hi mate, the IIsi has software start, CayMac offers a board to do the trick. Others here can describe a “do it yourself” board,

Hi @wottle , yes, I created the system myself. I'm a software engineering guy, now doing hands-on only at home, 'cause at work I just "power point" :) .. or better :( Anyhow, the system is very simple; not much development is involved, if any. For those who might be interested: - a Synology NAS...

@cheesestraws ... OMG ... yes they are two firewires, not DisplayPort... my bad, apologies :( I have not yet made an offer yet, it's working, OS 9.2 installed What is the small daughter card with lots of capacitors?

is it something rare? I'm not in the G3 really ....

Indeed... if living in the USA :)

To me, as long as the hard drives keep working, I won’t add a SCSI solid-state drive. The more original, the better. I use BlueSCSI or ZuluSCSI only for Macs whose hard drives no longer work. The spinning sound of a hard drive is a pleasant reminder of the good old times.

@Unknown_K , a video card had been added, as well as a 10Base-T network card. I'd love a cache, but as others mentioned they are pretty expensive and I've not found any reloaded projects.

... and both are perfectly working, still, for preservation reasons, I'll recap the LBs and ABs.

two new babies: LC475 + 7200/75 The 475 seems to be pristine!

I bought a Mac IIci with a surprisingly still-working Quantum 230 MB hard drive, and immediately made an image since it had MS Excel and MS Word installed. I recapped the logic board except for the axial capacitors. The PSU works fine and shows no bad capacitors, so I’m leaving it untouched...

thanks, can u please tell which resistors exactly? I have the same issue with a classic

@MBehr thanks — it took a couple of years of practice :) I believe my issue is more on the hardware side, but I'll check on the other side @cheesestraws mate, I checked the specs and found that pin 15 is the RESET OUT from the EGRET. I added a push button at S1 on the logic board (which...

Hi everyone, I have an LC II, apparently in good shape — no battery damage, it was stored in a warm, dry place, and there’s no visible corrosion. The absence of the J9 IC seems to be normal in these boards. Pin 117 of the CPU is bent, but there is continuity. However, the capacitors near the...

aplogies, it'sduplicated but .... there is something wrong here....

interesting machine ... thanks

@mikes-macs , can u pls expand?

oh!! @killvore .... BeOS ... intriguing Thanks for the suggestions

I was given a Power PC 8600/200. 'm not really passionate about these kinds of machines; they are heavy, the plastic is brittle, they are large and with a questionable design (they are ugly). I did not power it up. I could dissassble it, clean brush, replace caps (even if they look ok), check...

What are the best solutions when doing a bench test on all-in-one Macs? I found the following for the VGA connection: - from ConvertStuffUK for the Classic, SE/30, Plus - the solution from Adrian Black - Guruthree Video Converter - Caymac compact solution For the power supply, I'm thinking of...
