I have not tried that, I bet that's what I need to do.  The documentation is not real clear - the paperwork I got with the upgrade basically says to install the software, pop the CPU in and it'll work, and the software itself says to install the firmware by shutting down, and rebooting with...

Sure you can, just pay attention to master/slave/cable select jumpers on the drive(s). To add to what Cory said:  Rev 1 ROMs in these things do not support two IDE drives per channel.  Rev 3 does for sure, I think Rev 2 does but not sure anymore.  If you can find a Rev 3 ROM SIMM, you can use...

I recently acquired a Giga Designs 1.8GHz G4 upgrade for my Quicksilver '02.  I am having some issues getting it working and need some advice. I have installed the firmware update (3.01) and shut down from inside the updater application, installed the new CPU, and booted while holding the...

Pretty sure you can use either a comm slot (1) card or LCPDS like you’d find in an LC/II/III/475 etc, assuming your PDS slot is not occupied by anything already.

Do you have an ethernet card in the 637?  If not... they're readily available and cheap... best upgrade you can do on an old machine.  Install all the TCP/IP and AppleShare stuff and you will be able to share with just about anything.

ProDOS is Apple II format... totally different from MS-DOS/FAT.  I think the ONLY way to boot the DOS card is from a floppy, CD, or a partition file created by the DOS card utility.

http://www.applefool.com/clockchipping/q630.html ^ that contains everything you need to know.  Other than dealing with very small parts, it's incredibly easy.

I'm just wondering now if maybe a smaller boot partition size would help.  Seems like I ended up with 2GB and 8GB partitions on mine. Nothing wrong with running OS 7.  I overclocked mine to 40MHz so 8.1 runs extremely well, and noticeably better than at 33MHz.  

Odd... is there a newer version of the PC compatibility extensions that you could try?  I'm running OS 8.1 on mine and it's relatively stable.  I don't know if OS version has an effect on that stuff or not, other than support for HFS+ drives.  Fairly sure I've got a 10GB drive in my LC630...

I'd be shocked if they haven't leaked.  ALL the caps in pizza box LC machines I have seen have leaked.  Even those that I know were rarely used.  I would almost lean more towards a power supply issue in this case, but it could go either way.

Your LC475 is not an LCIII or even close to equivalent.  I suspected that it was an LCII for some reason.  SimCity 2000 is not going to run well on that, and it never will unless you found a Presto upgrade or something like that.   LC's and LCII's were just notoriously slow from the get go. ...

Just my own experience but I saw just as many PII/III boxes back in the day in use at home as I did Celerons and AMD K5/K6/etc chips.  Actually the AMDs were really not all that popular until the Athlon series came out.  From then on 2-3 years, it was probably 80% AMD chips in consumer PCs that...

Recapping isn't going to hurt at all but I also have never noticed a decrease in performance.  Maybe quiet or dead audio or a machine that won't boot but not just slow. Many times a simple memory upgrade or a faster hard drive will produce dramatic results.  I remember when I upgraded my LC630...

I wouldn't pass up a G3 ZIF upgrade either if one comes up for sale.  PowerLogix made some up to 1.1GHz.  G4 CPU upgrades are nice and worth pursuing but there's nothing you'll do on a Beige G3 that you really need it for.  The overclocked 400MHz G3 chip I have in mine, currently running at...

Nice score.  Both of mine are weird about RAM too - if I move them around, I often have to reseat everything in order for it to boot.   Dunno if I'd chase that Radeon 9200 or not.  I have one of those and a 7000 as well.  Performance is really about the same.  There are some Sonnet G4 ZIF...

I'd like to see a couple other drives swapped in and see if the results are the same.  There is just something not right about what's happening there. Besides, the argument that "it doesn't work now in 2019 thus it never worked and was not designed to" does not hold any water when it comes to...

SuperDrive = FDHD and thus is backwards compatible... they are the same auto inject drives that are installed in all of the later machines.  It's just a name.  I had an FDHD SE years ago - pretty sure it had a 40MB hard drive and a single floppy.  I had a dual 800k SE too.  Cool hardware.

Looks original enough to me, all of my SEs have text printed in a very dark gray. Not quite sure why but mine never yellowed much.  One of them has been sitting in my office for about 10 years under fluorescent lights and it looks the same as it always has.  My SE/30, though... is blotchy...

They have a broken 190 listed for almost 3x what I paid for the one I was supposed to get.  They also have a LOT of very recent negative feedback.  And I haven't even gotten so much as an apology - the ONLY thing they've sent was a return label for the G3.  If they deal in volume like that, they...

Now it appears that maven_technologies does not have the PowerBook that I was supposed to get.  What a rip off.  I would almost bet money that they just weren't happy with the auction end price... it would not surprise me to see it relisted.
