Missed this one! sorry for the late reply. Ankylosaur is my Synology NAS. It supports connections from System 7 quite happily - that's my custom icon for it.  

uncompressing on Linux will lose the forked status of the files and only recompress part, unfortunately - and that destroys executables. Do you have an OSX machine you can unzip your zip file on instead? that'll preserve forks - I just tested your file and it worked - then transferred the file...

Your photo of the 8200's PSU looks like it could be the photo of my Q840AV's PSU. I turned it on one evening while a friend was visiting, and it was acting a bit wacky. Shut down the 840, and went to bed. In the middle of the night the PSU let out this godawful loud *crack* and stank up the...

When 475s and 605s are overclocked (or underclocked), it changes their gestalt ID to one that the installer doesn't recognise (and was never used by Apple in a shipping product).  If you have a spare 475 board, you can install using it and swap the overclocked one back in - or, I think, booting...

It's like I just can't hit the right keys while using it.

Yeah, I mentioned it on IRC only I think, and not too long ago.  The Quadra 605 I did back then had the yellowing come back over a few months to similar yellowing as its feet - I figured it was a failed attempt, an experiment that showed UV worked temporarily but not long term. I pulled the...

OS X may not, but Linux on my 9500/180MP is perfectly happy to detect and use both CPUs.

Every one of the four CPUs in my Genesis have tiny chips off the corners of the die. Awful way of attaching heatsinks to those CPUs, especially as the dies themselves are kinda small, and the tiniest tilt sideways puts all the spring pressure on one edge, or even worse on one single corner.

The one on the back of the CC is a DB25 - the bottom Centronics 50-pin is really big, 1.5 times the width and perhaps more in height compared to the DB25 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_connector has a really good photo comparing the three kinds you're referring to (the ones on your CD drive...

Does it eventually go through to the desktop with enough waiting? (could be 5 minutes or so).  If it does (hey, even if it doesn't), try booting from a CD and deleting the System Folder/Preferences/Appleshare Prep file if it exists. It may be a long shot, but it fixed a problem with symptoms...

A few pics of my latest - a powerbook 500 with Newer Technology PPC603ev at 167MHz, 24MB RAM, Active matrix colour display and 500MB HD (probably soon to be replaced with SSD).

The 'Power Supply' typeface looks like another of Apple's uses of Univers, also used on loads of Keyboards until relatively recently.  My guess is the bleedy quality could just be due to the difference between a fresh inking of the stamps that imprint the label, and a later point in a run where...

IBM's own datasheet on their PPC740 and 750 (the G3) CPUs mentions temperature a few times. (find it at http://datasheets.chipdb.org/IBM/PowerPC/7xx/PowerPC-740-750.pdf ) Some relevant parts: Storage temps are OK from -55 to +150C Recommended Operating die junction temp is from -40C to +105C...

I had similar - a color display sitting on MDF for years, and it was fine. No marks left on it. I pulled it out while setting up a 6360, and sat it on a satin-coated set of drawers. Overnight it turned to a sticky awful liquid.  I can only presume that age had made it sensitive to whatever is...

Now it's iMac from 2016, speakers from 1993, keyboard from 1991, desk from 1982 and walls & window from 1860something. It's almost like it all belongs.

It would become a piece of hardware that does the same job as OSX's terminal.app This pic is my vt100 hooked up to my 2016 iMac, a dumb terminal too. It's showing irssi (running on the iMac, displaying on the vt100), connected by a Keyspan Twinserial adaptor.

Wasn't there a delay if you had once mounted a server (or tried to mount one incorrectly) and it was no longer on the network you're on, and you could delete a file in the system folder that'd fix that? It's one of those files I always *always* forget the name of, and have to go on a google...

I suspect somewhere along the way someone has mixed up that the 575 and 475/605 boards (which are meant to be pretty much the same logically) are compatible physically, and they're not. It'd be worth dropping a message to lowendmac and letting them know that's wrong.

If it's not the pots, there's another spot on the analog board that can give those symptoms - mine had the same flickering purple issue. A couple of dry solder joints underneath the highlighted part marked below - and especially bad on the green, which was dropping out (leaving R+B = Purple)

There's nothing on the back, just the resistor and a couple of caps on the connector side that I can see. h
