I would try to be quite sure that there isn’t a small scrap of paper, like a corner of a page, stuck somewhere in the mechanism. What you describe is how the LaserWriters of my acquaintance, like the 4/600, are apt to behave when a little piece of torn paper gets left behind after a paper jam...

You could also try “Rubber Renue” or an automotive rubber reconditioner on the rollers. This has worked for me on old laser printers with paper feed trouble.

Yes, of course. The one you have has its advantages — above all the ability to use the 601 card as well. On the cache question, you will know more than me, given your background. My understanding is that the cache holds data and instructions just outside the CPU so that it does not need to be...

Interesting stuff. Some time back I searched in vain for what must have been years for an 040 PDS cache card. In the end I came up with a Daystar Quad 040 PDS card (40mhz and I think 128k on said card), where there have been no stability implications at all running in a Q650, or before that, in...

Would X.3 Server work, does anyone know?

The Micromac product included an adapter board (soldered onto the new logic board), which converted the edge connector. So what you are talking about is not a simple DIY solution. I happen to have the Micromac upgrade pictured. It is destined for eBay, as my LC575 fell to pieces, I was moving...

Apple Internet Router is very stable and, as I recall, runs on any 68020/30/40 with LocalTalk and Ethernet. Don’t know how stably it would run on a 6100, though, because I think you’d want to be running it on the back of System 7.1. Just because I had nice examples that I wanted a use for, I...

Fat Cursors is your friend. https://www.macintoshrepository.org/25630-fat-cursors#:~:text=What%20is%20Fat%20Cursors%3F,Fat%20Cursors%20v1.

I have a vague recollection that I once transplanted one from a 17” ACD display onto a 20”. Never had occasion to try it on a 23” model.

There’s more than one layer in the screen. I believe that I have some examples of the bottom layer here (NOS). I’ve probably got three or four of them. If it’s one of those you need, send me a note. I didn’t see this auction, but have been keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced 2100 with a...

No idea about the plastics, sorry. In your position I’d persevere, however, as I liked the look of the eMac about a thousand times more than those of the G3 iMac. I couldn’t stand those things back when they came out, and still can’t. For some reason, the eMac does not for me hold the same...

I really don’t get the hate for the G5 within this group. All our old machines have limitations, geez! Looking at the pics, these particular machines were all reliable models, they all run quietly, they look good, they can all run Classic, they can take large RAM complements, they can take sata...

There is an old trick, which may be relevant as your batteries seem to be in pretty good nick. Freeze your batteries overnight. Return to room temperature, recharge, and cycle a few times from full to absolutely empty using Battery Recondition or a similar (NiMH) battery utility of the period...

I’ve been thinking about my comments above, and feel I ought on reflection to say that while I would prefer that the source was closer to home, I still appreciate those zillions of Chinese workers and companies making such stuff. I don’t like their government much, but that’s a separate matter...

As for the boards themselves, the widget pricing anomaly mentioned is surely the equivalent of the “dumping” of all the more obvious products such as phones, steel, ships, shoes, etc. in Western markets so as eventually to dominate said markets. This is pretty much the standard strategy and is...

Perhaps the video card just needs to be re-seated, i.e., re-installed properly. It is possible that some of the pins were misaligned earlier, especially if this is a G5 with an AGP slot (which included USB-related pins).

The 9600/200 was a 604e-based machine more or less the same as the 9500 — only a later iteration, and thus modestly improved over the 9500. I think, for instance, that its cache was expandable, and that you’d be far likelier to get a 233mhz 604e card (rare) running stably in it than you would in...

I am no expert in the PB1xx series, so correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it possible to swap the processor card from, say, a 160 into a 140 and thus get a speed bump?
