If the drive's in an external enclosure, does it behave the same way if it's not connected to the Mac? Does the Mac have the requisite extension installed to read the CD-ROM and its filesystem?

I agree the spontaneous powerering on, shutting down, and attempt to sleep is probably related to the power button sensitivity issue. The message about not a being able to sleep is something else I think. If the system still won't sleep, or you experience other power-related issues, I think...

Glad to hear you made it out the other side of Irma. Hats off to you for your public service. In this age of pervasive infrastructure-based communication, the public doesn't always realise the importance of point-to-point communication and HAM operators until an event or disaster disrupts or...

It might be a typo, but I thought it was worth noting that board needs DIMMs, not SIMMs. Common 3.3v 168-pin PC100 (or PC133) SDRAM is what you'll need. Make sure it's explicitly PC100 or 133 since EDO and FPM RAM also came in a similar looking but mechanically incompatible 168-pin DIMM, and...

Another good bet is the Radeon 9200 Mac Edition AGP. It's well supported in 9.2.2 and definitely supports 1920x1200 output over DVI or VGA: https://web.archive.org/web/20070221042506/http://ati.amd.com:80/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html As for using AGP 8x cards in earlier slots...

The fact it's benchmarking higher than the Samsung 840 EVO is quite surprising to me.

Trash, I opened up my G3 desktop to snap a few pictures of the Whisper card and found this horror: (It was promptly removed) Here's the Whisper personality card: This board doesn't seem to have any provision for a phone jack connector adjacent to the knockout. It doesn't appear...

I'm pretty certain you'll find an aftermarket SCSI card attached to that connector. The card will probably be clipped onto the pins of the 68000 CPU, or it might be connected with soldered leads.

The PowerBook 500 series with PPC upgrade card was an officially supported configuration by Apple, so all support required should be built into Mac OS 8.1 already. If you had the 183MHz Newer Tech card with 128KB cache, then you'd probably need the NuPower Cache software, but otherwise, I think...

Perhaps "handful" is a better quantitative adjective. Five 74-series ICs, two PROMs, a NE556 timer, and a sprinkling of passive components.

I thought of the Woz angle too, but he wasn't directly involved in the design of the IWM- Wendell Sander was. Woz's original disk controller design used a whole bunch of discrete logic and requires a number of components on the card. Wendell's IWM integrates all of the logic of the card into a...

Editing the System file with ResEdit is relatively easy if you have another Mac that can boot into System 7-9. If you don't, I'll take a look in my archive. I made a System 7.5.5 boot floppy containing ResEdit and the mask file for the Gestalt IDs. I also edited the System file on Disk 1 of...

Have you performed a PMU (power management unit) reset yet? Here's Apple's instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT1431

Just in case you haven't come across it already in research, this document may be of interest: https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/documentation/iwm/apple2_IWM_Spec_Rev19_1982.pdf

Anodized coatings are actually very brittle and will also crack if the substrate is bent or dinged hard enough. The palm rest on my pre-unibody MacBook Pro is quite worn after ten plus years. I've considered trying to remove the anodized finish and polish the aluminum underneath, then clear...

Only the plate from the tray needs removing.

Yes, PC drives work fine. You'll want to use a drive of equal or lesser depth compared to the original. Usually in Tiger and later, there are no issues with burning support with 3rd party drives. In Panther and earlier, a patch is required to burn discs from the Finder and iLife with some...

How about a FireWire PCI card and a FireWire audio interface?

I've been using Artic Silver Ceramique for a few years with good results. I follow the directions on Artic Silver's web site- they suggest different application methods for different model CPUs based on the heat spreader. (or lack thereof). I usually "tint" both surfaces as suggested to help...
