! Ben

This unit has the blue screen syndrome which is generally caused by leaking electrolitic surface mount caps (for my experience this is true for b/w LCD): I took apart the display but there are no surface mont caps, any idea? Ben

I have one (a Techworks 68030 at 40 MHz, sold by Sonnect) since 1995, this is the original web page that I made, I am translating into english so far I have translated 50%, enjoy: http://www.webalice.it/beniamino.cenci.goga/68k/Macintosh_Classic_XLR8d.html Ben
