I have the same model but with a dedicated video card and I'm quite pleased with it. It's a great machine and does bootcamp and parallels fairly well. Congrats.

Congrats, I had the option of picking up at Presario with no processor and emachine with one and it would've been a lot less hassle to pick up the Presario and buy a used AMD processor. They're solid machines with good driver support. The Emachine was a nightmare.

On the tray loaders the two limitations are that the OS has to be on the first partition which is 8gb or less, the second is the mac can't recognize the full capacity of a HD if it's over 137gb.

You could whip something up in Hypercard. Or use JPEGView to open an image converted to BW in Photoshop. You should be able to go full screen using JPEGview, the resolution you want is 640x480.

See if you can get one working unit. From there see if the problems are related to one specific component. The G3 iMacs commonly bad flyback transformers which would allow the computer to boot but nothing show on screen. Once you get one working machine you can swap motherboards and see if...

Custom paint job with flames with Rammstein cranked. Feuer Frei! Haben sie ein Deutschen playlist?.

The T's are very nice. I picked up a T20 to fix a T21 I had. Turns out the T21 is quite messed so I just swapped the processors and heat sinks and now I have a T20 with 800mhz processor. This T20 beats my old IBM 390x with a broken hinge in so many ways. Congrats on the Sun, I hear they're...

Does it have communist sympathies? :lol:

Could it be a heat problem?

I believe he's referencing the the classic enemy of 68k mac, the IBM PC running MS DOS. But in the end IBM helped make PPC processors for the newer macs. Don't worry, IBM does have some loyal fans, just ask anyone if they'd rather the Thinkpad X300 or a MacBook Air. I like IBM manuals because...

I'm closer to Cabbagetown and I've never seen good stuff out in the trash. What I've got was an Atari ST and LC 575. But the LC was UofT territory (Bloor) and on a snowbank.

I've only given away, somebody scooped a broken athlon machine and bunch of parts that resembled a PB 170 almost instantly.

I'd think ram trouble. If you have trouble with two different OS's I'd say it's hardware. Since you have to format for linux, I'd say ram. See if you can run OS 9 on it and there's a free ram checker program. Somebody should be able to name the program.

Is anyone else thinking "Get that out of the Sun! you'll yellow the plastic" ?

Mr MacMan, that's why they pay you the big bucks. I swapped it onto a MDD we have around and it works perfectly! I'm taking it for sure. 22" is quite a striking size. It was the MDD that was the trouble the whole time, and I tried the cuda button but no luck.

Oh it's the LCD version not the CRT. You know what, I forgot about the MDD being the problem, I'm quite sleepy. Thanks for the quick reply though Mr. Mac-Man. If I'm Mac-Man6 and are you MacMan Zero?

I have been offered broken 22" apple cinema, the old white tripod type with the ADC connector. I found the service manual but haven't had time to troubleshoot. I remember a couple months ago when it was hooked up to a MDD nothing would display and I think there were no chimes at start up ...

External raid tower built with cheap usb sticks. FW and SCSI connector. Even better, flash disk made with that really cheap DDR2 ram with an IDE/SCSI connector. There's a PCI card already out made by Gigabyte but it uses the more expensive DDR(1?) ram.

The siren came from the hard drive. I took out the drive and put it in an enclosure. The hard drive was an old IBM Travelstar 2.5" drive.
