    Realtek RTL8139D PCI Network Card Compatible with a PowerMac 6500?

    There are CSII cards with the Digital 21040 chip as well. I've got one, but no longer have anything to install it in. It appears that these work in the 6500 - https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/power-mac-6500-audio-in-beos/12481 (the problem there is no sound in BeOS, but the CSII card's ethernet...

    Need help deciphering my Macintosh Portable Sad Mac Code

    Thanks desertrout, and thank you also for sharing the schematics way back then - it really helped and I literally could not have sorted this without them. :)

    PowerBook 520 screen question

    I've previously shipped a couple of items to Canada, and if you get the right person at the Fedex store (or wherever) its only a few minutes longer to send it off, than to somewhere in the US. I recall that a correct description of the item was key.

    Definitive listing of Beige G3 models/features?

    Ouch! That was my opinion when I happened to be collecting some other items from a fellow 68lmla-er a few years back, but he had a minitower that he was offering for a good price and it has been a terrific machine. Its not overly large, and works as a great bridge machine, replacing the 7600 I...

    Fair price to sell non-booting MacPortable M5126

    Since your initial ask was to place a fair price, and you've done a great job communicating what you have over a couple of posts, let me sum up (and please correct me if I misstate) You seem to have all the original items (case w/ all four case feet, shoulder strap) the original extras and...

    Need help deciphering my Macintosh Portable Sad Mac Code

    I guess three years counts as a necro-response, so here goes... the short version is androda was right - totally NMI related. First, I had to re-recap the board, which included serious cleaning. During the cleanup, I dislodged a transistor with serious corrosion and had to clean/re-tin the...

    Fondest memories: - Eating late at night, with my brother at the Denny's, so I could show him the Metrowerk's Pascal book I had just gotten - because all the real Macintosh programmers used Pascal, right? Good times... Thanks for taking me back.

    Fondest memories: - Going to the Apple dealer in town and playing with the Macintosh Portable display model. There was no way you could afford it, but it was SO cool to use it, even just for a little while.

    Fondest memories: - Stopping in to work at the the university library computer lab - at least a dozen AT&T PCs (the amber screens were so cool!) and the same number of Mac SEs, all brand new and AppleTalk networked to a couple of LaserWriters (the original monster-sized ones).

    It was great to be around then - and I miss that time so much. Don't get me wrong, its great to have what's available to us now, but its almost like having three channels of television and then getting cable TV, now you have 250 channels, but you can still only watch one.

    Duo 250 - Original caps (or not)?

    That's an excellent idea - I totally overlooked the opportunity to re-recap! I was overly concerned with whether or not there would be leaking and totally missed that, thanks! :)

    Duo 250 - Original caps (or not)?

    Thanks mdeverhart! I suspected as much, but thank you for taking a look. I also checked out the MacDat site and there are apparently no caps that need to be handled on the LCD, so I am going to button this one back up (I replaced the Li battery some time back) and move on to my other Duo.

    Video died on a working Macintosh IIx

    If it did eat through a trace, maybe it was nearly eaten through and that last bit (a few microns?) was eaten away, shook apart, etc. I'm assuming when you tested the video card in the other machine that you used the same monitor (confirming both the video card and the monitor). I recently had...

    Duo 250 - Original caps (or not)?

    I was finally ready to recap my Duo 250 and when I opened it, the caps already appear to have been replaced!! (either that or they did a really mediocre job of installing the original ones) I have plenty else to do if these are replacements. (recapping the screen is next). Is there anyone...

    Where to find a 28 Pin PLCC male plug?

    Here is the (untested) 3D model one that I found, during my search... it might be better than starting from scratch. https://www.printables.com/model/1166238-plcc-test-plug/files

    Advice on Mac Portable selling?

    I saw this and found it funny, purely because this is what I paid for the last one (portable) I bought, around 10 or so years ago.

    Where to find a 28 Pin PLCC male plug?

    Instead of contacting them today, I wrote them last night. Earlier today they had it fixed and I was able to order it! Fantastic customer service! - and terrific advice, zigzagjoe!

    Where to find a 28 Pin PLCC male plug?

    Thanks for the reply, if I can't find something readymade, I will go the 3D route (I already found an 'untested' file out there that I could use as a beginning). I was thinking that as well - I will contact them tomorrow. Thanks for giving me a push on that. :)

    Where to find a 28 Pin PLCC male plug?

    What I have found are things like this... I would buy the one they have to experiment with, but the min quantity to purchase is 10, so this one that they have, cannot be bought. I've seen too many of these catch22s looking for parts.
